    Cheap Stuff that Works

    Someone has probably mentioned the Mora companion knife. Easy to sharpen, comfortable tacky grip, inexpensive, and holds an edge pretty well.

    Cheap Stuff that Works

    It is a thinner blade and sharpens easily and seems to stay sharp for plenty long enough. I haven't done any big game animals with it, just fox, lynx and coyote. I wouldn't have any reservations using it on deer size game. But since it is more of a spear point shape, it might not be ideal for...

    Looking for ideas for a DIY smokehouse

    I am wanting to build a smokehouse for hot/cold smoking of game meat and fish. I have an older small wood stove I could use, and I'm thinking of building a box or cabinet and running the stovepipe up into the bottom of it. What is the best material to use for the smoker box for both longevity...

    Cheap Stuff that Works

    I'm all about blue collar shopping for gear. For cleaning optics I bought a small soft makeup brush for a few bucks and a little bottle of spray lens cleaner with a microfiber cloth at an office supply store. It works well and alot cheaper than the big name branded stuff. When skinning...

    Numb toe

    I experienced the same thing after a heavy pack and many miles last season. It cleared up after 10-12 months.

    Has anyone been shot at while hunting?

    Yes, intentionally shot "at", or at least in our direction in attempt to run us out of an area. I was in high school and we were duck hunting. Boated in, had camp set up, and at some point during the hunt we had bullets whizzing right through our camp, around us, over our heads. It was no doubt...

    Son's first big game tag, Advice for a demanding father.

    My dad has been with the Lord for 15 years now. Man does that strike a chord. Let him have fun being a kid. Gently guide, instruct and help him learn to safely experience the outdoors without becoming overbearing and harsh. Lots of praise. Be sure that praise and compliments outweigh...

    Anybody tried a Coleman minibike?

    Is the Coleman too much for an average size 10 year kid?

    Anybody tried a Coleman minibike?

    I see those minibikes at Sportsman's and wonder how durable they are and how long they would last. Might be a fun ride for a younger kid to get out on some trails. Has anybody tried one?

    Boot Fix Glue

    I had a 10+ year old pair of Meindl boots start to separate at the sole last year and called up Meindl for recommendations on how to fix them. They said they use Boot Fix Glue. It is akin to super glue, but stays flexible after drying. I got some from Amazon and it seems to work pretty well. The...

    Which for the 10x Itch?

    After comparing the Maven B6 10x50, Kowa Genesis 10.5x44 and GPO Passion HD 10x42 I decided to keep the GPO's. They are all of excellent optical quality, and honestly, I could hardly tell any difference between them in various conditions and time of day. I really could have been happy with all...
