    Short Barreled 280AI

    Getting 3025fps out of my 18” with 143 Hammer Hunters. It doesn’t have much free bore so I’m jamming the lands loading 3 grains below what I run in my 22”. Researching increasing free bore with a throating reamer.

    Bivy out tempts me but fears keep me at bay

    First things first, just go for it. That said, prepare yourself for an encounter and be ready to react. I’ve had years in Colorado that I’ve come face to face with bears several times a day. Also had years where I didn’t see any. Having a tag in your pockets helps with the latter 🤣. I hunt...

    Clearing Land

    I’ll second the forestry mulcher. There is no better tool for that job. I would check local classifieds for someone doing it for hire with their machine though. By the time you rent a skid and the mulching head AND get the hang of using it, you’ll be well over $1k.

    Impact driver for barrel removal?

    I’d rather deal with finish issues on the outside of the action than risk creating issues with the internal machining.

    Gaiters for thick legs

    I was blessed with large calves also -just measured and they're 17.5". Outdoor research has several sizes available but their sizing chart sucks. I will check the size of mine tonight.

    Below zero meat management

    Just like @WKR said. Quarter it and into game bags to keep it clean. Cold weather meat management is so much easier than warm temps.
