I read Pat Ferguson's Gone Huntin books 10 years ago and I've been wanting to take my family on a fly in adventure ever since. Its finally time and I've booked a plane out of Watson Lake for August 20-30. The crew will consist of me, my wife and our four kids. The Kids are ages 6, 7, 10 and 11. I've picked a lake that is fairly high in elevation to avoid some bugs (if thats possible) and looks to have decent terrain for the kids to hike and glass. I have no idea what we will find for animals but it would be cool to come home with something to complete the experience. I picked up a light weight 12 man tipi and wood stove but I'm a little concerned there wont be enough wood to burn. We are planning on bringing a two burner propane stove with a grill for cooking breakfast and dinners and I will probably bring some freeze dried food to cook on the trail just in case. We will have a small inflatable boat to help get around and and gov data shows some fish to play with. I've been on many hunting trips and one fly in backpack trip but this will be the first remote trip with the kids. Trying to cover all of my bases with planning and am wondering if anyone out there can provide any suggestions or tips that I could use to help make sure this is a memorable trip in a good way. Thanks
