I figured I would hear rifle - I am very comfortable with shooting and am looking to borrow a rifle or purchase one, leaning towards the Remington 770 in 30-06. I am not going with an outfitter, but we are staying in a lodge at Baker Point, Alaska and renting a boat to go to the island for the hunt. I have been researching the following and will be purchasing soon:

-Rubber boots
-gore-tex jacket and pants (miltary surplus)
-rifle
-backpacks
-Satellite phone
-knife

I will be putting together a survival kit including firestarting equipment, first-aid kit, compass, and bug spray.

I have my hunting license purchased and per Alaska website hunter's safety course is not required.

Anything else I might need or should think about?
