    iPhone satellite messaging thread, iOS 18

    I used it for the first time on a recent elk hunt and thought it was pretty great. I have a Spot X rather than the garmin which in my experience sends messages more quickly than my buddies in reach but has its own downsides. Yes you have to actively lock into the satellite but then you can...

    CO 1st rifle experience different than prior years

    We had the opposite experience. Typically we see some rutting behavior first rifle but not a ton. This year towards the end of the season we found an area where it was going off with bugles from a number of bulls throughout the day and night - despite shots being fired within this area. It was...

    Peax Duo Headlamp impressions from Cold Bore Challenge

    I just got back from using mine for a rifle elk hunt. Used the light for a whole week without needing to charge it at any point on the trip. Pros: I love that it does have a super bright light for when you need a little extra to navigate a spot by. I enjoy the red light settings too -...

    Meat Safety - infected wound

    CPW seemed to think it would also be fine but to cook the meat fully. Thinking taco meat and stew meat - any other suggestions for fully cooked elk that’s good?

    Meat Safety - infected wound

    Hey, Shot a bull elk this morning - after taking one side off and thinking his hind quarter looked a bit odd I flipped him over and found that he had a wound in that other sides hind. Possibly an antler stab. Skinning revealed a lot of very pronounced blood vessels all around on that side...

    Who has left GAIA and what did you switch to?

    That’s really bad. Mine was quitting recently while trying to draw a route. We share an account and had a lot of issues when one of us was loading a bunch of way points with an accompanying photo. I think it was too much data and things got better when those were all deleted and it was...

    1P tent recommendations

    I second the Durston Xmid. I have the 1p and 2p solid. The 1p is a great tent for just me. Very livable, pretty light, not too too big a footprint. I would like to get my hands on a pro perhaps at somepoint for when I want the inner bit save some weight. I use the 2p for when I have one of my...

    Who has left GAIA and what did you switch to?

    Me and my hunting buddies have been using Gaia for the last 6 or so years. It have been glitchy at times. Have tried onX and go hunt and overall Gaia is more versatile. It’s spendy now and I consider switching sometimes but haven’t.

    Death Hike/ 3 day Softrock100 - Hiking video

    Here’s a video my buddy made of our (in my case attempt) of a 3 day Softrock100 hike - this is the Hardrock100 course. Stats definitely put it squarely into a death hike category though for me there wasn’t too much mental suffering other than deciding to stop and spare my knee for my rapidly...

    Ultralight optics... spotter vs image Stabilized Binos

    How would you compare the mini razor hd to the Mavin? I have the razor and don’t love it and my buddy has the Maven but I haven’t looked through it much though my initial impression was that I definitely preferred it.

    CO Mosquitos

    I grew up in CO and lived in the mountains - basically never saw or got any ticks as a kid. The last several years my dad who still lives there picks up quite a few ticks every spring. The area burned in a fire about 10years ago and so the habitat definitely changed. Might be that or just that...

    Ultralight optics... spotter vs image Stabilized Binos

    I have been thinking when I replace my little angled vortex spotted eventually that a straight spotter would be better for this same reason. I glass with my binos and then check stuff with the spotter primarily.

    Ultralight optics... spotter vs image Stabilized Binos

    My buddy and I split a pair of the pervious generation of zulu6’s in 16x thinking they could replace a spotter and tripod for certain hunts. They could and they do work very well - BUT I don’t enjoy looking through them for even mildly extended amounts of time and their clarity and light...

    Cold Plunges?

    This is the article I had read: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3459038/#:~:text=Cold%20water%20submersion%20can%20induce,and%20the%20'diving%20response'. It won’t stop me from taking a full dip in an alpine lake but for a daily cold plunge I am fine keeping my head up.

    Cold Plunges?

    I did a daily cold plunge for all of February this year and have been doing them off and on since (if it’s cold enough) don’t have a chiller yet so for February it was more about keeping it from being frozen. Definitely woke me up and seemed to help with recovery from running. I like the...
