Nothing to do with Alaska, but the best advice I ever got was this: "your best friend is money in your pocket."

I thought I would mention this one since most advice relating to Alaska have already been mentioned.

A had a couple -

Don't be the first person to drive across the Chena ice bridge in the winter

The brakes are not your friends - (radio station traffic report in the winter in Fairbanks)

Be cautious of letting a dog run off leash on a trail. - I never had a dog here in Alaska, however I did some mountain bike riding on the backside of Eielson in the summers back in the 90's. On one occasion, another rider had his dog with him and it took of to chase a moose. Of coarse, the moose turned and charged the dog, which got scared and headed right for its owner. I learned two important lessons: a moose can travel much faster than I can ride up hill. When it is important, you can scramble up a tree pretty darn quick.
