Preferred Product List for Hidden Alaska Dall Sheep Hunt
Footwear
The first category that we would like discuss is footwear. Proper footwear can make or break a hunt. Cold, wet feet make it uncomfortable to sit and glass. Sore, blistered feet make it difficult to quietly sneak or quickly get into position for the shot.
Leather Hiking Boots
Kenetrek’s Mountain Extreme boot is a great choice for this hunt. They are full leather, waterproof boots. Their 400 grams of insulation will provide enough warmth on the cool mornings but not be too warm for the long hikes you will be taking each day. Through our experience, the Mountain Extreme’s advanced lug design has been a hunt saver when navigating wet, icy, uneven terrain. This boot will provide the support you need for the varied conditions you will encounter on this hunt. We have used this exact boot on Dall Sheep hunts in Alaska, Goat and Moose hunts in BC, and a Tahr and Chamois hunt in New Zealand. You simply will not find a finer mountain boot.
Now, an item that can make a world of difference when wearing leather boots is a good gaiter system. We use and recommend the Kenetrek gaiters. Even though the Mountain Extreme’s have a rock guard and are built with high quality components, a pair of gaiters will save on wear and tear on both your boots and your clothing!

For the many stream crossings that you will have to perform on this hunt you will need something fully waterproof and packable. For this we recommend Wiggy Waders. These are the waders we use on hunts like the one you’ll be on and they work wonderfully. Too many times we have had to leave them with our guides because they liked them so much. They are lightweight(under a pound), packable, and easy to slip over your boots and clothing. You can view these waders at http://wiggys.com/moreinfo.cfm?Product_ID=5.
Retail: $59.99 Outdoor Connection Exclusive Price: $54.99
Mike, at Hidden Alaska, recommends Koflach plastic boots with waterproof socks. If you would rather choose this product group please follow the recommendations from his website. We have not had quality experiences with that type of product on our Alaska sheep hunts and simply aren’t comfortable making a recommendation that will be useful on this hunt only.
Camp Shoes
The Muck SUV hiker is our choice for the quality camp shoe that Mike recommends. They will keep you warm and dry walking around camp and in and out of your tents. These hikers easily slip on and off and are built well enough that you could wear them out in the field. They are also lightweight and easy to pack.

Socks
As important as your boots are, your socks are equally important. The right socks will help regulate foot temperature and keep your feet warm even when damp. We strongly recommend a layering system similar to what we will recommend for your clothing. A good next to skin sock that wicks moisture is critical to this system working properly. For this layer we use and recommend the Danner Thermolite sock. It is antimicrobial throughout its construction so it will minimize odor development. Your next layer should be a midweight merino wool sock. Merino wool will keep you warm even when wet and will not begin to smell after days of heavy use. A good choice for the midweight is the Danner Merino Wool Pronghorn. Always remember – it never hurts to have an extra pair or two in case you get wet! We’ll discuss how to pack extra socks in your daypack farther down this list.
Danner Thermolite:

Clothing
The next product grouping that we’d like to work on is clothing. Layering is the key to allowing a quality clothing “system” work. Each layer plays its own part.
Next to Skin Layer
The first part of the system is the clothing that you will wear next to your skin. We have had tremendous success with 100% merino wool long underwear. It is the ultimate material for moisture wicking, insulation, and scent elimination. There are a lot of synthetic products on the market, most of which we have tested and been disappointed with. They are great for a day or two but just don’t remain scent free like wool. Our recommendation is a product made by Minus 33. Your outfitter recommends two weights: a lightweight and a midweight set. You can view both weights on the following webpage. They make the tops in crew neck http://minus33.com/minus33ls.htm, turtle neck http://minus33.com/minus33tneck.htm, or in ¼ zip http://minus33.com/minus33ziptops.htm.
Retail: $39.99 Outdoor Connection Exclusive Price: $29.99.
Bottoms are cut one way.
http://www.minus33.com/minus33bottoms.htm
Retail: $29.99 Outdoor Connection Exclusive Price: $26.99
*Your price is the same for both midweight and lightweight layers.
Insulation Layer
We believe in the insulating properties of a vest. A good vest will provide warmth to the core part of our body while allowing for more mobility in the arms when you need it most.
Our recommendation is: The Sitka Celsius Vest http://www.sitkagear.com/Product.aspx?cat=60.
Retail: $149.99 Outdoor Connection Exclusive Price: $134.
Mike also recommends a good wool shirt to use as an extra insulation layer for this hunt. We recommend the new Browning 100% wool sweater with windcutter technology for this layer. We all know the properties of wool are difficult to beat on a hunt like this. When you combine this with the windcutter technology this sweater is a must-have garment. We are extremely excited about the potential of this sweater and will be wearing it ourselves this fall. You can view this sweater at http://www.browning.com/products/catalog/clothing/detail.asp?value=020A&cat_id=300&type_id=144
Retail: $109.99 Outdoor Connection Exclusive Price: $94.99
The final piece of the insulation layer as recommended by your outfitter is a fleece Jacket and Pant to use on the really cool days. For this layer we recommend the Browning 4x Microfleece Jacket and Pant. This fleece will provide warmth and aid in blocking the wind when you need it most. We don’t recommend that you wear these garments each day. They are designed to be packable and ready should the conditions worsen and you need a little “extra”. You can view the 4X Microfleece at http://www.browning.com/products/catalog/clothing/detail.asp?value=029A&cat_id=304&type_id=790
Jacket Retail: $99.99 Outdoor Connection Exclusive Price: $89.99
Pant Retail: $79.99 Outdoor Connection Exclusive Price: $69.99
Insulation Layer/Outer Layer
Sitka’s 90% top and bottoms are our choice for this type of hunt. They are quiet, durable, wick moisture, and will keep you dry if you do encounter light precipitation. This layer is called 90% for a reason: you will wear this 90% of the time, weather it is as an outer layer or an insulation layer.

Jacket Retail: $249.99 Outdoor Connection Exclusive Price: $224.99
Pant Retail: $229.99 Outdoor Connection Exclusive Price: $206.99
Waterproof, Wind Blocking Layer
This is undoubtedly the key to allowing your clothing system to work when the weather gets bad. This outer layer should be built to withstand the elements while allowing the next to skin and insulation layer to work. This does not have to be a heavy layer. When you are layered properly this should actually be lightweight clothing that will keep the rain and wind off of you. You will need a garment that is 100% waterproof, including taped seams and waterproof zippers. There is nothing worse than having to spend a day in the field wet. We have had the best experiences with the Sitka Stormfront Lite top and bottom. These garments are not only lightweight and durable but will keep you dry under any condition and block the wind extremely well.

Jacket Retail: $369.99 Outdoor Connection Exclusive Price: $332.99
Pant Retail: $269.99 Outdoor Connection Exclusive Price: $242.99
This is how we would plan on layering for your hunt:
- Next to Skin Layer
- Insulation Layer(s) with vest
- Protection Layer
- 100% waterproof, wind blocking layer
i. If the weather is favorable we would start with the waterproof/wind blocking layer in our packs and ready to go should the conditions worsen.
Gloves and Hats
A basic camo ball cap will work well for most of your time in the field. We’re sure you have plenty of these but will be sending one down for you free of charge. When it gets cold a stocking hat is handy to keep your head and ears warm. If you don’t have one of these let us know and we’ll send one of those to you as well. If it is raining it is best to rely on your rain jacket’s hood to keep dry.
We also recommend a balaclava type of head covering to protect from wind and weather. We use the Avery Yukon hood. This is a hood that is meant to be worn over a hat. This is extremely useful because you will not have to take anything off to put in on and it can be pulled down and worn around the neck if not needed on the head. Using it this way will no doubt maximize your “hunting” time!

Gloves can be a little tricky. Big and bulky will keep you warm but make it difficult to make the shot when you need to. Too thin and your fingers will freeze. Most hunters still wear one pair of gloves at a time. We have had a lot of luck layering our gloves like our clothing. On the cooler mornings and days it will be helpful to wear a thin glove inside a heavier insulating glove. We wear the Under Armour liner glove under either a heavy or light insulating glove. This liner glove does wonders to wick moisture away from your skin to keep your hands feeling dry and warm no matter what. This also allows us to quickly “shed” a heavier glove to handle a weapon with ease for the shot of a lifetime. A good heavyweight glove is the Manzella Kodiak Glove – this glove performs as well as any water resistant glove we have seen. It is pretty warm, though, and would be too much during the mid-day hours on warmer days. We see you using this in the cool mornings or if you stop for a few hours to “glass”. A good lightly insulated glove is the Manzella Stalker Glove – this glove will provide some protection from water but will not be 100% waterproof. It will be extremely quiet and windproof. We see you wearing this glove most of the time. When it is really raining it is not only a good idea to have a couple pair of gloves but to also have a neoprene pair. Neoprene will keep you dry and, maybe more importantly, keep you warm should you get wet. A good neoprene glove is made by Stearns: http://www.stearnsflotation.com/dyn_prodlist.php?k=78028.

Retail on the Under Armour Camo Liner Glove: $21.99 Outdoor Connection Exclusive Price: $19.99
Mike also recommends a pair of leather gloves for this hunt. Leather is highly durable and will hold up to the wear and tear you may put on them during a stalk in rough terrain or climbing steep rock ridges. We recommend Carhartt gloves http://www.streiffsstore.com/servlet/-strse-10434/CARHARTT-FENCER-GLOVE-A117BRN/Detail.
Retail: $10.99 Outdoor Connection Exclusive Price: $8.99
Optics, Pack, and Accessories
Binoculars
A high quality set of binoculars that we recommend are made by Leupold. The Golden Ring 10×42HD’s provide a crisp, clear picture in the lowest of light conditions. They are also built to stand up to everything you will ever throw at them and backed by Leupold’s Lifetime Warranty. Quality optics will reduce eye fatigue and nearly eliminate your chances of a headache after long hours of glassing for game. It is imperative that you bring a high quality set of binoculars, at a minimum, on this trip. You can view these at http://www.leupold.com/hunting-and-shooting/products/binoculars/golden-ring-series/golden-ring-10×42mm-hd/.
Retail: $799.99 Outdoor Connection Exclusive Price: $719.99
It is always a good idea to carry your binoculars on a bino system. If you don’t know what this is you can view it at http://www.streiffsstore.com/servlet/-strse-1450/CRO-BINO-SYSTEM-BLACK/Detail
The bino system will keep your binoculars at your chest and ready for whenever you may need them. They will also eliminate a lot of the weight you would feel while carrying binoculars with a standard neck strap. The bino system is an inexpensive way to make a huge difference on your hunt.
Retail: $24.99 Outdoor Connection Exclusive Price: $22.49
Rangefinder
When the moment of truth arrives a rangefinder will eliminate any doubt as to how far your game is from you. A couple of things to think about: 1. A laser rangefinder will work far better than one that needs a reflective surface to obtain a distance reading – especially at long distances. 2. A rangefinder with a scan feature will allow you to quickly scan an area or follow a moving animal. This is especially helpful when trying to give distance readings to a hunting partner.
Our number one recommendation for a rangefinder to take on this trip is the Leupold RX1000. You can view this rangefinder at http://www.leupold.com/hunting-and-shooting/products/rangefinders/rx-1000-compact-rangefinders/rx-1000-compact-digital-laser-rangefinder/.
Retail: $399.99 Outdoor Connection Exclusive Price: $359.99
Spotting Scope
A spotting scope is not something that has been identified as necessary for this hunt but is an item that we have carried with us while hunting Dall sheep in Alaska. Not only will you be able to glass objects at farther distances but you will also be able to differentiate between a “good” animal and a “great” animal with the increased power that a spotting scope provides, not to mention they’re a ton of fun! Quite simply, Swarovski offers the best spotting scopes available. You will not find a brighter, crisper, clearer, or more durable spotting scope than that made by Swarovski. We recommend the angled ATS model, which will work well for this hunt and many other applications. We recommend a scope with an 80mm objective lens for optimum light transmission. We also recommend the 20x-60x eyepiece for this spotting scope. This eyepiece will allow you the flexibility to utilize the spotting scope in a variety of situations.
You can view these products at http://www.swarovskioptik.us/en_us/products/48
Retail on the set is $2869.99 Outdoor Connection Exclusive Price: $2159.99
Please spend a little time on Swarovski’s website – you may also be interested in things such as camera adapters or a soft case to protect your investment. If you are interested in any of these items just let me know and I’ll get you your Outdoor Connection exclusive price.
We recommend a Vanguard Tripod for your use on this trip. The one that we use is adjustable from 11 to 19 inches and weighs only 29 ounces so it is easily packed in your daypacks. It has a bubble level and a 3 way pan head for precision. You price on this tripod is $44.99. Regular retail is $49.99. As you will see on their website, Swarovski makes great tripods for their scopes. They do not, however, make one that is as compact as the Vanguard, which is critical for your hunt.
When dealing with some of the weather and terrain you will be faced with in Alaska it is a great idea to carry a lens pen with you so that you can clean and clear your optics. There is nothing worse than being fully prepared to make the shot of a lifetime and not able to get the animal in your scope because it is dirty. A Leupold lens pen will cost you $8.99 and is a must have.
Pack
Eberlestock’s packs are at the top of their class in build, fit, and functionality. The Just One J34 pack is our recommendation for this hunt. Starting at 2300 cubic inches, this pack will expand to 4600. The J34 weighs just 6.14 pounds so it is something you will carry with ease all day. It also has an improved internal aluminum frame system that will support plenty of weight should you ever need to pack anything heavy. Other important items are a rain fly and hydration bladder. You can view this pack at http://www.eberlestock.com/J34%20Just%20One.htm.
Pack Retail: $279.99 Outdoor Connection Exclusive Price: $249.99

Hydration System Retail: $19.99 Outdoor Connection Exclusive Price: $17.99
Accessories
All too often, it is the little things that make the difference on a hunt like this. Our goal is to make sure that you are aware of all the accessories, tricks, and tips that we have learned though years of hunting around the world!
Shooting Sticks
The first accessory recommendation is something something that we’ve identified as being very important on our hunts for Dall Sheep and other species in Alaska – a set of shooting sticks. Our recommendation is the Vanguard B-62 bi-pod. This pod extends up to 62”, has a 360 degree rotating head, weighs less than 1.5lbs., and is built to stand up to everything you will put it through. In addition, it has removable rubber tips that expose a carbide tip so you can use it as a walking stick or to set up for a shot on slick ground. You can view this pod at http://www.vanguardworld.com/index.php/en/products/hunting-outdoor/detail-2-12-83-352.html
Retail: $49.99 Outdoor Connection Exclusive Price: $44.99
Flashlight
A good flashlight is a must on any hunt you are on. Our recommended brand is Sure Fire. Their lights stand up to everything and are extremely bright. The light we would use for this hunt is the 6P black. It has an all aluminum frame with a bright, 80 lumen, LED lamp for long life. You can view this light at http://www.surefire.com/6PDL You will not find a brighter, more durable light for the money.
Retail: $112.99 Outdoor Connection Exclusive Price: $89.99
Extra batteries are important to have of this trip. We recommend a bulk pack of surefire batteries. A bulk pack of the batteries you will need for the 6P surefire includes 12 batteries and costs $19.99.
Cap Light
We have found it useful to have a cap light for the evenings or pre-dawn mornings. This allows for your hands to be free to do work around camp, read, or whatever you choose. The light we recommend is a simple Browning Cap Light that clips on the brim of your hat. Your price on one of these is $8.09.
Dry Bags
We exclusively use and sell SealLine bags. They make a variety of bags for many different situations. We encourage you to take a look at this page http://cascadedesigns.com/SealLine to see what may work for your individual situation.
To give you some starting points:
We use the 70L boundary pack http://cascadedesigns.com/sealline/packs-and-duffles/boundary-pack/product when we need to pack large amounts of clothing or other items and keep them 100% dry. The comfortable backpack straps make this easy to carry around. This is more of a traveling type of pack.
Retail: $84.99 Outdoor Connection Exclusive Price: $76.49
We use the Storm Sacks http://cascadedesigns.com/sealline/dry-bags/storm-sack/product for keeping little important items protected from the elements. Extra pair of socks, extra shirt, extra gloves, matches, and food are all items you would put in this style of sack. These sacks are better suited to keep the items that cannot get wet absolutely dry when in the field. They’re light enough and small enough that you will easily carry them in your packs.
Retail: $9.99 Outdoor Connection Exclusive Price: $8.99
Again, these would be the two most useful packs to you based on our experience. The larger boundary pack is ideal for traveling or when you have to move large amount of gear and keep them dry. The smaller Storm Sacks are perfect for all those little things that can’t get wet. A couple of these wouldn’t be a bad idea at all. If you see more that may fit your individual needs they are available as well.
Compass/First Aid
No matter what you are doing outdoors it is smart to carry a compass with you. We use the Brunton compasses http://www.brunton.com/product.php?id=92. Your price on this specific one is $17.99. It is not only great for navigation but also handy in case of an emergency with the mirror on it.
A simple First Aid Kit can go a long way should you encounter some problems while out in the field. We always carry waterproof kits so that we can leave it in our pack and know that it will be ready should we need it. Your price on the one we carry is $14.99 and includes nearly everything you will ever need. The only thing not included in this kit is superglue, another item recommended by your outfitter. You will use this to fix cuts, tears, or anything else that breaks on your hunt. We can send you a 9oz. tube of this for $8.99.
Knife
If you are planning on helping your guide prepare an animal should you have success you will need the proper cutlery. A gutting and skinning knife would be the most useful to you. Our recommendation is the Browning Micarta Big Game knife. You can view this knife at http://www.browning.com/products/catalog/knives/detail.asp?value=049G&cat_id=322&type_id=642.
Retail: $109.99 Outdoor Connection Exclusive Price: $98.99
A knife sharpener is absolutely necessary as you are sure to dull your blades through the gutting, skinning, and caping process. We urge you to use one that has two grits, coarse and fine, so that you can fix a damaged edge. A DMT diamond stone works great for this and will pack lightly and easily. You can view this sharpener at http://www.dmtsharp.com/products/diafold.htm. Your price is $26.99.
Multi-Tool
Mike recommends carrying a muti-tool for this hunt. The tool we use and recommend is the Leatherman Wave. With 17 tools and a lifetime warranty you are sure to get your use out of this over time. You can view this tool at http://www.leatherman.com/products/product.asp?id=9&f=6&c=1.
Retail: $79.99 Outdoor Connection Exclusive Price: $69.99
Scent Control/Cleanliness
Cleanliness and scent control are important when spending many days out in the field. Here are a few items that have been useful to us on our hunts.
It is a good idea to carry some unscented deodorant. Robinson Outdoors makes a great product. http://www.robinsonoutdoors.com/shopping/Products/Anti-Perspirant-Underam-Deodorant__DEO2C.aspx. This will cost you $5.39.
Body Bath Towels are very useful when you don’t have time to clean up. http://www.robinsonoutdoors.com/shopping/Products/Body-Bath-Towels__BB.aspx. These are $6.29 each.
Personally, we carry the Dead Down Wind Scent Prevent Kit http://www.deaddownwind.com/store/product/scentprevent-kit-1020.cfm. This kit makes it possible to cover everything scent related. This kit costs $40.49.
Gun Case
The first accessory recommendation from your outfitter was a soft gun case for transportation once you arrive in Alaska – please don’t forget it! If you are in need of a soft gun case let me know and we can discuss some options. More importantly, to us, is a good hard gun case for airline travel. We recommend the Pelican 1750 Weapons case. We use Pelican cases for protecting a variety of goods; cameras, gps devices, spotting scopes, licenses. They are waterproof, crushproof, have pressure release valves, are airline approved, and come in a variety of sizes and colors. This also happens to be the case that Greg will be using. You can view this case at http://www.pelican.com/cases_detail.php?Case=1750.
Regular Retail: $299.99 Outdoor Connection Exclusive Price: $269.99
GPS
A GPS can prove to be an invaluable tool for hunters. We use them to mark points, save trails, mark camp, mark a down animal, check which direction you are heading, navigate, view terrain contours, and so much more. The handheld GPS that we use and recommend is the Delorme PN-40. The big benefit for you on this hunt is the topographical mapping system that can be downloaded with a simple map library subscription. This subscription is $29.99 and allows for unlimited downloads for one year. With this system you will be able to see where you are in relation to other land or water points. This will allow you to see “what is over the next ridge”. The other big benefit is safety related. The electronic compass and altimeter will give you direction even if a satellite signal is lost. We have used Delorme handheld’s for years and can honestly say that we have put them through some of the most difficult situations possible and know that they will hold up.
You can view this GPS at http://shop.delorme.com/OA_HTML/DELibeCCtdItemDetail.jsp?item=29387§ion=10560
Retail: $389.99 Outdoor Connection Exclusive Price: $359.99
A great way to protect your handheld is with a Pelican Case. The 1040 case is the one that will fit this unit. http://www.pelican.com/cases_detail.php?Case=1040. Pelican products were new to us four years ago and our GPS’s could have used them long ago!
Regular Retail: $22.99 Outdoor Connection Exclusive Price: $20.69
Sleeping Bag/Pad
We use and recommend the ALPS Desert Pine Sleeping Bag. You can view this bag at http://www.alpsmountaineering.com/ALPSMountaineeringDesertPine.htm. This page will also help determine which size bag you need. A mummy bag is recommended because it is more packable and will keep you warmer. Mike recommends a bag rated to -20. Regular retail on this bag is $109.99. Your Outdoor Connection Exclusive price is $89.99. We will send this bag with a compression sack as you will want to keep it as compact as possible for traveling.
The key to a good nights sleep lies in the pad you use under your bag. Again, we recommend the Alps Pad. The lightweight pad will be most packable and is therefore recommended. You can view this pad at http://www.alpsmountaineering.com/ALPSMountaineeringLightweightAirPad.htm. Please advise as to what size you’ll need as that will dictate price. Rest assured, you’ll be receiving you OC exclusive price on this item as well!
We also recommend a camp pillow for your comfort. The small pillow that is made by Alps will work well for this hunt. You can view this item at http://www.alpsmountaineering.com/ALPSMountaineeringAccessories.htm.
Regular Retail is $8.99 Outdoor Connection Exclusive Price: $6.99
Extras
Gutting gloves are pretty handy to have once you make a kill – they will keep you clean and dry through the whole process. Shoulder length gloves worn underneath and wrist length surgical glove work the best. A pack with both sets in it is $1.79. We would carry at least two sets with.
Orange tracking tape is handy for several reasons. Most commonly it is used for following a blood trail. It can also be used to mark certain points for reference. For instance, if you shoot an animal and begin the process of looking for a trail in cover it is often helpful to look back at where you shot from. With some orange trail tape on a rock or bush there will be no question as to where you started from. One 150 foot roll will cost you $2.24.
Your outfitter recommends a cleaning kit for your weapon. We recommend Remington gun wipes as they are lighter and more packable. You can view these at http://www.streiffsstore.com/servlet/-strse-7933/REM-OIL-WIPES-18471/Detail. Your price is 34 cents per package – there is one wipe per package.
Chap Stick is recommended for this hunt. We have something you’ll like better: Burt’s Bees. One stick of this will last your entire trip and your skin will thank you. You can view this product at http://www.burtsbees.com/natural-products/lips-lip-care/. Your price is $2.99.
It is our hope that you find the information we provided to be useful. Once you have had a chance to look this over and do some research of your own we would be happy to answer any questions that you may have. Please remember, there are many choices in the categories we have discussed. The aforementioned products are our recommendations based on the joint effort of Streiff Sporting Goods and our customers, Outdoor Connection agents and clients who have been to this destination, Mike at Hidden Alaska, and our supporting manufacturers.
Again, thank you for the opportunity to help you prepare for this exciting hunt! Feel free to contact me at Streiff Sporting Goods for any of your product needs or questions. I can be reached at (800)817-2590 or at nickm@streiffs.com.
