Hello my friends to the North of me. My wife and I will be driving from Dillon,MT to Homer, AK. Bought some property in Seldovia a while back. Always wanted to drive the Alaska Highway and need to get the boat up there. So get to cover both bases at once. Leaving sometime around middle of May. Take a week or so going up.
Was hoping to put together a list of people along the way that I could contact in case things go south. Or when things go all good just to say hello.
Have met some of you already and visited with some of you as well. PM me if you would like. Appreciate all of ya. Tater

When in Tok, stop by and see Ted Hansen. He has a trapping supply place there.

Make sure you go through your boat and truck when crossing the border into Canada. Firearms & ammo specifically, spring assist knives are sketchy but I’ve never lost mine as they never asked about it. In lots of cases they’ll just turn you around, but sometimes they’re real dinks about minor stuff.
Good luck! I hope to make that trip one day too.

Get a front end bra hood protector and vinyl headlight covers for your truck. I made that mistake driving the Alcan with a new Ford Superduty... (it wasn't new when I got to Kenai). Big trucks coming the other way kick up speedy gravel chips.

Many Thanks to everyone for the PMs and the travel info.

if its a boat trailer make sure your bearings are good and repacked.....carry extra spare tires and gas....don't count on places being open past 6pm or 9pm in smaller places....carry tools and make sure you can loosen your lug nuts with the tools you have...something to put under your jack because shoulders can be muddy......BUG JUICE...expect the unexpected like animals jumping out anywhere....have something besides a cell phone for emergencies like a spot, inreach or sat phone....shovel....toilet paper.....snacks, water and road food....MORE BUG JUICE....

I have done similar. Up out of Haines to Fairbanks and then the Dalton with a boat trailer. I would recommend two spare loaded hubs, two spare tires, for the trailer. Keep your trailer as light as you can, carry the weight in the truck, if possible. We carried four chains for the truck and a set for the trailer. Done this in the fall, so may be different traction considerations for you.
Long stretches of nothing on the AK HWY. Done that 4x in a rig with no trailer. I went out of my way to not get broke down in Canada on both routes and it was worth it when things went south, as they will.
