Thankfully my current dog isn't one to chew on or eat things she shouldn't (yet). Grew up with one that did and it was constant management, so learned this one early.
Thanks everyone. We're working on finding a place to get snake training and will be talking to a vet soon. Seems like the all "hunting" vets where I'm located have retired, so we'll probably end up with the recommended local vet. In any case, might also see if we can link into the regional...
That fluid film is a great protector, but it sure collects a lot of grime. Trying to put sliders on mine and now I have to clean off at the attachment points lol
Great rust prevention though, especially if you live in an area that salts heavy.
Any updates on this? I've been looking hard at this. I'm thinking the rincon + bivy will serve me better into later seasons than a getting tarp + bivy setup because of the stovejack. My only hangup is that I'm 6'4" and wondering if it'll be tight even though its a 2 man.
This is good to know too! It's probably better to hunt with what I have so I can invest in other things that will get me out in the field to see if I can even find any elk first, ha!
I'm looking at this exact set up for next year. Any updates? Only reservation I have is I could get a light tent with a bathtub floor for about the same $ and I imagine it will be more practical in later seasons.
This has been on my short list as I'm in the market for a solid backpacking tent that's not going to set me back 400. Stuck on whether to go 1p or spring for more room/more weight to be more comfortable for later season hunts.
Do you feel cramped in the 1p at all? I'm 6'4" 225 and kind of...
Great thread. In the market for a western hunting rifle. It'll be my first upgrade from a .270 used for whitetail hunting. Thinking I'll end up with 7mm rem mag over the .300 win mag, but all these responses are making that decision a bit more difficult!
I like how roomy it seems to be and the placement of the stovepipe, but my favorite part is that the system is just over 4 lbs total...
asssuming the drawing is still happening, count me in!
Down a deep shelter/sleep system rabbit hole and came across this Viam Bridger 2p tent. It seems to have some good qualities in a fairly light package and a competitive price. Does anyone have any experience with this tent?

That's good to know. Is this just because at that size he's got a better shot at surviving the amount of venom in an average bite? My dog is 60-65 lbs. Either way, finding a good vet to talk to about it is on my agenda.
