    DIY Electrolyte Mix?

    The large majority of lifestyles are likely not going to get enough magnesium and potassium with the common western lifestyle and diet. The source of sodium certainly does matter. There are sources of sodium that should be avoided for various reasons. Table salt is highly processed and stripped...

    Pack dilemma

    No. We are talking about different things. I’m talking about correct load lift angle. The height of the frame properly coordinated with your torso length will determine the correct load lifter angle. I consistently see too short of frames and ill fitted packs in pictures on the internet as well...

    Pack dilemma

    It’s certainly a functional difference. Load lift vs. no load lift is functionally different.

    Pack dilemma

    This is certainly a real problem for many, that has not been solved efficiently. Nonetheless, a few of the top tier pack companies have attempted a solution. None to my satisfaction and obviously others. I’m still waiting. Height of frame is a critical piece of the puzzle regarding pack comfort...

    DIY Electrolyte Mix?

    Interesting thread. After reading through the aforementioned ingredients, my challenge to those willing, would include a study of human biological science from the correct sources. Sugar (of various sources), Sucralose, Maltodextrin and various other “condiments” will never be a good idea in an...

    What a pack probably should not look like

    With your post void of many details, I can reply with certainty, that your overall pack weight is too heavy. Even with the minor details posted later (dropping weight at a trailhead), this number begs detailed scrutiny. Rest assured, virtually any mountain hunt with a 14 day budget can easily...

    Do You Sleep With Your Food in Bear Country?

    Yes I sleep with my food and my meat next to me. I don’t want bears messing with it. I’ve been doing this for 30 years all over Alaska.

    Drop offset holster

    I actually had to draw quickly on a bear charge a few weeks ago while I was out taking one of my Glocks for a walk. I like the location of the holster for a natural draw.

    Best internal frame daypack

    The SG Avail is great for your described needs. I really like it myself. I also remove the belt and shoulder straps at times and attach it to the X-Curve for a SG version of a Kifaru Stryker.

    The Shoot2hunt Podcast

    Coastal Alaska is hard on everything. Various coatings are helpful for the exterior. 400 series stainless still has plenty of iron in it. Taping the muzzle is popular but that is primarily for debris. Water/saltwater still gets in the barrel from the action. Water getting trapped in a taped...

    Fasting

    Absolutely. Every human body can and will use fat for fuel, at some level and at some point. There are a lot of variables to when, how much and from where. Most certainly, humans consuming the common American (western) diet are using carbohydrates as a primary fuel source. Their body does not...

    Fasting

    Interesting on making your own. Yes “clean” is definitely the key word. Many products are certainly not.

    Fasting

    Almost certainly your body is fairly carb adapted/reliant. Transitioning to becoming fat adapted is almost essential to becoming successful at fasting. It can be very difficult if you are not. That means slowly weaning yourself off of carbohydrates as the primary fuel source. That transition is...

    Fasting

    You will likely dilute your electrolytes (minerals) drinking copious amounts of pure water. That can lead to a lack of energy and feeling ill. Most will need clean, high quality electrolyte supplements when fasting. A pinch of clean sea salt in a glass of water will work wonders also. Most gum...

    Fasting

    I fast frequently. I became fat adapted quite a few years ago and consume minimal to no carbohydrates. If one is carb adapted (which is anecdotally 90% of our western society), it can be difficult to fast. Feeling ill or “hitting a wall” is almost certain. Body’s will crave glucose because it...
