Solar Jet Boats for Real Alaska
DIY Fishing • Hunting • River Access
Getting out here is the reset. No bars, no notifications, just the wild — that’s the whole point for most people, and I get it.
Running an outdoor business out here changes the math. When boats are on the water and customers are hundreds of miles from the nearest tower, “no service” stops being peace and starts being a problem.
Starbatt + Starlink Mini is what made it work for us. We keep AKventure running from camp — bookings, calls, dispatch — and just as important, our renters have a real line of communication when something goes sideways. Up on the Slope, comms are safety gear. Same as a PFD.
If you’re running a business, a camp, or just want a way to reach somebody when it matters:

Left Deadhorse 0931 Thursday. Pulled into Wasilla 1936 Saturday.
58 hours. About 800 miles.
Eight hours sitting at road construction, noon to 8pm. While we sat we found an electric brake locked up on the 36’ gooseneck and a hub hot enough to cook on. Packed it with grease, got it spinning free. Sent Brett Poos three hours back to Deadhorse for bearings in case it let go anyway.
Got past the construction. Rear dually had a hole in it. Patch wouldn’t hold. Slept in the trailer at a pullout by the DOT building and waited on daylight.
Morning: DOT let us use their tire machine. Broke the bead, tried an internal patch. Didn’t hold. Leased truck came with no spare. So we drove to Deadhorse. Again. A customer got on the phone and found us a tire — shop wouldn’t mount it, so we hauled it back to the DOT yard and swapped it ourselves.
An hour down the road Brett radios that he thinks his axle is about to fall out. He was right. The leaf spring mount had torn off the frame. Pulled out a tarp, a generator, and a welder and put it back on.
Fairbanks at 0500. Slept till 0945. Father-in-law met us so we didn’t have to run the leased truck down to Wasilla and back to Fairbanks.
Home at 1936.
Thanks to the AK DOT crew, and every one else who helped us along our journey.
The black Chevy is still in Fairbanks getting a new engine. Alaska charges a toll. We’re still paying it.
We are cleaning things and resetting for the next two days before boats start to go out for moose season.

Upper Sag River (past confluence of Atigun River and Sag).
Experience level required: experienced. White water for a majority of the ride. Going up is always much easier than going down. 60 miles round trip. 12 gallons of gas.
We reached the waterfall in the video and couldn’t pass it. The water would have pushed us into the sharp rock wall, and we didn’t feel like swimming or patching a boat 30 miles from the truck, especially with the rapids on the way down.
Tired of hiking the tundra?!
Boats still available for pickup in Deadhorse, AK. $700/ day. Call, text, email, or come see us by the Prudhoe general store. Tents and camp gear as well.

Midnight sun in the Arctic is what we live for…..
…That and hunting/fishing
Ran the Sag to the Ribdon last night. Saw 4 bears, 8 muskox.
The first three miles down the sag were EXPERIENCED level rapids. Large rocks, white water. Once on the Ribdon, it was clear water and mostly easy boating. Several large rocks to watch for. When water levels go down, it will become very difficult.
We halfway ripped off a polyfoot on this outing and we are very experienced.

Made it to Prudhoe. Lost a truck doing it.
Black Chevy 3500 blew an engine on the drive up. Everything else is here — boats inflated, gear staged, gravel pad between Brooks Camp and the Prudhoe general store.
Alaska charges a toll. We paid it. Come grab a boat. 🧊
