    Ode to the commode

    I have shamelessly gotten into the habit of building stone toilets in particularly stunning locations in the sheep hills. My first trip out chasing sheep I made due leaning on a rock and bearing with the discomfort of the previously unnoticed jagged edges while I hurriedly handled my business...

    Anyone tried Wild Things Gear?

    I tried their eVent jacket and pants about 5 years ago and thought the construction was solid. I didn't like the pants because they didn't have a belt and would ride down. I did like the jacket but someone liberated it from my pickup before I could really test it out and I ended up replacing it...

    Super-zoom vs Digi-scope

    I have been pretty set on a plan to get a point n shoot and add a digiscope adapter to it. Recently I have seen some pretty incredible images coming from some of the "hybrid" point and shoot cameras with ridiculous zoom. The Canon SX50 for instance seems like it would be an extremely useful...

    Just how much time in the field do you really get?

    Luke and I were chatting yesterday and got to an interesting topic. We have been friends since 2007 and have gone on a few hunts together. That said I would be more than lucky to get 1/10th the time in the field that he does! I work a regular job and have a great wife who is my partner in...

    Best deal you have ever found on a piece of gear

    Much of my pack is loaded with gear that I have painstakingly researched and found at often deep discounts. There are many "scores" that I am pretty darn proud of but a couple stand out to me. The 1/2 off golite tents is a one many people I think have taken advantage of so I will leave it off...
