    What’s the coolest thing you found in the back country

    Another I found in the highcountry, at round 8,500' - I've picked up quite a few over the years, often right in camp. I always assume if I like a spot, it's likely Indians did too.

    I found these in a dry snow melt depression at 10,000'

    Thru hike: trail runners or boots

    For backpacking, I ditched boots a decade ago and won't ever go back. I will wear boots in some snow conditions, but that's about it. I also don't us WP/Breathable shoes, preferring something that's not a plastic bag, but rather something that will dry out quicker. It's a individual thing for...

    Home gun vaults. Who has one and what’s the do and donts ?

    I'm a general contractor and have built several, including one underway currently. As above, I always use an in-swing door. Make sure you leave room @ the door opening on the hinge side to fur-out the walls with studs to give the door the ability to fully open. Going crazy with a bank vault...

    New to Montana Hunting

    For your pistol, use hard cast LBT style bullets, whether 9mm or 10mm (I'm happy with 9mm). Welcome and good luck!

    Is Rokslide a Cult? Is Fishnet Form the RokLeader?

    With some exceptions, yes it is.

    Is Rokslide a Cult? Is Fishnet Form the RokLeader?

    Interesting how the flatbirim generation think they invented fishnet underwear. Us boomers own it lol. Nothing new under the sun. Form is no cult leader, and this is no cult. Pretty good forum IMO. Lots of give and take without the emotional dysfunction of 24hour campfire (I'm member no. 30...

    New to Montana Hunting

    Hey man, welcome to MT. My daughter is a nurse in Billings. What hospital you going to be at? But I digress - I'm a solo, backpack hunter. All my hunting is in grizzly country. Don't sweat it, hunt it. You've got a rifle. If bowhunting, pack spray and a pistol. I've encountered plenty of...

    Endurance: Shackleton's South Pole

    I'll have to read it. I've read Lansing's book Endurance, but have always wanted to find a good Amundsen (my namesake's) read. I've been on the Fram in Oslo... men who did so much with so little.

    Trail runners / Fast Packing / hiking shoes

    No one can really pick a shoe for you, anymore than someone can pick a your wife for you. Recommendations and parameters can be suggested, and one's own experience shared, but that's about it. I've had piles, including lots of various Salomon's (my previous favorite). My hand's down favorite is...

    Endurance: Shackleton's South Pole

    The Brits fawn over the memory of Scott - a man who didn't bother to learn from those who live in such places, thus sealing the fate of his party through incompetence and arrogance. Amundsen is hardly known compared to Scott, yet he skillfully and competently led his men to the South Pole and...

    Are the any Ski Areas left out West that havent been ruined?

    A lot of truth there - there's been a lot of articles in the last decade describing the social isolation and poor mental health of many that live full-time in true "ski towns."

    7 PRC or 300 PRC?

    A 300 Mag of any stripe never was "necessary" any more than 7 Mag's are "necessary." I'd be happy with a 308 Win on anything in NA including grizzlies. America, for a couple generations, was a 30 Caliber Country, but that has changed. However, if I just absolutely "had" to have a magnum of some...

    Yeti Purchases Mystery Ranch

    Sounds like Dana Gleason hit a home run ball. Good for him, probably ready to retire. While I like Dana Design packs, I never cared for MR. When Dana sold Dana Design to K2, it was only a matter of a few years until they destroyed it. I wonder whether history will repeat itself?

    Careers

    You don't become a pilot with a wishy-washy attitude. You either want it badly or shouldn't bother. It's a commitment to attain and maintain quality airmanship skills. I grew up in an airline pilots home, and the perks are many, but it's not for everyone.
