Answer 7

I am a long time Alaskan, survival instructor, and long time advanced EMT.

1.  Bring any medications and prescriptions.  Do not expect to get any refilled while here.

2.  If you have a medical condition - bring records.

3.  Bring your dental plan, medical plan, and auto insurance cards - handy if you need them.  A real pain in the @ss if you do not have them when needed.  

4.  Spare glasses

5.  Bring some cash - and test our ATM cards on arrival.  You won't find many ATM's outside the cities, and, the ones you do find will charge $5 for using it.  Out of state checks are useless.

6.  If you have a digital camera - bring spare batteries and memory cards.  If you need a special lens or accessory - you need to bring it.  Stores here carry very few items like this.

7.  Binoculars are good - Image Stabilized binoculars are much, much better and worth every penny.

8.  Buy a copy of the MilePost and read up on the places you will be visiting.  It will save you tons of time.

9.  Don't over pack - it gets into the 90's and 100's in the summer.

10.  Bring bug spray with built in sunblock.  Pump bottle - not the aerosol - unless you like the scent of it when it blows open in the hot sun inside your rental car.

11. Bring a firearm if you are heading off the road system.  A big one.  

12.  Raingear and a wind breaker - weather can change quick - if you have a lightweight coat handy you will be very happy.

Hope you enjoy your trip!
