In the meantime things need replacing and my go to store (Cabelas) has gone to crap since Bass Pro took them over. I'm just wondering where a guy can find all kinds of gear everything from camo rain gear to waders to fishing poles that a guy can order online. Any and all suggestions welcome as I won't be flying to Anchorage any time soon now that trapping season is on us. We get out of life only as much as we really want and work hard enough to achieve

Box to just Box and they will send it I have to do that on half of what I order to get it. Born and raised in paradise https://tedsfurshed.square.site/ you tube-Akntrpr's outdoors H.O.T.

If you can find a way to use a physical address (or make it appear as such) you'll have much better luck. Hey Ken, on the topic of mail, a friend of mine is flying out to Lime Village to maintain the runway this winter. Apparently all his mail has to go through McGrath and wait until Lime requests a flight. Or something like that.

It ends up here and then the Lime Village Council has to arrange a charter every few months to get it. The issues I usually have with getting stuff from Amazon is the notice...............".the item you requested cannot be shipped to your address due the items being prohibited on passenger aircraft"............or words to that effect Mean As Nails
