    Hot Tent Condensation

    I have an Argali Absaroka and stove. I've used the tent extensively but haven't had a need for the stove yet. I'm looking for input on how to manage condensation during an upcoming trip. I have experience using single wall set ups, tarps and flys, but never with a stove. Will the stove...

    Chassis Input

    My wife has a 6.5 CM Christensen Mesa that she hunts with. We predominately backpack hunt and she has some shoulder and neck issues that make using a sling or hand carrying her rifle for long periods of time very uncomfortable. Currently she straps the rifle to her pack but it is a bit long and...

    Blown Primers?

    My wife has a Christensen Mesa in 6.5cm with a CGS Hyperion K suppressor that she was shooting yesterday at the range. She shot 5 rounds with her preferred hunting round (factory Nosler 140 grain Accubond Trophy Grade) to check zero for her upcoming early season cow tag. She then switched to...

    Rolling stove pipe

    I purchased a seek outside stove and need to burn it in this weekend to get ready for upcoming bear season. I’ve done some digging and see several references to rolling the pipe around pvc, I realize this may be a bit neurotic on my part but want to make sure it comes out as round/perfect as...

    Adding Pocket to Stone Glacier Solo

    I have a Stone Glacier Solo that I'd like to add side pockets to. I'd like them to be elastic around the top of the pocket like you see on many backpacks. Something to hold water bottles, garbage, trekking poles or whatever else. I've contacted a couple local sewing shops and they aren't...

    Insulated boot questions

    I’m shopping for some insulated boots. I have never owned insulated boots other than some Sorels for snow blowing and winter dog walking. I hunt in snow a few days every season and have made my uninsulated boots work with only a handful of uncomfortable days, weather where I live is rarely below...

    Sold Gaiters, First Lite Brambler Large

    These were worn for one day and are in great shape. There is a small crack in the vinyl coaing on one strap you can see in the photo otherwise in great shape. These just don't fit my scrawny calves. $65, covers shipping

    Outdoorsman Tripod Compact vs Standard

    I've never used a tripod as I've been slowly building my gear as I can afford it and a tripod seemed like a want not a necessity. Everything I've read sounds like it is a valuable piece of weight to carry and will add to my abilities. I think I've landed on purchasing a tripod from Outdoorsman...

    Schnees fit/lacing help

    I've been wearing Scarpa Zodiac boots for the past three seasons and have decided I need quite a bit more ankle support in the places I'm hunting. I generally wear a size 12.5-13 and purchased a pair of Schnee Timberlines. Unfortunately they don't offer half sizes above size 12 in this model and...

    Practice Ammo

    I have been purchasing some Atomic ammunition for the range to use in my .308. It costs $1.55 a round which isn't cheap but still way more affordable than the rounds I hunt with. While at the range today I had 2 misfires, I have never experienced this before. It got me thinking if I should be...

    7mm Rem Mag elk rifle

    I'm shopping for a new rifle to hunt elk that my skills can "grow" into. My wife has become interested in hunting elk/deer with me and so I've got the nod to add to our collection. In a previous post I asked for input on Christensen vs Tikka but in hindsight I should've asked for input on the...

    Tikka vs Christensen

    I'm in the market for a new elk rifle in 7mm rem mag. I currently own a Christensen Mesa in .308 and it has proven to be a good investment. My first impulse is to buy another Christensen but the Tikka T3X would save me some cash and make it easier to spend more on optics sooner. I'm also...

    Suggested reading/media for beginner

    I'm new to rifle hunting and looking to increase my range for future seasons. I belong to a local range and have been shooting with sucess out to 300 yards but would like to be able to have a bit more reach, perhaps ultimately out to 600 yards. Shooting at an animal at that distance isn't my...

    Elk in the rain

    I’m in my second season of archery elk and haven’t experienced any rain yet while out. There’s a system moving though this weekend and I’m curious what to expect. With only a couple weeks left I’m anxious to pass up any time in the woods but also want to make sure it’s as productive as possible...

    Ochoco 2021 Archery

    First time poster but long time lurker. This board has been a huge resource for me over the past two years and I really appreciate all of the knowledge. This is my second season elk hunting, last year was spent in Idaho in the Salmon river unit with a mentor/fishing buddy. I’m a small business...
