    I believe it was early October of 2013, but don't quote me on the year. In all fairness to the AO, the tent pole didn't actually break, the silver coupler between the pole section came loose and went down into the pole section body. We were able to splint the sections together and it worked fine...

    The AO is an outstanding tent, we use ours yearly. In addition to the better heat retention, the lack of condensation on the walls is another selling point. Having said that, I did have a pole fail at 2:00 am on Kodiak in a nasty storm. We were able to splint it and it was fine for the rest of...

    Wow, I haven't seen too many goats tip over like that. Nice shot.

    Wood Stove for a Sawtooth, help me decide.

    I just picked up a Sawtooth and LO 18" cylinder stove this winter. I like them both and they served me well on a spring goat hunt last month on Kodiak.

    New Alaska Sheep Regulations

    I have read enough posts from Stid, Synd, Bambi, etc over the years that I feel confident that we agree on the issues as many other informed residents do. The problem is we can't get anything done. After years of beating our heads against the BOG wall nothing significantly has changed. I am not...

    New Alaska Sheep Regulations

    Well said. I echo your comments completely but have very little faith in the BOG.

    New solo tent

    My partner had a brand new Enan this year and wasn't happy about the condensation in it either.

    Update on Happy Valley Caribou

    "Nobody knows the way of the caribou other than the wind and the wolves" Sounds like west is a better option, but I didn't see many between Happy Valley and Anaktuvuk Pass.

    Update on Happy Valley Caribou

    I flew around 1500 miles between Happy Valley and the Canadian border on the north side last week. Like many have said caribou were very scarce and usually singles or small groups. I only saw a couple shooter bulls as well.

    Alaska tent?

    I would use the Flying Diamond 8 in 90% of Alaska without a worry.

    Tikka vs Kimber, what would you do?

    My Kimber issues were several years ago as well. I bought mine knowing some had issues but I wanted to see for myself. Maybe the newer ones are better, I hope they are because they have a lot of nice features. The only issue you ever hear about with a T3 is the plastic bolt shroud. $50 and 5...

    Tikka vs Kimber, what would you do?

    I went the Kimber Montana route once as well. After trying to get it to shoot for 6 months I sold it. My Tikka Super Lite shoots anything I put in it very well.
