Half of my life is spent at 59 degrees North latitude on the shores of Alaska's Kachemak Bay. The other half is spent at 70 degrees North latitude on the Central Beaufort Sea Coast. Lots happens in between, too, in this land known as The Last Frontier.

The Mountainsmith Organizer





Okay, I know what you're thinking right about now. You think I'm cracked, that there's no way all that gear can be hauled in a manageable manner. but you're wrong: the big bag comes to the rescue. All my Mountain House meals, ramen noodles, bulk cocoa and silk are in the red. Repair kit, first aid, sleeping kit, down booties , flares, capilene, mittens, etc, etc, etc are in the yellow and blue. And look, the green one is empty. Launch a kitchen trash bag in each one for good measure, hell I threw two in the food sack! They even have a transparent window on top for labeling your goods. Say goodbye to fishing around in the wrong bag or pouring through a large duffel for one small item. Just don't be a moron and mislabel them.
The only way to comfortably and effectively pull off a trip of this magnitude is organization. Do it at home and life on the trail and in camp will be a thousand times easier. You will have the time now to thoroughly enjoy the scenery you are passing through. Thats the idea, isn't it?
