    Favorite National Park

    1. Isle Royale because there were virtually no people. 2. Joshua Tree because there were very few people and it was VERY easy to use the desert to our advantage to make those that were there vanish. Those of you that can tolerate the massive overcrowding in many of the others are cut from a...

    What kind of skinning knife do you use and why?

    Bark River Lil Skinner and Fox River in A2 Steel. Why, because they’re beyond reliable, feel great in my hand, are beautiful, hand crafted in the USA, and will go to my son when i’m done with them then his son after him. Havalon? Well i own one and can tell you it’s a soul less, unreliable...

    crispi

    Bought my Nevadas in 2020 and they are still my main boot today. All i do is clean them up good and apply sno seal to them at the end of the season prior to storing them away for a bit. I personally don’t have any negatives to say about mine, great boot.

    Legalized robbery that needs to stop.

    Mind boggling how many are ok with being gouged because of the “you have to pay to play” mentality. I think it’s true, the US school system is failing horribly. There are so many supporting examples this is just one.

    Solo hunting anxiety

    Ever have anything weird happen? Ive never had any kind of anxiety until, probably 3 years ago now, my son and I were camping. Being he is only 10, was 7 then, he is obviously 100% dependent on me out there and the thought that something bad could happen while him and I were out there never...

    A nation of wimps?

    So just so i’m clear. EVERY time you’re outside you see at least 10 kids riding bikes, shooting bb guns, climbing trees, etc? Are you talking today or 1985? Cause you’re describing my childhood. Kids absolutely are not doing that stuff today by in large. You’re full of more bs than a bull...

    Taking Equity out of Home to Go on Guided Hunts

    In a nutshell, you can’t afford these sheep hunts. Just the way it is. Everyone can’t have everything they want. I realize almost no one thinks about that sorta thing anymore though. Everyone wants it, are entitled to it, and they want it now.

    Is the Expen$$$ive Turkey ammo worth it?

    Absolutely NOT! Just because there are a lot of fools nowadays (you know what they say about a fool and his money) does not mean you need to pay $80 for shells to hunt turkeys. Case in point. The turkey i shot last year was shot with my grandfathers 60 yo 16 gauge with shells i found in my...

    A nation of wimps?

    I was born in 75’, long before the internet, cell phones, cable tv, etc. We were the generation our parents had to literally go looking for us to tell us to come inside to eat, get ready for bed at dusk, etc. I had nothing else to do BUT play outside. Fast forward to today i’m that same kid...

    A nation of wimps?

    Where a good portion of todays parents went wrong, with say the current 20s to 35 age group, is they let them have unsupervised and unfettered access to phones, tv, and social media. These devices shaped the attitudes and social mores of that generation. And yes, that age group by in large...
