    Razco/Kuiu combo

    I tried it and didn’t feel like it was a good solution for me. Bought a chest holster for the pistol. Bino harness goes over that. Then pack straps over both of those.. Really expected to hate this arrangement but I don’t. It works for me. Pistol is easily accessible under the bino holster...

    Hunting Journal

    I also do a lot of fishing, and write a summary of each fishing trip in my log (Word doc in OneDrive). It now goes back over 15 years and has proved to be tremendously valuable in planning as well as a joy to read and remember all the good times.

    Hunting Journal

    I journal all big hunts out of state day by day. Then I clean up my notes on the plane ride home. They are always there in my phone in the Onenote app. For hunts closer to home, I keep photos of every trip in a OneDrive folder. That's more about tracking the progression of specific...

    Alaska Air Cargo Shipment Flagged: Painful Lesson You Should Know

    Damnit man. That sucks. Most of us that have played the game have done something similar. I arrived in Alaska from the lower 48 a couple of years ago to find my pre-shipped cargo (UPS I think) tote totally destroyed and haphazardly taped back together. Inside was a SEARCH WARRANT! They...

    Debating pack options

    Barney’s for me. I modified mine with some Alp’s wings. I strap a dry bag to it with my day gear. Pretty solid system. Have used it on 3 moose, 3 caribou, 1 black bear. Heavy but bomb proof! Full disclosure: I bought my wife a Kifaru frame and Stryker bag that I plan to borrow for future...

    Alaska vacation with wife, backcountry

    On the flight in from a drop hunt last fall I asked our pilot if he could set up a summer trip. My wife is a teacher and thus has not been able to see “my Alaska” on fall trips. I gave her the trip for Christmas. We went the last week of July. 5 days dropped in the western Alaska Range, then a...

    OnX clarity

    They had an issue. I had the same problem and messaged them. They wrote me right back. I had clear images as of yesterday.

    Is OnX down this morning

    Crystal clear in Texas but not in Alaska, on my computer. Phone now shows both clearly, just not the computer.

    Is OnX down this morning

    Trying to show my wife the route for the trip I planned for her as a Christmas gift and the imagery is no good this morning. Google Maps imagery displaying fine, so it's not my phone or computer. Pissed!

    Inreach/Earthmate font size

    Has anyone figured out how to increase the size of text in the app? I hate having to use reading glasses to check a quick message on my Iphone. My other apps have increased font size through the universal settings but not Earthmate.

    Transporter Moose Hunt Success Rates

    I think 4 is way too many on a drop hunt. If 2 go with a reputable provider, I think 50% success is a reasonable expectation if you hunt smart and hard. Animal densities are such that 4 moose from one spot is a tough ask. Remember that you have to carry the damned things back to base. So you...

    2022 Alaska hunt… my first

    Congrats on a successful trip. The pics and your report are proof that you thrived! You'll kill one next trip after all you learned this time. I hope your partner has as good of an attitude as you do and is equally ready to return.
