    Summer Adventures

    Lots of camping/fishing with kids in May/June. Spent 10 days in my hometown over the 4th. Our small town of 800 people had a big party/all school reunion. Over 10k ppl were at a free Blackhawk concert on Main Street. Saw tons of people I haven’t seen in 10-15+ years. It was a riot. Now we’re...

    Dave Ramsey has a new podcast out-it's titled "Stay off the Rokslide gear deals forum"

    Right on. I actually saw a video just the other day where he’s talking about how people attack him for providing bad money advice. He flat out said “this isn’t a money program, it’s a human behavior program.” Over half this country is addicted to spending money they don’t have and are barely...

    Apple announced satellite comm texting - no more in reach???

    It will take years of proven reliability until my inreach stays home. I’d guess minimum 5-10 years before I’m going phone only. Safety plans for inreach are a whopping $10/mo. Pretty negligible considering the $$$$ people throw at hunting trips and gear. I’ve been looking forward to the day I...

    DIY Saltwater Fishing Trip to Prince of Wales Island

    There’s a grocery store in Ketchikan that’s walking distance from the airport ferry and the AMHS ferry. Just bring an extra duffel and load up before you head to the island. I’ve always just got taxis if I have too much gear to walk around/across airport ferry. While in a Taxi, the fee to ride...

    What's your "Happy place"?

    Moose camp. Calm, frosty, and foggy 20 degree September mornings when you can hear faint bull grunts slowly grow louder until they emerge from the fog. I haven’t found a wildlife interaction that has come close. Not convinced it exists. The northern plains/grasslands. Watching the breeze of a...

    White Bear

    Great share and congrats! If I ever do a guided hunt, this is it! The first time I got to watch a few polar bears sealed the deal for me. I don’t get jealous much, but those seal skin pants that one fella has on are MINT! Did you donate the parts or are you getting them cleaned/tanned and...

    Donna Boddington's Unlimited Ram

    I just remembered hearing a politician say on main stream media a few days ago that “no one is above the law.” I retract all my previous comments. There’s no way either would lie to me.

    Donna Boddington's Unlimited Ram

    You’re 100% correct. Administrative level is not warden level; it’s chief, director, or commissioner level. Again, I’m not saying that happened here. I’d love to hear wardens chime in on how many cases they’ve had thrown out from a level above them. Does MT really let wardens do their sheep...

    Donna Boddington's Unlimited Ram

    I’m no lawyer, so lawyers please correct me if needed, but I’ve been in a mind numbing number of meetings on the line between regulation and statute. Regulations have the force of law, but are not passed at the legislative level and therefore enforcement is subject to administrative discretion...

    Why do rifle hunters use Camouflage ? The few times I’ve used a rifle I never wore camo of any kind.. seems silly.

    Alaska in August

    If you like fishing, you’ll be a very short plane ride from an absolute bucket list fishery! I won’t type it out so it doesn’t show up in a google search, but just type “world record Dolly Varden” into google and it will guide you to where you wanna be! I’m sure you’ve looked at a map, but...

    Denali Park Flag Flying Update

    Case isn’t closed until they dip the Park Superintendent in water to see if she floats!

    Have you moved out of state?

    If you’re from WI and considering to move to Southcentral AK, it’s not much different in regards to winter daylight. I’m from Southcentral ND and my whole life went to and from school/work in the dark for a couple months a year. It’s about the same here and it changes FAST. The few times we...

    Kodiak brown bear

    Bummer to hear that. I had a resident friend that got his bear a couple weeks ago, but sounds like he did not see many and winter was hanging around. He was inland on a lake. It’s been a late spring. According to the news, we still have not hit 60 degrees here in the Anchorage area (average...

    Denali National Park bridge crew ordered to stop flying American flags

    I guess it sorta matters if the story is real or not when this person’s face and name has been shared tens of thousands of times all over social media and now on national TV. Imagine if someone at your work heard you talking about guns and then made an anonymous report that you were going to...
