    Enlightened Equipment Torrid Apex Jacket

    I have had a Torrid for a couple years and have been happy with it. Its a good, lightweight, synthetic jacket. I brought it on an early season sheep hunt this season and had no regrets about choosing it over my Kuiu Superdown. EE makes quality stuff.

    Serious AK Remote Hunting Question

    If you have the space and weight capacity, bear canisters work. I stash them away from base camp when I leave. A lot of times I bring a small spare tent as well if I have the space, only have had to use it once. You could stuff it in a bear canister as well if you are in an area with a lot of...

    Do you cook oatmeal, ramen, etc directly in your Jetboil?

    I just pour the boiling water right into the zip lock bag, set it aside and let it do its thing. If it's really cold I put the zip lock in a beanie or the like while it is rehydrating. It's the lightest and most efficient option and has always worked well for me.

    Sheep, Early, Alaska Range - Kuiu Guide Jacket? Sitka Mountain/

    Personally I would leave the soft shell at home or in base camp. The puffy with rain gear is what I use and has served me well in the mountains.

    October Dall Sheep Hunt

    I drew that hunt years ago and yes we had a few inches of snow during the hunt. Personally if I drew it again I would take my MLD Duomid. Light, storm worthy, and easy to set up. Well within your price range as well.

    Sheep rifle question

    I swapped my stock Tikka bottom plastic for the Mt. Tactical recently as well. The weight difference was 1.1 ounces on my scale. Never had a problem with the factory piece, but I do like the Mt. Tactical so far. Plus it looks way better in the McMillan stock than the plastic! :D

    Sleeping Bag for Kodiak Island

    For what it's worth, I have always used a Western Mountaineering Ultralight on Kodiak along with a bivy sack if needed. It's worked for me in October, March, and April just fine. I did backpack on all of those hunts so weight was a concern.

    Boots for moose hunt

    If i have room I usually bring two pars of boots moose hunting. An insulated rubber boot and my hiking boots. Even in dry areas it seems one is always getting wet. I would definitely recommend insulated boots for mid-late September.

    Alaska Caribou: Is This Possible

    This could be an issue based on the one time I landed there just to throw fuel in the cub. Although it is a beautiful place (one of my favorites in Alaska) and there are a ton of caribou antlers scattered throughout the pass.

    Lightweight scope that dials with zero stop, does it exist?

    Anyone tried the new SWFA SS 2.5-10x32 Ultralight Rifle Scope? If it works and holds up it look like the ticket at 9.5 ounces.

    Weatherby Rifles

    I agree with amassi, everything I have hit with a .257 and 100ttsx drops instantly. Only time I have seen a Mt Goat drop with one shot was from a .257 bee and I have seen them hit with alot of much larger rounds.

    plastics

    I agree with Troutbum, if plastics work for you, then use them. Especially in March. I normally don't use my plastic boots for mountain hunting in the fall (they are heavy and I don't like hiking the flats with them), but I was glad to have brought them on the last spring goat hunt we did on...

    Holster set up kenai vs rozco vs anything else

    I have been carrying a G40 MOS since it was introduced in a Kenai holster. It works for me with or without a pack, and lives on me when I am flying. It is even in a decent draw position when I am wearing my bino harness.
