    Northern California Quail…

    Probably going to be a tough hunt in the rain. Even with a dog the birds are going to be tough to flush. Not impossible and still probably a great day of memories, just not something I'd attempt... But I'm also lazy.

    New Argali 3P Tent? Help Me Design it.

    After reading that it is a two pole design, I want to be a part of the R&D. 😉. I've wanted a two pole design for years to allow for more headroom so as to not feel like I'm dancing the pole when operating in the shelter and I'm not even that tall! Can't wait to see what you put out there.

    Would you sell Bitcoin for a Sheep hunt?

    Seems you have a 15,000 dollar savings. If you hold Bitcoin until next year's, or the following year or for a 50th birthday present, will your coin have made up the gap and now the savings is an equilateral move or a move with a bit left over in the coin fund if the coin does as well as it has...

    New Argali 3P Tent? Help Me Design it.

    The 3p with a stove could be pretty useful for two guys with gear, but I feel like it would be too tight once you add the stove. Ultimately becoming a large palace for one. This is assuming you're going with typical dimensions per person. Therefore I'd say no stove jack if you're sizing follows...

    Jackery 1000 V2 399.00

    You should give one of these battery units a whirl. No, it's not a fuel generator where you can supply it fuel and it will run until the oil is gone and it freezes up. However, they will do most everything you need and usually have little lacking in way of performance. If you couple this unit...

    Take a nalgene, boil water and pour into the nalgene. Throw the hot water bottle into your bag (I like to toss it in the middle and kind of bunch the bag like a rolled down sock). The water bottle can be placed wherever you want additional heat as well has prewarming your bag and adding...

    New guy from California

    You aren't seeing anything because your rifle is pissed at you for leaving it so far away from the warmth of the stove. If you're cold, it's cold.

    Sleeping bags.

    You can bench 350+, but if you're skipping leg day can you carry a heavier synthetic sleeping bag? List what you want in the bag for better help: Down or Synthetic Packability or are you base camping from the truck Temp rating Bag length Any other shits and giggles you prefer.

    New guy from California

    Put my buddy on his first. Just a little antlered fella but pulled about 60 lbs of venison off him. Buddy couldn't have been more jazzed about it after 2 days of nothing.

    Most expensive thing you lost while hunting

    She's learned to not worry 😂. Thank the Lord she can navigate the mountains with just a few landmarks to locate us.

    Most expensive thing you lost while hunting

    Recovery cost. Truck was 3 weeks old to me so the wife, while not surprised with my shenanigans, was not all that thrilled. Here's yet another adventure. This one was only about $600. This one was not my fault though. Dirt road we'd traveled many times but an underground spring was revitalized...

    Instant creamer that doesnt taste like a$$?

    If you're not going to drink your coffee black, might I suggest: A tad heavy, but if you add two to your coffee you probably won't care much about the weight.

    Best zero degree down bags

    I use center zip sleeping bags. This allows you to use a warmer bag in the hotter temps by leaving it unzipped and draping it over you like a quilt. Ice don't the same with the side zips and it does work just fine but the damn hood location drives me nuts.
