    Replacing Battery on Inreach SE

    Also a warning don't forget it and leave it in your pickup truck all summer. Absolutely fries the battery.

    Replacing Battery on Inreach SE

    Wanted to give an update for $35 decided to try a new battery. I bought the replacement kit off of Amazon as I didn't have the right tool to remove the screws to get to the battery. Watched a youtube video before I started on how to do it. Was pretty easy although unseating the battery was a...

    Replacing Battery on Inreach SE

    Has anyone replaced battery on the Garmin Inreach SE+? Mine won't charge. Batteries on line are pretty cheap but the Garmin website says could be multiple different causes. I bought a Mini for this fall but don't like it as well as my old eyes can't read the screen without packing my...

    Longest, hardest, most logistically difficult solo packout?

    I've done lots of heavy long ones the greatest being 12 miles but all on a trail which wasn't a big deal. By far the most challenging was 1/3 of my buddies elk (104 lbs weighed) for 4 miles down hill. Lots of big blow down and so steep couldn't stop on my feet or they would shoot out from...

    What do y’all do when the elk are just too high up?

    Happened to me on Saturday. Watched a herd of 30ish about 1200' above me but over 2 miles across a canyon would have had to drop 800' to cross canyon. Wasn't about getting to them it was a 6 mile pack out if I shot one. Helped that I had a couple bulls bugling just below me. I may go after...

    InReach dead

    Just tore my house apart trying to find my Garmin inreach SE. Finally found it under the back seat of my pickup. Won't charge so I'm pretty sure it sh*t the bed. Headed out solo on Friday and my wife won't let me go without one. Just found out the the SE isn't made any longer. Can get a...

    Organizing Stand Up Freezer

    Need to do the same thing. Son and I just got back from fishing in Alaska and had to stuff 200 lbs of fish in mine. 2 elk tags this fall no way I get 1 in there right now. Thing is a sh*t show.

    Mazda CX-7/CX-9

    Got rid of a CX7 a couple years ago. Reliable vehicle but didn't like the road noise and for me didn't have enough pep when needing to pass. Not really negatives but not my preference.

    Knocking off the dust…

    Talk me out of a Rad 6 Plus ebike

    Alright back to the drawing board. I researched putting a motor on my existing mtn bike. Strongly discouraged putting them on carbon frames. Now researching M2S. Reviews are much better than the RAD. Looking at the Ultra HT. Any input would be appreciated.

    Talk me out of a Rad 6 Plus ebike

    Thanks for all the input. I've been talked out of one and it's much appreciated. Going to explore adding a Bafang motor to my Specialized Stumpjumper. Hopefully I can find a LBS that will do the conversion for me. Any input on that direction is appreciated. Going to look at the 1000W motor...

    Talk me out of a Rad 6 Plus ebike

    Didn't realize this was an option. I have a specialized stumpjumper carbon is putting a motor on it an option? If so can you give me a place to start researching?

    Talk me out of a Rad 6 Plus ebike

    Thanks for the replies. I'm pretty much a "buy once cry once" type but trying to keep my wife from killing me by dropping a few grand on a bike. Want to go electric over a motorcycle as I can see using the electric for other things, motorcycle would be sit and would just end up reselling...

    Talk me out of a Rad 6 Plus ebike

    I lucked out and drew a great elk archery tag. Lots of up in the unit but all trails can be accessed with an ebike legally. Being able to get in 5-6 miles on a bike will help a bunch in getting one out in Sept. I've ridden mountain bikes a lot and would rather not have to ride these trails...

    Empty Nester Blues

    Step son finally moved out last week at 24. Couldn't be happier to see him go. Good kid but contributed nothing to the family. About the same time he left my son (18 and just graduated) asked if he could move in for awhile. Although he makes decent money he realized he wanted to save some...

    What gear are you looking to buy before this fall?

    Considering the Leica Geovid range finding binoculars. Went cheaper with the Vortex Fury and glass doesn't even compare. Should have bought once cried once on these.

    Spiders in house

    Tempo is a good choice. I spray bifenthrin around baseboards and where wall meets ceiling and outside along foundation in spring and fall. Don't have issues with spiders or carpenter ants. Both are synthetic pyrethroids.

    Bull Elk in a hole

    Years ago living in N. Idaho I got the opportunity to pull a cow moose out of a mine shaft. We had to tie a strap around her and pull her out. The trick was how to get the strap untied after we got her out. The F&G officer who was running the show suggested I jump on top of her when we got...

    Favorite 280 Remington load for elk

    Try this in the reloading forum. More likely to get an answer. I'm looking for the same thing. Starting with 150 grain Nosler partitions and 4831 SC because that what I could find Still looking for primers. Would like to also try RL 22 but haven't been able to find it for over a year...
