    Is There Booze In Your Pack?

    Usually, nice to have a plastic pint to help relax around the fire in the evening. Even better if it's some good scotch.

    Slap Tear and Rotator Cuff Repair

    Pretty well, rotator cuff wasn't that bad. Did a bicep tendenosis spp? And cleaned up the cartilage. Pain has been manageable but sleeping in the sling sucks! Started therapy today and pt was happy with progress. If things keep going this well going to wish I had it done months ago. Already...

    Slap Tear and Rotator Cuff Repair

    Thanks for the advice everyone. Definitely sounds like the pt is the key. I'll let you all know how it goes. This past year has been my best ever fitness wise and don't want to go backwards. For those who had the surgery how did you maintain your fitness?

    Slap Tear and Rotator Cuff Repair

    Going in for surgery on Wednesday to get my shoulder repaired. Will have Bicep Tendenosis (reposition of bicep tendon) and possibly a rotator cuff repair (it's torn but will only repair if over 50% torn). They are also going clean up my cartilage and shave down my ball joint of my shoulder...

    What's in a Name?

    My dad had some interactions with the Ridgerunner aka the wild man of the Clearwater in his early days with the forest service. He was interviewed a couple times by people writing books. Also grew up hunting the country the Ridgerunner called home. Additionally love to trail run in the...

    North Idaho/ Montana Trip

    Sounds like a great trip, wish I was still in North Idaho. Bit to far of a drive from Boise.

    Shoulder issues

    So Dr was wrong. Wasn't tendinitis. I got my MRI results back today. Slap tear and partial rotator cuff tear with arthritis. Next step surgery. Anyone with experience on what I'm in for?

    Don't ignore your shoulder problem if its not getting better! Just got diagnosed with rotator cuff tendinitis and the fix isn't that bad.

    Fittest Bowhunter in the West

    Anyone know anything about these competitions? They are having one in Boise in June and it looks kind of interesting. Not a lot on the website about the competition other than you have to wear a pack with 20lbs and there are physical challenges between 40 separate 3d targets. Any additional...

    Shoulder issues

    Smoked my right shoulder about 40 days ago working out. Laid off it awhile and has got progressively worse. Finally because I couldn't pull my bow any longer went to dr yesterday. I had visions off torn rotator cuff and surgery in the back of my mind. Fortunately my dr has a sports medicine...

    Steep n cheap

    Look at gearscan. Tracks steep and cheap and a number of other online retailers including REI and GoLite. I've bought a number of things from both steep and Cheap and Backcountry.com with no issues.

    Who was/is your best hunting partner?

    My two best hunting partners have both passed at way to early an age. The first was my dad, gave me a love for the outdoors and hunting. The second was Dr. C. Randall Byers past records chairman for Pope and Young and Boone and Crocket. Randy and his son (my best friend) shared many campfires...

    What's in your pockets?

    Pretty much all the stuff mentioned above at some time or another. Also like to have some TP handy for first thing in the morning. A cup of coffee followed by a good climb and I'll need it and usually in a hurry beats digging in the pack for it. Also used to be a can of Copenhagen but I think...

    Epic Pack Outs

    This thread brings back a lot of bad memories. swat8888 reminds me of a particularly difficult 9 mile pack. Buddy killed a cow about 9 miles in. Pack out to spike camp wasn't bad as a bear had gotten into the elk and ate/ruined about 1/3 of it. Decided to do the pack back to the trail head...

    Is this a good starting work out

    Don't ignore your upperbody/core it's not only your legs that support that 50 lb pack. When using the eliptical make sure you have enough tension so that you're having to push/pull rather than glide. I love the step mill I wish my gym had one although i havent done it I have heard of guys doing...

    big10hunter good for you hope all goes well. Just a comment, i question the value of the benchpress. I try to focus on functional lifting excercises that work multiple muscles groups. I think the value of 50 pushups far outweighs the value of benching 200 lbs. All I have ever accomplished...

    ashamed of myself

    I've struggled with this problem most of my adult life. It wasn't a big deal in my 30's. I would kill my self getting in shape then kind of hit a wall after hunting season and take some time off. Always would gain a few lbs but would start again in the spring and be ready to go again. As I...
