    Bone marrow mashed potato

    Anyone ever replace the fat in mashed potatoes with bone marrow? I have and it’s delicious! boil potatoes with some garlic in the water. Drain and set aside. cut the bones of animal in half if you can, or into small 2 or 3” pieces if unable to cut in half lengthwise. Roast bones in the oven...

    Tentipi Safirflex 15 Tent Review

    after I got the fire going I went outside to see what they were taking pictures of. Nice clear night and not bad aurora either considering the time of year.

    Tentipi Safirflex 15 Tent Review

    I purchased a Safir 9 last year and have used it mostly for ice fishing so far. I heat it with a Winnerwell Nomad large stove. I do need to bring extra pipe to get out the top of the tent, and like you mentioned with the 2 dog stove the pipes don’t fit in the stove. Because I use the internal...

    Chipotle bacon sausage

    Yes, it's also pretty darn good over the open fire pit in the backyard. Works in chili, cut into chunks after cooking and add. Works as burger patties if you remove the casing or just bag it when making it. Sausage, eggs, and beans in the morning. Pretty versatile and delicious. 😋

    Chipotle bacon sausage

    Usually it's just an extra old Cheddar. If the temperature is right I find the cheese gets soft and melted but it won't leak out of the casings. I usually smoke them for 3-5 hours at 160, then finish them off at 225 until an internal temp of 140f. This way my casings shrink up a bit but don't...

    Chipotle bacon sausage

    Ha ha, you’re absolutely right! That would protect you from vampires though yes, I meant cloves and I will try to change that. Thanks for the catch

    How do you justify sheep hunting?

    One of, if not the only benefit to living in the NWT is the hunting, I can purchase a Dall tag over the counter each year along with moose and caribou. Filling the freezer comes first so priority on the moose, but I am working on the fitness level so I am able to fill the tag this fall...

    Alaska DIY Moose RECAP 2022

    So do you wait for 2 years because of cost or waiting for another tag? How do you go about shipping the meat home? Congrats on an amazing trip. Impressive rack and looks great on the wall.

    Canol trail NWT

    Our grizzly bears are smaller than in Alaska, but much more aggressive. The fence gives me piece of mind stepping out in the morning. The guys I hunt with have had meat taken before, I have not experienced that but expect to see it each time I come back to camp after the days hunting. Make...

    Canol trail NWT

    Good day people. I just signed up a while ago and need some posts to be able to access the classifieds. Figured a moose and caribou hunt with some pictures could take care of some of that. I was raised in the NWT since I was 9 years old. Grew up eating lots of barren ground caribou, and...

    Best moose saw option /packable??

    I don't backpack hunt, with that in mind I purchased a chainsaw 12 years ago for cutting them up. Upgraded to a Milwaukee 12v arborist saw 2 years ago. Fill the reservoir with Veggie oil and good to go. Their teeth will dull a chain in a heartbeat 😌
