It will be wet, windy and will rain sleet, snow side ways but not too cold. Keep dry and you won’t need true cold weather gear.

Wind, rain, and yes, snow. Rain gear is mandatory. Good thermals, also. Wear what the locals wear. I spent 3 years in Kodiak, and learned the hard way.
Just doing what I want now.

Get some real rain gear; HH, Grundens, etc., and a pair of extratuff boots. I like to put a pair of neoprene liners in the boots so that I can take them out every night to dry. What are you planning to do in the area? Lots of fox in some of those places. If you don't want to fork over a lot of money for a nonresident trapping licence you can always buy a hunting license and shoot some. Ptarmigan populations are way down on most of the peninsula, might be some on Akutan. The waterfowl hunting in the area can be really good. Take a fishing pole and a few lures and cast from shore for dolly's.

I dont live as remote as the Aleutains but live off the road system. We go to anchorage and fill up totes and mail them to us and make sure we also mail our clothes and bring the max allowed worth of groceries home with on our flights. That's what I used to do in the old days. Before Amazon Prime and ebay. Now I get almost everything shipped in for free.

Like Jeff, Amazon and Ebay, target is pretty cheap too. Can get a meat order from Mike's Meats in Eagle River, averages out to about 5 bucks a pound to our village for a large pack of varied meats. We eat mostly moose, caribou, and salmon though.

Amazon prime and Target both ship free we use both but since all this Covid crap shipping times have gotten longer and longer
We get out of life only as much as we really want and work hard enough to achieve
