    Bugle Report

    NW MT - crickets all last week save 1 bull that bugled on his own. Ended up downthermal from me on his own (lost track of him and was waiting for thermals to shift to work him) and that shut things down. Hoping things pick up this week.

    Elk / turkey reed bomb proofing

    It's a consumable product. When mine get water logged, i switch out. I usually go through 2-3 a day and swap the calls out to dry. My personal plan is to always have 4 diaphragms to rotate through the day. If the tape is too rigid, it won't seal. So it has to be flexible. I chew the tape...

    Several fellas have sacrificed all or a portion of an under shirt/t- shirt out of necessity, due to digestive disruptions to normal processing. Trifecta preparation for all circumstances, disruptive or otherwise, TP, wet wipes, and a few sections of soft heavy duty paper towels, combined with...

    Showers out in the Field

    The weed sprayer and a kitchen sprayer combo is money. Extra points if you paint it black and the sun heats the water, but not required. A light rubber floor mat to stand on keeps your feet clean. Mine are all 1 gallon. Fill half ish full of boiled water and top off with water from the jug...

    Would you risk it?

    Throw a bag or two of charcoal in after cleaning, replace as necessary. Had worked in the past for others i know.

    Bullet tip recoil damage? Tikka 30-06

    Not unusual at all. Back in the day old lead tipped spire points would almost look like mushrooms. One of the gun magazines did a profile piece testing such bullets. Conclusion was, iirc, out to nominal distances (300-400 yds) in hunting applications (8"/ whitetails) in an accurate rifle (1...

    Anyone ever had a cooler seize closed from altitude pressure change?

    Yes my RTIC did in storage. Temp diff i think. Going over a pass i had a jug of ATF fluid rupture. That was fun.

    Short-Term Memory Loss "Solutions?"

    How's your stress level. Buddy of mine retired a few years ago and noticed about 6 months later his memory had improved. Significant reduction in stress is what he attributed it to.

    101 ways to ruin a tent

    Uh yea, don't try to vacum the inside of the tent with a floor vacuum. That roller brush melts nylon in a hurry! Lol BTW, tire patches hold real good, 20 years now!

    Story time

    A black bear can move like a wraith, cover further distance than a mountain lion, and can move a while lot faster than their size would seem to indicate!

    Probably Going Crazy, But Looking for Suggestions

    OP, there is a possibility you are contending with an element of spiritual warfare within your home. That may be an idea worth investigating for you and your family.

    Tent recommendation

    I've played the sleep under a tarp game, when WX is ideal, works fine. I've played the fancier structure tarp game MSR Twin Peaks/Mountainsmith LT. Again, when WX is good, works fine. I like some room. I like simple. I like double wall. I like flexibility. And I like robust. I really...

    WA Black Bear Predator Calls?

    Elk calf on a diaphragm has worked for me before. The only thing seems to be, at least in my experience, they can lose interest pretty quickly so I felt I needed to call more often to keep them coming into range.

    PEAX SOLITUDE 4 TIPI GIVEAWAY

    Crosstrek Stabilization, increases rigidity and I suspect useable space. The X-pac reinforcement is a good idea too I think. The idea of the footprint is pretty cool as well.
