Nick, Brett and John head north to the Alaska Tundra to chase caribou. This is a DIY adventure above the Artic Circle. This was an incredible trip with lots of wildlife and unique scenery. Join us as we explore our limits mentally and physically. Thanks for watching!

Great trip! Good memories, more to come!

[@stackemoutdoors]

Excellent trip! It was definitely a bucket list hunt for sure! Lots of hard work and memories made 👍

[@Antler_addict]

Hunting the frozen tundra was the most unenjoyable hunt I have ever been on!!!! I will never do that again!!!

[@stackemoutdoors]

That’s the truth! It was way worse than I expected! I won’t do that trip again. If anything I’d use a guide or do an easier hunt

[@ryanwilliams7431]

Looks wet! A lot of cool shots though well done.

[@stackemoutdoors]

Soaking wet and cold! There’s really no way to stay completely dry. Thank you! We appreciate it.

I'll be up there for work this year, may be looking to do the same thing. Did you all hike out past the archery corridor or are you in a different area altogether? Great vieo!

[@stackemoutdoors]

Yea we spiked out a couple trips in the rifle area. Bow hunting was extremely difficult. I would take your time before you start hiking. Maybe spend a day spotting from the road to locate the most. Best of luck if you give it a shot! Thank you!

5 miles over tundra! no thanks!

⁠@@josephindahl6388 good call! The tundra is miserable!! 😂

Wisconsin resident. Alaska construction worker. I did this last year. Will repeat. Hike in. Early season better than later.Avoid the yellow grass that these guys can't avoid.We spiked for 12 days . Grams count.Dry food rules.I drank untreated water the whole time.Bring a pole for grayling. I'm 56 and had no problem in and out several times....avoid the yellow grass. Hip boots rule. Survival 22 will put Ptarmigan on the menu, taste like diver duck.good luck

@@davidkresl2195 right on. I was thinking earlier would be the time to try next time. Did you get into any nice bulls? Stay away from the yellow grass, huh? Interesting. Thanks for the info!

Packing the caribou out on an Alpacka 😂

[@stackemoutdoors]

Indeed! 🦙 😂 These Alpacka rafts came in clutch! They allowed us to access a lot more country.

I was up there this year as well, curious what dates you guys were on the road?

[@stackemoutdoors]

Right on! We were there the first part of September. We really didn’t see a lot of Caribou. Did you have any luck?

[@jamisonwinter1437]

@@stackemoutdoors we did get some but worked our tails off. Same time frame. Saw very few animals

[@stackemoutdoors]

@@jamisonwinter1437 yea the tundra is no joke up there. Seems like we missed or couldn’t find the migration??
