    Sock woes. heavy padding vs light

    Darn tough, liner, and then Luekotape on your hot spots. Some of us get hot spots no matter what. When you figure out where they will always develop, learn to tape them. I've had Luekotape last 6 days without any separation from my skin.

    Rancher vs Elk in OR

    That is craptastic justification. People from outside the county are not familiar with our fence lines...then draw them a map and show them where on the map they can take an elk and where they can't.

    Help me put together a fly rod quiver for Alaska please.

    Naknek drainages means healthy king runs. Not monsters, but a lot of medium heavy fish. I would think about going larger than an 8wt. I have fought a few 25-30 pound kings later in the summer on an 8wt while hunting silvers and its hard on me and the fish. Pro level fisherman should be much more...

    Need opinion for back country shape

    Do something to mimic downhill hiking under load. Find some actual stairs in a stadium or tall building and bound down them. A sheep guide acquaintance swears by box jumps. He focuses specifically on getting off the box as much as jumping up onto it. Do not favor either leg when getting off the...

    Nonresident hunters under attack on the North Slope- HB211

    Keep in mind that legislative bills are not how the fish and game management of AK is conducted. Its left to appointed boards which consider proposals which are reviewed by the public and once approved by the board are turned into regulations. This act is not going to go anywhere...but how...

    DIY Moose hunt suggestions

    You need to read that link I posted. There are other threads for sheep hunts that spell it out the same. On 24Hour Campfire there are other threads on his operation that spell it out as well. You need to make a choice about the experience you want to have based on the experiences others have...

    Lead levels ams shooting ranges.

    There are some other recent studies that show there to be a measurable reduction in cognitive abilities at 5 microg/dL. Kind of eye opening.

    For those that twist their own wrenches...

    Just experimented with a master cylinder for my project truck. The part is more expensive than the same part using NAPA, and I pay $27 for priority mail, 11 bucks less than the cost of the part. The master cylinder from several small businesses is placed in a flat rate priority box for less than...

    For those that twist their own wrenches...

    It is one of the worse aspects about living in AK. Rock Auto will not ship anything up here now that they are fully entrenched with Big Brown. I have to have them shipped to my Dad in ID and then he will stick a stamp on the box to get it up here. Gave upon RA in 2006. I am building a tundra...

    Planning Moose Hunt

    DIY in AK means...you have your own river jet boat, or super cub on bush wheels, or larger than typical off road vehicle. If you don't have those then you will be using a service of some kind to get to where you want to hunt and then get out. Depending on the type of service they might have...

    Toe Numbness?

    If the sensation is in your toe and travels up your leg, then you could tie it into a back issue or a tight psoas muscle in your pelvis. Otherwise its isolated to your boots and what your feet are doing in them.

    Self Dehydrated Meals

    if your meat is not rehydrating well, then it does not have enough surface area (too large a particle). I don't dry a fully made meal. I dry a sauce and then grind it up into a powder in the food processor. Then I combine the powdered sauce and carb base in the bag. This helps with rehydrating...

    Hippers, Waders...which ones?

    I've been using the cabelas waist high breathable wader pants for several years for pretty much all my wet outdoor fun. I use an older style of Korker Guide boots with swappable inserts for various needs. The cabelas stuff is cheap and it shows with the seams in the crotch mostly. Perfectly...

    Processing in Anchorage?

    You have to read the regulations to see if there is a specific rule for the species being taken. Most units state all the bones including ribs have to come out. Due to how I cut up the rear, I have left the pelvis in the field on some caribou as there was nothing attached to it once I was done...

    Alaska summer vacation

    In Talkeetna, one of the owners of Denali Brewing also owns the restaurant on main street. Looks like they changed to name to Denali Brew Pub. I like the water out of Whittier better than out of Seward. Twice I have taken family to Seward and we could not get out of the bay due to the size of...
