    WTS SWFA 3-9x MIL and 6x MIL

    Selling my stable of SWFA scopes to fund an RS1.2 I have on the way. Both purchased in ‘22 (IIRC), and I am the original owner. The 3-9x was my main hunting scope, has a few cosmetic blemishes, but is in great working condition. Asking $675 shipped US. Would consider a LH tikka rokstock as a...

    2024/2025 Trapping thread

    Been playing cat and mouse with a lynx the last few weeks. Was set up for fox and he walked over my snare, I dipped and he dodged, etc. so I said enough with it and built a walk-through snare pen for him. Have another dozen and a half snares out and about along with a few marten boxes. I’m...

    SCI convention for finding a hunt?

    There are a lot of quality outfitters there, so odds are good. If you’re looking to get to know a few outfitters I would recommend going Wednesday and/or Thursday. Friday and Saturday are always slammed and the ability to sit down at a booth and have a meaningful conversation becomes more...

    New Durston X-Dome for Alaska hunts??

    I recently saw a YouTube video where some thru-hiking influencer was testing the X-Dome and ripped one of the tie-outs off the tent in fairly common (in my limited experience) sheep hunting winds. I believe it was a pre-production model fwiw. If I see the video again I’ll post it up.

    Your (limited to 3) top gear items for 2024

    1.) 40” X-Vision Light Bar on my 2023 Chevy 2500. I’ll never own another 1/2 ton and I’ll never own a vehicle without a light bar as long as I live in AK. That’s two I guess. 2.) Enlightened Equipment Enigma 30* Quilt 3.) Soon to be delivered Maven RS 1.2 MIL

    Tikka T3X Go with Sportsmatch or Rail and Rings?

    Neither. Do it right the first time by saving for another month or two and picking up a pair of the Unknown Munitions rings.

    If you’re going the bunny boot route most people consider the “BATA”s the premium maker.

    Dress Chukka suggestion?

    Clarks desert boots is the answer. I bought myself a pair over 9 years ago, on my 21st bday, and still use them today (a lot). They’re all leather, and like all leather products, have aged very nicely and are incredibly comfortable once they broke in. They look better today than they did when...

    2024/2025 Trapping thread

    Trapped a bunch of beaver this fall, including my biggest (52lbs) and smallest (sub 20), and snared my first fox last week! After finding a little sign, I put a few marten boxes out that haven’t produced yet. We got a 5” dump of snow last night and I’m eager to get out this week for fresh...

    Cheap Stuff that Works

    Been really liking this little knife that I first heard about on Tundra Talk. For $30 and 1.5 oz it’s a damn good value proposition when compared to similar weight replaceable blade knives. I’ve skinned several beavers, a few dozen ducks and grouse, and a grizzly with it so far and don’t have...

    Sleeping Bag?

    My hunting partner used a 0* chilkoot on our sheep hunt this year. We were wet everyday and the bag had no issues.

    Suggestions on Caliber in Light Weight Rifle

    It may not be for you, but you'd be smart to read the thread with an open mind. You're completely disregarding a literal mountain of information that would be beneficial to your question. Several have already made helpful comments.

    Hilleberg Rogen vs. Allak

    Did you ever use the Allak without the inner? If so, how was it and would you happen to know the weight of that set up?
