    Ladder Offset or Safety Rails

    You're obviously going to need a ladder rack and extension ladder if you plan on climbing on hundreds of roofs per year. Start there. Then look at step throughs and tie downs. I'm worried about the rest of your setup if you planned on getting on hundreds of roofs with a little giant packed in a...

    Livingston Montana Emergency

    This will buff out. The financial penalty and the hoops he'll have to jump for the next 5 years (assessment, court, interlock license, SR22 insurance, fines) will be a solid lesson but none of this is career ending or anything.

    Tripod for western hunting?

    I pack the old style Bog Pod with the trigger style pan head and bino saddle for glassing. It's not exactly rock solid or silent but incredibly versatile. I can shoot off the bino saddle and strap a small spotter to the saddle instead of detaching it at the base plate. That makes for quick...

    Lawfulness of having a dog on a hunt versus using a dog to hunt

    Yeah I agree with you there. Unfortunately Washington tends to implement policy based on what thing X is capable of, not what person Y is actually doing. They will argue that because dogs are capable of baying and treeing certain big game animals, and baying and treeing certain big game animals...

    Safety redundancy, plans.

    My inreach contacts can also sign in to my OnX account. I tell them my general location and use the tracker function a lot. I also verbally run through scenarios with my wife and hunting buddies so they can guess what I may have done/will do in a given situation or vise versa. If I'm hunting in...

    Door Knocking?

    Care to elaborate? More research, more work after asking, more gifts? I'd love to hear a tried and true method.

    Door Knocking?

    I have had next to no luck door knocking in Washington. People either look at me like I have three heads or tell me their family member hunts there. Wild goose chase. I have had way more luck meeting people at dinner, school, BBQs, social events and asking about hunting property.

    Least you would hunt with

    Wet wipes are a must. I could compromise on everything else. If you set me a budget and that's all I had, I think I could still have a decent hunt. I'd archery hunt with a pawn shop Jennings with the tiny wheels, an amazon range finder and work/street clothes. I'd rifle hunt with whatever rifle...

    Lawfulness of having a dog on a hunt versus using a dog to hunt

    Except that pack animals don't track or run game, aren't capable of aiding in any other way and aren't specifically prohibited in the regs like dogs are. I wish I could use my dog but that's how Wa is. And it's probably for the best. Only thing dumber than Washington regs is Washington...

    Lawfulness of having a dog on a hunt versus using a dog to hunt

    I asked specifically about using my dog to pack water and got a hard no. His reasoning was that any dog trained well enough not to blow a hunt will aid in the hunt. Tracking, pointing, alerting, etc. He also said that packing is aiding in the hunt. He made good points. If he wasn't aiding in...

    Lawfulness of having a dog on a hunt versus using a dog to hunt

    It's illegal unless the dog is left at an established camp site or being used to blood trail on a leash. I asked a warden about bringing my dog to a backcountry camp, warden said no.

    I propose the “Fair opportunity in America’s Outdoors Act”

    100%. We need equity. You also shouldn't need ID to get a hunting license or tags because that's racist. We need to introduce plant based game animals so that it's inclusive to vegans.

    National Forest Camping Ethics

    Dumb question. You're preventing someone else from using a camp site while you're not even there. If you want to hold a camp site, camp in it. If you're not camping then F off and leave the spot for someone who is camping.
