In the fall of ’83, I worked for Rich Guthrie both in the Brooks Range guiding sheep, moose and caribou hunters and on the Alaska Peninsula guiding both caribou and brown bear hunters.  When I was in the Brooks, Rich asked me how much experience I had with small boats.  I told him that small boats were about all that I had experience with.  I told him about using Folboats and a couple of small inflatables in rivers, lakes and even the ocean.  He said that was great because he had bought a 15’ Grumman Freighter square stern canoe that he needed to get from Cold Bay to the Joshua Green River.
