    Recommend 8+ Seat Vehicle?

    Our honda odyssey fits 8 pretty well with decent cargo space in the back, but I wouldn't want to do it everyday with that setup. It would be a hassle to get kids in/out of the back when you have carseats/boosters in the middle row. We had a honda pilot previously and I remember the back row...

    Satellite communicators worth the cost?

    From what I remember hearing, I believe its highly dependent on who's helicopter it is. Maybe someone with more knowledge will jump in though.

    Gag gift ideas

    My last white elephant this year had people I know well with a couple are hunters but most aren't. I cut the feet off my last turkey and dried them in a bookend position. I sealed the top cut and the gal that opened them just about threw them across the room when she realized they were real...

    Form struck someone’s nerve

    My father-in-law knocked himself out cold in his own driveway last winter. We laugh about it now, but it can get serious quick when something like that happens.

    Why Load Shelf?

    The load shelf provides versatility for me. I don't need 3 different pack sizes for different lengths of hunts. I got the medium pack and can use the load shelf for more capacity on longer treks if needed. If used for meat, meat weighs a lot more than my camp, so keeping that on the frame is...

    What to use for cracking, bleeding hands in the field.

    When I was younger I used the bad balm at night and covered them with cotton socks. As far as a hand lotion, I haven't used in a while, but I remember Mane 'n Tail - Hand and Nail Therapy working very well. Another option to check out.

    Oregon hunting guide killed by accidental discharge

    Put me down as a critic then *zap but with basic firearm safety (never point your muzzle at anything your not going to shoot), this is preventable. This is the #1 rule we teach in our hunters education class. Yes, this assumes all parties are adhering to it, not just you. I think what you are...

    Water Bladder Adapter for Filter

    Yes, this is what you want. Works very well if you already are used to a squeeze type filter. You don't need to open the lid or access the bladder at all.

    Your brain on microplastics?

    Good to know, I wasn't aware of the testing required for bottling facilities.

    Your brain on microplastics?

    You seem to know what you're talking about regarding bottled water, but you're directly comparing a product with a 547-day shelf life to one that is consumed immediately 99.9% of the time. I would sure hope bottled water is purified further. I'm curious if there is any testing is done on...

    Hauling meat with a bike: Trailer vs Racks & Panniers

    I've tried a back rack and also a trailer on successful and unsuccessful hunts for both. Hunted deer and bear anywhere from 6-12 miles. The trailer is a bit of hassle especially when unsuccessful, but was worth its weight in gold when successful. Road was a little rough, i've tipped it a couple...

    Dads of Rokslide

    You will likely not feel ready no matter how much you read/research/hear about raising kids. You simply cannot be prepared for everything you will run into. You have to be flexible, roll with the punches, and be able to laugh even when things are hard. Already a lot of great advice hear, but...

    Anyone using Ozonics or an ozone machine (and willing to admit it)?

    If the ozone truly caused his nose to bleed then he was using a grossly oversized unit in way too small of a space and he ignored the overpowering smell of it as well. Its not an odorless gas like CO and CO2.

    Rodents in vehicle at trailhead

    I had mice get into my rig at a trailhead a while back. I thought they were still in it and had traps set inside for a week or two before I figured out they live at the trailhead and get in/out of cars as they please. Any food I leave in the car gets put in a tupperware or similar now when I...

    Stuff overheard at the range or local gun shop

    Roughly 10 years ago, I was at a range where the range officer was helping some guys with their new shotgun. They clearly hadn't handled many firearms, so the range officer is explaining probably way more than they can handle, including that he can't tell what choke is in the gun. The range...
