    Current Diesels in SRW 1 tons, is one better than the other?

    The 10 speed in the new Fords are pretty impressive if you are towing a lot. Have had multiple die-hard other brand fans who tow heavy equipment for a living switch to the Fords around here. From what I have seen, multiple friends with newer gmc/chevy with their trucks in the shop for Def...

    The Rokslide Stock Traders Thread

    multiple people in the discord I listen to everyday made upwards of 6 figures off of a few grand in less than 30 minutes thanks to 0 day spx and spy. I missed the initial move but caught some nvda calls for 150%. This market has been a day traders dream. I was thinking a downside move after the...

    Bipod for Horseback elk hunt?

    I put my Spartan in my saddle bag, i can grab it just as quick as my rifle. . . that being said, I would highly suggest you try not to use a daypack. It will make you personally way more uncomfortable on the horse. Any good outfitter should have large saddle bags on your saddle, and if you cant...

    Tipping

    Im sure wages have changed a bit since I was full time doing it, but yes, guides usually make either a flat monthly wage, or a daily wage. With backcountry type hunts and outfits, usually its a lower wage because your food and living is being provided by the outfitter during the entire season. ...

    Tipping

    you are confusing the guide and outfitter. The outfitter is being paid the price for the hunt, the guide is not. Guides do not choose their wage, not sure how out of touch with it you are, dont really see the point in your commentary on this thread if it doesnt involve you at all

    Tipping

    In my 10 years as a guide in the Frank church and Teton wilderness, I experienced all the above. From great tips to not so great. I can assure you the ones who left not so great, were well remembered and not allowed back. . My normal day during season would be getting up a 3am, saddle horses...

    Breaking Rules, Tack, and Everything Else: My DIY Horseback Hunting Chronicle

    With your setup, I would highly suggest going away from Canvas and Heavy stoves. You just dont have the pack animal capability to make it work well. Get a lightweight style floorless tent and one of the many collapsible titanium type stoves and you can have a great setup for well under 15lbs. I...

    Is backcountry fuel box still a thing?

    It was sold...ran again under a different name..and now they have stopped as well. Guessing the financial side was not worth it with the overhead etc.

    Packing and hunting with horses

    Books and teaching packing are tough. Pretty hard to understand rope knots in words on hitches unless you are already pretty experienced with the basic packing knowledge. I taught packing for 5 years along with Cody and LeRee of Royal Tine guide school. They have been teaching it for over 30...

    If you had to drop 30lbs and couldn’t workout???

    Looking at a majority of the huntresses on social media...It appears Ozempic works wonders for dropping weight quickly with minimal to no effort put into it

    Packing for day

    I run Oversize stirrups year round. They work for after work cowboy slip ons, to late season winter pac boots. And are pretty cheap. You can get synthetic ones off outfitter supply for $30 or less, I run wooden ones with metal banding out the outside for a little more. Just google Overshoe stirrups

    Packing for day

    I take an extra pack animal always.. I can't stand riding with extra weight on my saddle for both myself and my horse. . Horses kidneys sit right below your cantle, ride with a backpack for a full day, and you are not doing your horse any help with their health Sent from my SM-S916U using Tapatalk

    States with most remote backcountry

    Yea, then it calmed down when the fishing went to hell for a while. But now that its back, its busy as hell up there in late June/early July. but you go in august, you wont see anyone for the most part. When i was guiding pack trips 15 years ago up there, it wasnt busy at all during the fishing...

    States with most remote backcountry

    Most remote place in the lower 48 from a road sits in NW WY. I ride my horses there almost every summer. 30+miles from a road in any direction. The Frank is nasty and rugged and remote, but has access from a lot of points, and has airstrips all over.

    What’s the most valuable thing you’ve lost?

    Zeiss Rangefinding Binos...in my bino case, with my license and everything that had my address and all info that could be used to get them back to me. But someone decided they needed them more than being a good person. I had got back to my truck late and set them on the rail of the bed, loaded...

    Current Phone Service

    Im considering the same switch, but because of starlink with tmobile for my backcountry stuff. . You can download the Tmobile app on your verizon phone right now, and get 3 free months of their service via an Esim card, so basically i currently have both Verizon and Tmobile active on my single...
