One of my mantra's in the woods around here is never go to the shitter without a gun. A handful of times now I've had both bears and wolves pop out of the brush while my pants were down. They seem to know when you are most vulnerable.

Getting kilt while answering the call of nature would make for some awkward funeral talk, "at least he died doing what he loved" etc.

A .44 in a chest holster loaded for bear is a good thing to keep handy whatever you are up to in the bushes in AK.

Much smaller than what many folks are probably looking for in a bigger camp tent, but Alaska Tent and Tarp's Artic Oven line has a pretty loyal following up here.

They are bombproof, come in a variety of configurations, and come rigging for stove.

They make more traditional style wall tents as well.

I've used the 12' Arctika and the 10' Artic Oven and both have been awesome.
