    Any experience with The Upland Institute training series?

    I got the Upland Institute during a sale. It's pretty good. If you listen to Hunting Dog Podcast you can find a lot of episodes with Justin and get a pretty good idea of his philosophy. I mix it in what what I'm learning through NAVHDA and have a great young hunting dog that will hopefully...

    Your first centerfire rifle

    A partially sporterized P-17 Enfield in 30-06 oof the used rack for $100. Put a 3x9 Tasco order from Sears on top. Heavy as a boat anchor but very accurate (the previous owner who had started the conversion had added a timney trigger).

    Turkey vest

    I double duty my Final Rise upland vest. He sells a lot of turkey options accessories but I'm just using it stock. Not camo just the tan version. Good luck!

    Alpha 200 vs alpha 300

    In addition to the above the screen is better. If i had a 200 I wouldn't upgrade but if buying new I'd get the 300. For you I'd say it depends on how good a deal the used 200 is.

    Favorite bird to hunt

    Sharpies and Huns, mainly due to the wide open country and letting the dogs run big.

    Elk and multiple shots

    Round balls have killed elk for over 300 years. They certainly are more range limited than a sabot or other modern bullet, but some would argue that's one of the main points of having a muzzleloader season. If I was to conjecture I could make just as good of one guessing it's folks running...

    Chamber sealers

    It doesn't have the best reviews, and is much lighter than my LEM (also purchased from Costco several years ago). Much lighter would be super (they are typically extremely heavy) provided it works. Like you said, with Costco's policies you could pretty risk free get it and put it through the...

    Bear Grease

    Yeah I'd guess it was related to the bear's diet and/or condition. My limited experience is with fall berry bears. Pretty much no smell or if there is, just a very faint fresh smell - nothing off in any way. Very much recommend trying to anyone hunting black bear!

    Bear Grease

    Yes. Don't remember where all I researched but the idea is in the oven it's easier to get a very even low heat to slowly render and avoid any cooked taste. Works great. I'm no expert but be very meticulous is trimming fat of any meat peices and go low and slow.

    Bear Grease

    Easy to render. Super for all sorts of things. Best for roux.

    Lightest & smallest stove for extreme cold?

    The MSR xgk "might" pack smaller than a whisperlite at the cost of a few ounces? I know my dragonfly is much bulkier than my whisperlite fwiw.

    Lightest & smallest stove for extreme cold?

    I'll start with I'm not up to speed on what all is available in canister fuels these days that might work well in sub-zero. I myself go with traditional white gas and my whisper lite international when it's cold.

    1p and 2p tents

    I guess I stand corrected. I should have looked closer at my mid2.

    1p and 2p tents

    I have a Durston midx2 solid. Really like it. Doesn't go fly only, but as above mentioned, if I go floorless I go big. Not familiar with the others but am sure all are great (have an 8 man SO tipi that gets the most use). But on paper comparing the Durston 1xmid solid to the owlee, the...
