    Need a backpack

    First about me. I will soon be 72 and in no shape (or desire) to carry heavy loads. I am 5-10 if that matters. The pack will be used to carry my day to day hunting gear until I kill a blacktail or moose then hiking back to camp with a small load of meat. Doubt I would ever exceed 50 pounds. The...

    Below zero meat management

    Only thing I would do is skin it before it freezes. No sense carrying all that hair and hide home just to toss it in the garbage.

    Quitting Alcohol

    Good luck dude. My dad drank himself to death when he was 57. Growing up with a drunk parent is no fun at all.

    Quitting Alcohol

    Congratulations on all of you that quit. I came from a long line of alcoholics on both sides of my family tree and have a couple of questions if you don’t mind. For you guys who used to drink to much, did you drink because you liked the taste? Or was it just to feel the effects of alcohol? Guess...

    Fairbanks Outboard Rental

    Unfortunately I can’t help you with the rental. What are you using the motor for? If you plan to spend time in Anchorage and then drive to Fairbanks you can get a shipping price from Carlile Connect. Not sure if they deliver to Fbks.

    Do you tip your game processor?

    Can not think of any circumstances where I would tip a processor. But in all fairness have not used one in over 20 years. I bone out, cut, wrap, and grind every deer we kill. Owning a meat grinder should be a requirement for every hunter who likes to eat what they kill.

    DIY Alaska moose hunting strategy

    In all my moose hunting trips I can only recall killing one bull before 11 am. I’m sure it happens but pretty much everyone I hunted moose with concentrates on hunting mid afternoon and later. That being said, I would not waste the morning hours if I spent a bundle on the hunt. Moose can be...

    Day Pack Weight- How much is too much?

    10 pounds max for me and that includes the soft Badlands daypack. I wear my binoculars constantly so pack contains some snacks, toilet paper, a knife, fire starter, space blanket and maybe insect repellent and a roll up pad to sit on when glassing.
