The tricky thing about AK isn’t just the carnivores, which include the mosquitoes and no-see-ums in my book, it’s the terrain/weather. I’m with the FD here and we rescue tourists every summer who get lost and are woefully unprepared to deal with the terrain and changing weather. AK will kill the shit out of you. It is also massive with very few roads, can’t just “walk to a fence” and find your way out… The rivers are deceiving, people/hunters die every year trying to cross them. Lot of them are glacier fed and swift… All that being said, I can’t say I miss the horse fly’s, chiggers, and ticks in TX… Oh, and stumbling into crotch high cactus at night, hog hunting, missing that…
