Toilet paper or wet wipes?
Tried out a backcountry bidet this year and have to say I’m a fan. I also live by the words of the great Redd Foxx: “you gotta wash your ass”.- Pootros

Personal Locator Beacon/SPOT... 50 square miles
I second the InReach or Zoleo. The Spot uses a low orbit satellite and the others use a much more robust system. The Zoleo uses a phone number that you can keep year to year as well. As someone who does rescues in the backcountry, having someone with the ability to relay pertinent information...- Pootros

Advice for 18 year old starting spring bear for the first time
I’m pretty new to spot and stalk bear hunting myself but I was taught the old adage to “chase the green”. Find areas that are lush, with dandelions being a plus. Also chase the bait. If you spot elk and deer with fawns, there is a good chance a bear will be near by. We have found that being up... -

Emergency Kit
A tourniquet is a solid idea and a literal life saver. The Combat Application Tourniquet is the cat’s pajamas. Mine fits in the misc pouch below my AGC bino harness. -

Insulated mountaineering boot
I second the La Sportiva Nepals. They are stout but be wary of the break in period. Mine took a hundred miles and I still tape my heels. I found the key to comfort was to not lace them very tight. -

Hunting Supressed
I leave mine on as well but keep in mind that if you have a traditional sling, it becomes a real PITA. You will be fighting it most of the day as the rifle becomes pretty “top” heavy. A gun bearer or something like that is a better option.- Pootros

6.5 PRC build with some action/fit questions
You could prob get an Impact Precision 737 with a Proof barrel in a month from Blue Mountain Precision. I have one of theirs in a Manners EH1 with the mini chassis and it is stupid accurate, even with factory loads. I think I was three weeks from the time of order to it being at my door. The...- Pootros

What action for 6br?
You looked at Impact Precision at all? Incredible actions and the ability to swap a barrel at home is a real plus. I have one in 6.5 PRC and it is smooth as they come. Not cheap, but no more gunsmith fees.- Pootros

DIY Moose hunting trip 2020
My hunt with Bay Air was in 1996 so my opinion might be a bit dated. They provided us with a wonderful experience all around and I can’t recommend them enough. Tom was able to provide us a Zodiac with a motor which was fairly crucial to expanding our hunting area. He also placed us in an area... -

First hunt coming up, need pants.
My vote would be for the Sitka Mountain pants. I wear them from August to November. And the built in knees pads are the cat’s pajamas.
