    You can buy one piece of gear....what is it?

    DT1 Mont Bell Super Spiral Down Hugger #1 Big Agnes Fly Creek UL3 (though I would trade for a megatarp. Partner is not excited about floorless shelter. Would save over 2lbs and have more room)

    Kifaru tents and bugs

    I was talking with Patrick about his shelters and the mosquitoes, he said he burns a coiled bug repellant stick and all is good. CO has its fair share of bugs in the Mtns. Nothing like Alaska, but enough to drive me nuts. I want to give the megatarp a try. Bugs and no floor is keeping my...

    Kuiu/Kifaru

    I thought about it for a while. I really wanted to pick up the Icon but in the end went with a DT1. Decision came down to Kifaru is a proven pack. The suspension is amazing and feels great. The configurations are endless. I will use the timberline 1 bag for pack in trips and I can use the...

    Trekking poles? How to choose?

    I have used them now on a couple different trips. I was amazed how much the helped going up hill with a 55-60lb pack on. The stability of going down also was amazing. I will always have them with me from now on. I will carry them in my pack so they are available for first load to camp as...

    Need your advice. KUIU Guide vs Chugach?

    Depends on climate. Sounds like the chugach is the right pick for you. Hunting in CO my guide handles cold weathee and the brief rain we get in september. I tested the guide ans attack last year when it was raining hard. Rook dog for a 3 mile walk in a down pour with no issueds at all. I...

    crocs or lightweight trail runners for camp shoes when backpacking in?

    I felt the same way until I met the man only known as "Handle Bars", at least that is how he introduced himself. We were on the continental divide trail close to Rocky Mtn NP. The man comes booking up the trail and he asks where we are headed. I said we were on a simple overnight trip looking...

    A slice of Nevada

    I grew up there leaving a couple years after UNR. Now living in CO I do realize how special NV really is. I can remember hunting for and week never ever seeing another soul for a week regardless of the species I was chasing. Birds or things on the hoof. Perhaps I simply have not found those...

    A slice of Nevada

    Whenever I tell people I'm from Reno I get the same reaction. Most think Reno is close to Vegas. A simple Tahoe reference seems to work well. Reno is a great place to live and NV is a awesome place to live if you are a outdoorsman. So many opportunities in the state. Quiet...... don't tell...

    I put mine in the stuff bag it came with and used the BA compression straps to make it more packable.

    A slice of Nevada

    That last group of canyon walls looks like a place I chased chucker northwest of Pyramid Lake. I do miss Nevada. Lots of land to roam amd many hot spots can be found if you can put in the windshield time.

    Tried my new DT1 and Sawyer Squeeze Filter

    I was finally able to take the DT1 and Sawyer Squeeze Filter for a test run last week. Took my 7yr old son and climbed 1,400ft in 3 miles to 11k and did some fishing for a couple days. Darn fishing was slow but Alex was able to catch a few. Good times!! As expected the DT1 rocks! Very...

    Timberline and MSR Dromlite

    Tried dropping it in this last week. Not my style. Found the lump of water to be a bit touchy and hard to draw out as the water level went down. A little carbiner should work well. Matt

    If you had a year to hunt...

    Awesome question to ponder..... I'm not much of a dreamer so it is hard to come up with such a list. For some reason I have always wanted to tag a wart hog. So ugly they are attractive ro me. Can you shot one in the US?

    Big Agnes Fly Creek UL2 Platinum

    I have the FC UL3 version and it is okay with two people and some clothes. I'm 6'4" and 210 so I max it out. I've had maybe 10 nights in it and have been veey happy with the tent. Though I am trying to sell my hunting partners on the megatarp with annex. So much more room and lighter. I...

    Timberline and MSR Dromlite

    How is everyone attaching their MSR Dromlilte inside the hydration sleeve in the timberline? There is a tab which my camelback can attach to, but the new MSR I picked up has a grommet at top. I was thinking about using a zip tie, but I would like to be able to remove the bladder to take down...

    Sitka Customer Service

    I don't have a number for you. That is not good. I understand the frustration. Someone has to have a contact number for you.

    KE vs. Momentum

    Two years ago I was writing down numbers, doing equations and tweaking my set up. Then I realized that the only shot that was not a pass thru was a quartering to me buck at 40yds. Arrow ended up going thru his liver after passing thru his front shoulder. I figure my set up is good. 412gr...
