    email account

    Proton. Even the free accounts are encrypted. At minimum, all your financial stuff should be through an encrypted email. I still use outlook for some personal stuff (promo codes and the like) so it doesn’t plug up my Proton inbox with junk.

    Beware of auto-tips at restaurants, etc...

    I’ve been stuck in downtown Seattle for work all week and funny this just happened to me a couple hours ago! Ordered from a counter when I walked in. They handed me a beer at the counter and brought wings to my table outside. That was the extent of the service. The standard tip options started...

    Would have been 17 Sunday

    Hang in there man. Holding your deceased daughter is a pain I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy. I think I’ve watched every video on the internet about child loss and grief. This one always hits home for me. Hold onto the promise of God.

    7MM-08 Favorite Factory Ammo?

    Have shot everything in AK but brown bear and bison with Barnes TTSX. I almost look like I know what I’m doing at the range when I shoot it

    Volkswagen atlas experiences?

    One of our close friends is on her second that she bought brand new. She went to trade it in for her third last week. Her current is a 2020 with 120k on it. Never had anything outside of routine maintenance. They fit two adults with four kids +hockey gear no problem. And that middle seat...

    AK unit 18 DIY Moose hunt

    Fish and game has nothing to do with it. It’s all refuge land in 18. So it’s all through USFWS. You need a commercial operating permit to operate in a refuge and yes, need all spots pre approved by the refuge if using it commercially. GC is different, he operates within a wilderness area and is...

    Renfro/ 60" club

    From what I can tell, people don’t care who flys them in as long as they get a spot. Not sure what everyone’s vetting process is, but safety record seems to be somewhere towards the bottom. It’s nothing to joke about, but over the last decade Renfro has had more crashes than Bitcoin. Make your...

    Has anyone booked a hunt with huntnation?

    Not speaking on this booking agent specifically, but seriously why use a booking agent in this day and age when the world is at your fingertips? I can think of probably a dozen outfitters/guides using booking agencies that basically under no circumstances would I send a friend to hunt with...

    New Trucks....

    Uh oh, talking bad about a Toyota on this website might be worse than starting a political thread! I finally gave in a we bought a Tahoe last year. I wanted to avoid all the pointless sensors that I don’t need. This winter a part that relays blind spot sensors went bad. It shut down the whole...

    AK unit 18 DIY Moose hunt

    Call the refuge and ask who all the transporters holding a commercial permit are. If they don’t hold a permit, don’t use them - unless you’re willing to chance watching your moose horns auctioned off at Fur Rondy in March. The air operators need to have every spot approved by USFWS prior to drop...

    Have any of you thought who gets your stuff. Or do they even want it

    Estate planing is the best gift people can give their families. Somewhere around the age of 25, kids should be involved in it. If you die in the next 10 years, your kids will probably change their tune and both want their share. If you make it to the point of them being involved in planning...

    Interesting 4/20 marketing by Simms

    I’m not going to read back, but I remember maybe one person in the whole thread say they use. You don’t have to use to see the big picture. You do bring up a good point though. I have a good friend who lost a limb overseas. He’s been fed every mind altering and pain relieving drug the VA could...

    Big Hunt Camp

    Everyone digs a single hole on arrival about 2.5 feet deep and pile dirt next to it. With that many people, may want a way to mark each hole. Crap, cover with a couple inches of dirt, repeat. No poop is ever exposed, no one is re-digging holes, no one is stepping in marked holes. On a 10 day...

    Over Priced Things That Shouldn't Be?

    Because of my geographical location, I’ve never been to a major sporting event (pro or college). We planned a visit to the in-laws around March Madness this year. Beers were $14. WHY ARE THE BEERS $14!?!? Same with concerts, haven’t been to one with more than maybe a thousand people in over a...

    Finances for addicts

    FYI, hot of the press! The new capital gains rate proposed today would significantly hinder this method of saving. https://www.forbes.com/newsletters/andrewleahey/2024/04/24/biden-capital-gains-rate-proposal-446/?sh=3d5a64841ff6

    Finances for addicts

    Another way that works for my household is every time we get a raise or bonus, 50% of it goes towards investments. We set it up automatic before we even see that first paycheck with the new amount. Lifestyle creep kills people. Seems like most get a $20k raise and it’s all gone immediately to...

    20% of whatever the average home value will be at the time seems like the best way to project it 😂

    Interesting 4/20 marketing by Simms

    So the outliers. Same as alcoholics or someone eating fast food 3 times a day who may be just as worthless. If that’s how they want to live their life, so be it. Run em off the job if they are not performing instead of the going after everyone else’s freedom.
