    2015 Moose Hunt

    A friend and I took our first hunting trip to Alaska this September. This was a lifelong dream come true for me. We did a drop camp out of Bethel with Renfro. His areas have lots of moose. We both killed bulls in the high 40's (any bull area). There were larger animals around, but the ones...

    Mophie space pack

    Has anyone tried this product? Seems like a good solution for me but the reviews are so polarized that I am hesitant to buy one. I do need more storage and more battery life though. Thanks.

    What is the weight of the sled and associated straps/fittings? I love the idea, just wondering if I room in my weight allowance. Thanks for sharing.

    Spending $ on experiences instead of objects

    Great article. I stopped buying major Christmas presents for my wife and daughter years ago. Now they get a trip...but they usually have to take me. We generally alternate between enriching (National Park stuff or somewhere with a cultural angle) and mass marketed fun (Disney, Universal...

    kuiu backorder times

    Their continued lack of inventory is beyond ridiculous. I cancelled my open backorder after waiting a month. Is it safe to guess that the situation won't change until the West Coast port strike gets resolved? Presumably they have some gear in those ships waiting to unload?

    Organized GPS system for waypoints, tracks, etc

    Great topic. I like to incorporate the date into the waypoint name. So in your Wyoming example, if going out on a hunt December 3, 2014 I would log something like 120314truck or truck120314. That way when you hunt in Idaho in 2016 you won't accidentally try to walk back to you Wyoming parking...
