    New CVA Optima V2 SS

    My Accura V2 is a tack driver with 110 grains of Blackhorn 209, 250 gr Barnes Spitfire TMZ, and federal 209a primers. It has been 100% reliable and does a number on whitetails. I would recommend the CVA Blackhorn specific breech plug.

    propane stoves for alaska?

    I flew with 40 mile air last year and used the KOVEA LPG adapter with my JetBoil (minimo). The adapter worked great and one canister of coleman LPG was MORE than enough for two guys to boil water for oatmeal, coffee, and dinner for 8 days. I would say that the difference in heat output and boil...

    Mountain Hardwear HyperLamina Torch vs Kifaru slick 0 degree bags

    Great bag, I spent 10 nights with mine in Alaska this past September, no complaints. Packs down fairly tight for a 0* synthetic and dries crazy fast if wet. I got mine off of campsaver with a 20% discount (TroopID). Just for reference, i'm 6' and the regular length fits me fine.

    SO Cimmarron VS. Sierra Designs Mountain Guide Tarp

    I have been using the SD Mountian Guide Tarp for the past two years. I initially intended for it to be my "budget" friendly (Promotive deal) floorless shelter introduction. But thus far I been very impressed with the performance for the price and it will be coming along for Alaska moose this...

    Ship gear or fly with it?

    Ditto on the First Class ticket, the cost for excess baggage adds up quick. American/Alaskan airlines allows three free check bags when ticketed in first class. I used my stockpile of miles from work travel for this years trip and will be flying into/out of Anchorage for 50,000 miles & $5.60. As...

    Kifaru Slick Bag ?

    I picked up a Mountain Hardware HyperLamina Torch (0 degree) for this season. Its a center zip, 3lb. 8oz, synthetic that packs down small and I feel is a great less expensive alternative to the slick bag. The Torch kept me plenty warm down into the low teens and dried extremely fast in cold...

    40 Mile Air Lake Hunt

    We are finally booked for a 2016 lake hunt with 40 mile air! Was hoping for a ridge hunt, but as first timers with 40 mile air, we took what we could get. Has anyone been on one of these hunts? If so, what should we expect? Should I leave the spotter at home? Is getting any elevation for...
