Thanks for the reminder on rain gear. I’m going to get a fresh DWR treatment on mine before heading up to AK in two weeks. I’ve been dealing with right knee/hip pain for the last few years but consider myself in great shape so I feel your pain. I grabbed some Flexeril from my doc last week and...
I need them to put more in the bag. The chicken Alfredo and chicken pesto is a chef’s kiss but I need 1.5 bag so I’m adding half to all 8 of my dinner bags. (Plus pepper flakes)
I’ve shot my last 4 deer with TTSX out of a 30-06 and they all had plenty of internal disruption and died almost immediately. 3 bang flops. The 20 before that were with Hornandy SSTs. Also all bang flops. Projectiles of any type out of a high powered rifle kill stuff pretty well.

Man ate this pizza 2 years ago in the hanger of Golden Eagle when my foot was soaking in my salty food bowl swollen 3x normal size after a week long float. I think a large was $40. I’d give Golden Eagle a shout and see what they have to say about the place. Jared will let you know.
I love the looks of a leather Montana sling but the mountaineer makes more sense for backpack hunts. I want to say they are 3.6 ounces. I’m taking one to Alaska in 2 weeks.
I really do like mine and the ability to change from bone to wood saw but…..it still doesn’t beat the versatility and weight of a silky saw which I end up carrying most of the time.
Say we are both 40 years old. Hypothetically I have 3.5 million in my 401k and you have 1.2 million in yours. Is it still the stupidest thing if I take out 30k to go on a bucket list hunt, all other things being equal?
It’s impossible to know someone’s financial situation on the internet. I...
First of 10-15 training hikes done today. (4 miles/70lbs) I’m very active. Swim/lift 5 days a week but have learned from past trips that nothing quite compares to getting under pack weight to make carrying a load in the mountains easier.
My goal is to get to the range next week.
I can’t imagine a more versatile gun than the 19. Easy to carry all day and the Gen 5 is the most reliable and accurate generation I’ve shot up to this point. I have two matching with dots and never feel the need to ever buy another handgun. The 19 frame also fits well in an Eberlestock Bando...
I have SLC 10x42s and picked up some used EL 8x32s for similar purposes. It’s a wonderful combo. I’ve had the 25 and 30 CL Swaros. They are both very nice but prefer the 32 ELs.
I was in the absolute middle of nowhere Alaska, north of the Artic Circle, fighting with useless short tent stakes. Down the river comes famous explorer Roman Dial. He told me he doesn’t use stakes. Lashes the tent cord around a stick and puts a rock on top.
I went from a 13 to a 14 when I was 28. Arch doesn’t seem to have flattened. It sucked because I had a nice collection of custom cowboy boots. 14s are also a pain to find in any variety. I prefer a fairly flexible boot with wide toe box and think I could pretty much wear a Crispi Lapponia for...
