    Any one have experience with this Hammock Sleeping bag system

    I have the H&B 650 0 deg Hammock bag and for over a year now and love it. I have had it down to 10 deg in my tipi style tent and I was still very warm in it. I bought the bag as I wanted the extra space as I am a side sleeper and I'm 5'9" and 200 lbs so I find most bags are tight for me...

    Luxe tents

    I have the Megahorn 4P with stove jack for the last three years. I use a Lite Outdoors titanium stove in it and have about 60 nights in it so far. I either 4 wheel or canoe it in to my hunting areas. It has held up great and I have had no big issues. Condensations can be a problem as with...

    Bear defense rifle for AK trip

    Most likely you will not need a rifle in Alaska. But if you run into a Grizz you will wish you had the 45-70. The Marlin is a great lever action rifle and perfect for the job. The 45-70 is a great round overall you can just use cowboy action load for smaller game or take anything walking on...

    Sleeping Bag For The Short Guy With Broad Shoulders

    Hyke and Byke makes a Hammock sleeping bag at 0 and 15 Deg. I don't sleep in a hammock but the sleeping bag is 4" wider all around to accommodate the hammock. Im 5'8" 200lbs and a side sleeper and have plenty of room. I just used it up north here in Alaska at 20Deg and it was warm. I got the...

    Chota Tundra Hippie waders

    I have used the Chota Trundra Hippie the last two years in the Alaska interior for fishing and hunting, I love them. They are tough and are holding up well. It's great for Caribou and early Moose season. Later in the fall you have to layer up with socks to keep it warmer or have a good way...

    Mathews Vertix Review

    Chad, I am hoping to get in the 250s but 240 would be nice. I want to keep a heaver arrow as I'm only looking at caribou, moose and possibly grizzly up here.

    Mathews Vertix Review

    Les, With your 65# and 28.5" draw and (what arrow weight you shooting) what kind of speed you looking at? I shoot 65# and 28" draw and a 525gr arrow (Mathews Mission) I only get 210 fps, so my bow is really slow. I am looking to upgrade and think this Vertix can help me pick up some speed...

    How many veterans do we have here. Active service counts too.

    Army, 10 years active and 13 in the reserves. Field Artillery and Civil Affairs, two years in Afghanistan and 6 months in Iraq. Retired in 2008 and now living in Alaska and living the dream. Life is Good. Started bow hunting a year ago and loving it. Unfortunately I just bought a dozen new...

    What’s your rifle weigh?

    I have a Kimber Hunter in .308. I took the gel out of the stock and replaced it with foam. I mounted a Leopold 3x9 CDS. Total weight with empty magazine, sling and neoprene ammo carrier on the stock, 6# 1.7 oz. It shoots good (1 MOA) but I am having to adjust to shooting a lighter weight...

    Looking for that Mountain Rifle out to 500 yards

    I have the Kimber Hunter in .308 SS and a Tikka T3X Lite in 300WSM SS both are excellent rifles IMO. I was just a Tikka fan but dam my Hunter is sweet. If your going to shoot mostly past 300 yds I would go with the 300WSM it has the horsepower for all Alaska game for me. The .308 is my...

    Looking for that Mountain Rifle out to 500 yards

    If your going after moose/ elk I personally would go with the .308 or larger caliber. The 6.5CM is just to light for big game as a general rule. The 6.5 can kill a moose/ elk but its a light weight bullet and IMO to light maybe if you only take broadside shots (double lung/ heart shots) like...
