I get emails occasionally from a couple of environmentalist groups that are headquartered in Western Washington (go figure) and are usually asking for donations or some kind of activism participation. They always seem to be for having breeding wolves on almost every inch of Washington, are...
With this investigation completed and the entire very sad story told now, this is a poignant reminder of how fast things can go south in grizzly country and a warning for me anyway about the importance of taking precautions around kill sites.
One thing that struck me while reading this though...
I thought that it might be interesting to get some views from various "experts" in their field (i.e. anyone who actually has a lot of experience and/or knowledge about a particular topic) about information that they see perpetuated on internet forums which seems to be marginal at best or...
If anyone knows, please post up when WA spring bear results are available...and post if you were successful.
My son and I have been putting in for a SW WA hunt together for the past few years, and are hoping this is the year....fingers crossed.
I was looking to try putting together a Titanium stovepipe with stainless steel wire like Kifaru does with their titanium pipes & oval stoves, instead of using the standard cable rings.
Does anyone know what gauge of stainless steel wire works best for this or what gauge is used with Kifaru...
Manfrotto 460MG Panhead.
Really good condition. Compact design & 16 oz with a QR plate attached (comes with 3 quick release plates/adapters). Used only with my spotter, rated for 6.6 lbs but works fine at the range with my 80 mm spotting scope. I found out that I like ballheads better and got...
I ran across this article, which is an excellent straight forward backcountry first aid summary in my opinion. If you learn everything in this article, I believe you will know more proper first aid than 99% of other people in the backcountry...
With more and more roads and trails popping up that do not allow motorized vehicle travel, I thought it might be interesting to have a thread on mountain biking in the backcountry with some gear and other info that myself and other people here may have found useful. I am not a bicycle expert by...
I wanted to give people a good option for Taxidermy in my area. I didn't know anything about taxidermists in the area previously, but asked around a lot over the past year or two. One of the few people, from Sandpoint to the Silver Valley to Spokane, that I received all positive remarks about...
There is quite a bit of info on quilts on this site, but I still had a few questions before making my recent purchase of an Enlightened quilt. Hopefully the following info will help some people considering taking the plunge into the quilt market.
I recently got a quilt for Christmas during a...
Finally, My First Idaho Bull
There is no one single answer to explain why I do what I do, but people like my hunting buddies Steve P and Steve S certainly get it. Suffice it to say, that I would never feel like my time in the woods was a complete loss or waste, if I never harvested an elk...
I've had a chance to use my Olive Brown nylon Luna 4 shelter with 18" perimeter bug netting now for almost one year now. Of all of the shelters that I have looked at, this would seem to be one of the most versatile shelters for someone who does backcountry hunting and backpacking with other...
I love my T2 Pack, but I occasionally will get somewhat annoying squeaks which seem to occur where the surface of the Carbon Stays move a little within the Nylon Webbing Stay Pockets?
It may be more of an issue when the weather is warmer and I am sweating more? It does not obviously seem to be...
