    Who uses the UDAP Bear Fence?

    I used mine the first few times with the supplied grounding rod. Up here in AK that 6 inch rod sometimes just barely got through the tundra layer to solid ground. If I set it up right and made sure no grass or bushes were touching the fence around the perimeter, I could get around 6K volts...

    ATV brakes don’t work. Help plz

    Hand lever cables for the rear brakes are cheap, yours is probably seized. The lever itself being seized doesn't make sense to me, all it probably is is a pin with a cotter pin holding it onto the handle bars. I imagine that's a rear drum, do the brakes stop the wheeler when you depress the...

    Creek Crossing Shoes

    Another vote for crocs. If worried about pack space just strap em to the outside of your pack, who cares if they get wet.

    Planning Family Alaska Trip

    You cannot take the bus in Denali down the road very far now, the road has a landslide at Polychrome and I think the buses only go to Teklanika, which isn't very conducive to seeing much wildlife or country. You would be disappointed IMO. I used to work in the park, the beginning of the park...

    New Alaska Draw System Idea

    I enjoy the thought of having the exact same odds as everyone else each year I put in. I have been putting my wife in for a decade and she has never won once, but she still has the same shot as everyone else, that's why I keep throwing my money into the hat each year. It sucks to get skunked...

    Judging a moose antler size

    I always used 10" outside eye socket to outside eye socket and am usually spot on or within an inch or two.

    New Alaska Draw System Idea

    No, I don't want my kids to be screwed over waiting to pull valuable tags for decades because some people too fat/old to hunt the tag when they win it have a million points in front of them. Leave it random.

    2022 Alaska Draw results

    Oh we know! Family of 6, 4 can put in for the draw - it gets expensive quick maxing out moose tags alone.

    6mm /.243 hunting success on Big Game

    That was 22 years ago. Spring bear hunt on snowgos in the Talkeetna mountains with my dad before I left for the Navy. We rolled by miles of mountain ranges looking for a set of tracks that made a beeline from the top to the bottom of the mountains, finally spotted such a set near our turn...

    Hot Tent Camping With Kids

    My 14 year old recently burned himself on a wood stove, my 37 year old wife just burned her arm baaaad last winter on a stove pipe, you can shield them all you want and it could still happen. When they are little it isn't about them knowing, but you being vigilant. Listening to an inconsolable...
