    Anyone Here Ever Get Parasites?

    I'd agree, sounds like something was going on. Dr didn't do a stool sample? Were you all together consuming the same food/water prior to your symptoms starting? Was there any time that that food/water was suspect?

    back country saw

    get the neck meat off, find the articulation between the base of the skull and first vertebra and work your knife in there, bending the head away from the cut as you make it to open the cut. Once you get one side, twist the head to open it up and the other side comes off easier. Probably want a...

    unable to find a good flat for camping, any unique ideas/experiences?

    I can't sleep every night in a hammock, but I do carry one so that I can use it when the terrain dictates. a small Coughlan's folding saw from Wal-Mart or Sportsman's is really helpful for pruning trees for your setup. I sewed my own tarp, and hammock from the pattern on diygearsupply.com and...

    Dry ice

    It's a lot colder than wet ice (sublimates at -109); most deep freezes are -10 or - 20. As others have said, putting block ice on the bottom, then dry ice on top can extend the life of your wet ice. Remember that if there's still dry ice in your cooler when you get back with meat, the wet ice...

    Contact lenses and the back country what's your system

    I had lasik when I was 31. Flap cut with a laser, not a microtome. Not sure if microtome is still an option anymore. My eyes have not changed since. It was a good investment for me over the last 8 years. As I age, I can feel myself developing presbyopia, but don't figure it's any different than...

    New Mexico 16A in 2 weeks, any local updates?

    I've hunted the Gila in Biblical flood years and dry years. The elk will be there, and you'll have a blast! Good luck!

    Electrolyte supplements

    Emergen-c. dump a packet on your tongue (don't inhale) and wash it down with a few gulps of water. Saves your water bottles, and you can enjoy unflavored water the rest of the time.

    Hunting elk in dry units

    It's quite possible that the roads are closed, depending on who manages the land. A part of Unit 9 has a lot of guzzlers that are behind gates, so while there's roads, access is (supposed to be) on foot. Like you, I'm drawn to the high country, but I'll be hunting an area where past experience...

    Stove question

    Yeah, mine definitely is no longer pristine. Pretty hard to avoid that given how you're basically dealing with heavy foil.

    Fairbanks Lodging

    Pike's was going to be my suggestion as well. That's disappointing to hear the cruise industry is appropriating another business up there and ruining it.

    Polycotton inflatable tents

    I don't know what I was expecting of this thread, interesting concept. If it were me, I'd want to set it up by inflating it, then bend in some bows to support it in case of failure once it's up. That would achieve the easy setup and take down and still have some 'real' support in the meantime.

    What do you use to wake up in the backcountry?

    You can get a cheap pocket watch with a carabiner clip on it. Hang it over you. Wal Mart. Just put the directions with it so you know how to reset it next year. I've also used my phone on airplane mode, extreme power saver, and I believe do not disturb mode all together. The alarm still goes off...
