    Moose Hunt - Fishing Help needed

    I head, gut, scale than cook whole. The smaller the fish the better for quick crispy cooking in small pans. Maybe not as ultralight as your looking for, but bring some seasoned flour a little high temp oil like peanut oil and your set for some great eating.

    Alaska travel

    A quick google search should point you to a testing location, I would call the provider first to check their turnaround times. If they are slow see if they allow you to take a rapid test for quicker results.

    Alaska travel

    As of yesterday the turnaround in Kotz has been pretty quick, an hour or so. I personally have just been rapid testing in anchorage then flying to Kotz, showing my results and flying out to the bush with no problems. As soon as you leave the airport terminal in Kotz there is a herd of health...

    New Tire Recommendations

    Was never impressed with the BFG ATs for anything but graded dirt roads, the new ones may be better not sure. I have had good luck with duratracs and at3's. If I was an easterner making a hunting trip a year, I would probably run those tires and wear them out before buying new ones. But for sure...

    Lady frame and pack sizing advice?

    Take a look at SO's divide 4500. My wife uses a unaweep 6300 with stock height 24" stays and likes it.

    Which Benelli M2 12 Gauge for do all shotgun?

    You can put a lighter spring in if cycling low brass is a dealbreaker. Although the M2 I used never had an issue seems like it should without modification?

    Which Benelli M2 12 Gauge for do all shotgun?

    I have used an older M2 12 26" tube, great shotgun. I currently use a 26" tubed Montefetltro 12GA, also a great shotgun. I wouldn't worry about 2" extra or less, If I had the choice I would go for a longer tube on a scattergun. The M2 is great a shotgun, cant go wrong there. Also, I saw an M2 on...

    Loaded rounds wont chamber??

    Color you're cartridge from the bullet to the shoulder of the case with a sharpie, try to chamber it, eject it, look to see where your interference is. Sounds like your jamming lands but the sharpie will tell you for sure.

    Redcliff for 4 People

    Im sure anything is possible, but per SO specs they state "3 with stove". If every ounce truly counts I wouldn't be bringing a stove. Maybe look at a 8 man tipi if a stove is mandatory.

    overnight bivouac

    Last year sort off, stalked a group at first light, got hung up on another group between us and the legal rams ended up waiting for a long period of time before they moved off. Ended up doubling at last light, made it back to camp around 9am. It wasn't bad, nice change of pace from the 8-5...
