I plan to watch the bridges and culverts if I have to cross any. A few years ago I was up past fort nelson spring bear hunting and one week the snow was slowly melting away and 5 days later I went back there to find the dirt road before and after this one bridge had washed away. If I had stayed in there for a week I would have been stuck, good thing I had to work during the middle of the week. I'll bring a chainsaw this time around in case I have to add on to a bridge. Besides that possible issue again, I will be prepaired to do more walking with my frame pack than I anticipate. I might have my bro-in-law come up to be my back up so I might have the luxury of a travel trailer for the odd night between areas picked.

Turning out to be a lot like last yr.
If you're heading out anytime before the end of the season, make sure you have access to an ATV on tracks...or be prepared for a serious snowshoe workout.

I have tracks on my UTV. From my experience with them so far, I need to pack a lot of extra fuel.

Ive learned to expect the unexpected so i try to take everything + the kitchen sink. Timeing is the biggest issue so depending on pack it could move two weeks either way.
