    Is one full day at 10,000 feet enough to acclimate for a flatlander?

    Take those O2 bottles you can get from most stores. I take a bigger bottle for camp and the small one for the pack. Not a replacement for acclimation but it helps.

    Sold Bergara Wilderness Ridge .300WM w/bullets, dies, brass

    This gun seems nice overall. About 100 rounds down the tube. Selling because I don’t shoot it and I’d rather use the money for a gun I enjoy shooting. Not in a rush to sell and prefer face to face, Tucson/Vail, AZ Bullets are 180gr Berger Elite Hunter loaded in Lapua brass(113 loaded). In total...

    Vomiting at altitude

    Had this happen to me last year. 1300 feet followed by a 12 drive with a 5ish mile hike to 10k. Didn’t feel great after the first day, bailed the second for a night in town. While down there I bought some of those small o2 bottles. Sucked that down like candy when I went back up if I started...

    Black bear euro diy?

    I did two skulls this past spring for the first time. After cleaning the brain out with baling wire I simmered for 8ish hours in water and dawn until everything but bone was left. Used a garden hose to clean it off. Things I didn’t read about online are the bottom jaw will split and the teeth...

    New CO bear hunter seeking advice - Western slope

    Most of those places won’t have a lot of areas where you can sit and glass(successfully with a good chance to kill) like spring bear in more open areas. Find a decent trail and walk until you find food and sign that they have been eating that food. Then find difficult to access water and hang out.

    Probably Going Crazy, But Looking for Suggestions

    I had some similar occurrences as a child. Not sure why, no real memory or anything occurred it just started one night. I would wake up to random figures or people standing outside my bedroom door. Spent a lot of time under the bed or screaming for my parents like a baby. It only happened in my...

    Ruger build vs tikka 223

    I asked the exact question last week. They were quick to respond. They said it would work, it would convert the action to AICS instead of stanag.

    Ruger build vs tikka 223

    I got the Ruger because I could find one, the barrel was already threaded, short, and I like my other calibers in the Ruger American. The 5.56 is not smooth, shoots fine, but I’m not as pleased with it as I am with my other two. I will probably keep it just because I have it and need a couple...

    Best affordable zero degree bag for side sleeper?

    I’ve got that bag. Pretty decent. I’m 5’10” and if I were going to buy it again I’d get the tall version. I also started dabbling with quilts, have a 10 deg El Coyote which has been nice thus far. Haven’t used it below 30 yet. I’d imagine there are some threads on here that have hashed this out...

    PEAX SOLITUDE 4 TIPI GIVEAWAY

    I like the option of a floor without adding a net of sorts to the tent. The cross beam for wind and snow is pretty cool as well.

    Calling Bears in the Fall?

    Recommend reading Douglas Blaze’s book, Ultimate Guide to Black Bear Hunting or something close to that. If memory serves me correct he has a good bit of data on calling bears.
