    Your 2025 Goals

    Get in better shape. Smoke less cigars. Now that the kids are at the age they don’t color on the walls and we are getting to a better financial spot, get the house looking nice enough to sell and possibly upsize the size of property. Don’t spend so much time obsessing over gear. I’ve wanted a...

    Am I crazy for expecting a leader ship role vs a lower stress position for close to the same money?

    I took on a supervisor position 6 months ago a little reluctantly. Communication from the bosses is/was terrible so I thought they were going to offer me a much more important title and a higher wage than what they ended up offering. I basically accepted the position for the resume padding and...

    Sad day for Canadian gun owners

    I’m not sure this thread will get the attention it should in the firearms forum. I started it as a bit of a warning to Americans on what could happen to your rights. I’ve updated it over the years as more BS has happened up here but now it’s buried.

    Sad day for Canadian gun owners

    I predict the war ending 2 days after the first load of GSG 15 and 16 .22 cal rifles are handed out to Ukrainian troops.

    Sad day for Canadian gun owners

    Interesting. They are taking guns away so we can’t use them to defend ourselves and sending them to a country so they can use them to defend themselves…

    Best rangefinder for archery AND rifle

    Looking for a new RF. I want something good at archery ranges and rifle ranges. I want it to be able to range in 0.1 yard increments. I don’t need archery modes but it wouldn’t hurt I guess. I’m looking at doing the precision cut archery chart stuff so will likely just be doing line of sight...

    Engineering Position - Interior Alaska

    I read through the ad and the salary range started in the 80s to a max of 151k. With all the things being asked/required, the bottom end of the range should be starting much higher. That salary range is ridiculous. You’re not going to get high quality applicants.

    How do you pay for your gear?

    Mine is a goalie. We get a discount on team fees but it doesn’t help much. At 8 years old I added up his gear, a new helmet and the rest was used, it was still $1k in gear hahaha. Now he’s getting into some senior sized stuff and the price is much higher. Oh well, He’s having fun.

    Gun for Elk Hunting in Thick Timber

    I was building an AR10 in .308 before the turd banned them in Canada. I figured it would be my best bet hunting in grizzly country and it not being legal to carry a pistol. Please build one for me ;)

    Talk to your children :(

    I don’t know about anyone else but I used to interpret things like this as “make sure you check on your kids for depression” etc. Now that my kids are growing, I’ve realized that’s only 50% of it. Make sure your kids aren’t bullies either.

    Advice for Solo hunts

    It’s a mental game. Don’t leave early just because you’re having a tough time. Some advice earlier in the thread said to take a break if you want to leave. There’s nothing wrong with taking a morning or afternoon off to recharge if it means you will stay the rest of the trip instead of bailing...

    How long does bear meat last in the freezer?

    Found some black bear meat in the back of the freezer from fall 2021. You think it’s worth making into summer sausage or pepperoni?

    Am I the only one who hates RF pouches on Bino Harnesses?

    I just use the Alaska guide creations hybrid max. My RF goes in the front pocket, and I have room in the bottom pocket for a headlamp, spare batteries etc. works great. My release fits under the elastic on the lid, windchecker in the side pocket, tags in the back pocket. It’s surprising how...

    Canada Gun Laws?

    There are no mag size restrictions in manual actions, only semi autos which are limited to 5. Pistols are limited to 10 rounds but you can use pistol mags in semis and be legal with 10. Confused yet? Hahaha this country sucks. Hunting is a different story and some provinces limit the amount...

    Driving to AK vacation

    We did a 4 week round trip from an hour east of Vancouver, in the Fraser Valley where we live, up to Anchorage and back. Spent a little over a week in Alaska, a couple nights in a few places each. Travel trailer and 2 little kids so we didn’t get too far off the beaten path. I felt 8 weeks...

    Best AC/DC freezer?

    I have an Edgestar about 10 years old. It’s spent time as a fridge and freezer. Sometimes it’s only used every 6 months, I’ve also had it on for a couple years straight as a beer fridge in the garage. If I remember right, it uses the same compressor and parts as the dometic ones. I wouldn’t...
