Hi guys. I could use some help finding a horse or mule to help my dad pack in at Colorado Unit 24 for 1st Rifle this year.
My brother and I have taken my dad on DIY elk hunting trips for years. He's been able to pack in and keep up with us, but he's just getting to the age where it's difficult...
Angled Vortex 20-60x60 spotting scope with case and Vanguard Epsod CX 1 OS tripod. All in great shape. I only used it to sight in the rifle.
This is a nice budget spotting scope, and comes with the Vortex warranty.
$280 TYD lower 48 with PayPal, F&F or cover fees.
Glad you were able to check out the Forester. It took me a bit to dial in the seats. I'm used to my truck, which is like a couch in comparison.
Everyone has their own opinion, of course, and people only tend to speak up about negative experiences. Our Subie has been excellent. I've heard other...
I'll chime in with another Subaru Forester/Outback recommendation. We have a '14 Forester and love it. 30MPG average over 90k miles. Tried to get it stuck in my pasture after 10" of snow and it hardly slipped. The Outback can tow a bit more if you really need it, and is better set up for a...
I'm leaning toward the 1.6 PU4000 for material. The roughed-in dimensions put the base around 13' x 13' and I need to decide on height. I use Sketchup for design, then will comp a scale model or two.
I'm really not too concerned about the final weight. I'm using it to shelter a minimum of 3...
I think the right answer to that is "it depends." :)
Have you made a gear/food list for your trip? That was hugely beneficial for me when deciding on the pack setup. I updated the spreadsheet multiple times, and I'm sure it adjusts after every trip out. It helped me move from the world of ideas...
I'm in the used/discounted simple pack mindset as well. My dad's Highcamp 4800 is perfect for him, and should suit most people well for a 5-day hunt. My Argali is budget-friendly as well, but probably overkill on size. The Markhor in the Rhino Den would be tempting. Find a used Guide lid, and...
