    Opinion of 10x42 or 12x50 Binos

    I use 10x42 for elk since I'll be hand glassing in the timber more often 12x50 for mule deer since most of my glassing is on a tripod

    High Country Meal Plan

    Anyone have any experience with OFF GRID FOOD Co dinners, they are pricey but curious if it's worth it paying $6 more than most other meals

    Worried about theft back at the truck while hunting?

    What do you guys keep in your truck that is valuable besides a cooler and some spare food? I have never worried about theft because I take my gear with me in my pack

    Idaho Elk 2021 Season

    When doing research myself I spoke with a biologist who reported that zone to be on the edge of grizzly country. The grizzlies seem to roam those units but don't always have a perminate presence. I personally do solo trips as well, so I didn't feel comfortable field dressing an elk by myself...

    No one is drawing in CA

    I drew a bear tag! I'll draw x12 one of these days! 😂 Joking aside D6 has been a tough cookie to figure out these past few years but I have a lot of confidence this year considering the amount of time I have to scout

    Beaverhead zone ID, grizz?

    I talked with a biologist when researching various units and he said there have been multiple sightings of grizzlys throughout the zone, he said they seem to pass through the country and its been hard for them to track the population density of grizz. But yes they are there. He recommended going...

    Broadhead Testing

    Try the QAD exodus, it's one of the few broadheads that has very few tradeoffs.

    Training for Durability

    I'm a physical therapist and do quite a bit of training for my own solo backcountry hunts. I have found kettlebell training, deadlifts, jump rope, tire drags, ruking, and loaded slow step ups (not very high step, maybe 8-12in) to be the foundation of my training. When I hit the mountians I feel...

    What do you do with your venison?

    Any one ever made their own bone broth? I buy organic beef bone broth, wondering how feasible it is to DIY

    Spotting scope advice

    I don't have any in the field experience with vortex, so it would be irresponsible for me to have an opinion on quality. I have heard they have a very good warranty. If money is tight, I would find a well taken care of, used spotter that fits your budget(usually the larger the price difference...

    Katabatic Flex vs Elite

    To be honest I have never needed the attach system that goes under the sleeping pad, the bag has straps that keep it together to prevent drafts. Maybe this is only duable with the wide, the normal width may be tougher to prevent drafts/get into

    Katabatic Flex vs Elite

    I have the flex 15 degree and elite 22 degree. Both in wide since I'm a side sleeper. Both are very comfortable and warm, the main reason for the flex is to use as a blanket, which I only use when I bring my wife or daughter with camping or fishing. I find myself using the elite 22 wide for...
