Packing Nikon Gear for Alaska What Makes the Cut
Packing camera gear for Alaska sounds simple—until every lens in the cabinet starts making a case for coming along.
In this video, I’m narrowing the setup down to what I think will actually be useful for wildlife, distant landscapes, walking around town, unpredictable weather, and long days on the move. I’ll also explain what I’m leaving home, how I’m organizing the bag, and the camera settings I’m preparing before the trip.
The goal is not to bring everything. It’s to bring the right gear and avoid turning an Alaska trip into a mobile camera store.
