    Wall tent vs. Tipi

    So for a camp with 3-4 guys, do many of you use a tipi instead of a wall tent? The more I look at the tipi's, the more I seem to like them. I'm thinking about doing a backcountry elk hunt next year with 3 other guys using llamas to pack in and we'd save a huge amount of weight with an 8 man...

    Bog Pod Spotting Scope

    Has anybody used the spotting scope attachment for their bog pod? Rather than buy a different tripod for my spotting scope, I was considering to just buy the attachment head and use that instead. Thanks!

    Sun burn in the high country?

    So I'll be in New Mexico in 10 days and was just wondering if any of you guys ever get sunburned when hunting at higher elevations? I won't be hunting really high, probably around 7,000-9,000 feet and was thinking if I sit in the sun all day I might get a little red. I'm just curious if this...

    Go Pro Range

    Hey guys, so I am thinking about getting a Go Pro camera and was just curious how far out you can film something and still see it relatively decent? Could a guy use it on a rifle hunt and shoot something at 300 yards and still get decent footage? Also, has anyone tried using one on their head...

    What size sleeping bag?

    So I went to look at some sleeping bags today and the lady there said that you are supposed to get a bag that has at least 3-5 inches of free space at the bottom of the bag. She said having the extra space will make the bag warmer. I'm about exactly 6 feet tall and tried a 6 foot bag and I...

    Leaving elk overnight.

    If a guy makes a marginal shot on an elk and leaves it overnight, what are the odds that it won't be spoiled in the morning? From all that I've read, guys have said that even if you shoot a bull, gut it and then leave it overnight to skin and debone, they have had meat spoil on them. So if you...

    How much cooler space

    Hey guys, 4 of us are going to New Mexico for elk this October. I know all 4 of us tagging out is probably a longshot, but how many coolers should we take? Sounds like a boned out bull elk can take up to 200-250 quarts of cooler space. Should we be taking 800+ quarts worth of cooler space...

    Where to get quality boots?

    Maybe this has been discussed before and I missed it, but are there any stores out west that has a bunch of different quality boots? Like Lowa, Kenetrek, Schnees or others? I'd like to buy a high quality pair of boots but it would be nice to try some on before I buy them.

    HELP! Shin splints

    So in January, I decided to sign up for a half marathon on the hope that I'd draw an elk tag this fall and that way I'd be in good shape. Well I drew the tag which is good but the race is this Sunday and now I've got shin splints. I haven't run in the last 10 days and have been icing them...
