    Stone sheep along the cassiar highway?

    Jasper is a beautiful drive as well. You have a really good chance of seeing Bighorns right on the side of the highway. Lots of times they are in the middle of the road licking salt from the cracks. Lots of Elk sighting possibilities as well. Have a great drive, hope the weather and hospitality...

    KUIU vs Sitka vs First Lite

    I have quite a few pieces of their clothing. I have the Bora pants and jacket from the Altitude line. They are very well made and durable. I also have a couple Cronos hoodies. The fit and function is great but they could really benefit from some polygiene to keep the stink down. I have the...

    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    Figured I would give a handloading update on my new 223. I bought a Ruger Ranch 5.56 a few months ago and finally wrangled up all the components to do a load work up. I loaded up 77gr TMK’s Nosler Brass CCI BR-4 primers 8208 XBR 2.260 COAL I loaded up 5 rounds each at 23.1, 23.3, 23.5...

    KUIU vs Sitka vs First Lite

    I have used all three. For me I feel like First lite has been the least durable. Also there fit is hit or miss and with living in Canada that has cost me a lot of return shipping and eaten duty costs. I do really like there merino and would give it the edge over the others. Kuiu has a lot of...

    Nalgene bottle or Hydration Bladder or Both?

    I use a 3L platypus bladder and a 1L Nalgene for my drink mixes. Later season when it freezes hard every night I ditch the bladder and add a couple collapsible bottles. The Nalgene although a bit heavy works great if I need to use my Steripen for sterilizing the water.

    dumb man needs boot help.

    A great boot to check out that many people haven’t heard of is the Oboz Bridger Mid. They are gaining a cult like following up here in Western Canada with women. I helped a buddy out at his store for a few weeks when my work was slow. I couldn’t believe the amount women that came in...

    Puffy vest

    I second what @SMOKYMTN mentioned. I would take a hard look at the Outdoor Research Helium vest for another option. I have the vest and the jacket. They are warm, light and the fabric seems to be more durable then most other puffy vests and jackets I have/had. Plus OR frequently has sales on...
