    Youth outdoor book recommendations?

    Agree 100% with Pat McManus. We did a family reading when I got my first book, and I fell out of my chair crying from laughing so hard because he was describing me and all my acquaintances. Two Little Savages by Ernest Thompson Seton. Written in the early 1900s, its style is hard to read for...

    I'm happy to see kids making memories and doing something other than looking at electronics.

    Mercy kill?

    A friend's favorite cat got hit by a car. Broke its back. My friend knew it was a goner but didn't have the stomach to watch it suffer or to finish his pet, so he asked me to do it. Couldn't shoot in town, so a well placed blow with a club had to do the job. Nasty. I hope I never have to do...

    Any difference in "Ranger Green" between Exo, HPG and Kifaru?

    I only have an Exo in RG so can't help with comparison pictures. However, keep in mind that any color will show variations between material rolls. For instance, I currently have three pieces of mil-spec RG, all Cordura brand from the same source but purchased about a month between, and all what...

    Moving to Missoula, MT… bad idea?

    Maybe it's better down in the Bitterroot, but the never-ending gray inversions November through March in Missoula and north can seriously wear on the psyche. Summer smoke can be a drag, too. At least the paper mill doesn't stink anymore. Lots of good breweries and food to help deal with the...

    2023 MULE DEER OFFICIAL MEAT POLE THREAD

    Got my first CO muley. Thursday, high noon, 2006 Chevy Silverado, 0 yards, 65 mph, Highway 13, mile post 104. (Oops. Now i supose everyone will rush to my new honey hole.) The pack out wasn't too bad. Hoisted it onto the tow truck and dropped it off at the butcher.

    Great Falls, Montana - what to do there?

    Since my kids are usually along, our standards include Mighty Mo Brewery for good beer and pizza and McKenzie River Pizza. I'm not a fan, but Borries and 3Ds in Black Eagle are popular. Dante's was good last time I was there. Elevation 3300 is a newer place downtown. Good food and beer...

    The fur trade museum in Chadron is seriously worth a couple hours if you're in that area.

    Stone Glacier pack color discrepancy?

    This picture doesn't show true colors well, and its definitely too dark, but i hope it helps illustrate a point. Both are Govt color Tan 499, mil-spec Cordura brand 500 denier nylon, from the same source, but clearly two different rolls. The bottom piece is definitely tan while the other has a...

    Finishing cargo trailer interior

    I lined the walls and ceiling between ribs with 1" Styrofoam then mounted 1/8" white hardboard over that. In the top front where that stuff wouldn't work due to curves, I filled the gaps with spray foam. I'm considering get some low pile carpet to roll out on the floor and back door for...

    Backpack rifle carrier

    Western Edge Gear also has a simple carrier that will attach just about anywhere on a pack. It holds the stock, and the pack's compression straps keep the gun from slopping around.

    Older Kifaru Duplex Lumbar pad

    That slip-not is VERY grippy. Much more than what I've seen on Big K, SG, and Exo. I use it on my 22" frames, including my personal pack, and experience zero slippage. Rob, if you're not in a hurry, I may be able to help you out.
