    Iridium vs Globalstar satellites

    Until iPhone can send and receive messages and SOS passively without murdering my battery, I’ll continue carrying an inreach. Being able to push SOS and know a message will eventually get out or receive a message from my family for an emergency even if I’m not deliberately connecting to a...

    Tent recommendations

    I have camped in my Softopper with a buddy heater to warm up the mornings. It works just fine. You absolutely need to get a rok blok tailgate seal kit otherwise everything in the back will be covered in dust. This goes for any camper shell. Another option would be a Gazelle pop up tent.

    Knife Sharpeners for the Unskilled

    Do you use any different process for the havalons? I tried to sharpen them but couldn’t get a great edge compared to what I could do with my other knives, certainly nowhere near how sharp they are new.

    Constantly Swirling Wind

    The crazy part is this just wasn’t one spot. We went up different mountains every day, most were 5+ miles from each other. A couple were 20 miles away.

    Constantly Swirling Wind

    So what I’m hearing so far is: We eventually just decided we were going to go where we wanted to go and hope for the best.

    Constantly Swirling Wind

    The bulk of our 8 day Colorado archery hunt had swirling winds. I’m talking wind going all four cardinal directions sometimes in a 10-20 minute period. It was only stable for 2-3 hours in the morning. Once the sun came out, it was all over the place. Didn’t matter if we were in dark timber...

    Lighter recoiling elk rifle

    How would your 300WM suppressed compare to something like a 308, 270, or 6.5 unsuppressed?

    Prevailing wind vs thermals

    That’s what I had in Colorado this year, and it was a nightmare. Wind would stop and thermals would stake over. Cloud goes over the sun and wind takes over. And then it would randomly go north and south too. Sorry, I’m no help lol

    Kuiu Pro LT Expereince?

    I have a KUIU 4000 LT and an EXO K4 5000 and have also had a K2 with K3 suspension. The K2/K3 and KUIU are comparable, and I’d take the KUIU due to weight savings. That said, the K4 is substantially better at carrying heavy weight. The KUIU loses comfortability at 55-60#. I’ve had 118 pounds...

    MO Public Land Whitetail; 118# Pack out

    Yes. Like many other states, proof of sex (ballsack lol) needs to be attached to the meat. I haven’t dragged a deer in four years and never will again.

    Dealer Included Lifetime Powertrain Warranties

    Is that the oil pan that requires something like removing the engine to replace?

    Dealer Included Lifetime Powertrain Warranties

    Some dealers will include lifetime powertrain warranties on new and nearly new used vehicles. Have any of you actually tried to use one of these warranties, and if so, how was your experience?

    Who has left GAIA and what did you switch to?

    I recently found out the original founders of GAIA are starting a new app called Goat Maps. I have signed up for the beta and will be trying that along with CalTopo.

    Who has left GAIA and what did you switch to?

    Thank you. I’ll check it out. Does it have Google Maps/Earth imagery?

    Who has left GAIA and what did you switch to?

    I do have a lot of tracks and waypoints, but I don’t think that is the issue. I did a Google Earth import last month of over 700 waypoints from my eScouting (yes, I go overboard) and that synced in like 10 seconds to my phone and the app worked flawlessly for 10 days of hunting after that. It...

    Who has left GAIA and what did you switch to?

    I’m like three serious glitches deep right now…I can’t sync anything, tracking doesn’t work unless I leave the screen on and the app crashes if tracking is on and let the screen go off, and a decent number of times I can’t get any layer to load (it is either stuck on whatever was there last or...

    Who has left GAIA and what did you switch to?

    Thank you. So BaseMap is probably the next one I’m going to try as it is the only other one I know of where I can get Google Maps imagery. Have any additional notes comparing the two?
