Q5: What’s the one backpacking essential you cannot live without? Because most of Alaska is off the road system, planning is important here–especially when fly-in backpacking. When landing in a remote area, there may not be groceries, gear or trash facilities available. #ParkChat

A5: The most essential thing to bring is self-reliance! You are dependent on your own resources here. Always pack plenty of food & fuel & carry extra rations. Come with proper gear, incl. outerwear, thermal layers & rain gear. Bear resistant containers are a must. #ParkChat

replying to @LakeClarkNPS @LakeClarkNPS A5: Haven’t done much backcountry yet with our kids, but hubby does quite a bit. He’d probably say water filter and tent. #ParkChat
