Hey /out/. Hope your well.

So I'm here in Alaska getting ready to commute to Fairbanks for the northern lights.

But I was recently informed that the Stampede Trail (where the bus from Into the Wild is at) is kinda by there.

Any of you guys try it before? I want to do it but I'm a bit concerned about bears and shit.

If so, any supplies you guys could recommended? I'm thinking I'll definitely need a gun to rent. I'm fine with the distance.
