    Solo Elk Quartering

    Ive not had to quarter an elk solo, when i'm hunting alone I do pack some paracord and two carabiners. My thought is I can hang one carabiner in a tree and feed another strand of paracord through to hang meat with no branch friction.

    Ethics Insert/Outsert system

    Lessons learned: Last year I used Ethics outserts on some 4mm Axis arrows. I do not like how you have to sand the carbon to get the sleeves to fit. So depending on your arrows you might be better off with a different sleeve. I also went with stainless and cut my outserts down, I should have...

    Will higher gas prices change your plans

    The solution for most would be night charging at home when energy demand is low. That wouldn't work for everyone though. The issue you bring up is the reason Elon Musk is calling for more oil production.

    Ive spent weeks in the back of my canopy. Custom made plywood drawer to sleep on. The only things I would change would be a taller canopy and maybe one of those fancy overland awnings people use.
