The camps are polar tents or cabins. They are warm, clean, but have no modern convenience (running water, flush toilets etc.). The tents/cabins are equipped with stove and cots. The electricity is supplied by generating sets. There are separate tents for sleeping, dining and for showers. Every camp has an interpreter and cook.
Hunting
Bears are hunted as they are emerging from dens. The hunter and the guide will travel a great distance by snowmobile looking for tracks of a large bear. Your guide drives a snowmobile and you sit in the sledge behind. It is very important to wear a very warm hunting outfit. Once the tracks are cut, the hunter will follow the bear. When a bear is spotted you will stalk the bear on foot, snow shoes or skis. After May 10th the hunting area will have less snow and we use camps at the Okhotsk seacoast and hunting is more on foot and with use of a boat for spotting. Shooting distance on average is 100-150 m. Hunts are conducted on boats, foot, spotting and stalking, observing active Salmon streams, berry patches and feeding areas. Horse back hunts are available in some of the areas.
