    Best Electric fence charger for ultralight backcountry setup

    I like this One. Gallagher S12, that being said I haven't had others to compare it with. My wife said it doesn't seem to shock much as the kids were ducking under it. I read that if you take off your shoes it gives more kick since you're more grounded.

    Southwest Montana meat packer/outfitter recommendation?

    You can also call the corresponding forest service office and tell them where you want to go. Each guide service has their own area to operate sometimes with overlap, sometimes not.

    2025 Traditional Hunt Success Thread

    I do gloves and a scalpel blade to skin it, then new gloves and different blade to quarter. I've found them to be great eating

    2025 Traditional Hunt Success Thread

    Had a wonderful AZ javelina hunt and my good buddy got his first javelina. We get to hunt in the higher elevation Pinyon Juniper which seems like it takes a couple days to find them in that landscape. I scouted a few new spots and then we hunted together in a spot we knew for a couple days. On...

    Great thread. Some other great reads include 7003 Days, by Jim and Holly Akenson about living in the Frank Church managing Taylor Ranch. Silvertip, about traditional archer Paul Shafer with some horse packing in there. I just ordered the new Smoke Elsner book about the Bob Marshall Wilderness...

    Safari tuff taipan

    I'm guessing there are a couple factories that make 90% of the arrows and various manufacturers order to their specs. Technical clothing is made at the same factories. When I was visiting India I met someone who worked with one of these companies. He said they make north face jackets one day...

    Backcountry Stock Wilderness saw set up…what do you use?

    Looks like this got asked previously, the saw I have looks very similar to this, but probably a touch shorter. https://rokslide.com/forums/threads/pack-saw.131628/

    Backcountry Stock Wilderness saw set up…what do you use?

    I've really like the silki saws. I got to use an electric Stihl this year packing in food for a trail crew. Was awesome to take out stuff I didn't want to go around. We were in a 15 year fire scar with tons on downed trees and it did amazing with 1 1/4 of the 300 Amp batteries. Our local...

    Breaking Rules, Tack, and Everything Else: My DIY Horseback Hunting Chronicle

    I'm currently switching from pack llamas to a 9 year old mule (Welsh pony cross) trained to pack and ride, and a 5 year old burro trained to pack. Gonna be a big learning curve, but I good friend I trust sold me the animals and is mentoring me. They've both got tons of trail miles and crossed...

    Packing Arrows

    I love the halter as well, my buddy makes tack, so I'm getting Decker saddles and a riding saddle for the mule ad part of the deal. Guessing it might be easier to stick the arrows in something smaller than my 6 arrow quiver, then swap them back to the quiver.

    Packing Arrows

    Hey folks, I'm in the process of switching from packing with llamas to packing with a mule and burro. I'm getting the trained equines from a buddy I really trust. I shot a 2 piece longbow with a quiver that velcro/ straps on. What are folks using to transport arrows with broadheads? I was...

    Idaho fires

    I'll double check later, a fire planner at work shared it with me. I was working the snag, Boulder and goat fires. I think the only spot that has burned in those fire areas was in 1908.
