    StairMaster Hiit Mill X

    Overpriced by a long shot, but still one of my favorites. The resistance is a feature that's hard to find on other self powered treadmills. And there's a sled push feature that's also a hell of a go. If you can weld, build it for 1/3 the price, but the premise is good.

    Dedicated spot and stalk bear trip.

    You're probably in one of the most underrated bear hunting spots in North America. My experience has been the action starts to slow down in mid Oct. (I think they're more triggered by light cycles than temps) but you can certainly keep finding em into Dec at that elevation. They seem to stay...

    Battery packs

    I know backcountry nav works in airplane mode, and if I'm not tracking on GPS I can get three days a charge on it. +1 on the anker batt packs. Cheap and solid performance.

    Glassing pad

    That helinox definitely looks comfortable, but I've been running double duty on the zpad for too many years to quit now

    camper shell recommendations

    I'm an aluminium fan. Less cracking from UV and battle rattle. They're usually framed with 1" tubing, so I run 1" polystyrene insulation and a skim sheet of maple veneer to cut condensation. Also a fan of side access doors.

    Oregon sw spring bear

    Unless you jumped em I doubt you blew em out for days. I've seen bears cut the trail I walked up a couple hours earlier and turn and walked away, but bolt like a greyhound when they catch a surprise whiff. I'd be inclined to mt. bike the roads and glass morning and evenings, and hike behind...

    Idaho spring bear info

    Don't rule out using the snow to make your own "wilderness area". Find valleys where the only access is via snow covered ridge roads. Snowshoe over and have a valley of your own!

    budget fat tire bike suggestions

    I can't get on the fat tire hype train. Unless you have a paper route in Minneapolis they don't make a lot of sense. Most 650b/27.5 will take a 2.6 and a 29er will fit a 3.0

    Quilt vs. mummy bag

    Rectangular down bag might be a comprise between the two.

    Oregon sw spring bear

    I've always had good successes still hunting and ambushing skunk cabbage patches first two weeks of may in the rogue. The frustrating part is you won't see bears for days, but if you're reading the bear sign right you'll find a lunker. And this is probably a case of confusing coincidence with...
