    WANTED: Your Top 5 Base Camp Tips or Hacks

    1. Electric chainsaw is awesome. QUIET. 2. Nighttime Advil. 3. No Alcohol Heineken. I drink beer but this has no alcohol and taste just as good. Trust me when I say stick to this for the first few days if you are coming from sea level to 11,000 feet. 4. I use a single burner propane stove...

    I had an 8 foot section for a golite shangrila 4. When I got a 6 tipi I hot 3 more feet of the same diameter titanium pipe and put the short end on the bottom and use a damper coupler I got. When I got an 8 person tipi, I got a new stove and just bought the correct size pipe. I bought all...

    Apple announced satellite comm texting - no more in reach???

    Yeh that’s interesting that technically they are saying it’s free for two years after you activate it. But there appears to be no release of a cost plan after that as far as I can tell.

    No extra cost. Free feature on the newer phones.

    Apple announced satellite comm texting - no more in reach???

    That’s what I thought in 2008, but at some point the benefits outweigh the irritation. I still refuse to buy an apple computer.

    Apple announced satellite comm texting - no more in reach???

    Well I got the new phone (16) and IOS 18 on it. My brother has the 14 & the iOS 18 installed. He’s behind some mountain in Colorado. We’ve been texting back-and-forth all afternoon using the satellite. Works like a champ. Hard to gripe.

    Suppressors - first round impact shift

    You need to try various ammo. I shoot all my groups suppressed if I have a rifle with threads. I note the deviation if no can is on and figure those will be close shots as I’m moving. In one rifle, LMT MWS with omega can, I get a 2 MOA shift between can or no can with 168 FGMM. I get...

    Boots for Wide Feet

    You have exactly the same two models I have. The wide actually work in Crispi and the heel doesn’t slip. I find that if I go up in size on other brands to accommodate my massive girth (on my feet) then I get heel slippage.

    Use of Walkie Talkies in CO

    Sketchy - “Look at meadow 3, I see 4 cows and a bull on the right side.” or “Come to my position now, I’ve got a herd bugling right below me in the timber.” Probably Okay - “Hey man, I’m headed up to X location, see you at camp after dark.” Or “how about we meet up for lunch?” Or “I got a...

    A health revolution brewing?

    I went to Greece this summer. When you see what they serve even in the restaurants you will understand that the American diet is processed shit.

    Tipi stove question

    Buddy heaters are okay for getting warm to drink coffee in morning or to stay toasty as you heat up a mountain house meal. Expect condensation. If you want to chill in the tent by the stove while reading a book, drinking whiskey and waiting out a rain squall, wood is the answer.

    Need mounting advise: SAKO Finlight

    Yep, near rail is dandy. Easy peasy. Previous poster is correct. Mr Near is super responsive and a hoot to chat with. You have to pop into place with a hammer using a hard wood block. It stays put and has a set screw underneath. Then you slap whatever rings you like on it. Theoretically the...

    First Negligent Discharge.

    Those are awful big guns for walking around for piggies. You need an LMT or Seekins semiautomatic in 7.62. 😎

    First Negligent Discharge.

    PROPS TO POSTER FOR THE REMINDER. I always habitually pull the bolt to the rear to pull the hot round - before dropping any magazine on any bolt action. Once mag is pulled, eyeball chamber or pinkie finger it if it’s dark. Safety stays on unless I’m about to literally pull the trigger on...

    Boot Leak, Miserable Feet, how do I prevent this?

    1. The other thing is to use snow-seal. Every August, I slather 1/3 of a container on my elk boots and let them bake in the hot sun. Usually two applications does the trick. Does this kill breathability; Probably but I wear thin socks and move slowly when I hunt. 2. As mentioned goretex socks...
