    !!Machete attack!!

    I think I failed to effectively communicate as I intended for my message to be the same as what you said here. We need mental health services for people like this guy, and those services need to go into effect any time someone fitting the criteria enters the CJ system. There should be a...

    !!Machete attack!!

    I'm a hippie gun owner who hiked the thing end to end. I didn't carry, I know only one person who did. Truth is this is exceptionally rare and you're way more likely to run into trouble like this elsewhere, like in town. The AT is just closer to larger population centers and has a ton of...

    Zpacks - Plexamid or Duplex?

    I have a Duplex. I got it in 2016 on the AT in Virginia. My girlfriend and I used it all the way to Mt Katahdin in Maine. We continue to use it for overnight trips and I used it on my backcountry elk hunt this year. The second night we were setting up the tent I was tensioning one side while...

    I like a sling for shooting off hand but don't have one for my remington 700. Any recommendations? I was looking at the Turner slings but looks like they are out of stock. Would prefer something light weight and functional

    world travelers? packing advice.

    Make sure you don't try to take stove fuel on the plane! And make sure the fuel you are looking to use is readily available in the area. Alcohol stoves are pretty easy.

    world travelers? packing advice.

    I spent two weeks in New Zealand with basically this gear list https://lighterpack.com/r/cerg2q I also had my laptop and its charger in there so I could offload/upload photos and video as I went so I didn't lose anything. That gear list also did the Appalachian Trail with me, temps ranged in...

    Where to buy a Gransfors small forest axe.

    I'm not positive but I believe that this axe is almost identical to the Hults Bruk Aneby hatchet. I have one of those and the thing is scary sharp. Light enough that it is easily packed out. ETA: For those wondering if there is a difference between this type of axe and cheaper ones.... Yes...

    Anybody not religiously purifying their water?

    I've spent a lot of time in the woods and drank a lot of water, both filtered and unfiltered, from natural sources. The last time I didn't filter I got so sick I couldn't summon the strength to put my sleeping bag away in my pack. I always filter my water since that. You still hear of old...

    Gun Control Speech -

    This man didn't say anything that we haven't heard 100 million times before, this video is probably just popular because the man making the speech doesn't look like most of us on this forum/in the NRA. Like it or not, every child that's murdered plants another seed that will grow into an...

    Bull Behavior Early Spring--Shed Hunting Tips!

    I think I'm the only one pressuring these guys and I have a pretty good idea where I am moving them too. Came up on a big herd today and there were some bulls in the mix that still had antlers. I have been walking trails with fresh droppings/tracks and rubs on every other tree! Thanks for the...

    Eagle Caps/Minam First rifle

    Hey Jon Boy, I'm putting in for the same tag (I think...) and wouldn't mind exchanging info. I am an experienced backpacker and east coast white tail hunter but brand new to elk. I will be doing a lot of scouting in that area over the summer. If you have any specific places you want checked out...

    Bull Behavior Early Spring--Shed Hunting Tips!

    New guy in North Eastern Oregon

    Thanks for the tips! On the one hand I am ready to get in the woods after an animal and on the other I am glad to have more time to educate myself. I have been shed hunting like crazy without too much luck but I am learning more about these animals and how they behave.
