    lightweight canvas hot tents

    I almost went with a SO Courthouse also a few years back but was already talking with Beau and he told me that he had used several of the Courthouse tents in his llama operation and they did not perform well-lots of wind slap, moisture issues, rain penetration on sides during storms etc. He was...

    lightweight canvas hot tents

    If you want to go bigger (i.e., with the longer poles) and you are packing with lllamas, you can easily split up the poles and top pack them. I pack the Continental setup on my llamas by putting canvas and fly in opposite panniers and poles on top on each side of the saddle. I add a little...

    Wilderness Ridge Llamas Tent

    I've had a Continental now going on its 3rd season and can't say enough about it. Talked a lot with Jonah and Beau before buying it-they put a lot of thought and changes into the final product. I was at Beau's place when the first prototype Continental arrived and helped him set it up right out...

    Recommended Wood Stove?

    Check out GStove of Norway. I believe they have a USA distributor. They are an incredibly well-built cylinder stove (welding is top-notch and they are very rugged), nearly air tight, and heat my 13x13 canvas tent very easily. You can get all kinds of accessories and they are quite reasonably...

    Cataracts

    Headed for the surgery myself. Like you, not quite there yet. My wife had both eyes done about a year ago and she now has full vision without need for any corrective lenses-a first for her since she was about 6 years old.

    Bow Hunters….

    Will hit 72 this year. Shooting my Reckoning Gen 2 36 just about every day at 64 lbs draw weight. It is definitely harder than it was a few years ago but I've incorporated resistance and warmup exercises that help a lot. Also, anything that strengthens the shoulder muscles helps. May switch to...

    Elk Hunting/ Family Camping Tent Suggestions?

    Check out Beau Baty's Divide series tents at Wilderness Ridge Trail Llamas. They are very high quality, made by Snowtrekker, with internal frame, lots of room, and lightweight (canvas for my 13x13 weighs in at 22 lbs). They are pricey but should last a lifetime like any wall tent with proper...

    First hunt after knee replacement

    Had both knees replaced in my early 60s. Have yet to miss an elk hunt in the high country of CO (hunting since 1991) following a bunch of surgeries, including both ACL replacements, and I am now approaching 72. My physical therapist is an archery hunter so he knew where I needed to be following...

    Amateur Question About Backcountry Stock in Alaska

    Concur with Squirrel's response. Llamas are also the lowest maintenance and easiest to deal with in camp or on the trail. Check out some of Beau Baty's videos at Wilderness Ridge Trail Llamas. He has used all of the animals in your post and has a good video that compares them. They do struggle...
