    Backpacking Solo 2023

    Good luck out there. Anytime you start to get home sick or think about calling it quits and going home, just remember that you don’t wanna spend the rest of the entire year wondering what would’ve happened if you stayed a little bit longer.

    Giveaway! SKRE Gear Venture pant

    Pockets on the Sitka Timberlines are money, but don’t live the fit. Fit on the Stone glacier Dh is great, but wish they had the zippered pockets of the Sitka. Old Prana Zions for early season are money.

    Are Honda/Toyota/Mazda/Subaru overrated?

    Have to give credit where it’s due, and the Japanese make quality products. China copies and reproduces for pennies on the dollar, but the Japanese have so much pride in what they do that it’s hard to find “crap” products from their companies.

    Whitetail packs

    I hunt VERY urban areas here in VA. Jet sled with a tarp on top does great. I also have to take the whole animal out, can’t leave the ribs/spine, so easier for me. Quarters in many internal frame packs would be a breeze. Kifaru Shapecharge is my choice.

    Durston X-Mid 2 or Tarptent Double Rainbow DW

    This. Even here in Virginia there are spots where the ground is so soft that getting a stake in the ground is really hard. I went with the Tarptent, I like the freestanding ability.

    Seek Outside 8 Man Tipi Temps

    Tipi's don't really have 'temp ratings', anymore than a tent does. Lower temps just mean you need to fire up the stove more frequently. What about those guys camping on Everest, they don't have a stove right? But they do have tents that can handle snow loads, high winds, and pair them with...

    Whitetail packs

    Lots of good options. Is there too big? Depends, for me I hang my backpack in the tree, so yes, there is a limit. Is there too small? Depends. Early season I can get away with a fanny pack from Badlands,, late season when I'm carrying in extra clothes and a coffee thermos,, I need my Kifaru...

    Anyone ever bring a backup magazine?

    Good insight, appreciate the replies. I think for the money/weight, its a good idea.

    Anyone ever bring a backup magazine?

    Had a random thought, if for some reason the magazine unknowingly dropped out of my Tikka during a hunt, how could I keep hunting? A spare mag is $40, and doesn't weigh more than a few ounces, and could stay at the truck. Not sure if this is a completely irrational fear, or if anyone else has...

    Switching from pickup to jeep wrangler

    I could never see myself getting a jeep. If all I was into was four wheeling, sure. For me, I need to be able to haul deer, jet sled, tree stands, lots of stuff that needs to go into the back of a truck. Not to mention all the laughable times I’ve seen guys in jeeps at Home Depot loading bags of...

    NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE GETTING BROKEN INTO. WHAT DO YOU DO?

    There are some pretty entertaining responses here. All I read from the OP was you see someone that you don’t recognize going into your neighbors house. I would call the neighbor and say “ Hey buddy, there’s someone at your place, just letting you know”. Maybe it’s a family friend, maybe a...
