I typically tape my barrel with Electrical tape.
For backpack hunts I carry 6 speed loads and generally pack a whole can of caps. Although I've never used more than two loads, I have had caps fail. I am in Oregon though so we have a little stricter rules than Colorado I believe. I usually only...
One of my friends drew the E. John Day River No.2 Sheep tag. He is pretty stoked to say the least.
I am now hoping to still have some vacation time after deer and elk season to tag along. Just waiting on the Idaho Deer/Elk draw now.

I run a small software company that I started in 2008. We build demand planning and forecasting software for live and seasonal goods (most of what you find in the garden centers at Lowe's,Depot, and WM).
During college I worked a lodge on POW in SE Alaska, started cutting fish and ended up...
Becca, from the research I've done it seems like canning with retort pouches takes a fairly expensive vac packer. VacMaster makes one that I've found on sale for about 800, that they said would work.The key seems to be getting one with a seal bar that gets hot enough to seal the retort pouches...
One alternative to Mountain House I have found at REI is the Natural High brand. The beef enchilada is pretty tasty.
We are also looking into canning with retort pouches this year, has anyone here had experience with them? Seems like they would be great for venison and tuna.
I have been packing with goats for three seasons now and really like it. Started out with renting some for an elk hunt and ended up buying some the next summer, now I have six total. Usually only bring two deer hunting and four for elk. Two aren't old enough to pack yet.
Like Vandal said.

RosinBag pinned it on relaxing. I started swimming again about a month ago to train for a sprint tri in May. I don't think I had swam in a pool since high school and after a couple of laps I thought I was going to drown. Once I remembered to relax and have fun, it went much better. It's been a...
Maybe we should get a "sea level" group together and see if we can hang with the Colorado crew. The highest I hunt here in Oregon is about 8,500, I might need supplemental oxygen at 14,000.
I picked up the Chugach jacket before last season and was very impressed. Wore it for a week during muzzloader elk season in hard rain and snow, never got wet. Seemed to breath extremely well, and the pit zips were pretty awesome to have. We were hiking between 5 and 7 miles a day generally. I...
