    1P tent recommendations

    Go for 2 person tent. Will weigh maybe 50% more than 1 person tent but if the weather gets nasty then you will appreciate your gear being out of the weather. Ah, the weather. Get a tent will a floor. Having a stream trickling under your feet or melting snow or ice melting into puddles is no fun...

    Anyone else have a buddy bail at the last minute? (CO Archery Elk 2024)

    I have put together some joint trips including to hunt. My rules: We agree on the total estimated SHARED costs for the group size which says they are going. This is months prior to the trip. 100% is due within 14 days at that point. No refunds. Say is six of us. Housing, food, private land...

    Why you should not take equity out or dump your 401 K to take super expensive hunts.

    And, some of those hunts are under 50% harvest rates while others are nearly 100%. Choose wisely if need to tip something over.

    Moving to Oregon from CA

    Moved from Los Angeles to Oregon/Washington in 1992. Housing was a bargain once crossed the southern Oregon border. We bought a home in a very nice neighborhood with 20% down and our mortgage was less than our rent was in Cali for 1000 square foot in an 8-plex without a garage. Back then...

    I've gone down the pack rabbit hole and now my head is spinning. Please help!

    A handgun or bear spray which is not on your chest is less comfortable and less accessible. CCW implies you will conceal the handgun. I have always worn mine in full view when hiking in the outdoors if are predators that could knock me down.

    Africa Packing

    I took meds along with me for tick fever. I took the strong spray that typically kills ticks when make contact to your clothes. Found dead ticks and no live ones. Took Imodium along. Eyeglass wipes. Sunglasses. Pad to sit on in a blind. Pack a positive outlook and know that curve balls will...

    #18 Questions for Long Range Skeptics

    Is quite different to be set up at a firing range, take a few minutes to dope the wind, then while rested and calm heart beat and respiration rate squeeze off a round down range. Next, time put your target on a robotic base that can move 18" in any direction just as a real animal can the target...

    The website owner owns the content. You may be able to delete a portion of your content though may still be content that survives in the cloud that the website owner then licenses to someone wanting to train an artificial intelligence engine. So, use your keyboard or not as that is free will...

    Legalized robbery that needs to stop.

    Wyoming will not be getting a penny this year from me after over two decades of being gradually jerked around re cost to apply, points, and now tags offered as preference and random. I am done. Had some fun pronghorn hunts. Met some nice locals and ranchers. Nothing magic about Wyoming that...

    Snowpack not looking very good :(

    Hopefully will not be someone in their 70s. I had to live through a very confused second term President Ronald Reagan where his wife and Chief of Staff made the decisions. The wife relied on palm readers, by the way. I do not need a repeat of that no matter the initial next to their name on the...

    Buying a Mule

    I have been on horses since was a wee lad. Have ridden mountain horses with an outfitter several times but on two such adventures there was a mule in the corral as one of the wranglers did not trust horses. None of the other wranglers in camp trusted a mule. Each morning about two hours before...

    Alaska Sheep Hunt Pricing

    Agreed. Is one thing to draw blood without getting an animal on the ground. Is not acceptable for me to trigger the trophy fee if merely pass on an animal the guide says is legal and at an ethical distance for the conditions. Is not acceptable to trigger the trophy fee if shoot then is a clean...

    Solo 2023 Utah Wasatch Muzzleloader bull elk

    Nicely done. You kept at it, learned a bit about what happens when get excited and things like the powder get skipped or can't find the pack for a few minutes as darkness builds, got the bull down and the meat off the ridge, plus engineered the truck back on the road. You will kill a lot of...

    Legitimate benefits to lifting a vehicle?

    And, the Subie will not have a handful of pricy parts worn out sooner due to increased stress from the lifted position. Of course, you will be driving a Subie. You will save quite a bit on the cost of dating which also adds up along with savings on maintenance. A final observation, for every...

    Legitimate benefits to lifting a vehicle?

    Are you lifting your existing minimum clearance? If your oil pan and axle are ending up at the same height as now then seems all you are doing is reducing your aerodynamic coefficient. You can screw that up by duct taping some two by sizes to your front bumper and burn some more $5 a gallon gas...

    Ewe Hunt Opinions

    Drew a ewe tag as second choice in CO a decade ago. Spoke to bio and he said try to find a ewe without a lamb but that during my hunt the lambs should be old enough to survive even if I did shoot a ewe with a lamb. I had a string of 100 or more ewes, lambs and yearling rams passing by in single...

    Well, if a couple of trees fell over the road an hour before the lightning strike then would take a bit longer, I suppose.

    Lack of Tent Oxygen - Can't Sleep

    You need to have air in a camper that fills 28" x 28" x 28" beyond the space filled by your body and the fixtures, stack of clothes, etc. A NBA regulation basketball is close to that volume so take along two basketballs and place in your tent or camper then toss them outside as are falling...

    What is your go-to ready-to-eat food in the field?

    I vacuum seal all sorts of things such as daily changes of socks/underwear/meds in a grad and go bag but the liquids inside a pack is not fun. Had a Gatorade start leaking and was fluorescent orange. Doh.
