    SO Cimarron hot tent

    If it stays dry you can get away without the stove, but once it gets wet and cold having the stove is really nice.

    Tax question?

    My wife is a CPA but she stopped working at her tax firm 9 years ago to stay home with kids - I can run it by her but just know your getting what you paid for:ROFLMAO: EDIT: I should be careful - she was a really good accountant but that was 9 years ago and the tax code changes every year...

    Why am I always tired?

    Sounds like you eat healthy - are you taking electrolytes. Once a cleaned up my diet I had to consume a lot of salt and be pretty intentional with getting carbs - if I miss either of those I feel like a bag of shit. Our bodies can only handle so much stress. I have 4 kids 11 and under so your...

    Saddle as a safety harness

    Saddle as a safety harness sounds like a terrible idea. There’s a reason OSHA requires a 5 point harness for fall protection and banned the waist belt harness years ago.

    Well....I've had enough

    So many opinions on health and fitness. It took you a lot of years to get to this point, so just know there’s no quick fix. Lots of bad info out there so if it seems too good to be true, it likely is. I’m a +1 for a good trainer of you can afford it. If they don’t start with some sort of...

    Why the NR HATE?? Let's fix it!

    I do the same for my Colorado surveys - I can’t understand why having a quality hunt every few years is less appealing than the circus that’s happening every year.

    Standing Desk with Walking Pad?

    I’m about 50/50 office and field now and like you said, my field work is mostly walking around. It’s incredible how much better one feels after physical labor all day. I use a stand up on my desk and try to take walks. I’ve always wondered about the walking treadmill, but it seems really...

    Tent for Truck Camping?

    I’ve used a cabelas alaknak for 10 years now. Once that dies I’m getting a Kodiak so +1 for the Kodiak. I would definitely get a floor of your using it in the spring and summer. Even in the fall a floor is nice if you’re dealing with wet or mud.

    Hunting Vehicle Setups

    I have a topper and just put gear in totes. Those decked systems just seem to take up too much room in an already small area. I can’t imagine doing a trip without that topper. As others mentioned, you don’t always need an atv, so just get a small utility trailer to haul that on trips you need...

    How can I like the taste of venison

    Have you tried making burger and breakfast sausage to start with. Mix with 25% beef or pork to hide some of the deer flavor?

    Advice- Mule Deer Hunt

    I have a buddy that did a 0 point outfitted hunt north of Denver . He saw a lot of nice deer and shooting a solid buck. The outfitter was driving around acreages and knocking on doors for permission - they were basically hunting in peoples backyards. Some kind of weird suburban style hunt...

    Peax equipment sleeping bag

    I would probably like Call if I met him in person but the constant product pushing by him and all the other “hunting personalities” gets old. I stopped listening to hunting podcasts and media a couple years ago because of the constant product pushing and the endless regurgitated content…

    Tracking real estate prices...

    If you ask a realtor it’s always a good time to buy or sell🤣

    Keep hurting my lower back any tips so this will stop.

    Stretching is a lot different that functional mobility. A good mobility routine requires a little work but when you finished you just feel good. It can help strengthen imbalances if done correctly. Lots of free routines on Youtube. I also think you could really benefit from a good...

    Tracking real estate prices...

    We just upgraded our house so I've been dealing with this. Price/SqFt. varies wildly depending on the quality of the home, 2 story vs 1 story, neighborhood, etc. I think your best bet would be to talk to a local realtor to make sense of it.

    Frequency of muscle groups at 66 years old

    Fitness might be the most opinionated subject that people can debate other than politics and in my opinion you basically described overtraining.:ROFLMAO: There is a time to get sore but for the most part working out should make your life better. When you finish most workouts you should feel...

    Youth rifle idea's for western Montana

    I have 4 kids with the oldest @ 11yo right now. My kids definitely have my slim build so recoil was a big concern for me. I ended up with a braked browning micro Midas in 6.5cm and a Leupold vx-3 scope. Seems to fit my oldest well so far.

    Gg

    You probably won't get any specific info, especially with a first post...a quick google search should find a video of some youtuber providing a public service of telling you exactly how to get tags. The information is everywhere. My $.02, if its a one time deal and this is for the experience...

    Frequency of muscle groups at 66 years old

    Definitely be wary of overtraining! When it cones to working out more it’s not usually better. I’m 39 and do full body strength training 2 days per week, 1-2 cardio days(zone 2 rucks), and mobility work on the off days. I’m in good shape and with my day job + that workload I have to listen to...
