Hunting tools recommended by the Hunt Alaska team such as knives, holsters, coolers, and other essential gear that are indispensable for Alaskan hunting trips.
Skinner Sights Biothane Super Sling
Skinner Sights partnered with Andy Langlois of Andy’s Leather to make these gun slings. The Biothane Super Sling is designed to be used without “keepers” so there isn’t anything to slide or slip around. Redundant solid-brass Chicago screws are used on each end. These slings are adjustable for length, include steel GrovTec QD swivels, and are made in two colors (black or olive) in the USA.
Spyderco Stok Bowie
The Stok Bowie showcases a saber-ground, Bowie-style blade crafted from 8Cr13MoV stainless steel. Its full-tang handle features a refined ergonomic profile that ensures a comfortable, positive grip and superior control during detailed cutting chores. The handle’s shape is complemented by olive drab peel-ply-textured G-10 handle scales and a generous lanyard hole that allows the easy attachment of lanyards and fobs. To balance discreet carry and ready access, the Stok Bowie comes complete with a custom-molded, snap-fit Boltaron sheath with a G-Clip attachment. The G-Clip can be attached to either side of the symmetrical sheath to provide vertical, horizontal, or canted belt carry with the knife in either an edge-forward or edge-back orientation. It also works as a spring clip to carry the knife inside the waistband. A remarkable alternative to the traditional pocketknife, the Stok Bowie will have you rethinking your everyday carry choices.

Silencer Central BANISH Backcountry
The ultimate silencer for hunting in remote places, the BANISH Backcountry is a .30-caliber silencer that is rated for up to a .300 RUM and down. This 5.5-inch, lightweight silencer weighs just 7.8 ounces and packs some serious punch with 6 baffles that help drop the sound level down by 30 dB. It has a dramatic effect on felt recoil, too, and the reduced muzzle jump helps your accuracy. Silencer Central is the best place to buy any silencer. They have streamlined the process and walk you through all the paperwork to get your silencer delivered right to your door.
Black Hills Ammunition 300 PRC 212 Gr. ELD-X
Black Hills is now loading 300 PRC with the Hornady 212 ELD-X hunting bullet. The 212-grain ELD-X is designed to provide an optimum combination of accuracy and game-stopping performance. The bullet has a muzzle velocity of 2850 fps with 3824 ft-lb of energy, has a G1 ballistic coefficient of .663, and a G7 coefficient of .334. The newer 300 PRC design eliminated the unnecessary belt of the .300 Winchester Magnum and increased the body diameter. The result is smoother feeding, increased powder capacity, and an increase of around 150 fps in velocity for improved terminal performance.
