    Wall tent vs bell tent help me decide

    I've had a 13' White Duck Avalon for a year now. It's done well for me so far. Held up just fine with moderate rain, several inches of snow, and 30-ish mph winds. Haven't experienced anything more extreme than that yet, though I'm sure it can handle more. The only thing I would really be worried...

    Coffee Experts--Input Needed

    Cold brew. Hear me out. I'm a strong believer that this is an amazing balance of quality coffee and little time invested. A 1 gallon batch of cold brew lasts me about 5 days (~24oz/day). Stupid simple to make. Grind up some beans (~2+ cups). Dump it in a gallon jar and fill with water and stick...

    Chest rig experiences? FHF vs HPG

    FWIW I have the full size SAR kit bag and I can easily fit Maven 8x30s, rangefinder, and a Glock 40. HPG lists the SAR with a depth of 2.5" and the Heavy Recon at 1.5" though. No experience with the FHF.

    Hunting Accident in South Dakota

    I’m in my 20th year of hunting and prior to this weekend had never been around a negligent discharge. We had 2 NDs in the same day last weekend. One by a newbie and one by an old timer. The one by the old timer was a moment of stupidity. The one by the newbie was more worrisome because there...

    My gun started punching primers

    I had something similar just a few weeks ago. Signs of high pressure with factory loads. Primers would get completely unseated. I also initially suspected that I was letting the ammo and gun cook too much in the sun. Turns out I also head excessive headspace. I believe it was a combo of both...

    Fly Fishing Pack that holds a 10mm on your chest?

    Wanted to offer one more data point: I can confirm that a G40 easily fits in the back pocket of a full sized HPG SAR kit bag. Though if I were around grizzlies, I’m not so sure I’d feel comfortable with my handgun in a zipped pocket. Another note, the Stone Glacier bear spray holster has been...

    Do I need a woodstove for Co 2nd Rifle?

    It can certainly be done without a stove. I did 3rd season without any stove last year. Granted, our basecamp was at 6000ft. Though I was wishing I had a stove as it was down around 0 most nights.

    2023 Bird and Dog pics

    My first two grouse. As far as I know, these are his first birds too. Got the dog when he was about 6yrs old. He gave me two solid points on these birds.

    Thermarest NeoAir XTherm NXT MAX

    Yeah I just got the non-MAX version and the “stuff sack” is way bigger than it needs to be. I’ll try to either find a cinch strap or a more appropriately sized bag.
