Once or twice a year I pop over to Things to Luc at to see what Luc has been up to, and it never disappoints. I believe he works in GIS and trained as a geologist, so his Alaska wilderness trip reports are always well researched and well executed. His expository writing style hits the right spot with insights and details without being verbose. When things get hard he never indulges in self pity, and when things are going well it is conveyed with measured joy and appreciation. And he pulls off some awesome and creative trips. He makes videos of many of these trips in an aesthetic that I can relate to. I do most of my wanderings in the Kodiak Archipelago and it is cool to see the possibilities in other parts of Alaska.
I recommend his 3 featured trips from 2020. Read the trip report first and then scroll back to the top and watch the video, not the other way around.

His trip planning tools and other info are worth a browse as well.
