    Heather's Choice FD Selections

    It might be a seasonal issue. The salmon comes from a cannery in Nikiski. No fish being caught then none being smoked.

    Just picked up a Remington TAC-14 for bear defense

    If we would have had a guy on the range that was a brick layer or body builder, we might have seen just how much forearm strength is needed to operate one fast enough to matter. The torque that the pistol grip puts on your wrist is insane. I've only shot one once. Never again. The mining...

    Just picked up a Remington TAC-14 for bear defense

    Many many years ago my then employer was forced to make us field engineers take a bear/gun safety class. YES! free ammo and range time! I ended up sitting in with a bunch of gold miners from UT that were up to do exploration work for a big operation. Since they were focused on rocks their gun...

    Caribou on Kodiak

    They are reindeer from an old farm operation that have gone totally feral. The ADFG decided a few years ago to magically turn them into caribou so that they can be regulated for hunting. They wander around in open country. They will be where they are when they are there. Get ahead of them and...

    Heathers Choice meals

    Which meals? the breakfasts or the dinners? I've been consuming HC products since she started, but I do not enjoy the breakfasts. Any large amount of any kind of grain/seed no longer seems to process well in my gut. This reads like you have a GI track health issue. How is your gall bladder...

    Looking for recommendation/experience meat hauling frame

    kelty cache hauler...I like this a little bit better than the cabela's alaska frame. However, if I did not want to save money, then a stone glacier frame or a Seek Outside evo frame would be on the list right after a Barney's moose pack.

    Has an Instant Pot been mentioned? Awesome for cooking game roasts

    Everything I have cooked in my IP was cooked through. Tender, sometimes completely falling apart into fibers. If you want to preserve the redness of the meat, try a Anova Sous Vide hot water bath cooking system. So far I have only cooked chicken prior to grilling for a large party, and a few...

    Has an Instant Pot been mentioned? Awesome for cooking game roasts

    They are an awesome tool. 30 minutes start to finish and I have perfectly cooked squash. An hour or so and a pot of stew. Pork shoulder carnita filling needs to be refried to crisp up how we like it.

    Colorado Leftover List is Posted

    When there are hundreds of pronghorn tags across several units, does that mean the units are mostly private land and nobody puts in for the tags, or there are no animals and nobody puts in for the tags, or is it the period of the hunt? AF110L1R is the example with 640 left over tags and all of...

    Traveling with hunting gear - TSA Locks

    When you use TSA luggage locks on luggage there is no way to verify that the TSA mental midgets working the baggage know that they have a master key for that specific lock. I have had a couple conversations with former TSA supervisors and the keys get lost almost as soon as they come in. There...

    16B Transporters

    Hawk Mountain Air might work for hours rather than flat fee. Have you called any of the Soldotna/Kenai based air services? Hours wise they might be end up being the most affordable if you plan on staying close to the inlet.

    All the pics are there right this minute. They are hosted on photobucket according to their link, so what ever system you are using may be blocking the link. Some businesses block all photo sharing sites with their router software.

    Close Look at my '17 Caribou Fly-In Gear List/Meal Plan

    When I'm in this kind of terrain, the food with me doesn't smell much, so I cache it under some rocks...where the pika's, weasels, and marmots tear the hell out of it. When operating out of a tent daily I leave the food secured in a light dry bag in side. So far weasels are the only thing that...

    Ketogenic meal plans - What do you do in the backcountry?

    Insta-pot pork shoulder carnitas out of Nom Nom Paleo. My issue with the insta-pot is that it's a pressure cooker and it really draws any moisture out of the meat which tends to dilute the spices. However, it does cook quickly and creates easy to use base materials. I always refry the carnita...

    Black Bears in the News

    When a bear is outside your tent and stomping it down onto your head, your pepper spray will be trapped inside with you, marinating in a super sized zip lock. Best to have a defensive weapon that will not stay inside the tent when you trigger it.
