    I picked up a Coleman 533 stove. Old school.

    You will never fall in love with a propane stove that’s for sure. It’ll always be too fake. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Anyone not use a ground sheet with a floorless shelter?

    If you have to dry layers with a down bag your best bet is between you and the pad. That down wetting out wont cripple you and you can still effectively dry stuff out. Ive run a light synthetic quilt plenty of times inside down with wet layers on to dry them and the quilt takes the water and...

    Anyone not use a ground sheet with a floorless shelter?

    well thank god we’ve been set right. If only 1 persons good mood while snowed into a tent during a hunting trip is saved by this discussion it was worth enduring. Now just to be clear- in the context of the OP that’s a no, you do not run a floorless with no ground cloth?

    Down - Duck or Goose

    I’m struggling to link an image here but a gfolge search of down fill power by volume will show test tubes full of different fill power down- regardless of source- 850 lifts more therefore insulates better than 800, resulting in better thermal efficiency, resulting in a warmer bag than an...

    Down - Duck or Goose

    They might share the same rating but an 850 fill bag and an 800 fill bag of otherwise similar construction will not be equal in warmth/ insulation. The 850 bag will be warmer. By how much I can’t quantify.

    Down - Duck or Goose

    What weighs more a pound of 850fill duck down or a pound of 850 fill goose down- my scale is broken?

    Anyone not use a ground sheet with a floorless shelter?

    i guess if you let snow pile up on your shelter for 5 days you get what you get. Which is called “Life experience “ and subsequently don’t do that anymore. I’d way rather deal 5 days of snow than 5 days of rain or mixed precipitation. Conditions in the 28-40 range are absolute the most...

    Anyone not use a ground sheet with a floorless shelter?

    I don’t know. I lived/ hunted in AK for 6 years. Lived / hunted Olympic peninsula 3 years. I grew up 10 miles from the southern terminus of the AT (aka the place where humidity originates) and ive been pretty happy with a bivy and a tarp through all that. I just spent a month and a half in a...

    Anyone not use a ground sheet with a floorless shelter?

    Ultralight bivy with my pad inside is my way. With or without tarp or tipi. In a tipi or tarp it keeps condensation and melt off everything and keeps my stuff together so it’s not a yard sale of a sleep system. Plus a lot of the time I’ll just lay down and sleep wherever it gets dark (more or...

    how short of a barrel is too short .308 mountain rifle

    18.5 makes a nice 308. 20” does too. 40” overall length is money.

    let's talk emergency sleep/shelter setups

    Great discussion guys. My magnesium fire starter and striker; my “security” blanket, a headlamp and a surefire absolutely help provide that confidence to take a last minute of light shot a couple miles from camp and can (have been) the difference between a long night and a survival situation.

    RF vs. RF Binos

    Once you’ve had RF binos for a while there’s really no going back. Ranging as you glass becomes just part of your process- it’s just more information for your brain. It almost makes my other binocular feel broken- using them I feel deprived the same way I do going from liecas to diamondbacks or...

    onX hunt inaccurate property lines

    I’m starting to stress out about trespassers now. I wish google earth had a subscription service where you could just task a satellite to give you real-time imagery of your property once or twice a day or maybe some kind of on demand ISR feed whether it be drone based or otherwise. I know for a...

    Cheap, available game bag option

    I had been accustomed to using pillow cases for a few years when I moved to Alaska in 2008. I bought a NR moose tag and black bear tag that first year, and pillow cases in pack sallied forth, not even knowing what a cheechako is. Black bear was a non issue, mY previous experience with them was...

    A red fox got into my game bag

    Between all the CWD and trichnosis, tick diseases and rabies out there I just pack out the horns anymore. And usually get someone else to do that for me and I just collect the euro at the taxi. way Too risky for my taste. Real talk- I wouldn’t be washing anything, as that only distributes...
