I have the inertia x-frame and it works well in the Rocky Mtns. I thought it would be too short, but it worked well for me. I'm 6'1" 200 lbs. It really packs up nicely. I use a Big Agnes insulated...

Camofire.com has been selling them at almost half off if you are still interested in them. I also seen them at Costco and they seem well made.

He is a western WY bear. Got the pictures of him this past fall.

Here's a great clip of Steve Rinella talking to the author of Charchutrie about parasites in bear meat:

Thanks Bro

I was using 8190 the last couple years but I find more stretch and it takes longer than the 452x to settle in and stay put. I have been getting the same speeds as 8190 +or- 1 or 2 fps....

I have the sleeping pad. I was skeptical at first, however after nine nights on it last September, I'm a believer.

Why buy mountain house? They are way too expensive, and you can DIY meals of the same quality by buying supplies from "Doomsday Prepper" type websites and piecing together a few freeze dried veggies...

There are quite a few areas in California where the bucks have no eye guards, and one area where quite a few of them have only one eye guard. Although, I think this is more of a genetic...

It is pretty typical for them to not have eye guards out here.

Yes they are well worth it. I had one on my bow this year and it was awesome. I carried my bow on my pack for a week with the quiver facing out and dragging it though some nasty stuff and never had a...

I know quite a few guys that swear by them. I personally have never used one but will be putting one on my next set up for sure

Colorado doesn't really have a "general season" for anything. For elk, there are 6 or 7 different seasons and your tag is only good in that particular season. Archery, Muzzleloader, First Rifle,...

I was stationed 11 miles from the LL Bean headquarters in Freeport, Maine for 2 years. Upstate Maine is a wonderful place, and it's full of moose.

The ticks are the real problem, it is a huge...

That is a bummer about the big bull. Like you said hopefully he is around for next year. I couldn't agree more with you sharing harvesting that bull with you young one must have been special. My boy...

Grasses will regrow in burns very quickly. There are also a lot of minerals exposed by fire, and in the ash, that elk may target. Elk will also often utilize their usual migration routes right...

I've used them and they worked fine for me but I haven't tried them at high elevation yet. I could get my 700ml snow peak mug boiling with less than 1 fuel cube. Wind protection is important. I...

We were inside a house... I was not impressed.. But, those fuel tablets will burn for a long time, even on wet ground. While they don't boil water very well, I keep a few in my pack to start a...

The esbit looks bombproof with the solid fuel. I've never used one but it looks like a sound product. 7 min to boil 500ml is a bit longer then your JetBoil on boil time though. I've had my Jetboil...

Believe it or not, I would hunt the first two weeks (pre-rutt) vrs the last two weeks (peak rutt) for that hunt. The big bulls will most likely be without cows. The smaller bulls will be herding...

+1 for me on the Oregon line.

Cabela's has some pretty good sales right now on Garmin stuff, particularly the Oregon line.

Orange is not a problem. It's seen as a pale yellow like everything else they see. Except blue. They see that as blue.

I got on and checked before the site went down. If you call this # 208 334-3700 they will look your name up and give you results.
