Becoming an Alaskan Guide with Cole Kramer and Luke Gerig
Episode description
Hunting in Alaska is an adventure. The country is spectacularly rugged and remote, the animals are huge and often dangerous, and the weather alone can ground you for days. My Alaskan moose hunt was definitely an adventure, and I was able to share it with my talented guide, Cole Kramer and incredibly hard working packer, Luke Gerig. Both Cole and Luke grew up in flatter parts of the lower 48, but shared a desire from an early age to become an Alaskan Guide. Cole first came up to Alaska in 2002 and became a fully registered guide in 2006 with his business Kramer's Kodiak Guide Service. Luke is just starting out in his career as a packer, the first step to becoming a guide, and with his talent and work ethic, I expect he'll do great things. We sat down after a successful hunt and discussed what it really takes to be a guide in Alaska. Guiding in this country is no easy task. The knowledge and skills that you need are extensive, but not unattainable with some determination. According to these guys, no matter what age you are, if you’ve ever wanted to live this life, just go for it.
