  1. We invested in a pair of nikon 10x50 waterproof trailblazer binoculars on our first trip to Alaska. when we went to traitors cove when the salmon were running in early september, I was using my binoculars. There were 22 bears that came to the river to get salmon for either themselves or their bear cubs. The highlight of my trip was watching these bears get the salmon and take the salmon back to the cubs (hiding in the bushes). It was so close up with my binoc's. However, I about tossed my cookies when the mama bear decided to eat the salmon right there....within 2 feet from me, (viewing through my binoculars). But still binoculars brought everything within touching reach! Going end of May to alaska for the fourth time and the binoculars were the first thing I packed!

  2. I use the large gallon size freezer, zip lock bags for my camera. Trick is.... put your really good camera in the ziplock bag... Then cut a hole, a little smaller than the lens size when open.

    Then put camera in it. Use another bag zip loc freezer bag that you keep camera and other zip loc bag completely zipped up.viola... no moisture

    Have done this in Alaska twice and Christmas markets in the freezing rain in Germany 5 times... Works well.

    Doesn't look beautiful but it works well.

  3. I am sailing in 6 days and I am not sure of which non alcohol package to get. I drink Cafe Latte's... no booze no extra anything. Will a basic non alcoholic package suffice? Please advise asap as I leave.... DAY AFTER TOMORROW... I HAVE WAITED A long time to say that! Yippee!

    Thanks in advance!
