Re: Alaska Owners?

There is ferry service to Bellingham it just takes 1 1/2 days from Ketchikan. Also a good 17' aluminum skiff is perfect for most things in SE Alaska. You don't have to go far for good fishing, hunting and camping. If you don't have them already, mustang suits are recommended. A skiff is nice because there are pretty large tidal changes and the bigger the boat, the harder it is to deal with if it gets beached. There are ways / tricks that deal with this problem and prevent it from happening in the first place I'm sure you husband know this.

As for tires, for inexperienced winter drivers, I recommend two different sets. Studded snow tires for the winter and AT's or MT's for the summer. If you've got a few winter driving seasons under your belt, you could probably get away with the AT's or MT's year round.
