Thanks for the feedback, Missy! Yes, the AHAP program which generated the CIR images, took place from the late 1970s through the early 1980s. Therefore the images are indeed dated. But I believe the images are still of immense value to Alaska river floaters, whether they're hunting, hiking, fishing, or river rafting. Even though a particular logjam that shows on a CIR may have long ago washed out to sea and been sawn up for lumber somewhere, rivers tend to jam in the same general areas as a result of landcover and terrain issues. Of course, the location of whitewater sections will not have changed, because these are often created as a result of constricted terrain, which will not have changed over the years. This means that the CIR images from all those years ago are still very relevant for trip-planning purposes, and the best news is that they're available for free download! The free session here is only one of ten sessions in our Alaska hunt planning series that use the CIR images and Google Earth imagery to get a close look at terrain and vegetation, along with river hazards, for the purpose of identifying prime big-game habitat, river hazards, and other features relevant for folks floating remote Alaska rivers. It's all available on our Alaska Outdoors University system for $35 / month. In addition to that resource, I provide a direct, hands-on coaching and mentoring service for folks planning remote Alaska expeditions. Both are available at this link: member.alaskaoutdoorssupersite.com/signup

@@AKSupersite GAIA GPS is another good source of modern high resolution imagery as well as wildfire perimeters, land ownership, contour lines, etc. I use Gaia GPS to navigate with my phone and to scout rivers with my laptop computer.

@@RetrieverTrainingAlone I didn't know about GAIA GPS. Just signed up. I have been using AllTrails, which appears to do much the same thing. Their interface puts the toggle for other layers right on the screen so you can easily toggle layers on or off. I used AllTrails for several of the sessions in this series, and will take a look at GAIA GPS to see if it warrants a session all its own. One of my sessions reviews the fire data, which is readily available online. But it's important for hunters to realize that many of Alaska's wildfires don't touch the understory and are therefore irrelevant when it comes to habitat loss.

@@AKSupersite GAiA GPS is useful in the field for navigating back to the raft or navigating back to a kill site, for looking at imagery during the trip, for determining the number of minutes and miles floated, determining miles to the next campsite or takeout or even showing cell phone coverage maps. I use an InReach and GAIA GPS on a smart phone on a daily basis in remote areas in interior Alaska with no cell phone coverage.

Glad it was helpful!

Agreed. Most of our gear reviews involve equipment that has been in use for many years.

This model has two windows and a screen over each one. But not the entire door. There is no question that this is the best four-season cabin-style tent on the market.

@@AKSupersite Thank you for your reply. Do you mean it has two windows in addition to the front door ? I only see one window in addition to the front door. Also, do you think the tent is too warm for summer camping in a warmish climatee like southern Colorado ?

@@AKSupersite Also, does that bright yellow color make the tent a curiosity for Bears or at least make it more visible to Bears, Mountain Lions, or other predators ?

@@newlifeeveryday1821 there are two windows only. One in the door and one in the back of the tent. Keep in mind that there are several different models available, so check out their site for the best fit for your situation. www.airframesalaska.com/Airframes-tents_a/289.htm

@@newlifeeveryday1821 there is no evidence that I am aware of which would suggest that bears or other predators are attracted to a tent because of its color. As a user, there are two considerations with respect to color: 1) visibility from a distance (which helps you locate the tent when you're returning to camp, and 2) interior lighting. Lighter-colored tents allow more light inside, which allows the occupants to read, or do other things inside the tent without having to use a light, during those days when you're holed up inside the tent because of inclement weather.

Thank you!

My pleasure. I intend to produce more content like this in the future.

Lots of tent designs out there, and some work well for some folks and others don't. The Arctic Oven is in a class all its own, and is not intended as a "one size fits all" tent.

John, the site is live now, and you can find it at this link: akoutdoorsuniversity.com

I believe there is a burn-proof cloth you can get that serves that purpose.
