My wife and I live year-round in Talkeetna, Alaska. I run a fly fishing guiding business in addition to building and renting wilderness cabins. Most of my offseason is working as a Journalist for numerous national periodicals and websites. If you're in Alaska, please pick up one of my books, Tales of the Alaska State Troopers, from Skyhorse Publishing.
Named after Mnt Susitna, we affectionally call her Sue.

Peter was great from start to finish, he was very communicative and even picked us up at the airport. We loved his Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van, it was reliable, roomy, convenient and to be honest, awesome! My son and I had an unbelievable time exploring Alaska for 8 days, a trip of a lifetime! I highly recommend Peter and Outdoorsy.

The van was great and working with Peter was very easy. The bed was really comfortable and the van was easy to drive (even with one hand, as I had a broken arm).

The van was set up amazingly - all pots, pans, tea and coffee kettles, silverware, knives, plates, etc. I over-packed not realizing everything would be so well set up and not needing to use much of my own backpacking kit. The bed and blankets were perfection - never needing to use the heater despite the 20-degree outside temperatures. The van handled perfectly and we had the best 3-day weekend with perfect weather, perfect van handling and reliability. Definitely made me love Alaska even more than I already do.

We had a wonderful time in Peter’s van. It had everything we needed for a trip up north to Denali and across the Denali Highway. The interior is gorgeous and all the appliances were very reliable. We loved being able to stop off anywhere and sleep in relative luxury. Peter was great to work with, and quick to respond to any questions (although we hardly had any).

We had an awesome trip through Denali, up to Fairbanks and down the Glenn Hwy. The van performed superbly on all levels and its owner is the genuine article— a true Alaskan, super knowledgeable and very helpful gentleman.

Cannot express how pleased we were with this rental. Peter was very easy to communicate with and flexible. Delivered the van to us which made our first day seamless. The van is perfect and outfitted with everything you could need. From tin foil, salt/pepper to a French press we didn’t have to buy a thing but food. The van system is very well thought out. The fridge is solar powered, there are outlets throughout and a ceiling fan to ensure fresh air when sleeping the bed is a queen and very comfortable. He also provided additional sleeping bags, sheets and towels just in case. The van is large but very easy to drive and maneuver. We had a great time driving from anchorage to Denali down to the kenai peninsula.
