20 days and counting for Alaska bear

[amicus]

Im leaving for Alaska on 8/28 for my first ever Black bear hunt. If I get lucky this will be my first trad kill. I ve been working out like a dog and practicing everyday. I think I have all my equiptment ready. Im using a Bob lee recurve 66# at 30 and pulling 29" so im right at 63#. Beman ics 400s cut 29 3/4 using 125 g Zwicky with 125 g inserts. Total arrow weight around 560. Fletched with 4x4" feathers. They shoot very well. I bare shafted first to get this weight and lenght. For rain gear I have Red Head storm x or something like that. Im not totaly happy with that but its what I could afford for now. Comfortable waterproof boots 2pairs, rubber boots, chest waders. Some wool pants and shirts. Scent loc suit,(I know I ve read all the stuff about how it really dosent work but its good durable stuff). Thermacell. A couple of sharp knives.What do think? Do I need anything else? We will be sleeping on a boat and food and water will be furnished. This is spot and stalk hunt. I belive its unit 6. Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Gilbert
