Damn you Kevin, lol, your wind gusts just fanned that tiny spark in me to a burning flame!  I have to get to Alaska!

What a great story! I have only camped in conditions that bad one time when a tornado blew through. It was scary, but I was not alone in a wild, wild place without rescue at hand. I can only imagine what a tough "camping trip" you had. That is a great read. Thanks for sharing your thrilling adventure.

Great experience.  Great story.  My bro spent just about his whole grizzly hunt in his tent a few years ago.  He did get a wolf during a weather break.  Thanks Kevin.

Well so much for your "I'm not much of a writer" comment.

That was a fantastic tale very well told.
You are a very lucky man on many levels, particularly the support from your wife.

Thanks for this, very inspirational.

Nicely done, thanks for taking the time to share your adventure!
The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.

Helluva story, Kevin.  Thanks for sharing.   :thumbsup:    :thumbsup:

Kevin,

Nice telling of a important story.  People don't understand that when hunting AK you are one or two mistakes from being a statistic.  Having the where with all to endure and the skills to make it happen are often the difference between life and death.

That may have been the same year that John experienced the 114 mph winds while on the moose ridge.

I'm glad it turned out well for both of you.

Thanks for the comments.  I always just hope any story I write is entertaining. If it inspires someone to pursue a dream, then all the better.

Yes I'm definitely both lucky and blessed. Today I'm doing what I really enjoy most, which is spending a day hanging out and having fun with my wife.

You prefaced your story with the claim of not being a good writer, but I respectfully disagree.  An excellent writeup of a story.  I almost felt I was there with you.  Very well done.  
Also, a good outlook on a hunt that may not have been what you hoped for, but was a testing experience.
