    Weighted Vest Running

    I didnt mean to mislead the thread and should have been more specific on the front end. I was referring to doing hill climbs/uphill short sprints with a weighted vest on. Not long distance running. My reference was that I run a lot and I also hike/ruck with a pack on a lot. Just seemed like a...

    Weighted Vest Running

    Hey all, Ive been a runner for a long time. I typically am either running or backpacking (with weight). I'd like to start incorporating a weighted vest into my runs but am curious as to how much weight to start with. I would imagine starting on the lighter side and working your way up? I just...

    Programs that don’t need gym access or weights

    I do this routine every single day (sometimes not all at once) and it has helped my whole body fitness incredibly. Jumprope for 2 mins then 25 burpees. Go through that 4 times. Its a great workout that gets you sweating quick and uses your whole body. 8 mins of cardio jumprope total and 100...

    Need Trail Running Show Advice

    I trail run a lot and my two cents is to look at the Altra Lone Peaks (promote solid running form and are suuuper comfy with the toe box) and also the Hoka Speedgoat. They are very very different shoes but both have a spot IMO. The lone peaks, as mentioned, really make you stick to your form...

    My AZ archery 2020 Bull

    Congrats! That is a sweet looking bull. Way to bust your ass and push through as well. You will have an extra bounce in your step this winter and spring knowing that you put in the hard work and it paid off. Well done

    The ‘Doorway’

    Yah that is awesome. Honestly I know the ElkNut has a big following on here (rightfully so and yes I have the app) but I first heard Chris Roe talk about this a few years back on Jay Scott's podcast. When I heard it, it made complete sense to me as I was one of the people who would consistently...

    Gun Safe Question

    Hey all, I have two handguns and need a better safe for them. I have an old safe that isnt fireproof/floodproof and am looking for a smaller safe to keep in the bedroom closet that will comfortably hold my firearms (only handguns), some ammo, and also important home documents should the place...

    Wyoming elk

    Congrats! I was in Wy for two weeks and had a couple close calls but no filled tag. Was a rough year with how hot and dry it was. Very little bugling compared to previous years. Adaptability is the name of the game and we struggled to capitalize. Well done to all who did well in Wy this year!

    Chilkoot 15 vs Kifaru Slick Bag 20

    Take my answer with a grain of salt as I have not used the zero. That being said, the 20 has been fine for me in Sept/October hunts. I actually just got back from hunting up high in WY and there were several nights in the high teens/low 20s and I was absolutely fine in socks, long johns and a...

    Chilkoot 15 vs Kifaru Slick Bag 20

    Its been outstanding. I have had the slickbag for about a year and a half now and its been worth its weight in gold. Last year I was in Wyoming hunting elk in September and it was pouring rain the whole time. Not only was I wet the entire hunt but so was everything in my tent. Each night Id get...

    Rotten Death Smell

    My pack smelled so bad by the end of last year that I thought it was ruined. I tried "everything." What ended up working is filling up a bathtub with hot water and three scoops of oxyclean. I filled the tub to where the whole pack was covered. I then let it soak for a day before scrubbing with a...

    Your upcoming elk hunt...

    For those of us who are headed out into the elk woods this year...it is very close!! A few days for some in fact. I'm headed to Wy for two weeks mid-September. Having my coffee this morning I was thinking about the things that I feel very confident in this year vs the things that my nerves are...

    BaseMap vs Go hunt mapping

    I have no experience with Base Map. I have been a lifelong Onx user and have been relatively pleased (especially as the app has developed and dependability has increased). I am also a Gohunt subscriber. What I can say after being able to mess around with the gohunt mapping is that if it...

    First Elk Hunt

    I hunted Wyoming elk last year with my wife and it was so fun. Its really cool that you can both get out there. Makes it even more awesome when you hear about a lot of guys complaining that their wives get mad when they leave. You've got a keeper!

    First Elk Hunt

    Great attitude. There's no adventure like elk hunting and especially being in the woods in September. You're making a great first step. There are a lot of people (even on here) who talk about getting out into the elk woods only to overthink it and miss out on the fall and "are planning next...

    Elk hunt decision

    Awesome you are able to get back out there. IMO, especially with CO OTC, is to stay away from the drop camp. Thats 2k that doesn't have a high probability of working out. If it were me, I would definitely put in the time from my own base camp area with the ability to be mobile and move (which in...
