For an additional fee you can be close to the comfort of a fixed lodge with all the benefits of a float trip. CLICK ON THE LINK TO SEE THE PRODUCT

Helinox High Cots  $75 for up to 10 days

• Weighing in around 6-1/2 pounds with 1/2 to 1/3 of the packing size of other cots these are the perfect way to enjoy the back country. Save your back, knees and all around body for the important task of catching fish and viewing wildlife – These  can add extreme comfort to your trip that may help you stay out an extra week.  (We do not allow personal cots in our tents)

Alaskan Outfitter Gazebo –  $35 per day

• Cook under the awning while protected from the wind and rain (no cooking inside the gazebo)
• Use the rain fly to block the wind and rain or open side panel mesh to view the surroundings and feel the breeze while controlling the bugs
• Dine in the Gazebo for a relaxing meal, to edit videos or read a book
• Almost a requirement for extended trips with multi day layovers or larger groups
• Some see this as unnecessary weight while others will not travel without it.  I may only set this up less than 1/2 of the time.  But when I do it improves the overall quality and enjoyment of the trip.
• This Gazebo is not recommended to be set up under the most extreme Alaskan weather – there may be days when hunkering down in the tents is your best option.  These Gazebos are no longer available and special “training” is expected while using these.

• Easy Pop up design with 2 wind panels

MSR or NRS Wings and Zings Rain Fly’s – $10 per day

Tents – 6 person Alaskan Outfitter series – included in standard package

• Did I mention these are standard?? –  they are still worth mentioning in the comfortable camping section even though they are included!
• Spacious – we recommend 2-3 people in each of our 6 man tents
• Stand up inside to change 6’3” center height
• Use our chair to put on waders and clothes in the tent
• Extra space to spread out gear/dry clothing 10’8” floor
• The vestibule will keep your gear inside dry
• Use the vestibule for removing rain gear
• Store waders and shoes and vests outside but protected
• We recommend 3” plus thick sleeping pads for better sleeping comfort as well as more camping options on Tundra, small or medium sized cobble beaches
• These tents are a little heavy and a little tough to set up and a lot worth it when the weather rolls in.
• We do not allow personal cots but you are welcome to rent our 6.5lb Helinox cots for your trip
