    Refillable 1# propane bottles/kit?

    I have a couple. They work just fine. I had to buy a tool to fill them, but it wasn't terribly expensive and it's been worth it for me. I'm happy to go away from disposable propane bottles. The brand I bought is Flame King.

    Alpaca Hoodies

    I was looking for an alternative to my down puffies that I could wear as an insulating layer under a rain shell. I bought a very warm and fairly light alpaca hooded sweater new off of ebay for about $55. Not quite as light as synthetic fleece, but not much heavier, and much warmer. It's made by...

    How’s your fuel prices

    I just filled up at the Costco in Santa Rosa CA (north of SF bay). $4.90/gal. On the corner near my house it's $5.49 if you pay cash.

    Real time satellite imaging

    This is the one. Satellite images updated daily. Suitable for determining snow extent. Not good enough resolution for escouting, though. https://worldview.earthdata.nasa.gov/

    Who else is running an AirBnb property?

    My wife and I have a one bedroom apartment above our detached garage that we rent to traveling nurses. The term is usually 14 weeks. We like it because we can still have it open to family to visit around the holidays if we time the rentals right, we don't have the headache and fees associated...

    Best Insoles?

    I used to use superfeet insoles and finally gave them up because they just didn't work for me. I use wool felt insoles now. They provide more cushion and mold to the shape of my feet. Something to consider.

    Best Battery Bank under 1lb

    I agree with the 2 Nitecore 10k's. They are the lightest and lighter than the Nitecore 20k. Back when I bought my 10k I did some research and found the Nitecore 10k had the best energy/weight rating and also had the most useable energy. (Just because a power bank is rated 10k doesn't mean...

    Did CA Fish & Wildlife just betray hunters

    What keeps you from hunting OTC California?

    It's pronounced COvelo, not coVELo.

    What keeps you from hunting OTC California?

    That's my hometown. Covelo has always been crazy, but also populated by a lot of good people (and others). It's not near as bad as the reputation. Having said that, I think hunters should steer clear of the covelo district of the MNF. Nothing but lions, tweakers, and bears (oh my!). Better to...

    What keeps you from hunting OTC California?

    Not if they used common sense. Don't wander onto private. The green rush is over. There is no money in growing pot anymore so those people are gone. Just stay off the tweakers' properties and you should be fine.

    Ticks - Blacktail in CA and PNW

    Permitherin is effective and less toxic than DEET. It does require preparation ahead of time. I find the most ticks in grasslands, but anywhere deer frequent is likely to have higher concentrations.
