    A family backpacking shelter

    Similar deal. I'm looking at the Kifaru 8 and 4 man teepees but with the lining for the condensation. Heavy (ish) with the lining, but we also have a dog so floorless works well for us. I think the weight just is, what it is unless you just want to pitch a tarp or two and sleep under that. I...

    Nutrition heresy: update, I was wrong

    Eat fat, burn fat. No one should be snacking constantly... except possibly children.

    Solo backpacking tarp

    For me yes, a tarp and bivvy are always in the pack. The weight isn't much and the applications are massive ranging from dorking out for mildly more comfort to life saving. They can work well for primary sleep systems as well of course. Ounces make pounds and pounds make pain...but equally...

    Survival/General purpose knife

    Yes, I do. A Swiss army knife farmer is a great multi tool option if you don't want pliers. If you want a lighter knife for wood processing for backpack hunting have a look at Mora. Made in Sweden, cheap as chips and they take a beating.

    “Alaska is Ours”

    No *nation* is going to invade the US. No nation has ever won, if invading Russia. Finland gave them a good go though, in the winter war and continuation war. The murder in Ukraine has been going on for 8/9 years and no one outside of the region cared, until it wasn't just the Ukrainian...

    “Alaska is Ours”

    You might notice Finland has become Russian territory in that poster to. Basically all of Peter the Greats empires land mass. Harking back to former glory. Tbf, to Russia have had money and assets stolen against international law from Russia, meaning a response of some sort will naturally...

    PSA Dont be these idiots...

    This was funny.. As well as everyone's stories I also liked the line from the OP link, "it's sunny in Texas!" Amazing. I chose not to take my phone/tech when out in nature, but I also take what I need. The rest is on me.

    How do we fix the access problem of eastern hunters?

    Fellas, what are some of the ways to find out what is public land in the States? State? Federal ? Forestry? And otherwise? Asking at state fish and game? USGS maps? One of the best ways in the UK is our version of USGS maps which is an OS Map, specifically an, OS Explorer map.

    For rats and squirrels alike I use duck feed as I already have it, and a small amount of peanut butter ontop, for the smell to draw them in. Once they know the duck feed is there, it's fine. Tbh, I try to run and gun more than bait and wait. I don't like sitting still. The baiting gives them...

    They certainly are. I use a 177 air rifle with good success. Fern traps. I need to get some live traps as well to increase my permissions, but haven't yet got round to it. I'm assuming with Reds in your area you have to use live traps, if trapping? Any you'd recommend? - Happy hunting.

    FORLOH pack launched today!

    I love Japanese tools. The Japs definitely get a pass on my list of top places to buy from. High trust, low crime society that brings hard work and high level of skill, finish and pride to what they do. Cars and carpentry tools are two categories I happily and regularly buy from Japan. And yes...

    FORLOH pack launched today!

    Mystery Ranch don't sell their berry compliant packs to civvies as far as I know . If I'm wrong no doubt you'll let me know. No, not only Americans. But I want my products made in my own country. Or my wife's country. The countries next to my country. Not from half way around the world. If that...

    Location, Quality of life, profession/trade or family? What single factor influences where you live?

    I spent six months in Hamburg, Germany as a 16 year old. Lovely country and people, very dry sense of humour. Breakfast was quality, just cold cuts and cheese. Wired cultural stuff around sex. It was like an aspect of the country and its soul was broken. That wired-ness is common place in...

    Location, Quality of life, profession/trade or family? What single factor influences where you live?

    It's no one factor but a balance of all of those issues. In saying that we are currently in the process of trying to move from Cumbria, UK to New England because the wife wants to be closer to her family. So family is high on the list. The hunting will be better to, England and British wildlife...

    Zero Drop Hunting Boot

    I've emailed every customer boot maker I become aware of asking if the could make me a pair of custom boots to natural biomechanics principles. I explain the ins and outs of it So far they all either don't respond, or decline. Perhaps if they got more requests they might look into investing...

    Zero Drop Hunting Boot

    I haven't had any issues, but my gaiters are British army gaiters. The strap that goes under the boot, gets tightened above, ontop of the laces.

    FORLOH pack launched today!

    Well done to Forloh for continuing to expand your range, and doing it the right way. American made products with American made materials. The pack setup looks good. Not modular at all, but it's design is basically very similar to the most popular set-ups with meny of the other top end packs...

    How are you doing with gray squirrels in your area? I know that they are being seen on Anglesey recently and the reds are suffering for it. They are getting pushed back here in the South Lakes. I shoot and trap them. One of the biggest issues I face is getting permissions, especially by smaller...
