    Solar light for showing location of camp.

    Anyone ever use a small solar light that turns itself on when it gets dark to show where camp is? I have always thought it would be good to have something you can leave on or near camp in alpine areas. Be handy when coming back to camp in the dark.

    Whatever happened to Luke and Becca?

    I just had the sudden thought that I haven't seen them post here for years. I used to enjoy reading of their Alaska adventures with kids in tow.

    Jetboil SOL Ti burner compatibility

    My SOL Ti pot finally gave up. All the fins detached from the base. The burner is fine so I'm wondering if a Zip pot will fit on the SOL Ti burner?

    Inreach mini battery life

    I'm sure this has been covered already but I couldn't find it on a search. How long can I expect the battery to last with sending a message each night? Turned off the remainder of the time.

    Solunar almanac

    Anyone use a hunting and fishing almanac? Do you find it accurate? Is it something you consult when planning a trip? My little Garmin eTrex10 GPS has one but I've never really paid attention to it. I should sit down and go through my trailcam pics and compare dates and times to the almanac and...

    Schnee Granite Pro

    Are these still available? I can't find them on their website but if I do a search for them they come up. Just weird that I can't see them via their website. Was looking at getting a pair

    WTB Jetboil SOL TI

    The cup on my SOL Ti just started to burn out the fins after some of them detached from the base. If you have a cup you want to part with let me know. Thanks

    Float tube fishing

    Anyone use a float tube for packing into areas not accessible with a canoe or kayak? There are places I fish that can only be reached on foot and I have often thought a packable float tube would be good. What tubes are people using for this? What wader setup do you need for cold water?

    How much lead for plonk anchor for 12ft boat?

    I have a 12ft fishing boat and I want to make a plonk anchor for use in impoundments with lots of submerged timber. I don't want to use my sand anchor for fear of entanglement and having to cut it loose. How much lead is heavy enough? I want it to be heavy enough without being excessive. I...

    My reduced load shoots to the left

    I have been playing with a reduced load in my .222rem which consists of 20gr of AR2206H (H4895 in American speak) behind a 40gr JHP used in .22wmr ammo, for 2550fps. I bought 250 of these bullets loose. Groups nicely, with a 3 shot group of about 3/4" at about 80m but it's 4" left of where my...

    Stove jack fabric

    I have a couple of projects to install stove jacks on. What is the fabric made from? Some sort of coated fibreglass cloth? What is the coating? Is it silica cloth? I just called an industrial supply company here in Australia and they weren't keen on the idea of using silicone coated...

    Small box stove

    I just got given a no name 2 man tipi that I want to use a stove in. Anyone make something about the size of a Kifaru small box stove? I only see medium and bigger stoves. That will just be to big and hot for what I need it for. Needs to be back packable as I will use it as a solo shelter and...

    Charging an InReach mini from a AA battery bank

    Has anyone used a AA battery bank to charge an inreach mini? One of those chargers that you put 4x AA batteries in and you can then plug a USB cable in to charge various devices. My GPS and torch use AA batteries so I figure I can utilize spare AA that I carry as a means to charge my Inreach...

    Dickinson shotguns

    Any experiences with Dickinson semi auto shotguns? I'm in Australia and semi autos aren't available to the average gun owner. Our market is flooded with 'straight pull' shotguns which are basically a deactivated semi auto which you have to cycle manually between shots. This gets around our...

    Reduced .270W load with sierra pro hunter 110gr

    I'm cooking up a youth load in my .270W for pigs and deer. I'm using the Sierra #1810 110gr pro hunter bullet. My current load is 39grs of AR2206H (I think it's H4895 in USA speak) for 2530fps. I believe this is close to a factory load in a 6.8SPC with a 110gr bullet. Any experience with this...
