    Is there a place for a 20 gauge?

    Partially sarcasm....but. I am a left eye dominant shooter. Trained myself to shoot Left Handed from Go. I am dedicated and married to left handed firearms. There's no need to tell me how you shoot a right handed gas gun just fine.....I won't. I've been a die hard Waterfowler my whole...

    3 Day internal frame scouting pack-No Meat

    I seem to be stuck on the Kifaru Kutthroat. Suggestions on an internal frame 3 day scouting pack? Been a long time Kifaru guy. Really never strayed for 15 years. The Seek packs seem very appealing. More spendy than a Kutthroat. Have plenty of pockets, etc to swap out if I stay w Kifaru...

    Internal frame packs from Kifaru in 4000ci All Time?

    I've followed Kifaru since back in the day when you had to write a letter and request a hard copy 3 page "catalog". Took me many many years to get the money for one of Patrick's famous USA, Hand Made packs. Fast forward to the Aron Aara, and packs osmotically spawned weekly. I have a schit...

    WTS Griffin Co. Scout 2.5 brass/Magna

    Waited quite a while for this knife. Found other things I liked better before it got here. Catch and Release. I am original owner. You can even have the stickers. Never put in pocket or carried. MagnaCut and brass scales. Has some heft to it. Nice piece. I just prefer one size...

    Silex as an every trip emergency shelter?

    For years I've carried a Kifaru SuperTarp as an emergency shelter. I have no real reason to change other than living between a few locations. I am in a position to somewhat need duplicates or splitting gear at two homes. And I like gear. Not sure the weight penalty, but think the SuperTarp...

    WTS Half Face Blades Crow Feather Light

    Bought a handful of HFB these last few months. Finally found happy. Enroute I bought and handled a few. Like to move the ones I don’t care to keep. As title says…Crow profile. Feather Light. Thinner blade stock. .10”. S45VN. Scales are black burlap Micarta, brass and black G10 pins...

    WTB Leupold VX-R Scout/Firedot 1.5-5X

    Pretty rare and most are gonna keep what they got. But just trolling to add to a new lever gun and hoping others might have played with one and moved on from a project. Pretty sure I am only interested in this discontinued optic, and no desire to slum a Vortex or the newer Leupold Freedom...

    Power case trimming for staight wall cases?

    I've invested into the Little Crow case trimmer. Love it. But realize it works off the shoulder. I shoot lots of 45LC and the trimming and BS keeps me from shooting 45-70 as much as I could. I HATE TURNING the hand crank on trimmers. Sure...for $90 I could suck it up and hand trim. But is...

    Lever Action barrel chop- Gunsmith suggestions?

    I seem to be a One Off when it comes to finding "Happy" with rifles. A lifetime of Left-Handedness takes most of the joy out of visiting gun shops. And I seem to run in a 20 year circle of stuff that was Kool....lost its appeal, got sold...and is not cool again, but Unobtainium. I had a 1 of...

    Tikka Magazines- 300WSM and 6.5PRC and limited COAL

    I would think this has been covered many times. I've attempted a handful of searches, but come up empty. What are the work arounds for Tikka magazines and COAL issues with the Short/Fats? I had a T3X in 300 WSM pruned to 19" and really like it as an overall lightweight mountain rambler...

    College Wrestling?

    We got a decent thread rolling last year around NCAA Finals. Any fans have thoughts so far mid season? @LostArra ? Looks like you got a decent coaching staff now.....

    Any flyfishing raft guys? looking to buy one

    Moving down to Salmon, Idaho. Want to advance from a walking/wading fishing guy to floating. I've fished with my good friend on the Mo a handful of times and he's directing me toward what to look for. He's in a Star and admits there are better and more stout vessels. I've skimmed over...

    Spikes and Buttons breeding

    I am NOT a whitetail junky or fanatic. But I do shoot them and hunt them. Wanted to ask a general question. This north Idaho and eastern Washington. I live rural and have 10-15 deer in the yard nightly. We have some funky genetics. Lots of right sides are under developed or melted. And...

    Day Pack Weight- How much is too much?

    I decided to weigh my day pack after an all day ramble last week. I was kinda shocked. For the hunting style I was doing at the time....my day load out was 36.9lbs. That DID NOT INCLUDE my bino harness and binos. That went with me every step, much of it was off trail, no clue on how much...

    WTB Kifaru 14'r or Taryall

    Looking for a stand alone Day pack for use without a belt. I already have a 14'r. Love it. Looking for a second or spare. Taryall in consideration also....possibly even more than 14'r. Anyone out there with something in the gear room or storage collecting dust? Might be a color snob, but...

    Source for practice ammo and best suggestion for reloadable hulls?

    My shotgunning is TERRIBLE. It's embarassing. I really need some work. Some time on clays and probably professional instruction. It's been decades since I've reloaded shotgun ammo. But I am anxious to get back into it. No progressive press, but a few hundred or more per year would keep me...

    eBay clothing smells- How to get rid of them?

    I buy a handful of wool "vintage" clothing off eBay. Yea...not too proud. I should maybe buy new and full price for how many "vintage" wool Pendelton shirts in XL I've won...that are maybe Medium at best after they've been washed and shrunk for 25 years.... Many have a Funk. Some strong Musk...

    Non Toxic reloading and lead poisoning

    I will most likely have to don my Flame Suit...as this is gonna be pretty gay...but. I am very enamored by the Upland game. And will be making some life changes very soon that will afford me much more time, and location, for real upland hunting. Think central Idaho chukar. Been a LONG time...

    WTB Browning Cynergy?

    Taking a short and quick stab here. Anyone have a synthetic Browning Cynergy in a corner they wanna move? Would love the old school camo/bronze Wicked Wings but don't know if I wanna pay for it. Cynergy CX or whichever the synthetic stainless w adjustable comb is probably the route I'll...
