    Utah at it again?

    Yes, absolutely great people and good moral values. My mother still lives there and I'm out there quite often. But, it has been said that the people are - due to certain religious influences - collectively rather naive. Which is why a lot of people might prefer to have a larger voting group...

    Utah at it again?

    I like visiting my land in Utah. :o Seriously, I grew up on the Wasatch Front and, while the land is beautiful, by the time I was 17 I'd had enough and volunteered to jump from airplanes to get out. My dad was a college professor and advisor to a Utah Governor in the 1970s, and I learned that...

    Hi Joel, is this offer related to the trade-in deal on used equipment? Can multiple items (lenses, camera bodies, etc.) be traded in for a new Sony item or items? Thanks, Eric

    Tarptent Question

    I've used a Protrail extensively for two years. I backpack year-round in Colorado, including archery and muzzleloader hunts. The Protrail is excellent. Super light, easy to set up and durable. I've used it during all four seasons. For archery hunts, I find that around mid-September the nights...

    Anyone live in Montrose, CO?

    I've lived next door, just across the county line in Delta County for three years and have done a lot of work in Montrose. I'm a little more spread out now, living part of the time in Delta County as well as the San Luis Valley. Montrose is full of outdoor sports-loving people. Lots of...

    That MSR sounds legit.

    MTN Ops use and recommendations

    Physical fitness, drinking lots and lots and lots of water, and eating good whole foods. And then some motrin as needed. The human body has adapted to eating real food for tens of thousands of years, not supplements.

    Switching to 8x32 Binoculars

    For backpacking I love my 8x32 ELs. Many of our fathers hunted their entire lives with 7 power binoculars, and filled the freezer every year.

    Knight Ultra-Lite: 2 Broken Ramrods

    Beararms, I've settled on using the very light stock rod provided with the Knight Ultralight for field use. Knight sent a couple of them to me so it was an easy decision to make. I would never trust that rod for heavy cleaning or range duty but it's super light and fits the weapon. I keep the...

    Hilleberg into the trash....MSR comes off the bench!

    Dang, I've kept an Akto around for several years specifically because it's been such a good performer in conditions that wet-out a lot of other, generally lighter tents. I'll use a tarp or Tarptent model the first half of September and then switch to the Akto for those cold nights at timberline...

    TarpTent Moment DW

    Thanks, both of you for your comments. I have a ProTrail and a Hogback. I've never had any condensation in the Hogback, even when I take my wife and two small boys backpacking. The Hogback is really open and well ventilated, which can also make it somewhat drafty if there is any wind. My...

    This was my concern. Thanks Randy

    EE Revelation Length

    Can't help with the sizing, but I love my EE Revelation. My only comment would be to go one level warmer than you think will keep you comfortable. If you would normally backpack with a 20 degree sleeping bag, then go with the 10 degree EE quilt. I just find they don't keep me as warm as the temp...

    TarpTent Moment DW

    I'm looking at the TarpTent Moment DW for late-September elk hunts in Colorado. I've been using a ProTrail, and it's great, but the ProTrail suffers from condensation when temperatures start dropping. The Moment DW is only 34oz for the double-wall version. If you have a Moment DW, how does it...

    Dropping Pack While Elk Hunting

    This. I don't know why some guys take their boots off for a stalk. Not necessary if you are going super slow. The same reasoning applies to leaving your pack behind.

    Dropping Pack While Elk Hunting

    Come to think of it, if Kifaru offered blaze orange for their pack bags I'd buy one.

    Dropping Pack While Elk Hunting

    A standard mountaineering rule is " never become separated from your pack." I broke the rule once during a close stalk on a bull elk. I killed the elk and then had to waste 30 minutes in a grid search of a wooded area to find the pack, a Kifaru foilage green pack that blended in with the...
