    Trijicon Accupoint 3-9 x 40

    My guess would be they are more expensive than most 1 inch (lighter weight) Leopolds? Certainly less marketed.

    I have one on my fieldcraft - I like it a lot.

    Using Osprey pack for backcountry hunt

    It all depends. How far are you going in, how many days, what time of year, solo or a group, what are you hunting, etc. I certainly got along without a good hunting pack for a long time. If you connect it may be a couple extra trips depending on the above. Or you can get a cheap frame pack...

    Nalgene bottle or Hydration Bladder or Both?

    I use the 48oz HDPE "ultralite" Nalgene. The HDPE's are significantly less weight. Depending on the trip I supplement with Gatorade bottles. I also might have a titanium mug if I think I might need to heat water.

    Seek Outside Silex is the DCF worth it?

    Another con, depending on your situation, of dcf that I observed in a friend's tent (not a SO) is that the it's relative pack size is larger - very noticeable in his.

    Tips for Neutralizing Fishy Flavor

    I ate yellowfin sushi last night that was frozen over a year. It's better fresh and you may need to trim, but it stores ok. You might try smoking some or poaching for tuna salad. The canning idea might work as well.

    Favorite/best headlamp?

    Nevermind I see you already answered the question of this battery vs aaas. Thanks!

    Favorite/best headlamp?

    You can get converters that usually work pretty well. I to would like to have a common usb-c cord so I only need on between camera, phone and bank. I'm new to these modern rechargeables. I got a bad taste with the old aa/aaa rechargeables years ago and never tried again (less light for fewer...

    Is Camo necessary?

    The advantage of camo is that it helps hide unsightly blood stains. ;)

    If you had $600 what muzzleloader would you get?

    I'd find a clean used TC Hawkin or Renegade, or a used Lyman Great Plains. But I'm a traditional ML guy (I shoot a flint). Let us know what you end up with!

    Versatile hunting dog?

    My concern with DD's, based on zero first hand knowledge just reading everything I can find, is perhaps too much prey drive and what is often referred to as sharpness. I spend a lot of time at my cabin and my field Goldens have free reign while I'm cutting wood or working on a project or...

    Can a tanned bear hide still be made into a rug

    generally yes, that's the first step. So provided the head was properly caped and such, you should be good to go.

    Looks great - hope you continue a zipperless bag option like the Fortress in the new fabrics or in a custom option.

    Favorite garden vegetable or fruit

    I like lots of herbs on hand - both annuals and perennials. Thyme, basil, cilantro, parsley, loveage, mint, Sage, etc. I really enjoy raising hardneck garlic. Our best "discovery" last year was komatsuna, a Japanese mustard. It way out produced our spinach both in output and production time...

    22LR - scope?

    I've got a Leopold 2-7vx1 with the parrelax turned down to 50 yards. It works great on my rugger 77/22. There are some good rimfire or shotgun scopes that will have a closer parrelax setting. Lots of others can be relatively easily changed as well (like mine), or you can get a scope with AO...

    Setup for Buffalo ( American Bison ) questions

    There certainly is plenty of history of bison being hunted with much more traditional set ups than yours. At the proper range and waiting for the right shot you should be fine. I might up the arrow weight and make the broadhead change you are contemplating. Might bring 2 or 3 of your...

    Seek outside

    No, have the 8 with the carbon pole. We've backcountry hunted pretty far in with 3 and the stove and it was very double weight wise. But 3 with stove with rifles, packs, all gear, wood, a couple stools, socks and long underwear hanging drying, etc.....it was very full. With some organization...
