    Stone Glacier Grumman Goose Down Jacket and Pants

    I agree 100% on this - the jacket is thin at the waist and long enough to keep in the warmth when sitting but tends to puff out at your upper stomach area when kneeling, etc. I’ve mentioned this to them at last year’s shows and plan to do the same this year. I’ll send mine to a tailor, outdoor...

    Not to hijack the thread, but indeed it is… On with the names!

    Whats your name boy?

    Easy enough, I joined the forum after we watched Smokey and the Bandit.

    Gear that lasted over 20 years

    While not as much as most who have posted here is a quick count: NULA model 20 in 708, built in 2001. It’s been many places and hasn’t missed yet for 20 critters. Not used much, but my son wore a Trebark lightweight jacket that I bought at Kmart in 1987. A browning windstopper fleece pullover...

    Barbers

    My son and I go to a great place owned by a Vietnamese lady named Lynn. $17 for a haircut and she gives a nice scalp and shoulder rub as well, $25 total with tip and good to go. The boy has significantly more hair than the old man so his takes a bit longer…. Before we found her it was a local...

    Smoked whitetail shanks... Good Lord, so good...

    Second that, and will do them in either the pressure cooker, the crockpot, or cast-iron, depending on my time. The smoke put some really nice flavor, and then that low, slow, and moist cooking makes them super tender. Almost makes me want to throw rocks at back straps…

    Eating Wild Hog

    For the most part, my experiences have been good. I like to take the larger pieces and cook them on the big green egg, giving them a nice smoke. I will typically wrap after two or three hours to keep some moisture in, and even then the finished product to me, won’t turn out like pulled pork...

    Another annealing question

    Not very high speed, but the candle method that John Barsness uses seems to work very well and he has done the research regarding temps, etc to show it works (sorry, not a direct answer to your question but the article below addresses it) Here is a cut and paste from a Handloader article on...

    Arrowhead outfitters review (Stay far Away from them)

    Yes, I’m an actual client, thanks for the innuendo. The guy leading our group did enough research to go in front of the Supreme Court and was confident in his choice and the trip proved him right. Can a business not change, especially under new ownership? I obviously can’t speak for others and...

    Arrowhead outfitters review (Stay far Away from them)

    I'll second this one - the crew at Arrowhead was great, and Misty is super easy to work with. A quick note - since they are a transporter they can only offer certain amenities, and one isn't shelter. We were rained in camp for a day or so and had a van and RV to hang out in, while a couple of...

    Food for haul road

    I ended up at the Auruoa for a couple of nights, once when we were waiting for better weather to fly to camp, and once the day we got back. It was a welcome hot meal and shower. The place is a bit industrial like the rest of Deadhorse (aptly named, what a depressing place) , but squeaky...
