    Kifaru must have accessories?

    The grabit is never not on my setups. Beyond the obvious, I like the mini belt pouch on my left side. It fits my mini camera and I can slip my scope shade in it when not in use.

    What's your strategy...for retirement?

    I am 51. My wife is 49 this year. We just sold our 9+ acres and downsized. Most of the profits on the property is from all of the improvements that we did for 100's of hrs. We are 100% debt free with the exception of the new house. She says we can pay it off in 6-10 years max. We both have...

    Looking for a LId

    I love the Kifaru Std lid. It is truly a lid that captures gear nicely. I run this with a Kifaru pocket on it. Either a L&L #11 or a large belt pouch.

    Advice for hunting bedding areas?

    What Paul said. Some of the reasons they love a bedding area is it is mysteriously safe for elk. It is commonly on the short step of a ridge where the wind swirls around. Spend a few days skirting the edges and working it without blowing out. Funny thing about heavy bedding areas: If you don't...

    Chainsaws (temporarily) allowed in Wilderness

I welcome a trail system that has a healthy amount of blow downs. I agree this would set a bad precedent for...

    Idaho Middle Fork Zone

    All the research I did made my first year that much more rewarding. Find your inner map geek and dive in. OP, Pilots will drop on 11/16 if you want and pick you up at least as late as 11/20. I know that from experience. If you are hearing otherwise, you are talking to the wrong guys.

    What size pack for long weekends?

    I can't ever see the value in a smaller bag when you already have a bigger bag. The guys with piles of bags are just gear whores(some self proclaimed) and can't help themselves. My bag never changes from summer scouting to November hunting. I have a SG setup(frankenpack) and a Kifaru setup, and...
