Oh, and as long as your stove has a spark screen you are allowed to use it (unless they amp up restrictions). Most backpacking stoves have the screen between the stove and the pipe…
@cnelk thanks.
I deleted Facebook about 7 years ago shortly after starting work in cybersecurity... but I digress...
I was able to see the info you originally posted on their FB page without an account.
So much for re-sighting... and the open pit pig roast we had planned.
Be safe out...
I was hoping to get one last sight-in since it was pretty windy when I did it last weekend after adjusting the scope. Was planning to do that on the way out tomorrow on some BLM we pass through in Jackson County.

Hey All:
Headed out for first rifle (elk) in a few days--Zirkel area in Colorado.
As near as I can tell there's really no snow to speak of.
Thinking about:
Water (normally we melt snow for water)
Tracking (much easier in the snow)
Cooling meat (we stuff ziplocs with snow once we're back to...
It's only a matter of time before the moderators are replaced by robots. Threads will be automatically locked as soon as topics like "goats" "ghosting" and "game bags with bottom handles" come up...
