    Bear Grease

    Yeah I'd guess it was related to the bear's diet and/or condition. My limited experience is with fall berry bears. Pretty much no smell or if there is, just a very faint fresh smell - nothing off in any way. Very much recommend trying to anyone hunting black bear!

    Bear Grease

    Yes. Don't remember where all I researched but the idea is in the oven it's easier to get a very even low heat to slowly render and avoid any cooked taste. Works great. I'm no expert but be very meticulous is trimming fat of any meat peices and go low and slow.

    Bear Grease

    Easy to render. Super for all sorts of things. Best for roux.

    Lightest & smallest stove for extreme cold?

    The MSR xgk "might" pack smaller than a whisperlite at the cost of a few ounces? I know my dragonfly is much bulkier than my whisperlite fwiw.

    Lightest & smallest stove for extreme cold?

    I'll start with I'm not up to speed on what all is available in canister fuels these days that might work well in sub-zero. I myself go with traditional white gas and my whisper lite international when it's cold.

    1p and 2p tents

    I guess I stand corrected. I should have looked closer at my mid2.

    1p and 2p tents

    I have a Durston midx2 solid. Really like it. Doesn't go fly only, but as above mentioned, if I go floorless I go big. Not familiar with the others but am sure all are great (have an 8 man SO tipi that gets the most use). But on paper comparing the Durston 1xmid solid to the owlee, the...

    So roughly how long does a pair of batteries last?

    Upland Bird Hunting Ear Pro

    Appreciate it if you can give a follow up after some use. Pretty interested in those. Have a friend that swears by his Soundgear Instant Fits. If anyone has experience with those good or bad I'd be interested in hearing.

    Have you had much chance to try these out yet? I'm curious to get some feedback on them.

    Lowa Tibet - will it shrink or stretch?

    I doubt the toe box will stretch much in that boot. I buy tibets in wide which fit my wide front foot/toe box but leave slop in general volume and heel. I also have a pretty high arch. I put in green superfeet insoles and it all comes together about perfectly for my foot. If you like the...

    Let’s see your bird vests.

    Not unless your wing works is worn out and you need a change. My friend has ww and I have a fr. They are both great vests and I'd say pretty equivalent in features, price, and quality. Can't go wrong with either IMO.

    NULA rifles

    If it's in good shape and in a caliber you like - yes. Enjoy it as is or if you care to have it NULA'd up to some extent at Outkast.

    Best and most comfortable pack to carry 60+ pounds?

    For me Seek Outside, but as suggested above and as with boots - whatever quality brand fits you best.

    NULA rifles

    The funky fern leaf pattern is pretty classic NULA as well.

    Fieldcraft is about to be back on the menu boys

    Seekins looks like a nice rifle. I have no complaints with my 3006 FC. It's 6lb, 6 oz with mounted trijicon 3x9 scope, is more accurate than I can shoot and to me has great understated look. I can attest that for me personally i dont want a rifle in that cartridge much lighter - its on the...

    Does cordura suck?

    I won't be ever going back to cordura as my main backcountry pack. I've had great luck with my Xpac and am sure will someday be trying out whatever the latest and greatest fabric is when my current pack gets tired. That said, my primary backcountry trip every year is on the Kenia - so as close...

    Which youth rifle?

    An economical option is the the Mossberg Patriot Bantams. Not high end but very functional.
