Guys that drive a long ways to hunt, what are your less common(but important) pieces of gear/tools you're sure to keep in the truck?
My wife’s expedition is smart enough to stay locked if the key is in the cab. We’ve tested it as we just lock the keys inside the cab when we go hiking and just use the keypad to get in when we get back. I always bring spare keys on a hunt and my partner and I each carry a set.- The_Jim

Help with tent/stove and camping questions
12x12 is great for 2, and a little tight for 3 with a stove. I have an older 4 dog stove, that works good, but I think he only makes titanium stoves now.- The_Jim

Help with tent/stove and camping questions
+1 to @IdahoBeav. I've used mine at 8k in Colorado a bunch with no issue. I also usually set up my truck/base camp at lower elevations that late because of the snow/roads. Then we branch out with an atv and spike camp/backpack from there. Gives us the ability to move throughout a unit...- The_Jim

#1 - get tire chains. Now for the tent. You don't need a stove at all, but i can make things much more comfortable.

1 month training
I personally don't add any weight a month out. More weight = more risk for injury and an injury is the last thing you want before a hunting trip. 30 pounds is a great weight. You could go up to 50 once a week, just so your hips and shoulders know how it feels, but its not necessary to do...- The_Jim

United health insurance
I get those emails from United too and have been curious about their service. No experience, just a word of caution from our insurance mess. I would definitely check with your local doctors to make sure you’re in network. We switched our company from bcbs to allied 2 years ago and it has been...- The_Jim
