    Need an budget sleeping bag

    I am getting geared up for a mid September elk hunt in southern CO, camping around 10,000 ft. I am on a tight budget and am looking for a 0-20 deg mummy bag. So far I have narrowed my choices down to: Kelty Tuck 0 Sleeping Bag REI Co-op Trailbreak 20 sleeping bag. Kely Mistral 20 Sleeping bag...

    Best water filter pump

    I have always been happy with the Katadyn Hiker. The MSR MiniWorks is a solid filter too and is what we used 99% of the time in BoyScouts back in the early 2000s.

    Older bow

    For that price they better paper tune the bow to a bullet hole and fit you with the proper peep location etc.

    The sad irony is when you walk past them they look at YOU like you are weird for being kitted out with actual hiking gear and a pack.

    We did a really cool Llama hike with an outfit down in New Mexico a few years ago and the guy was an avid outdoorsman. Once on the trail we started talking and I asked where he was from and he said downtown New York. He basically said urban areas have the exact same mindset as the wild. There...

    Traeger vs Smoker

    The gauge of metal they use on their grills is pretty pitiful as well. You are basically paying for the name with those.

    "Yeah, no injuries I am all good... I actually was wondering if you could airlift this elk out of here? You boys like jerky right???"

    Its crazy how even the smallest set of events can lead to disaster. I used to work for a lady who had a husband that like to take a piss outside when he was drinking. It was a freezing Chicago night and he was up late by himself and got pretty drunk. He went out back to take a piss and fell on...

    Traeger vs Smoker

    I personally really like the Kingsford Hickory Pellets because its actually the wood on the label. Be careful buying pellets as there is a lot of BS Advertising. They will say "Hickory 100% Hardwood Pellets" or "Hickory Blend" which really means its a small amount of Hickory and the rest...

    Traeger vs Smoker

    I have a Costco Louisiana Grill and I already had to replace the temp sensor on it. Other than that it works well for cooking chicken and salmon etc. The problem with pellet grills for smoking is even at low temps the bottom grates can overcook the meat and the space on the top rack is very...

    Wow, Craigslist opportunity

    As soon as I learned you can save and export waypoints from OnX I have been waiting for someone to ask a member to 'share' theirs.

    That is the first thing I tell people coming to CO. Ignore the weather forecast, storms will hit or they wont any day and you need to be ready for them. Also, it can be sunny in one spot and quarter size hail a half mile away. I had a similar thing happen at Mt Hermann last year on my...

    On a lighter note. Back in Boy Scouts we were on a summer backpacking trip and a kid somehow forgot his sleeping bag. Anyway he ended up putting on a few jackets and put his legs in his pack. Then he got clever and waited for someone else to take a piss in the night and would sneak over and get...

    The problem is people go to places like Disney Land then come to Colorado and think they can bring the same mindset that things will somehow be catered to them.

    I will have to check out that book. I never set foot in the woods unless I have gear to be able to spend the night. I dont like being in survival situations, I prefer 'Surprise Camping'
