    2025 Wyoming Elk Draw/Questions

    We had some locals tell us exactly this and tell us that it was just a weird year. I believe there is a lot of truth to this. However, it should be noted that we were told this from locals who had also been hunting for an elk in that unit for over a week. We talked to several people in the area...

    2025 Wyoming Elk Draw/Questions

    No I haven't, this was my first trip. One point I should of added was how few gun shots we heard. Not that we're going to hear every gun shot within a 10 mile radius, but if it was just our shortcomings as hunters we would of heard people around us firing at Elk. Between the 21st and the 25th...

    2025 Wyoming Elk Draw/Questions

    Just finished hunting Unit ** (South Piney) where we came up empty. Unless you're a world class endurance athlete, have horses, or use an outfitter you can forget about this unit. It's an extremely dense and rugged unit with far to many hunters for to few elk. Covered over 50 miles on boots with...

    Instant coffee sticks

    I vacuum sealed 2 cup portions of freshly ground BRCC just before I left and this worked great in my MSR stove with coffee press.

    2024 Elk Hunt Gear

    I just got back from my first elk hunting trip (WY Unit 94). The value of a good lightweight pair of walking sticks is the one that surprised me the most. I wouldn't head back into the mountains without them.

    For you Carnivore guys. How often do you use LMNT

    I agree. However, context is necessary. I spend less on LMNT ($60 per month) than normal people spend on energy drinks and sodas. Not to mention the other poison from the center isles of the grocery store I don't buy anymore.

    For you Carnivore guys. How often do you use LMNT

    I subscribe to their 120 count bundle and get it delivered at least every 2 months.

    Rucking/Military boot

    It's probably going to be the same as your experience with the Salewas. I didn't have any problems with being destroyed with blisters. However, like you said my tendons would get extremely sore walking on blacktops. That being said I recently replaced the inserts in my altitudes with ones that...

    Exo Mountain K4?

    Have y'all considered developing something like a diamondback hammer holster for carrying a hatchet/small axe with your pack? Their hammer holster truly is a game changer for tool belts. I think it would work incredibly well for carrying an axe into base camp with your pack. Put me down for one...

    Port Strike

    Save your pity party. You're not a victim. Refusing to put blue collar workers on an undeserved pedestal and refusing to struggle to feed our kids so you can make $200k per year does not by any stretch of the imagination equate to hating blue collar workers.

    You can't be that dense. Simply scroll up a few comments prior to yours.

    The Space Shuttle exhibit at the KSC Visitor Center is really impressive.

    Port Strike

    I'm surprised they didn't get more. If I'm an executive why do I care if I'm about to reduce my labor force by 80%+ with automation.

    Port Strike

    I'm about to burst some bubbles and hurt some feelings. I grew up on a farm where we did poultry, cattle, and share cropping (pre fancy John Deers where everyone put a hoe in hand and headed into the field). I'm a veteran of the Marine Corps Infantry. I wouldn't ventured to assume that I've...

    Port Strike

    Sir we haven't been a capitalist country since the 16th Amendment and that's a fact. You don't get top blame capitalism where it doesn't exist. At this point, Capitalism is nothing more than a term used to manipulate the masses.

    Carrying Baby on Exo Frame

    I've had a Kelty strapped to my K4 frame for the last several months and it has worked really well. https://rokslide.com/forums/threads/child-carrier-on-a-k4-frame.346054/

    Rucking/Military boot

    From an all around, do it all you're going to be hard pressed to beat the Danner RATS. However, they are heavy bastards. I still have a pair I love for working around the house and in the yard. They're really good for hiking if you want to up the difficulty due to the weight. I've got a pair of...

    Dishwasher replacement questions

    Get a passport. The American models aren't worth it, they're all maintenance with little production. I went with an Eastern European model, but I hear the South American models are great too.

    Are lightweight baselayer bottoms a waste?

    Agreed. Which is why the boot top, zip off base layers are money.

    cargo management?

    $400 for a plastic bin?!?!?! Pick up a few Milwaukee packout crates. It'll do the same job for a lot cheaper. I keep in in the back of my truck with all of my straps.
