    New MR Ultra Light frame vs guide lite

    I saw mystery ranch dropped a new frame system. I currently own a Sawtooth with the older Guide Lite MT frame. I want to get the new Gravelly 18 add on bag and am trying to decide how it’ll attach since it’s designed for the new Ultra lite frame. Anyone have one of the new systems yet? I’m not...

    Long lasting boots

    What have you all found to be the best built boots? I prefer to use high end hunting boots for work (I’m a landscaper), but it’s pretty hard on footwear. So far, I found a pair of Lowas to be fantastic, but wonder what else may be a good option. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    6+ man hot tent options??(not a Seek)

    I know when you add in gear and a stove you’re looking to cut the capacity in half. We usually do 3 man trips, so in the market for a 6+ man tent. Tipis seem to be the lightest option. This will be mostly a base camp type tent but I want it to be somewhat light Incase we want to get a little...

    DIY silicone fabric waterproofing

    For those curious, here’s the plan so far. -I ordered 74 yards of 70 denier nylon for $1/yd shipped - once it arrives, I’ll likely cut this in half or thirds to make it more user friendly. - from there I plan to mix silicone and mineral spirits in a 5 gallon bucket at 15:1 or so ratio(still...

    DIY silicone fabric waterproofing

    Well this isn’t just seams. This is the entire fabric. Being converted from standard ripstop nylon to silnylon by impregnating it with silicone. I think brushing it on will take far too long. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    DIY silicone fabric waterproofing

    Fabric is already on the way so I’ll update as it goes. I can get ripstop for literally Pennys per yard, so it is going to be significantly cheaper for me to attempt my own. If nothing else it’ll be a fun experiment! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    DIY silicone fabric waterproofing

    That’s a good idea. Guess I’ll have to do the seams after. But likely easier to do fabric before. I’m trying to concoct a setup in my head to make the process easier. Something like a dual squeegee system to pull the fabric through. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    DIY silicone fabric waterproofing

    I’m working on a diy tipi tent. To save a considerable amount of money, I’m planning to buy non-coated ripstop, and then silicone treat it myself. I’ve done some self sealing, and this is the second tent I’ve made. The big question is with the treating process. Should I sew it and then...

    Yeah I’m not willing to lease. I’ll go to another state or just be mad the whole time while I’m hunting over pressured land. I’m too cheap and stubborn for that lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Appreciate the advice! I can shoot 110s here at home, not that I’m much of a horn chaser, but if I’m going to all this trouble, he better be nicer than what I have outside right now! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I’m a big fan of squirrels! Hence my user name lol also don’t mind kicking brush piles for birds. I own to GSPs but they’re just spoiled brats. Not enough birds here to waste time training them shamefully Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Wow! This sucks. I was just telling my wife if we do this, I’d consider a trip to Nebraska to see family and hunt a few days. Looks like maybe not so… Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Unique opportunity in the Midwest

    I actually noticed this with WI just looking at the options on OnX. I thought “boy. Not very many big chunks. Would be hard to get back in further than most people”. So doesn’t surprise me to hear you say this, sadly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I actually have family there with land. It’s just a bit more of a drive than I was hoping for. I may resort to that if I don’t find anything else though Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
