Need advice for driving Prius to Alaska, please.

I like it. Humor and an adventure. I'm sure you will have the time if your life and find memories. Hopefully your butt will not be so saddle sore

 

It's not always easy to tell the skeeters from the bears, they're about the same size.

 

Play dead if a Bear seems interested a park ranger exclaimed to a group. One man asked how you do that and his wife said just pretend it's Saturday night and your in bed.

 

Whatever happens, I sense you should film it.
Then release the whole adventure in installments on the internet under the title: Hybrid Alaska: Northern Ex-Poser.

I'll watch and leave caustic comments.

 

I've used one of the Aussie cork hats. They won't work in Alaska, since all the mosquitoes have to do is bat the corks out of the way.
All kidding aside, the mosquito netting might help you when you're knocking around camp. You said that you were going to sleep in the G3, but you're not going to stay in the G3 all of the time.
If there's room in the Prius you may want to pack a large hunk of mosquito netting, or maybe one of those screen shelters we used to use as a kid. No-see-ums (ariel-dantes) weren't a problem the last time I was in the last frontier, but I'll have to defer to a [sic] native to answer that one.
Corolla rims are a direct bolt-on for the G3, and you can probably get one on eBay fairly cheap. I'd probably consider a hitch receiver and carrier whether or not the corolla rim will fit in the spare tire wheel well for extra crap that won't fit in the people compartment.
Take an inverter.
Bob Wilson did a long piece about permanently installing a 1000 watt unit but you'll probably easily get by with a much smaller unit......maybe in the 500 watt range. A good portable radio (wx band included) and about 5 more LED flashlights than you're already planning on bringing will also prove helpful. They make hand crank units that the preppers always buy, but that may be overkill. You're camping - not settling.
You keep saying 'we' so I'd also include EXTRA baby wipes (sanitary safe if you can find them.)
Water.
The gravel on those roads is pretty fierce, which is why when people talk about spare tires they don't use the singular. A coolant puncture, while not exactly commonplace isn't unheard of either, and as I said before you may have to help somebody else out who is not as well prepared (law of the sea also applies here.)
Besides....you can always drink it. If you find yourself running out of room they make collapsible water containers.

 

Maybe it's me but California Scenic Route 1 and a few resort stops sounds much more appealing.

Route 1 beckons your name

California State Route 1 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

You can only drive about 15 miles into Denali without a special permit. You have to leave your car at the park entrance and take the courtesy buses to go camping or to get to the visitor facilities within the park.

 

You don't have to haul everything with you! They do have stores in Canada and in Alaska. You can buy as you go!

 

How does that work for Canada?

 

Fuzzy lives in Washington State and says it can't be done legally. I already retracted the statement

 

How about a shotgun? 00 buckshot and rifled slugs should work for bears and a shotgun may be OK in Canada.

 

Well unless you happen to win the lottery... my lovely wife and I did in 98 and drove all the way back to Wonder Lake and caught a few trout. The road was actually pretty good and the sites incredible.

 

I see that lottery applications for next year have to be sent in between September 13 - 16, 2013 - just over a week away.

 

I just happened to come across a photo of that day/drive... fish on!

 

Not raining!
