Luggage And Bags: A backpack works well. It really depends on how you like to travel. A waterproof bag is advisable as Kodiak gets its share of rain!

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Everything should be waterproof or at least water resistant.


Photo Equipment: Film is available at many stores. If you shoot rare film you better bring it with you though. Even Slide film is hard to come by here.


Miscellaneous: There are many opportunities for camping in Kodiak. There are 3 State Parks..Fort Abercrombie $8-$10 p/night..Buskin River State Park $8-$10 p/night and Pashagahsak State Park...Free. Pashagshak is about 40 miles from downtown. Plus there are so many places to go backcountry camping that are free. Keep a clean campsite. Don't attract bears!! You don't want them visiting while your sleeping!! Bears love a free meal.
