Anything good for hunting by The North Face?

I've had good luck in the past using their tents and sleeping bags (for general hiking/camping/backpacking, not hunting specific).

Trekking poles; gimmick or gear?

A big help for my knees, whether I'm carrying a heavy pack or not. I've had mine for over 20 years now... just some old aluminum ski poles I cut to size. Only $1 from a goodwill store. Best gear investment I've ever made. Yeah, they don't fold or collapse, and are heavier than carbon, but I...

MSR Dromedary water bags

I only put water in mine. Clean in a sink, usually with a bottle brush. Hang to dry with it expanded as much as I can or on a long wooden spoon, etc.

MSR Dromedary water bags

Very durable, I also use some 20 year old ones as well. I've had no problem with freezing them or putting hot water in them. A hot one will sometimes go in my sleeping bag. I have used them as a pillow (but prefer actual pillows) and as a shower by hanging them in a tree. My MSR filter also...

MSR front range tarp

It's new this year so you probably won't find a ton about it.

So who actually eats bear?

I had it once, from one of my uncles. It was ground up, so I'm not sure what cut it came from, but it was pretty tasty.

Tendinitis in forearm and bicep

I'm going through something similar and haven't had much relief with just resting it over the last two months or so. I will definitely give some of these a try.

Spotter & Lunar Observation

It also helps if the moon phase is small (closer to a new moon vs full moon), and you look for details more on the transition line from dark to light. Easier to plan when at home vs vacation.

No Service? No Problem! Article by Chas Carmichael

There's some good IGATE's around where I hunt sometimes, that allow for some nice APRS use. That's another thing to look into. While I don't have an InReach, it allows me to send text messages and emails to my wife back home who has no interest in ham radio. She can also track me if I send...
