    WTS HPG Prairie Belt M

    I presume the color is ranger green or something like that. There is some exposed scrim and some very minor fraying on a couple of the little hypalon loops but they're still very much intact. Also some rub marks where I used it on a kifaru frame. I've removed one layer of the foam within the...

    Tent for Wrangells in August

    Bomber 4-season is appropriate when you have to camp somewhere that the wind howls...e.g. on a ridgeline or saddle. My wrangell hunts involved neither, so I used a golite SL4 for two or the utopia 2+ solo. Maybe I got away with one there, but had no issues in wet or snow. I never had what I'd...

    How long can you keep meat in the mountains?

    12 days on (or more correctly, in) kaboku68's glacier. Lots of nooks and overhangs if you look around a bit.

    Which weight lifting belt?

    Nothing rude about it. You're ignorant. That's not rude; that's not impolite; I'm helping you whether you like it or not. Buy or borrow "Starting Strength" by Rippetoe, learn to do it right, and refrain from offering poor or harmful advice until then.

    Which weight lifting belt?

    You should be soliciting advice, not giving it. 4" thick leather is the gold standard. 3" is for those with low clearance between pelvis and rib cage. All else is twaddle. There is no benefit to craning your neck back to look up the wall. Pick a point on the floor or low on the wall in...

    Looking to get a high-end canoe

    no pictures...just tie a rope around the yoke so that it slides back and forth loosely. Slide it to one side and tie another. When you slip these over your pack horns, the yoke hangs from the ropes.

    Looking to get a high-end canoe

    I think you'll spend more time farting around on load lifter risers than you would finding an old kelty or camp trails frame to assign to canoe use! I don't think you'll get enough lift or separation from your back using typical internal load lifter risers. I wouldn't bother attempting this on...

    Looking to get a high-end canoe

    I know firsthand that a Clipper Tripper fiberglass will transport two people, camp and an entire 70" Alaska moose with about 4" of freeboard, at midnight, with no moon, across a still lake. I own a 18'6" Wenonah fiberglass; the Tripper is my Dad's. The tripper is a better rig. More stable...

    Solo butchering in bear country

    Meat is carried to a spot which can be viewed from a distance up on return. Get things off of and away from the carcass ASAP. During the bone-out, build a big fire and don't be quiet about your life as noted.

    Sheep in AK's Unit 11

    Ref. Snyd's first post in this string... I sit here typing, without a rug on the floor, because of this same mindset ;) The first time I went, sheep were so strong on the brain that I didn't sort out the bear regs before going. On the hike out, with time on our hands, a dark, mature bruin sat...

    Mountain goat removal in Olympic National Park

    Remember kids, alpinists get to pick their routes; hunters don't. Oly Pen and central cascades lower elevation devils clubbing and alder flossing is a whole nother kettle of fish compared to anything in the Rockies roughly south of I-90. The mountain sprint/runners(Mount Marathon types)...

    Mountain goat removal in Olympic National Park

    I'm pondering hunting in a pair of wool dress slacks if I get picked, just to hack off the Kuiu true believers.

    Mountain goat removal in Olympic National Park

    Proficiency is 5 of 8 shots into an 8" ring at 200 yards, sounds like on the field rest of your choice. I'm sure someone here will complain about that, too.

    New car- To AWD or not to AWD

    AWD is less forgiving of oddball tire wear, and I'd argue that most AWD systems aren't particularly effective. Some, like Subarus with auto transmissions, are downright dangerous: traction control will pull power and prevent you from clearing out of an intersection if slip is sensed. Here...
