Thanks for all the great info, guys!
I'm definitely going to get collapsible poles, It sounds like aluminum may be the best option for durability, but not totally opposed to carbon. Black diamond definitely has a lot of options in my range as well as REI branded poles.
I love the idea of vacuum sealing a spare set of clothes, just in case. We'll be wearing wool base layers and be carrying emergency blankets as a backup/ JIC measure also. I've heard of people getting soicked in with weather or dark, their GPS battery goes dead and that's all it takes to be spending a night on the tundra.
Our truck is from Alaska 4x4, they specifically cater to folks heading up the haul road and even offered a discount to hunters through the Rokslide forum.
We're planning to shakedown gear and identify any fit/ rubbing issues at this years Total Archery Challenge, but will definitely have leukotape on hand (it's like the more modern/ stickier version of moleskin) it's a life saver for covering hot spots on feet especially. will stick all week on your heel and will stop a blister in it's tracks.
We're hoping that bugs wont be too bad since were going up in late August, but still taking a couple bottles of Ben's 100 and head nets, just in case.
We're primarily going to bow hunt and our base camp will be within the 5 mile rifle exclusion zone, but if things arent looking good we are bringing a rifle so we can hike out passed the 5 mile zone and have a chance at one long distance. It will just be nice to be on the east side of the Sag river where there's a lot less hunter pressure.
It sounds like a few folks thinking about a similar trip, I'll be documenting the trip and will post any lessons learned and gear list when it's done but will also be glad to share any logistic info if anyone is getting serious about a trip.
Fou us, the gear is one of the most expensive parts since we don't have much that is suitable for the climate up there, but if you already had a lot of the gear (pack, boots, puffies, sleeping bag, tent, poles, wool laters, HD raingear, etc) then the biggest expense would be airboat, truck rental and airfare.
