yo paule.....
we will be limited in weight also, but, not quite as strict as a commercial outfitter - and - yes we'll need to get together and decide what will and what will not go - basically we'll take what is needed and not take anything that is not needed - we'll be up there for prox 7 days so we'll take about four days worth of food (mostly freeze dried stuff) our shelter, guns & ammo, and clothing - don't forget whatever we take in we must take out (except the food of course) PLUS the caribou
as far as Tad's, i know it very well - used to be my favorite places to go (actually went there three to four times per month) haven't been for quite a while now since i moved out to the southwest (about a forty mile drive one way) - and yes they do have a decent selection of wine - be happy to discuss meeting you out there
