    Best Mesh for Hip Vents

    Ditto, and nobody in my hunting party wants to see my pale white thighs. Some sort of polyester mesh would be best as it won't absorb water like a nylon mesh. Free bump for a solution!

    ISO 2P-3P TIPI

    I have a brand new Argali 4P that needs a home since I think I'm going with a PEAX for something a little burlier, at the expense of some floor space and increased weight. I've fit three sleeping pads in the Argali with room left for gear- it has a very big footprint, especially considering the...

    Lowa tibet gtx waterproof issues?

    My Tibets leaked on the left foot near the toe flex point after less than 20 miles of hiking. Bought some goretex-lined wool socks and kept on hiking because I was just a few months outside of Lowa's warranty when I realized the issue was warranty-able. Put hundreds of miles on the boots since...

    Gaiters

    Outdoor Research Crocodile are the gold standard for waterproof, durable gaiters. They are not perfect, but are way more waterproof and durable than most hunting brand's offerings. I had Crocodile gaiters for 6+ years of Alaska hunting, hiking, and snowshoeing before they showed significant wear...

    WTS Seek Outside Eolus tarp tent (new), X-bolt med 30mm Talley rings (light use)

    Bump, open to reasonable offers on the Eolus. Also pondering selling my X-Mid 2 if there's a reasonable offer as I may be going to a hot tipi setup for my cold hunting.

    Minimus Nutrition, minimized weight

    The Minimus Nutrition products are quite ingenious. I have been supplementing my backcountry foods for years with various products in an attempt to maintain complete nutrition while in caloric deficit. I might be saving a few bucks over the Minimus products, but my supplements certainly aren't...

    Warder Saw

    Interesting concept. Blades will certainly be easy to swap and inexpensive. I'm using a Silky Pocket Boy 130mm with "medium" toothed blade. 6 oz and works fairly well for both bone and wood. The only drawback is that I keep breaking the tip off of the blades- have to go easy on them as they are...

    New FHF FOB bino harness/my thoughts

    considering this harness because the shoulder straps look wide enough to spread out the additional weight of a pistol mounted below the bino pouch. Has anyone tried this and found the harness comfortable? Also, does anyone know the weight of the FOB pouch, it's not listed on their site.

    Silencer Central After eForm Approval

    I received LE approval Aug 28 and my silencer arrived yesterday, Sept 27. It was hung up at the local FFL for ten days before they shipped it to me for some unknown reason. Not sure who's fault that was.

    Anchorage gunsmith

    @Htm84 , did you end up finding a smith to cut and thread your barrel? Denali arms quoted me $700 to cut and thread my browning X-bolt which is somewhat crazy given that the gun cost $900. He was going to custom machine and heat treat a stainless shoulder which seems unnecessary even though I...

    Banish Backcountry

    There's an ingenious and cheap fix using high-strength magnets in this thread. My Backcountry just arrived yesterday (263 days after I signed paperwork 1/9/23) and I can stare at it for a while till I get my barrel cut & threaded. Doh.

    Light weight tarp/ground sheet

    silnylon is used in many tarps and cheap tent footprints, but nylon absorbs moisture (and blood), then stretches, so I've gone to silpoly (silicone-coated polyester) tarps which don't absorb moisture. The benefit is less weight when packed up wet and also easier to rinse off blood (and smells)...

    do all 30 06 load

    To allow keyboard quarterbacks the opportunity to imply that they are perfect shots and never miss their mark. If you're honestly curious, the backstory is that it was my first large animal (caribou) and I missed the mark (lung/heart just behind shoulder) due to an unsteady hand and brief shot...

    do all 30 06 load

    I should have more clearly stated that these are all factory cartridges and I don't know Barnes' load data. I plan to hand-load some LRX sometime in the near future after I have my barrel cut down to 19" to run a suppressor.

    do all 30 06 load

    Currently a fan of mono metal bullets after the experience of throwing away excessive amounts of lead-impacted caribou shoulder meat resulting from Core-Lokt and Hornady SST rounds, and seeing the excellent penetration and minimal meat loss from copper bullets. Here are some speeds (3 to 5 round...

    Kodiak Goat hunt - in 4 weeks

    Ditto. The uneven terrain on Kodiak is as hard, if not harder on the small stabilizer muscles in your lower legs than the large muscles we normally think of training (gastroc, quads, glutes, etc.). Sidehill training is a great idea. Leukotape and athletic tape can be great if you get hotspots on...
