    New FNG from Texas

    Welcome bcjoe, may you find all your hunting heart desires here. Warning, Rokslide is not responsible for the amount of additional money you're about to spend now, lol.

    Pack/Gear Shakedown

    Thanks fo rthe feedback. I need to look into the Maven binos too. Is your set range finding? I don't currently have a range finder so I am thinking of combining the two. By the way, than you for your review of the Sitka Ambient 100 hoody. It was my main outwear for most of our seven days up...

    mountain goats hanging out with bighorn sheep

    I experienced a blessing this year on the last day of our elk hunt while watching over a portion of a meadow. I was staring at this rocky peak and decided to use my binos and found about seven or eight bighorn sheep about 200 yards down from the peak to the right where it sorta flattens out...

    Pack/Gear Shakedown

    Are you still liking your RYO harness for your binos? I just spent five days wearing my original SG bino harness and had to quit wearing it on day five due to it contributing to my neck/shoulder pain which happens every year. I have 10x42 binos but may possibly go to 10x32 range finding binos...

    Men’s Mental Health Challenge

    lyle_destroys, thanks for posting this topic, it's truly relevant to us all whether we want to admit it or not. I live for serving the Lord and bringing Him all the glory I can. I state this because serving the Lord is the basis for my mental state. The closer I stay to Him, the Lord Jesus, the...

    Crispi Sole Separation

    Bummer to hear that, I like your fix idea though. I think pretty highly of my two pair of Crispis but I'll keep a watch out for any issues. Going hunting next Thursday.

    Pain on bottom of toes

    I noticed a couple weeks ago when I hiked in to an area for scouting, about five miles with about 66 lbs on my pack, my feet were somewhat sore which is pretty unusual for me with my Crispi Colorado boots. Two things that probably contributed to it were the hardness of the trail from a lack of...

    Talk to your children :(

    I am so very sad to hear this story sir, may our Lord bring His peace to your family for this time. I saw a story that the govenrment did a study and found that social media was dangerous! As if they needed a study instead of looking at the evidence of decline in mental health for children. It's...

    Game Bag Recs

    I use Caribou Gear Wapti boned out bags. They clean up real nicely with bleach or stain remover in the wash. Black Ovis usually has the same sales as Camofire but at a slightly cheaper price and free shipping over $50.00 I believe. And they have nice reflective tags on them.

    Has your dog been injured?

    $2500.00 vet bill for emergency surgery two years ago after my three yr old lab slid her rear lower leg over the edge of metal landscape edging and it tore her open about 5 inches. Thankfully it didn't cut into the tendon. No more metal edging now.... chocolate lab in AK broke his back sometime...

    Garmin inReach user question

    Have you tried using the Earthmate App for it? I just used mine two weeks ago in the mountains and was able to send text messages with the Earthmate app from my phone and I made waypoints etc.

    Rain Gear in October - Idaho Backpack Elk Hunt

    I carry mine anytime I'm on the mountain. Last year, first week of September mule deer hunt, the wind was roaring terribly all night my first night (like 50-70mph guess outflow winds from Sangre De Cristo mountains) so the next morning the temps were way colder than I expected when I went to bed...
