Your dog should be no issue as long as you have vaccination papers, as I understand it.

No flick knives, but in my experience that is pretty well understood to only mean knives that have a spring load to unfold, never known anyone to have an issue with a folding knife. Hand guns are quite common here, but lots of rules as to when/where that make it pretty useless for your purposes. Can't really transport it with you. You can mail them ahead to Alaska if you want though, no issue.

You will go through some impressive land on that trip, and the territories are harsh but beautiful. Hope you make it, you will enjoy it for sure.

If you are passing through Calgary I'd love to buy you a beer, or put you up for a night if you need. And if your truck gives you any issues in this area I have a lift and tooling you are welcome to at home.
