    Which layer do you put the most importance on?

    I'm a huge believer in investing as much as you can on good, comfortable boots and good wool socks. As most have, I've tinkered with clothing, different base layers, mid layers, etc. My biggest issue is that it doesn't take much for me to start sweating, and because of that, I tend to wear less...

    7 PRC for costal brown bears?

    You should be fine with 7PRC. I've talked to a few hunters who've used 30-06, 308, 7RM, etc. with no issues.

    Not one of your choices is going to be a bad choice. Good luck with whatever you choose.

    Selling Gen 4 G 20; bad idea?

    I have a Gen 3, I like it a lot. I handled a Gen 5, but for me, not worth upgrading. Nothing wrong with what I have, like the old saying goes, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it."

    12 Gauge vs 20 Gauge for bird hunting

    I have both a 12 & 20 gauge, I've used both for deer hunting being that I live in a shotgun state, and I've found a 20 gauge slug appears to shoot a little flatter and get a few more yards out of it compared to a 12. Plus it's definitely a lighter gun. For small game, a 20 gauge is my choice...

    Load carrying day pack+?

    I would go with bigger pop-up from Mystery Ranch, I think that one would be the better choice or even the Pintler would be another good choice.

    Mans best friend - shooting vs euthanasia

    I give kudos to those can and have put their own dogs down yourselves, I don't think I could, as it is, making that decision is hard enough. I lost 2 dogs in a year, my chocolate lab was 16y/o, when it became time, her last 2 months her age really started to show, it was time and we had the vet...

    Bear smell!

    I've never experienced what you're talking about after hunting bear. Good luck getting rid of the odor.

    Toilet paper or wet wipes?

    Use both, and bury it. But I don't get the dehydration of wet wipes, if there's plenty of water sources around ones hunting area, ok, I guess I kind of see a benefit, but wouldn't it be easier for you to just purchase the compressed coin towelettes and use those instead?

    270 vs 7mm-08 vs 308 vs 30/06

    270 or 30-06 would be my choice, had a lot of success with both calibers

    Talk me out of 300 WSM

    I won’t talk you out of a 300WSM, and I don’t own one either. It’s a great cartridge for sure. The only issues I’ve ever heard bad about it, is feeding and the price of brass and factory ammunition.

    Turmeric?

    My wife uses the turmeric from Costco, swears by it. To also help relieve inflammation and joint pain, it helps to reduce processed sugars in foods, you'd be surprised at the amount of different food that has sugar in it

    Pack weight: Does anyone actually care?

    I’m concerned about weight to a point. I do my best to bring as little as possible to get the hunt done, whether it’s for a day, a couple of days or a week or more.

    357 vs. 9mm for hiking Grizz country

    I love these posts, some of the comments are quite entertaining! That being said, your rifle will be your best option, after that, bear spray or pistol,( doesn't matter the caliber), will be your last ditch effort at avoiding a bad situation. That being said, whichever one you shoot better is...

    Looking for a new rifle - Recommendations

    Have you thought of getting a rifle in the reliable 270 Win? Same great .277 caliber, and only a 10% ,( 100-150 fps less), reduction in velocity across the board,(130-150 grain). If you don't reload, ammunition should be plentiful, and you'll have to deal with less recoil as well. Just a...

    H4350 vs. IMR4350

    I use both, depending on availability, and go by Hodgdon's website, use in 243Win, 270Win, 30-06, & 338WM. I like the H4350 a bit better because of temperature stability, but have honestly not noticed a huge difference between the two accuracy wise or velocity wise.
