    Trekking poles.... How many use them?

    Single pole for me...with a twist! I can change the presentation to any of 20 camo or decoy patterns in a matter of seconds.

    Who has gotten the flu recently?

    There are some gnarly ones out there. I'm still coughing stuff up. My Wife is an ICU nurse. A good percentage of the young people who have died from it locally got the flu shot...so getting the shot is no guarantee. It appears they may have been a little off on their "best guess" of what...

    Freezer paper or vacuum seal meat?

    I ate some elk steaks the other night that were wrapped by a butcher in 2009. Cling type plastic wrap around the meat, and then well wrapped in butcher paper. I was amazed at how good it looked when I unwrapped it. That being said, I usually vacuum pack if I do it myself.

    What's the most expensive thing you've lost while outdoors?

    In 1992, I lost my bow while hunting, laid it on the tonneau cover and drove off. In 2012, I lost my bow while hunting, laid it on the tonneau cover and drove off. :(

    Mike, what I wouldn't give to have your metabolism! I hate having to resign myself to the fact that everything that tastes awesome is slowly poisoning me!

    What water purification/filtration are you using for mountain hunting?

    I became well aware of the submersion thing early on. Like I said, I've been using it for 3 years, and I tried every trick I know to get that bulb to light. There was plenty of cow poo in that water to make the sensors work (it was a stream outlet from a big park occupied by groups of...

    What water purification/filtration are you using for mountain hunting?

    I ran the Steripen for the last 3 Seasons and I loved it...however, it gave up the ghost in the middle of my Backcountry hunt this Season. It just wouldn't run properly no matter what I tried. So, it was a good reminder to me that electrical or mechanical devices can fail (did I say...

    SLIP System, Brad! I don't know what I would have done without mine up there in 2011 (rained 7 days straight)! And, it doubles as a decoy!

    Rokslide Weight loss/Weight gain goal thread

    I'm a little over 5'7", and I currently average around 170#. I do a lot of pushups and crunches throughout the course of a day, and I run treadmill on a grade for a half hour on my lunch break (I add a 30 pound pack a couple months before peak season). So I'm pretty muscular above the waist...
