Survival gear requirements in Alaska - Firearm or no Firearm?

I may get a chance someday to cross a border, likely US/Canada but I don’t think I’ll get to Alaska anytime soon…. But I have heard that there are survival gear requirements that are different when you are in Alaska. Searching the FARs doesn’t produce any regulations about this. But there is a state specific law in Alaska that requires certain survival gear. From what I have uncovered, the law used to require a firearm but it was changed in 2007 to remove that requirement when it was updated. As near as I can tell the following is the current survival gear requirement.

Firearms have not been required since Sept. 27, 2001.
