    Seek Outside in Windy Conditions?

    8 man survived sustained winds on the Alaska Delta a few years back. We had every guy out utilized and rocks on top of the stakes. Garmin weather report forecast 70mph and When we came out of the field, that was verified. All came out ok and wouldn't hesitate to ride out another storm like...

    Peak refuel fail

    My experience is Peak always needs more water than instructions indicate. Stir well initially, and halfway through, then no issues for me. Always have some Peak in my dinner rotation along with other brands and some home made.

    Sold Custom Winchester Model 70 Extreme Weather .338 Win Mag

    Thanks for the heads up. I finally gave up for this season and going with the old gun....nice gun, not enough time to get dialed in between now and the next hunt. Thanks for looking out!

    What's up with .338 Win Mag?

    Thanks for the tip on Bunbroker. I'll pay attention to that site. The Browning x-bolt looks like a nice gun. What kind of accuracy degradation are you seeing with the heavy bullets? I have really liked loading 250's when around bears.

    What's up with .338 Win Mag?

    I am hoping to find some recommendations from the Rokslide community on a new rifle. I have been hunting with a .338 Win Mag for 30 years and my Remington 700 has seen many miles. I'd like to upgrade the rifle for some planned future Alaska and N Canada hunts as well as Idaho backcountry...

    Med Kit

    Many years ago on this site, in a first aid kit thread it was recommended by an EMT to carry prescription pain killers. So....I started carrying 6 left over tabs from a knee surgery. Couple years later, I took a header off a mountain and broke my neck. I was still ambulatory, so didn't know I...

    UK Hunter planning trip of lifetime 2024/2025

    Good for you for pursuing a dream hunt and doing the planning! If you prefer to be "buddied up" I would definitely find a guide. Finding a buddy that you are compatible with being together hours on end in the wilderness is a long-shot. At least a guide is paid to accommodate you as a hunter...

    Idaho unit 39 first time hunting the west

    For the amount of hiking you will need to do to increase your success odds, you'll need much more water/day than I would want to start the day carrying, and I would not want to depend on a life straw for refills. I recommend a real filter system, and my preference is to splice a sawyer filter...
