    Whose headed to the Wyoming challenge?

    Don't eat at the Outback Steakhouse in Casper. Worst case of food poisoning I have ever had, ended up having to make several emergency stops between there and Douglas, and FYI there are no turn outs, exits, or rest stops between the two :( Based on all the horns that were honked at me I am sure...

    Coolers

    I have several Yetis and a Brute (they changed their name to Grizzly). The Grizzly is rock solid and it actually holds ice a bit better than the Yeti I have. I actually used mine as a step box last year training for hunting, did many 1000's of weighted step ups on it lol. Don't spend any time...

    High and steep in mid-height boots? Need help

    I am in Idaho and this is what I am doing this season, using the new Speed cross trail shoe, mine are gortex so standup to water better. For several seasons I used some big Lowa's. I like having the lighter shoes but you do give up support. So I have been training with a 40lbs bag. The only...

    Remove Sap from Trail Camera

    So I am pretty new to using trail cameras. Apparently I set one up such that it got quite a bit of sap on it, and by quite a bit I mean literally covered in it. Any recommendations n the best way to get it off of the camera without damaging it?

    A 160 lbs Bow Pull

    They had some seriously draconian penalties for messing up, usually being beheaded, and you usually only got to mess up once. This is one of the reasons why they were so much more disciplined on the battle field than their contemporaries, mess up an you get yourself and your squad mates killed.

    A 160 lbs Bow Pull

    So I was listening to a Dan Carlin's Hardcore History podcast about the Mongols. He stated that the draw on their bows was 160lbs. I am finding this one a bit hard to digest but after some light googling it seems to be a generally agreed upon number by "historians". So I thought I would throw...

    Swarovski SLC HD 10X42

    Have em and love em. Very few optics will compare to them imho and I have made the rounds with all of the top optics manufactures. As stated above at dusk and dawn they really shine. Yet I also find it is much easier to pick things out in the trees with the Swaro's vs all the other bino's I...

    If you could pick 1 set of rain gear......

    I have the KUIU Teton set and have used it several times, they are light, rugged, and keep pretty much everything out. They aren't as big as the Yukon's but not meant to be worn as a primary like the Yukon either. A question I would have is where abouts are you planning on doing most of your...

    Backcountry Repair Kit

    I will also recommend the tenacious tape and some extra paracord. I also have a few zip ties and small thing of glue.

    Seekoutside revolution

    I have one, used it last season and trained extensively with it. I have put many miles on it with over 70+ lbs. It wears well and doesn't tear up your shoulders or hips. It is very rugged and extremely well made. I can't recommend one enough!

    How many days this fall hunting?

    Scouting: 10-12 days Archery Elk/Archery Mule Deer: 14 days, as these seasons for me overlap. I mostly elk hunt but am an opportunist on mule deer. Mule Deer Rifle: 4 days, this only happens if I don't get one with the bow. Cow Elk Late Season: 4-6 days in December chasing them around in the...

    To stove or not to stove

    I only bring mine if it is going to be below freezing at night.

    Help with vortex scopes

    At that range it is the quality of the glass and not so much the magnification that will matter. I generally run at 12 or 15 and shoot out to 1,350. But if it is just for fun then I say 16 power should be fine, also depends on the size of the target, if you are shooting 2 MOA or less it maybe...

    Help with vortex scopes

    As it is Vortex new vs used isn't as big a deal. Reason I say that is they are great with their warranties and they are for the life of the scope and transfer with the scope. I would focus more on the price and ease of purchase/shipping. You mentioned not being a competition shooter nor a...

    Light/durable hiking pant

    I too pretty much just wear Kuiu attack pants. I am going to test out some of the Prana Stretch Zions in July to see how I like them. I also want to try the costco ones, worst case they can be yard duty pants.

    School me on "Custom" rifles...

    One thing that hasn't been mentioned here and is important when going custom is who the smith is. This will have the greatest impact on the performance of the rifle, not the parts. Reason I say that is you can take the best barrel and action in the world and if someone mangles them your...
