    Who else makes a WIDE down semi mummy?

    The 0 degree Stone glacier bag is my favorite bag I have used. I end up bringing it pretty much every time. Plenty of room.

    Hot Tent question

    The other thing I would say is go with a slightly larger stove. I have the seek medium and it's pretty dang small. You really don't gain any weight going with a larger stove and you get a much larger firebox. The medium is small enough that you really don't get a very long burn time but I'm also...

    Hot Tent question

    Totally. I have a cimmarron for backpacking and the wilderness ridge for closer to the truck. Pretty sweet combo and good thing my wife doesn't know how much I have spent haha

    Hot Tent question

    I want to say they are like $100-150 to rent for a week. So something to consider if you had a hunt that you really wanted one for.

    Hot Tent question

    The wilderness ridge trail llama tents are awesome. Pretty spendy but that's what I rock for my truck set up. You can also rent them for pretty cheap so if you want to check it out before you commit thats a bonus. Plus you can see what size will work best. I have the smallest one I think its...

    Hot Tent question

    The seek outside cimmarron is hard to beat. You do get crazy condensation if you pitch it tight to the ground and the stove goes out but once you light the stove everything is bone dry in a couple mins. Like others have said once you go the hot tent route you won't go back. I will bring the...

    Sitka just released new rubber boots

    They aren't my first choice to hike steep nasty stuff but they can get it done. The regular ole 15" boots are by far the best. The newer deck boots make great camp shoes/everyday boots but are pretty terrible for anything serious. If I was hunting pretty steep I would definitely wear a pair of...

    Suggestions on Caliber in Light Weight Rifle

    The weatherby backcountry is .338 rpm might be worth looking at. I have one in 280AI and its a great rifle. I have heavier 7prc and 6.5prc that handle the longer shoots better but for the weight I think they are hard to beat.

    Suggestions on Caliber in Light Weight Rifle

    Having spent the last 16 summers in Alaska my first question would be, do you plan on carrying a side arm for bears? Or will the rifle be your main bear defense? Most of the serious hunters I know up there hunt deer with a .300 win mag or bigger for that reason. Personally if I were building one...

    What did you do in the reloading room today?

    Just getting started reloading. I have a small office that I have converted one side to reloading/rifle work bench. Here is my set up so far, still trying to get everything organized. I went and shot my first 20 rounds of hand loads today.

    New custom 6.5 prc build

    Haha ya I don't think so. I guess the good thing about her not caring and thinking all rifles look the same is she never knows when I buy a new one.....

    New custom 6.5 prc build

    I will post some more pictures and some velocity data hopefully this weekend after I take it to the range. First impressions are this thing is going to shoot lights out. I was skeptical of this stock when I first ordered it but after opening the box I put an order in for another for the next...
