    Give up hunting/fishing or get a sex change?

    My concern is the obvious: boobs alone do not equal a sex change. If that was the case there are more than a few guys half way there with their moobs. But who is willing to actually lose the hangdown...? THAT is a sex change. Hard no, superchief.

    Any experience with “Oregon Pack Works” packs??

    I ran a Whole Shebang for a couple of years (in between a Mystery Ranch and a Stone Glacier). Pros: The fabric (quiet/rugged/waterproof), craftsmanship (on par with MR), and design (harness and modularity is well thought out) and overall company support. Cons: The stays were too flexible (i...

    opinion for hunting tacoma or 4runner (already have a big truck)

    After running two late 90's 4runners, my current 2008 Tacoma, and a 2002 Hilux Surf (RH drive Japanese market diesel 4runner) i would drop the diesel Surf driveline into a LH drive mid 2000's 4runner and be done. That diesel drive train coupled with the gearing made that rig unstoppable in any...

    It cuts both ways

    I was listening to KifaruCast with the Josh Bowman Interview (part 2), and i was struck by the double bind of language when they began to discuss the anthropomorphisation of predators (bears in particular) by the public. It went down the usual rabbit hole of "people think bears are cute because...

    Naturally Good Shooters

    My Dad is one of those annoying guys. He can grab a 40# recurve and three matched arrows and hit a baseball at twenty yards three for three cold. He shot a bow a bit as a kid (55 years ago), but was never an archer or bowhunter, but he has always been an excellent wingshooter. His archery form...

    New IPhone = Sat Phone device

    Looks like a startup with bad timing: they probably began r&d right as Garmin bought Delorme and then they decided to chance it and bring it to market rather than lose the investment. My Inreach Mini is a proven product in a smaller package by a company with bigger dollars and a longer track...

    Garmin InReach Mini or Explorer?

    I ran the mini this year as well. It was carried from July through to now, and was flawless. I don't have cell service at home and have used it the odd time to connect when power has gone out, as well as carrying it when i am in backcountry (every weekend plus usual week+ early season trips)...

    Triple Aught Design Pants?

    I was wondering if anyone could provide feedback on the Triple Aught Designs (TAD) Talon Guide Pants. They seem to be a lighter weight version of the Sitka Timberlines, but i am curious about how quiet and water resistant they are. Thanks.

    Mauser Stock

    Wildcat all the way. I have another one for a large ring commercial FN M98 that should be here by the 20th. Give Stuart a call and tell him what you are looking for. Great product and service. d.

    Ruger No 1

    I have no experience with suppressors, but i do know first hand that certain single shots (Farquharson's like the Number One in particular) can be picky about barrel harmonics. I can see the weight added to the front of a shortened barrel setting up some possibilities of tuning issues. The...

    FS Kifaru Rambler (Bag Only)

    Sorry guys. I bought this from Ryan a month ago, and i guess he forgot to mark it as sold.

    Help Identifying This Rifle

    Looks like a Santa Barbara commercial M98. They used a knock off of the early Timney triggers with the thumb safety on the early production runs. Not a bad action (not a Belgian FN M98, but nothing else is). They produced actions for a few brands, and also sold a lot of barreled actions to...

    "non hunting" backpacks

    I used an Arcteryx Bora 80 (Canadian made) for years as a hunting and general purpose hiking/snowshoeing pack. I put a Kifaru belt on it and found it to be a solid "all arounder". It hauled more than one boned out critter over the years. I have a Hill People Gear Qui-Ya that i keep in my truck...

    Grand Prairie black bear

    Nice rig you are packing there. Good luck. You are in for what is arguably the most fun you can have hunting with a bow.

    Grand Prairie black bear

    Grande Prairie, beautiful NW Alberta in smokey Western Canada... Things have cooled down considerably in the last couple of days, and there has been some precipitation with more in store. Should have some perfect conditions for spot and stalk bears, depending on available food sources. You...
