Camp equipment rental packages available if you don't have your own gear. Includes tents (4 or 6 man), cots, sleeping pads, camp stove, cookware, and essentials. Pick up in Fairbanks early August.
Most hunters fly commercially to Fairbanks, rent a vehicle, stock supplies (Fairbanks is your last resupply), then drive the Dalton Highway to base camp. Cold Foot has fuel and food at MP 175. Many arrive the night before departure for orientation and to meet the team. Your vehicle stays secure at base camp while you hunt.
Arrowhead uses a "Max Payload" system—your party gets a total weight allowance including body weight, equipment, and supplies:
- •Solo: 350 lbs
- •2 people: 650 lbs
- •3 people: 1,000 lbs
- •4 people: 1,300 lbs
- •5 people: 1,650 lbs
- •6 people: 2,000 lbs
Your group decides how to distribute it. Field communication via Garmin InReach or Zoleo devices encouraged.
Arrowhead operates two high-performance Maule aircraft, both flown by experienced pilots. The operation is family-owned and has transported thousands of hunters over 45 years.
Black bears aren't available during carbou season. You must be an Alaska resident or hunt with next of kin to pursue grizzly without a guide. Many bring collapsible fishing gear or a small rifle for ptarmigan.
