consideration of being allowed to use the facilities and services offered at
Chelatna Lake Lodge (including, but not limited to; the lodge, boats, vehicles

or anyone else who might make a claim on my behalf, that I will not bring any
lawsuit, or make any claim, against Chelatna Lake Lodge, LLC (or its
members, owners, employees, agents, or anyone else acting on its behalf) and
will waive and release any and all claims of liability for death, illness, personal
injury, or property damage of any kind or nature whatsoever arising out of, or
occurring during, my stay at Chelatna Lake Lodge, my flights to or from
Chelatna Lake Lodge, or my use of guiding services or participation in any
wildlife viewing, fishing , hiking, rafting, kayaking or other recreational
opportunities offered by or through Chelatna Lake Lodge. I fully understand
that the activities I will be participating in while at Lake Clark Lodge have
unavoidable inherent risks associated with them, including the risk of disease
caused by proximity to others. By signing below, I take full responsibility and
accept these risks willingly and with the knowledge that Chelatna Lake
Lodge does not have control over these risks. I understand that these risks
include but are not limited to walking in flowing water, unstable footing on
rocks, dealing with rapidly changing weather conditions, use of fishing
equipment (including hooks that can cause injury), entering areas that are

necessary proximity to others. I further understand that I will be in a remote
area and even while at the lodge itself that medical care may not be
immediately available and could take hours to arrive. I understand that severe
medical conditions may require a medevac flight from the area to the nearest
hospital, which may be in Anchorage. This transportation could take hours to
accomplish. I understand that I am participating in the fishing and outdoor
activities willingly and know of the risks associated with my participation in
fishing, hiking, boating, flying, wildlife viewing, and any other outdoor activity
