    Favorite EDC 9mm

    My 19x is usually my go to with the 17 round mag in the gun during summer months and the 19 round mag during colder months. Switched the barrel out for Griffin ATM with micro comp and put a TLR 7-A on it. It has Trijicon suppressor sights on it for shooting suppressed at the range. I'm pretty...

    What is you hunting suppressor?

    I've had my AB Raptor 8 stack for a few months now. That thing sounds incredible compared to my other cans and at only 8 ounces, it's now my go to for hunting. It will be living on my Seekins Element 6.5 PRC for the duration of hunting season this year. I was really hoping, although false hope...

    Hydration Drinks

    Liquid IV for me. I also like the propel electrolyte powders too, particularly the pink lemonade.

    Best or Favorite Bow EVER

    Out of all the bows I've owned, I probably like my Mathews Z7 extreme the most. I regret selling it.

    July Iron Will Giveaway

    That drawing date of August 1st is just in time to put that new K2 to use on a nice chunky August sheep in the Wrangells, just saying.

    Lunch on the Mountain

    My on the go lunch typically consists of 2 JIF crunchy to go cups and scoop it out with two flat bread halves, 1 slice medium cheddar, 1 dark chocolate and almond Hershey's nugget and 1 oz. of old trapper original beef jerky. For those cold days of sitting behind the spotter I pack some...

    Ban Unit Numbers in Rokslide Threads

    While I don't particularly care for loose lip people blowing out good hunting areas, I can't say it really effects me that much as I'll just bust my ass to out hunt everyone else there. The saying that 10% of hunters kill 90% of the game holds true regardless of how many people are in an area.

    Mandrel vs Button vs bushing

    That's exactly how I'm doing it. Use a regular full length size die but with the decapping rod completely removed. After that I use the 21st century expander die then clean the sizing wax off in a tumbler, prime ,charge and seat bullets like normal. I prefer Hornady dies due to the bullet...

    Mandrel vs Button vs bushing

    Last year I switched from full length size with the neck expander installed to full length size with the decapping/neck expander assembly removed then follow up with a 21st century neck mandrel. Depending on the bullet and cartridge I'm loading I'll use a mandrel that is .002 or .0015 under the...

    I have a local dealer here in Alaska that gets shipments of them in every so often.

    If you could only have 1 rimfire rifle

    I really enjoy my 10/22 especially after I added a tacsol barrel, Magpul backpacker stock and Magpul red dot mount with a small red dot and obviously a suppressor because it's who doesn't like suppressed 22s. That said, if I could only have one rimfire, which is ridiculous, it would without a...

    Short barrel rifle options for suppressor at light mountain weight?

    AB Raptor 30 cal 8 stack. Nice and light and reasonably short and sounds incredible. I think it's like 8 oz and 6.3 inches or something like that. The Fieldcraft is wearing a Rugged Radiant until my AB Raptor 10 stack is approved.

    Short barrel rifle options for suppressor at light mountain weight?

    I just picked up an Element in 6.5 PRC. With a scope mounted, magazine in and a suppressor threaded on, it's only 7lbs 10 oz. Hard to complain about that and the length with a can is still pretty reasonable. Holding it in one hand and my wife's 22" 6.5 CM fieldcraft in the other, both with scope...

    CondensationLESS Tent heater for when near the truck

    The nuway is easy. You place the burner where you want, install the pipe and attach a hose to the stove and to a tank and its done.

    I'd pick the K2 ultralight skinning knife to use for sheep, goat and pack raft caribou hunts.

    CondensationLESS Tent heater for when near the truck

    Propane when burned creates carbon dioxide and water, it's just the way it is. I used to use a buddy heater in my arctic oven during early fall and the rain fly would have a ton of condensation on it. The nuway stove I use now prevents this because it vents through the stove pipe. I've also used...

    2022 Bear Success Thread

    I only hunt suppressed anymore. The main reason I started buying suppressors, is because I hunt and shoot with my daughter most of the time. I didn't want her to have bad hearing like me. I've since noticed plenty of other benefits to hunting suppressed, like shooting multiple animals in a group...

    Is it worth is to ever buy a new truck again vs maintaining your current one?

    I have a 2015 Sierra that has almost at 140k miles. I refuse to buy a new truck that is damn near the price of a small house, so I'm just maintaining what I have. I just replaced all of the suspension a few months ago and will probably rebuild or replace the transmission this winter. I'd rather...

    2022 Bear Success Thread

    It was a much slower year for us than usual. I'm guessing the amount of snow we had that lasted into the beginning June could be to blame. We still managed to shoot three bears on the last two days of hunting. So no complaints here. Two were with a suppressed 300 blackout, making that over a...
