An autograph book for Santa's autograph. A satellite cell phone, lots of things to keep warm and maybe have a two-story igloo with plasma screen tv, surround sound and some DVD movies delivered before I get there. And a Porsche C4S with snow chains.

I have a friend who flies up in that part of the world. If you are serious let me know and can get you two in touch, otherwise you really do not want to go there. Have been in that area but not out in the bush in years and its really desolate out there.
Also, just watched a Discovery Channel program here in London about diamond mining. Part of its done way up North, in the boonies past Yellowknife. If you are really looking at it might be a good idea to get a copy of this program as it tells a lot about the area up there. Its not for the faint of heart. As a pilot if I fly up there I am required to carry a survival kit and weapon. As Charles mentioned, it would not be a .22 rifle. A .44 S&W pistol backing up a rifle at least .375 or larger would be my minimum. Have fun...

the standard comment/joke made about .44 magnums by anyone who has encountered bears is.........."what kind of front sight do you have on that .44? the owner states an iron sight,why? well you should file it off! owner asks why? SO IT WONT HURT SO BAD WHEN THE BEAR SHOVES IT UP YOUR ARSE! seriously ask anyone who deals w/these monsters! one thread mentioned shotgun. excellent choice! as per park service. 1st round #6shot to blind them, next 2 rounds triple odd buck, next rounds 3"magnum SABOTS! personnal favorite HK BENELLI 12 gauge. worlds fastest semi-auto shotgun. lightweight effective close in work. but ill be damned if i want close up play time ever w/shotgun or pistol. anything above .375 H&H. will hurt like hell shooting on bench(practice alot-1x-6 power scope w/iron sites-NO BIGGER), but when the s&*# goes down you will not feel a thing except your heart ready to jump out of your chest from fright! bear attacks are like train wrecks............they aint good! and an added tip..........DO NOT SHOOT THEM IN THE HEAD! extremely thick skulls that can and have deflected large caliber guns with drastic results(very pissed off bear) chest area first, legs second,chest again! you want the bear down, NOT STILL RUNNING!

Thats where I am going! I fly into Yellowknife then I take a charter about 200 klicks north. I will be at the Diamond mines for a few days. I will be sleeping in the bunk house with the other miners. Thank God I only require 3 hours sleep a night - and for those 3 hours I will sleep with one eye open!

Mike,
Let me contact Louis and see where he is working this month. When are you going? You will probably be taking a helo but it could be a bushplane depending on how rugged it is. Season up there is just about 3-4 months long due to the permafrost. It gets really frigging cold and there is nothing to stop the wind. Take mosquito repellant with DEET in it. They are not too big just yet but well worth having. Long sleeve shirts, sweaters, warm boots a very good Gore Tex jacket will be your friend. Here is the program I watched last night. Its from Discovery in England but if you have a week or two you might try to get a copy. It was a very good watch and had quite a bit about the area, people and operations where you are going. http://www.discoverychannel.co.uk/machines_and_engineering/building_the_biggest/diamond_hunters/index.shtml Take lots of pictures! Joe A
