Ok, just awoken after a troubled two hours sleep, tossing (all I get nowadays) and turning, wondering about the plot. Now we know it's loosely structured on reality ( you live an exciting life) and is not embellished, but as it is a novel perhaps you should. As you are almost there how about making you a James Bond type? working for the State Troopers undercover (yes I know you're in a tent) we'll need the following :-
A plot, change the gold to Uranium wanted to build an illegal bomb destined to blow up Anchorage and cost hundreds of dollars in damages
A baddy, some evil bastard who bunny hops, camps and dependant on your game kills his victims with a Smaw or a knife, the cowardly swine.
A love interest, necessary for the younger audience who still believe, we have already established you are straight? please confirm as doubt still lingers, so James is out then? In that case we'll have you fall in love with a wounded Grizzly you rescue from 5 yard shot from Angu5 that misses all vital organs, he can escape with GG on holiday yet again. I think I have found a bear that fits the part when we issue the film rights, but in the romantic scenes she's made me promise you'll brush your teeth and wear deodarant.
Gadgets, a tricked up snowmobile? robotic huskies? exploding igloos? bald eagle drones with rockets? suicide salmon? let your imagination go wild, oh! it already has.
