    Short quotes that speak volumes.

    When King Philip II of Macedon (father of Alexander the Great) invaded southern Greece, he sent a message to the Spartans asking if he would be received as a friend or enemy. The Spartans’ reply was brief: “Neither.” Offended, Philip sent a threat: “You are advised to submit without further...

    Heel Blisters- Need advice

    Everyone has a different heel. I have found that my bony heels do better with nice round heel pockets for the most part. And the other thing I discovered is that fat insoles make it worse. I now just use those thin plastic danner heel cups in most boots with no other insert for the rest of my foot.

    Anyone carry bibs in the backcountry?

    Eddie Bauer makes good stuff. If you hit REI and start hitting the sales rack you can find good stuff in orange like Patagonia, Mountain Hardwear or Marmot.

    Anyone carry bibs in the backcountry?

    As for layering I think the trick as K1 says is to keep it simple but really insulate it up with good air layer. I use a subzero down jacket when it gets Uber cold. It only weighs like 1.5 pounds and you can sit for hours in brutally cold weather. Legs: Bibs or insulated EB guide pants. Merino...

    Anyone carry bibs in the backcountry?

    Excessive is relevant. I would never wear them during bow season. During rifle they are just great. Seems like the last few years the temperature never got above 35 degrees. They don’t weigh much. Stay super dry, no draft, wind doesn’t cut through. Can vent if it’s a little too warm. I move...

    Anyone carry bibs in the backcountry?

    I wear technical bibs that were made for alpine mountaineering. They are fantastic when it’s cold. Mountain Hardwear synchro bibs. During the day, they unzip to let air in. I usually wear nylon running shorts under them, but if it is below 20 degrees I put on a light pair of merino long-handles...

    Utah sells out in 1/2 day

    I got on 15 minutes before the sale time and was like 12,300 in the que. I was seriously shocked there were that many on line.

    Utah sells out in 1/2 day

    Yeh, I remember buying my tag like in late August to September timeframe in the 2010 - 2015 range. Seems like 2 or 3 years ago something went wacky.

    BFG T/A KO2s vs Falken Wildpeak A/T3W

    I’m a believer in rotating tires every time I get an oil change. Definitely makes the tires wear more even and last longer.

    BFG T/A KO2s vs Falken Wildpeak A/T3W

    I have the falkens on my jeep gladiator. 59K so far and I swear I still have half my tread left. I don’t rock climb or tear crap up but they have been just dandy in deep snow and mud on 3 elk hunts and constant use on the ranch.

    Seek Outside Guardian floorless shelter review ***updated 1/22/23***

    I sure wish somebody would just make the golite SL8 again. This kind of reminds me of that.

    How’s your fuel prices

    I’m willing to pay more to bring our reliance on foreign oil to zero. Especially oil produced by Russians, and the former Persian empire, et al.

    Forums Are Dead!

    24CF is basically a meeting place for drunk white nationalist. Here we talk about hunting gear, not grievances. This site is not dead!

    Elk poacher to spend next 3 elk season in jail

    That’s neat. That might actually be more painful than one 90 day stretch. Messes up his vacation time every year, plus three strip searches and intakes. Plus he has to dread the next year for 11 months.

    DIY question

    NF = national forest road. There are lots of pull offs on any given fire road. Pull off 10 yards into the timber or even park at a closed gate. Start hoofing from there. Nobody will ticket your truck. Nobody will mess with your stuff in most places.

    Time to process an elk?

    I used to do my own elk processing but have come to the conclusion the most cost effective thing is to bone out the elk to get it off the mountain, then take the meat to the local butcher for processing. Keep the back straps and let them cut the roasts and grind the burger. Why spend a whole...

    herd size

    I drove at first light from Breckenridge down through FairPlay then to Cañon City. Saw zero elk in any field, meadow or edge of timber. No like it was 15 - 20 years ago where you would see numerous small herds munching alfalfa in the farmers fields.
