    Posting a picture from Dropbox?

    What is the best way to post a picture so it shows up without having to click on a link or thumbnail? I tried using the "Insert Image" button and pasting a URL from Dropbox without any luck. Any help would be appreciated.

    Waterproofing Lowa Hunters?

    I've been getting a new pair of Lowa Hunters broken in for this fall. Would like to get them waterproofed/waxed. I have a can of Obenauf's sitting around that I've always used on my Meindls. Is that OK to use, or have people had better luck with a different product?

    Search and Rescue Insurance?

    I'm planning to hunt elk in Colorado this fall and I was told by a friend that I should look into some kind of search and rescue insurance coverage in case of injury while in the mountains. Do most guys buy some kind of policy to cover search and rescue costs such as needing a helicopter ride...

    2017 CO Early Rifle Deer Hunt - Opinions

    I'd love to hear some opinions on doing an early rifle deer hunt in CO next year. I'll only have 2 preference points going into the draw, so I won't be looking at any of the high end units of course. But it looks like I would be able to draw some of the high country above timberline hunts with...

    Carrying rangefinder w/ Alaska Guide Creation KISS?

    I'd really like to try one of Alaska Guide Creations bino packs. But I'm having trouble deciding between the KISS and C.U.B. models for my Nikon 10 x 42's. Could I carry my Nikon Rifle Hunter 1000 rangefinder in the lower Max Pocket on the KISS? Or am I better off just carrying the...

    Packing extra broadheads into the backcountry

    So what system has everyone had good luck with for bringing spare broadheads with them on a backpack hunt? Do you match up complete broadheads and arrows, spin test, and number them all so you make sure to have a winning combo? To save on space, I was thinking it might be nice to just cram a...

    Trekking pole baskets...on or off?

    New Kuiu Attack Pants - Look Faded?

    So I just got a new pair of Attack Pants in the Verde pattern. When I set them next to the Tiburon shirt I already have (in the same color) the pants look kind of faded. Is this just due to the difference in materials? Has anyone else noticed this? I hope I didn't get a pair from a messed up...

    WX2InReach Reviews?

    I just picked up an inReach SE and got it activated. While learning how to use this thing, I came across this service: WX2InReach - http://wx2inreach.weebly.com/ Sounds like a pretty handy tool to get a simple weather forecast sent to you while out in the backcountry. Has anyone tried it...

    Day Pack VS Cinched Down 75L Pack for Elk Hunting?

    Looking ahead to next fall's plans already, and I can't decide which is the better option for an archery elk, spike camp, hunt. I have a Badlands Diablo day pack, and an Osprey Xenith 75L pack. I was thinking I'd use my Osprey to pack everything in a few miles to a camping spot, and use it as...

    Short Sleeve VS Long Sleeve base layer shirt?

    I'm debating what to do for my upper body layers for September elk hunting in CO. Can you get away with just a camo long sleeve merino shirt if you expect to be out in the woods busting brush? Or are you better off with a short sleeve merino shirt for a base layer, and then wear a lightweight...

    Areas Grizzly Free in Wyoming Region G and H?

    So I'd like to get out and hunt the west side of Wyoming for mule deer within the next few years. But I really don't feel like diving out on a backpack hunt in grizzly country by myself. Are grizzlies found all throughout regions G and H, or are there places without them?

    Extra magazines on a backpack hunt

    For those of you with rifles that take magazines, how do you handle bringing spare ammo on a backpack hunt? Do you keep one extra loaded magazine handy and put the rest of your rounds in something else? Or do you like having more than one extra magazine? Trying to figure out if one spare one...

    Chinook Jacket V.S. Teton Soft Shell Jacket

    I'm thinking about trying a soft shell jacket for CO's archery elk season and these two options caught my eye. Has anyone seen both jackets in person? What do you think? Is the Chinook worth twice as much just to get the pit zips? Or are there any other considerations?
