    Cabelas alaknak setup to prevent water pooling

    For any of you cabelas alaknak tent users out there….I am curious if you have leaks from standing water after a rain along your side walls? This was an issue for me last year. I’m assuming it’s due to improper tensioning somewhere. Just curious if anyone has had this problem and how were you...

    Cylinder stove embers putting holes in my Alaknak

    Does that T have a spark arrestor still? Yeah I’m not going to have the alaknak re-sewn for a once a year hunt….but it makes sense to have the pipe come out elsewhere. I’m surprised more tents don’t do this. If it wouldn’t make things so unsteady having the pipe with a 45 degree turn even away...

    Cylinder stove embers putting holes in my Alaknak

    What straight pipe arrestor do you use? I found this mesh one and I also found an in-line one just above the stove that looks interesting. What about a heavy rain not having a cap over the spark arrestor? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Cylinder stove embers putting holes in my Alaknak

    I also have the roof protection around the chimney, some holes in that but some made it to the tent outside of the protector Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Cylinder stove embers putting holes in my Alaknak

    I think the picture makes the pipe look bigger than it is. I would assume it was a 6 inch…it fits in the stove so I wouldn’t think it’s oversized. There is a spark arrestor at the top, maybe it’s just not a very good one? I’ll have to look them up. That thing was pretty wobbly sitting in the...

    Cylinder stove embers putting holes in my Alaknak

    Hey guys - new to a wall tent/camp stove style base camp. Last year was our first year doing it. Bought a used alaknak tent that was in great shape I think 12x12 if I can recall right. It came with a cylinder stove from cedar city. We had a heck of a time trying to get the last section of stove...

    Anyone know of any diaphragm calls similar to primos sonic dome size/shape?

    Not sure what models it applies to. The standard size single sonic dome when I ordered it on their site was saying discontinued and was on sale Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Anyone know of any diaphragm calls similar to primos sonic dome size/shape?

    Well that is my scenario….love the white one from my old 3 pack. The new one is much more high pitch at least for me. The first one I ordered was from Amazon and I almost thought something has to be wrong with the latex. So I ordered more but directly from primos…..all the same, super high...

    Anyone know of any diaphragm calls similar to primos sonic dome size/shape?

    So I’ve always been terrible with a diaphragm elk call. I made it my mission to get good at it this year. Before ordering some I went through my old ones. I had a primos single sonic dome still new in the box from a few years ago. That’s it for whatever reason, it was easy for me. Cow calls...

    3rd axis adjustment issues

    It’s a MBG I believe vengeance on a 6inch dovetail It’s gotta be my second axis….I would think. Just not sure what I did wrong checking it. When trying to line the pins up aiming straight at full draw at a straight edge the level is off. I just had a hard time believing it because I had just...

    3rd axis adjustment issues

    Hey guys looking for some thoughts… I’m having difficulty getting my 3rd axis set. I’m a right handed shooter. When I tilt the 3rd axis all the way in toward me, when I aim up the bubble level stays on center. When I aim down it’s way off. If I adjust the 3rd axis back out to center the bubble...

    Hanging European elk mount

    I’ve finally decided to hang my first bull elk up in my living room. I shot it 10 years or so ago. I didn’t know what I was doing and sawed the skull off. Boiled the heck out of it. I’m whitening it as I write this. Any thoughts as how to safely mount it being that I sawed the back part of the...

    Smoking meat taking longer than expected? Why?

    Like the jerky I did said 6 hours and it took more like 10.....and the summer sausage I can’t remember anymore I did it last November, and it took like an additional 12 hours from what the recipe suggested Do marinades play a factor? I was wondering if there was too much moisture on/in the...
