That’s a lot of gear. Each sport (pack-rafting, fishing) add its own assortment.
I’d bring an extra smart-water bottlecap. I sometimes bring yet another one that I’ve modified to a bidet or shower head. A lot of functionality for another 2 grams.
Do the shell mitts function as mosquito proof while fishing? Especially while immobilized while fishing, you want to have the option of being completely covered. So far, it’s not shaping up to be a bad year (good and bad years are consistent across surprising large areas of Alaska). The head net will combine nicely with the Seattle Sombrero to keep the netting off your face. If the “fishing shirt” has a collar, then you’ve got solid neck-up coverage. I like a 100% nylon (tough, quick drying) collared, button-down with large pockets fishing shirt for 1) fishing but also 2) most Alaskan hiking trips due to the bush-whacking and the shirt’s ability, unlike most layers, to not get shredded.
Hopefully the over-sized first-aid kit and kitchen set up is spread among group members. How many people?
Pot scrubbers? Be well prepared to thoroughly wash dishes on a 20-day fishing trip in bear country.
I didn’t see an anti-fungal topical lotion. That can be important on a long wet trip. Check creases and between toes carefully and often so you can treat a trouble spot while it’s just a bit itchy but before it becomes raw and open. I’ve got one spot between my toes on one foot (but not the other) that for any trip over 2 days, I treat in advance and thereby avoid a problem instead of having to respond to one.
Clothes washing? I bring real laundry detergent from home and use a pinch in a trash compactor bag, dry sack or bear canister to get clothes far cleaner than soap ever can. Roger and I agree that if you dispose of the detergent wash water in the warmest (south-facing) organic soils you can find decent far from surface waters, it’ll be fine.
Do have any tarp that can be strung between trees/bushes for a place to stand up, out of the rain? Standing up, out of the rain can be a real luxury after a few drizzly days.
Specifically targeting Chinook (king) salmon? That’s an odd pursuit that far from refrigeration or other processing options. They’re too large to eat in one dinner and the next morning. A silver or red is a lot more right-sized for a group, silvers are a lot of fun to have on the line, and reds are the best tasting (IMO, but some do prefer the fatter meat of Kings).
I suggest you be prepared to cook fish in a lot of different ways. I often just splash some soy sauce (someone must make a dehydrated soy sauce) . Or soy and garlic powder. Lots of people haven’t be confident when I use Lavender Gourmet Seasoning (aliikulalavender.com) as it sounds kind of fru-fru, but they all like it as a rub on salmon. I’d bring a titanium grill and get a bed of coals going so you can grill more fish and boil/fry less of of it. The smallest bit of oil applied to the grill prior to use will make clean up much easier. Milk powder plus other ingredients for a fish chowder or bisque?
