Noticed you are retired USAF, Eielson AFB is a great resource on a trip, made this trip last summer and it was great to pick up a few items.....and mail unused items home!
I see you are getting the idea of how to handle your retirement!
I'm clearly dating myself, but 30-40 years ago when I hunted and hiked in the Rocky Mountains in Alberta alone for a week or two at a time, I had no such technology. The best I could to is let someone know where my truck would be parked when I started out and if I wasn't back within 2-3 days of saying so, come looking.Now the technology is as the top of everyone's list. Have we lost our real sense of adventure?
I find it interesting that communications technology has become such a critical element for travel. 25-30 years ago, or maybe longer, it wasn't available. Similarly, I expect the mechanical abilities of a bike, or any machine for that matter was as reliable. Nor was the availability of help along the way, what with everyone else carrying cell phones and the like. Yet, knowing where we are at all times and being only seconds away from calling for help seems critical these days.I'm clearly dating myself, but 30-40 years ago when I hunted and hiked in the Rocky Mountains in Alberta alone for a week or two at a time, I had no such technology.

Being on the road without a phone, however, is not one of them. Lannis
I see Bear Spray on your list, I believe that's prohibited in Canada, our bears need feeding too.
