    Coffee solutions camping/backpacking?

    I roast my own beans but when hunting I go with Via (even though I never go to Starbucks). It's comparable to aero press home roasted IMO and the convenience and time saving is a bonus.

    Lightweight motorcycle recommendation

    My sons have a 450 Yamaha and a 400 Honda, I can go anywhere they can with my old 87 Honda 200 trials bike (with knobbies on it). Hunting on a bike is more about being able to haul a load (heavy pack in or meat out) than all out knarly riding. Riding with a heavy pack on your back sucks, no...

    off-grid electrical system for cabin

    To me the advantage of lithium batteries is: weight, and the ability to discharge completely without killing the battery, and space if limited. Downside is price ($$$$). If you need 300 AH of storage cap you'll only need 3 100 AH lithiums. Six 6 volt golf cart batteries will give you about...

    "I don't really want to kill anything"

    You should definitely take him. If you don't, I doubt he'll ever ask again because the message he heard was "you're too much of a bother and you'll slow me down". He's telling you he wants to spend time with you. Make it a good time for him, and you. You'll be glad you did. I'm not done...

    Grizz Stories

    Nothing too scary but any encounter with a griz gets your attention. I was walking an old road about 7 miles in, looking for grouse during the middle of the day (Sept in MT). Caught movement to my left and a young bear came out of the trees onto the road about 20-25 yds away. Nice looking...

    Montana guys… Any issues with e-tags last year?

    Yeah, I'm old fashioned too. Print em, laminate em, stick em in the pack with my kill stuff. Lots of things could go wrong with my phone while hunting (and has).

    New Bow Draw Cycle

    Not a new bow but I went from a No Cam to a Mathews Traverse after doing some research to find a similar draw. Very happy with it and it actually seems easier to draw the same weight compared to the No Cam

    Montana point creep expectation

    If I remember correctly there were a large number of apps last year with 1PP so most of those people (me) will be applying with two PP this year. Seems like the odds of drawing with 2 is going to go down this year? With 3 it should still be 100% but depending on how many opt out of the PP and...

    Holster thoughts or recommendations

    I carry a Ruger Redhawk 44 revolver in a Mystery Ranch holster on my belt. I tried a drop holster and hated it. I think a chest rig would add too much weight with the bino harness. The Mystery Ranch isn't perfect but fits under my pack belt and holds the gun solid. Only problem is sometimes...

    Back surgery experience

    I've had disc problems (2 herniated, one degenerated) since my 20s (72 now). Consulted a couple of specialist back surgeons along the way and, fortunately, both said to avoid surgery at all costs until life isn't possible without it. One of the surgeons also told me that at least 1% of...

    Colorado corner crossing bill proposed

    If two private LOs share a corner one can't restrict the other from accessing their property. Should be the same for private/public corners IMHO. The public "owns" the land so why should one owner have more rights than the other? I understand how it all started, but enough is enough, change...
