This is a vast area that is seldom explored that’s north of Glacier Bay, north west of Haines Alaska and west of the Village Klukwan, and west from along the Haines hwy and the Chikat river. From this location you would travel buy truck, then river boat, then atv’s into the area until the equipment would be left and we go on foot the rest of the way.
Here is a Google info on this area

If you use the map setting you can see it’s a very remote area near Haines Alaska. There are also points for reference with wikipedi and youtube so you can get a better idea of this place.
Ok a few friends and I are thinking about starting a survival tour guide into this area. We want to know if people would be interested in this. It would be a week stay with food and transportation provided with skilled Native Americans and Experienced Alaskan guides to teach survival methods.
This area in the summer has all sorts of wildlife, bears, moose, goats, wolves, eagles spawning salmon and an abundance of edible plants. And there is gold in the streams for panning.
We don’t know what we will charge yet. But we first need to know how many would be interested in going on such a trip.
So would you like to go on such a trip for a week in the summer in this area?
Thanks.
Any comments welcome.
Ask you friends too.
This is not solicitation as we are not a business as yet. We are merely doing field research to see if this is possible. We have been in that area so getting there isn’t a problem. But we still have to figure the costs involved and pay for all the licensing, permits, insurance and equipment, etc and everything else before we do anything. So we are not, I repeat not, looking for customers at this time. But we are looking for numbers of people who might be interested and their view points to determine if there is an interest in this.
Please note that there are clickable places on the map with photos and information.
What about these things to do; trap making, making moccasins and leather clothing, weaving baskets, making primitive weapons and learning how to use them, salmon fishing, making fire the primitive way, building primitive shelters, swimming, berry picking, solar still and water purification, navigation by stars, photography, gold panning, collecting precious stones, marksmanship with bow and arrow and provided rifles?
Have any more suggestions?
We will have 5 guides 3 male and 2 female, also thinking about offering ½ price to a few to help out and we will have two teenagers (18yr) as packers.
I am dead serious about this as I may not have that much longer on earth and want to try this. I have some years of experience as a hunting guide and I have 3 people willing to match my $30,000 investment and we can get loans if need be. I value the advice of the people here. So I am asking here first, then it’s to the travel section with a similar Q.
That sounds like that would be really interesting. I'd love to learn how about that sorta stuff one day. I'd definitely be interested if money wasn't a problem and how things are here at home weren't how they are now.
With the things to do- all those sound really interesting. I've always wanted to learn how to shoot a bow and make a trap.. guess ya could say, learn more about my Native American heritage.
Any one who goes would be lucky for you and others to teach them about those things.
Just a thought.. what about the basics of tracking?
We know heading to Warped Tour for your first time can be scary, but have no fear- the Warped Tour Survival Guide is here! We#39;ve got some tips ...

The Must Haves For Survival
&
a few Do's and Don't.
like..question: is it smart to bring a good camera, or stick to the crappy ones that don't take good pictures?? i hate moshing...
plus i pass out easily..and get overheated..TIPS
thanks!
oh! i'm going to the Dallas TX show..and who knows if it will rain or shine...on july 14th.. :D
drink plenty of water. if you do take a decent camera make sure it has a wrist strap and use it, that way you won't drop it. stay to the back of the crowd when watching a band on stage, if you're up front you'll be one of those girls that passes out and has to be carried out. dress for the weather. it's probably going to 90+ and miserable. wear sunscreen. bring money if you're going to want to buy merch. it'd probably be a good idea to bring a decent size purse (or tote) that will hold the essentials, and maybe a water bottle and/or t-shirt. have fun, and try to see as many as many bands as you can!
The one on the website isn't working for me... can you tell me what exactly it says?

Warped Tour Survival Guide

I have already thought of a nature hike, stream tour, history tour, campfire, wilderness survival, etc. I need program ideas that will not use a whole lot of previous knowledge, something I could research quickly and easily understand. The program has to last at least one hour, be educational, and generated towards all ages. I am working with limited resources.
Can you get volunteer helpers? When I did a Girl Scout day camp, I got a fish and wildlife officer to come with his "fish catching boat", in which he'd caught some fish, which he then used to do a program on live, local fish for the kids.
I also got a ranger to bring owl pellets, and disect them with the girls. This is something you could do yourself, if needed. They come with instructions, and a list of wht you might expect to find inside. You can buy them on line.
Archery is very cool. Get a boy scout or girl scout certified archery instructor to bring gear and teach the course. Safety will be strongly enforced. I used older girls who were good archers to help out the instructor, who happened to be a watercraft safety officer.
Set up a "swap" station, where each kid can make a couple of swaps. You can kill 30-60 minutes easily this way.
When I run a camp, I like to rotate the kids through stations, each lasting about half-an-hour. Firebuilding, cooking, crafts, archery, plant identification, tree hike (identifying trees), fishing (if there is a pond handy), maybe a kickball game. Get lots of help...that's key to success and your sanity!

On the tire tracks of Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman ...
For Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman set off on their long-cycle motorcycle journey Way, literally thousands of people have followed their tire tracks. Many have defied, was walking alone, while the majority have opted for the option of the lead. This is a blessing for the industry motorcycle tour was with visits from the basic road going to the UK and Europe, with the most extreme movements such as the United Kingdom to China through Mongolia, etc. But it was a little too much bravado and too little preparation? Customers of these tours have changed much in the driving experience, but most have fully rely on their leaders, regardless of what would happen if the driver had an accident or somehow impossible to continue the tour. It is fine to say that the tour would be canceled, and only granted, but customers still need to maintain or to their next destination or back home. Ewan and Charlie go directly not only on their bikes. They went through rigorous training before their departure. They were in first aid, safety, map reading, etc. They also have a support team and a big pot of money, to be emptied when they need it can be trained. So why should we take a walk long distance without? It is not possible pots of money, but Extra Mile Bike Tours are now not only offer tours, bicycles for teaching these skills, but also carry courses in survival skills, map reading and first aid for motorcyclists. The basic courses and advanced courses run in Wales are carried out in France, Spain and Germany. Extra Mile fill an obvious gap in the market, prepare the public for this long-haul operations, but also and equally important, if you decided to go a little further, or the proximity to home, either in groups or just how to learn “” I t will be very valuable. www. extramilebiketours. com
