    Sold Uncharted Rapid Raft, never used

    Uncharted Rapid Raft packraft V2. Never used in the water, filled up a few times at home. Has the patch kit and extra buckle but not in the original box. It does take some technique to fill it up and close the roll-top opening tight enough to hold air for long periods of time. Check out the...

    The Best Money Can Buy

    Depends how he likes to hunt and what type of guns he's into, but if money were no object and shorter-range hunts for hogs or anything out of blinds is on the menu in the future, a nice double rifle might be an option. Those can be frustrating but rewarding projects, or you can buy one already...

    Private Pilot License advice and info

    What did you build? I'm blown away by people who have the dedication to complete a homebuilt airplane. My 2 cents: I got a private license years ago and absolutely loved it. Joined a flying club and at the time it wasn't nearly as expensive even given inflation, etc.. My decision to stop...

    Shrubs, bushes/tree for visual blocking?

    Don't know if they would work in NW MT, but in SW MT caraganas grow pretty quickly and deer don't touch them in our yard. They take zero maintenance and make a nice, thick hedge. Hybrid poplars grow like crazy without too many shoots. Aspens obviously, but they destroy a yard w/shoot popping...

    Killing illegal grizzly cheaper than legal?

    That's all I used in my 270 ADL for almost 30 years, 130 grain, and they worked like a charm!

    Pack raft frame ?

    DIY packrafts are fun projects at the right time in life, but IMHO the Alpackas and Pristine Ventures that AKDoc showed are well worth the price. The value per dollar is pretty amazing. The Forager you're buying is self bailing, too! Alpackas are very well made and you can still customize...

    Pack raft frame ?

    I haven't done it but would like to do a very small one, just for the seat vs. the current inflatable one. Here's one from the DIY packraft list of pictures: https://www.diypackraft.com/forums/topic/diy-packraft-photos/ and look at June 14, 2021

    Snowpack not looking very good :(

    I'm surprised it's as high as it is in SW Montana, thought it would be way lower. Lot's of season to go but it's been a light precip year for sure.

    Any 10x Bino Folks Around?

    Thanks for sharing that. Your or someone else posted something similar quite a while ago and makes good sense. I've had 10x42 and will look at 50s if/when I change. Also, gives reason to consider 8x when looking at a smaller/compact pair.

    In defense of Vortex optics

    I've never used Vortex and have friends who swear by them. Plus, it seems like they've developed a fire control system (fancy phrase for some weapon optics now a days in DOD**) for the next gen squad weapon. I hope they won the award vs it being a plus up from an Wisconsin congressional. If...

    Badger fights to the death.

    No and I regret it. They were shot mostly in the summer quite a ways off the road. Hope to get one in the near future and tan the hide, clean the skull.
