    Sharpening knives?

    I got the Mini adamas a few months ago (cruwear) first auto I’ve had and it’s been a great knife, I would not hesitate to use it on a deer, and it’s a burly knife

    Sharpening knives?

    That guided field sharpener is a good tool for the job, it’s just so hard to keep meat and fat from fouling the diamond. Need to get the blade really clean before you start, because when the sharpener gets fouled up with meat and fat, it’s not going to get sharp, the diamond stone won’t cut...

    Victory Spine Alignment Up or Down. Does it matter??

    The couple dozen victories I’ve used had to be nock tuned, the spine marks didn’t mean anything that I could tell

    What's wrong with more grizzlies in Idaho?

    Has anyone read the study they did in Oregon at some point about lions in the east side of the state? I don’t remember the details of the study, but what really stood out to me was a lion had an average of 12hrs with their kills before a black bear would take it… I can’t imagine that number...

    Sharpening knives?

    I like sharpening, but I assume the like for sharpening is a byproduct of my dislike for dull knives I don’t really care for diamonds, they scratch the edge, they’re too grabby new, and not grabby enough after a fairly short “prime” my primary sharpening system is the Norton tri hone, then...

    Getting that 100lb pack from the ground onto your back

    That’s almost always my method, lift the pack onto something and go from there. I have had to do the turtle approach a few times, but is certainly more difficult to get stood up and feels like I’m going to wreck my pack

    What's wrong with more grizzlies in Idaho?

    That’s pretty much the gist imo, I would never trust the government to allow proper management, even if they tried, they would be buried in a pile of lawsuits, that’s how the opposition operates. What benefit is there to introducing another predator to the landscape? There is no overpopulation...

    Laponia discontinued

    Are they any different than the original lapponia? I have the lapponia 2’s and have been extremely impressed so far, over a full year in and still completely dry, and I have put a lot of miles on them I think I would want the new lites rather than the lapponia 3, i just don’t want to...

    Gag gift ideas

    Are there honestly gag gifts that are pg13? I have several pics of friends receiving gag gifts over the summer, but none of them would not get me banned. Well, maybe one… I hooked my buddy up with some sweet boat decor

    Where do Big Bucks end up during Christmas? SW Oregon youth hunt advice!!

    They will be on good feed, and if there are a lot of does in the area, you might see some rut activity around the first… in high populations of deer, I have seen some pretty good rut behavior on which I assume is the 3rd cycle I would focus on food, and pay attention to sign, bucks need...

    Form struck someone’s nerve

    Maybe the worst, assumptions you passed on to others, to question that, you have to go out of your way. I have always liked proving myself wrong, do that enough and you pretty much have to accept that you don’t know that much. What bugs me is taking so long to figure something out that was in...

    Traditional vs Elope

    I would leave that up to the lady, and the vast majority would pick traditional wedding. I think that’s a pretty important compromise we should make for them, because it’s a big deal to them I don’t plan on doing it a second time 😉 so it’s worth it to make that day special for them, it’s...

    Rain/hard shell woes for non-chonky fellas

    It’s also pretty short in the arms, the Yukon is my go to I’m also a skinny build and hate stuff with short arms. If the kutana was cut like the chugach or Yukon, it would be my all around favorite, but the arms are too short, so Yukon it is

    .223, 6mm, and 6.5 failures on big game

    What cartridge? I have used and watched used quite a few TA critters in the 6.5creed and have had pretty good results, wound channels somewhere between an accubond and match bullet. The only one that didn’t make an impressive wound was a low shot on a big bear that didn’t hit anything hard. Also...

    Black Ovis Mesa Hoodie

    I didn’t know this hoodie existed until I saw it on camofire recently, when I saw the fabric weight and it being 75$, I was on it. I will probably get a second, because I’m going to wear the heck out of it. Extremely warm and comfortable, it’s oddly comfy for a hoodie The only thing I don’t...
