On this episode we talk about setting up an Alaska Brown Bear Photography trip. We talk about the different criteria to consider for different fitness levels, costs, and experience you would like to have. We get into lens choices, what to bring, and what to expect. And most important of all I discuss the mistakes and things I wish I had done better on my last trip to Katmai National Park and Preserve.
