    Trekking poles with extra functionality

    BD carbon trekking poles whippet ready. On sale. These worked well on a recent alpine hunting trip with a whippet (ice axe) head. I didn't have to bring an ice axe. Not a full ice axe replacement, but more like 75% functionality.

    Kitchen renovation appliances

    Let me jump in. We were able to buy our appliances through a separate company that did the install. They also warranty the work and provide flawless service the only time we needed it and it was so minor. I would try that route if you can. I'll echo others that Thermador has a great...

    Kitchen renovation appliances

    Copy. I don't think I understood. Subzero has no ice dispenser option as well. It has an ice maker, but it's a drawer. I think Miele's is the same/similar. FYI. I'm not a contractor. My experience is as a homeowner so my sample size is smaller. Good luck!

    Kitchen renovation appliances

    I second Subzero/Wolf if you can. It can come with no water dispenser but includes ice. Why no ice? Miele might be one to look at.

    Duffle bag as luggage

    I've used an extra large North Face duffle for years (~25) domestically and internationally with no problems. That being said, I just got back from a trip and noticed some wear that is finally catching up with it. I'll likely retire it for another. Airline hunt travel for me is rifle case +...

    .300wsm barrel length

    I don't think it matters for the most part. 25" would have less muzzle blast. I have one at 24" and the other 18.5". The second one I run suppressed. Both work great. Good Luck!

    Have cancer. Going to Seattle for medical reasons. Fishing? Hiking tidbits?

    I'm guessing you'll be at the Hutch for treatment. World class. Good luck. The easy/fun button is jigging for squid on the Seattle waterfront in the evenings in the summer. After that, it's looking for guides. Hood Canal and the San Juans are great. Also consider floating/fishing the...

    Feedback on backcountry elk loadout

    Have fun. It sounds like a great adventure. Smart water bottles work well. I use a light weight nalgene that I like better because it doesn't weigh that much more than a smart botte, it has a wider mouth which is easier for me to fill, and is thicker for a little more durability. I do...

    Hunting Turkey during the eclipse

    I have no idea what hunting is like during an eclipse. I have been in two total eclipse’s. The thing I noticed was during totality, the birds went silent. It lasted about 5-10 minutes and then seemed to go back to normal. I’m guessing it will be a unique experience if you get one.

    Flextail Zero Pump experience

    Worked great for me on a recent trip. I have a new one, and it is rechargeable. It has a removable battery with a usb-c port for recharging. It inflated my pad in less than a minute. I tried it once to deflate, but I found it easier to deflate without it. My pad is a Therm-a-Rest xtherm if that...

    Corned venison recipe?

    Thickness + surface area + cure concentration determine cure time. For those not curing to the center means it needs to cure longer. I've never tried injection, so that may work, but I wonder how consistent it would be. For reference, I corned a brisket for pastrami. The recipe said for the...

    Accubond BCs. Are they overstated?

    Hey all, I'm looking for opinions and experience with accubonds. They group well in my rifle. I'm finding they don't hold up velocity though. Is anyone else experiencing this? The G1 for the 6.5 140 accubond is .509 yet it behaves more like it's in the mid .4s. I would appreciate your...

    We ran out of time and had to freeze meat and butcher at home

    I think the key thing is to let it thaw slowly before cutting. That's what a butcher would do with frozen elk quarters we dropped off. I'm not sure why, but others have mentioned it on this post as well.
