Health and Safety
In South Central, it's important to stick to basic principles of Alaska safety: hiring a guide for anything outside your comfort zone might just prove to be the most important investment you've ever made. Follow bear safety rules; especially down the Kenai Peninsula, know that moose can be the more-dangerous encounter, so use extreme respect.
