    What is the “trail weight” of your spotting scope and tripod set up.

    6lb 1 oz for the Promaster xc525c (with the Promaster pan head) and 15-45x65 Athelon Ares (no cover). My Baush & Lomb 15-45x60 (with case) and Manfroto tripod is 4lb 7oz.

    How many of you Leverage you Gear insulation w/ your Sleeping bag

    EE Revelation quilt rated to 0F. Down to freezing i wear base layers. Down to a couple degrees below freezing I add a fleece top. Colder than that I wear my Uncompahgre jacket. I tend to sleep cold.

    Cheapest Spotter That's Worth Carrying

    I hunted for the past 14 years with a B & L Elite 15-45x60 (similar scope to the NIkon SLDMTN referenced). It was used on 3 successful Stone's hunt. In most conditions we had to be under 400 yards to age a ram. The sharpness deteriorated above 40x. Last year I ordered a 15-45x65 Vanguard...

    Rutting moose taste

    I've eaten meat from 20-25 different bull moose shot between Sept 10 and Oct 31. None had meat that tasted bad or rutted. There was big difference though in how tender they were...

    Who's gone from a down bag back to synthetic?

    Going from an untreated down Taiga bag to a treated down EE quilt I definitely noticed a reduction in loss of loft on a multi day trip that I got with the bag just from night time body moisture. I even dry out wet socks by wearing them at night and haven't experienced the loss of loft in the...

    Kifaru Supertarp for Northern BC

    I find that after the middle of August the bugs usually aren't too bad above tree line. I do use a Bora Gear bivi that has mesh that can be zipped over your head. 95% of the time I sleep with the mesh open.

    Anyone shooting a 7mm-08 Ackley improved?

    48.5gr of H4350 under a 140 Accubond going 2875fps from a 20” barrel. Also have a 120 TTSX over 42.5gr of H4895 for 3020fps. My 7-08 Ackley isn’t any faster than a standard 7-08 that has a 22” barrel... Long brass life and no trimming is nice. I’m getting 12 plus reloads before the primer...

    Whatever it takes

    Way to go Jimbob! Not many guys get a ram on their first trip (unguided) and solo to boot! Ram steaks are the best... How old was your ram - 8? Or is that a 9 yr ring at the hair line?

    Critique My Loadout?

    1/4 roll of mountain money is running slim IMO..... Tikka 270 or 7-08 - both shorter and lighter than 7 mag.

    Hi Jim last fall we used an Oware 11x11 mid for our caribou hunt: 2018 BC Caribou Trip It weighs 3lb with 12 orange Coleman 8" Y stakes and guylines. Tons of room for 3 plus our packs. We could have fit 4. While slightly smaller foot print then the Redcliff (132 vs 121 sq feet), it's...
