    Elk rifle in bear country

    The rifle is a pretty good first choice if you are out and about... and spray can be as well depending on the details. But both are really unwieldy in the dark in a tent. That's where the pistol comes in.

    Birthday Shoot

    One we did at a Project Appleseed event a few years back is to divide into teams, and then each team works together to shoot a stick/slat/plank in two. Kinda fun because it you're working in a team together with other folks (but also competing). Helps include folks of different abilities...

    CO National Forests and Accessing Via Roads/Trails

    They certainly could be.... sometimes the high country gets hit with an early-season dump. Otherwise, as others have said, check the various resources on gates and access. I carry bolt cutters in my truck and have cut at least one illegal chain/padlock off a gate!

    Beaver, Utah - Things to Do

    Cedar Breaks National Monument is up in the hills at 9K' or 10K' so might be a bit cooler. It's got some nice overlooks and such. On the way you'll go right past Benson Creek Waterfalls which is a nice easy hike with water.

    Backcountry Hot Tub

    Back in my intemperate youth a bunch of us did a boundary waters/quetico canoe trip. It was rainy and cold and due to a series of unfortunate events, most folks had lost rain gear and tent rain flys. We decided to pull one of the aluminum canoes up onto a rock shelf, fill it with water, and...

    How does your job prepare you for the mountain?

    I typically work a desk job, but have been doing construction for the past year. I have definitely noticed better upper body strength with the manual labor... but I also have less time (and energy) to do the more targeted workouts I did when I worked a desk job. I live at 5K', so my normal...

    Why do rifle hunters use Camouflage ? The few times I’ve used a rifle I never wore camo of any kind.. seems silly.

    It makes the blaze orange stand out even more... so definitely a safety thing.

    Denver got hit with hail

    Drove through that last night on the way back from doing some work in Longmont and there was definitely some very poor driving on display... I mean, if you have your freakin' flashers on and you're going 20 miles per hour, GET OUT OF THE LEFT LANE!

    Have you moved out of state?

    Yep. Never regretted moving west. Always regretted moving east.

    Have you moved out of state?

    MI > OR > AK > VA > CT > NY > CO… Colorado has too many people for my taste. Alaska is my spiritual home, but my wife (who I met there) just couldn’t do the winters. CO is a good compromise… and beats the pants off the northeast!

    Fingers crossed for CO

    In celebration, I just lit the grill to toss on some elk burgers from the kill last fall... honestly some of the best-tasting meat I've ever had. Excited to have a shot at getting some more!
