    Idahoans do not like out-of-state hunters

    Yes, if the OP thinks getting side eyed and some attitude on the road is bad it’s nothing compared to duck hunting. Try setting up in someone else’s “spot” and then they set up 60 yards away, shoot birds on your swing, shoot at birds going into your decoys, and Sky blast and rain shot on you...

    Toilet paper or wet wipes?

    Honestly I did think about this when I first started using them so always used filtered water in the backcountry but in cases of emergency I have just used whatever water I could find including just spitting on them. Also read that giardia has to be transmitted by mouth and travel the through...

    Toilet paper or wet wipes?

    I’ll have to check when I go up to my property this weekend since the big bags are up there but I am pretty sure Portawipe is the brand. I picked up about 200 for $25 last time I bought some. When unfolded they are surprisingly big too it’s probably close to 10”x10”. Can tear or cut in half for...

    Toilet paper or wet wipes?

    Compressed coin towelettes. Add a couple drops of water and they expand into a full wipe so it’s like a more biodegradable wet wipe and they weigh next to nothing plus don’t take up any space. Can fit about 10 of them in an orange waterproof match holder. Surprisingly tear resistant too

    Sitka Core Lightweight Hoodie vs.......

    Forloh Insectshield SolAir hoodie. I sold all of my LW Core Hoodies because I was worried about durability. Plus the Forloh hoody feels cooler to me in hot weather I’ve been wearing it all summer and early season dove and teal so far. Doesn’t have the features like the face mask or the chest...

    One or two bows

    I used to bring a second bow but now I just bring extra hardware. Old string, serving, rest, fixed sight, a couple fletchings, inserts, blunt points (in case I have to sight in) and glue with some tools. Fit it all in a Kifaru pullout and I bring it on every hunt now and leave that in the truck...

    Creepy experiences in the backcountry

    Yup my thoughts too I was elk hunting in Colorado glassing a meadow when it sounded like someone was throwing large rocks our way. After about 15 minutes I needed to investigate who was trying to sabotage our hunt. Turned out it was a black bear flipping rocks looking for food

    Kuiu layering question

    The 240 softens and quiets down if you wash it more. The Windpro is dead quiet it’s a very soft fleece so you can’t wear it walking into the stand if you have burrs around as it’s a magnet for them. So wearing that over the 240 helps muffle any noise concerns for me. I still think the 240 is...

    Kuiu layering question

    To me the 240 has better wind blocking capabilities than the Strongfleece (I have a 260). The Strongfleece is warmer but you lose heat if sitting in a stand since it has the breathable panels under the arms and on the back. It’s made for being on the move in cold weather. I have the Wind Pro zip...

    Heads up on First Lite Merino Base Layers

    Have had the same experience with my Wick shirts (2 SS and 1 QZ). They are the comfiest Merino I’ve tried since I have dry sensitive skin so I don’t get itchy from their stuff but the durability is definitely lacking. Had the same issue after one week out West. I noticed a ton of piling just...

    Kuiu Peloton 200 compared to 97

    Love the 97 but the 200 just doesn’t really fit in with my system. It is a looser fit and boxier cut so to me it didn’t feel as warm but has a little harder faced fabric that doesn’t breath as well. Comfy for wearing around the house though. I bought the 200 for throwing on over my 97 in a...

    Skre

    Love all of my SKRE gear but the sizing can be inconsistent across different pieces. I can fit in a small for a baselayer and then a large jacket is almost too tight. Call or email their CS for sizing before you order and they will get you squared away. They have great customer service in my...

    How many hours of e scouting?

    I agree with this especially out West. Now I will just drop a bunch of waypoints in a unit then study topo for a few minutes around each spot and then just wait until I show up and see it in person. More local spots just drop a pin a general area and then go out and walk it. Usually find the...

    Out of State Hunting / Fishing Adventures with Buddies

    I took my buddies who aren’t very experienced campers let alone backcountry camping to the Boundary Waters for a cast and blast in October. The ducks were all gone and the fishing was tough (a snowstorm rolled in and dropped 4 inches of snow on us day 2) but it’s a trip we all still talk about...

    Probably Going Crazy, But Looking for Suggestions

    To go off of this my dorm room sophomore year had some random things happen over a two week span out of the blue. Mostly related to things electrical that give off an energy that supposedly spirits can use to manifest themselves or use. Had speakers and desk fans turn on and off by themselves...

    Probably Going Crazy, But Looking for Suggestions

    Possession is what came to mind for me as well especially when you heard your daughter speaking in a different voice. That is creepy and if you aren’t religious I would really start to think about reevaluating your spiritual life. Burning sage may help but I would have someone come in and bless...

    2 stroke boat motor acting up

    This right here as this is something that a lot of new boaters overlook and I’ve been guilty of it too. Vent the gas tank before starting especially after running for a bit and then starting up again or you will get a vapor lock. It may start fine at the launch based on fuel still in the line/...
