    Jeremiah, I like your setup and have run this same in good weather but have not had the courage to use when I know storms are coming. Have you run this in rain/snow? How did you manage?

    2022 Alaskan float hunt wood stove?

    I don't know your shelter, but yes, wood stove for warming and drying things out is awesome. Just be sure there is wood to burn where you are going and your shelter is floorless.

    Sidearm or bear spray?

    Another limitation of spray is when you are dropped remote without resupply option like you may have on day or short weekend hunts. Specifically, if you deploy spray to deter nuisance "camp bear" on day one of a 14 day drop hunt, how do you reload? In this circumstance, I may consider a double...

    Emergency Kit

    Good stuff here. Something I picked up from a similar thread several years back was to add a serious pain killer to the kit. I added two doses of left overs from a knee surgery. I have now carried an opioid pain killer for 5-6 years. Three years ago I slid off a snow filed and broke my neck...

    Upgrade from Mathews Drenalin to 2020 bow - what's to gain?

    Fellow archery Roksliders, I'm considering a new bow for 2020 and have been reading the threads on here about the new bows. It seems that the gains over the last few years have been minimal per the comments, but I would be upgrading by more than a few years :oops:. My Drenalin was purchased...
