    British Columbia Outfitter Recommendation

    What part of BC? What kind of hunt are you looking for? And what kind of elk? from what I’ve seen, the bigger bulls are up north. The northern Rockies are some tough country though.

    New pull on leather boots

    Some good ideas here. I just hate ordering things like boots online. I might just have to make a trip to Calgary. Lame.

    New pull on leather boots

    Looking for new boots, for everyday use and some hiking and field work. Something like a cowboy boot but with a bigger toe area, more like a work boot. And have vibram soles, no gortex or waterproof membrane, and no insulation. Also made in Canada or USA. Not a lot of boot stores near me, so...

    Boots for Summer?

    If you have sweaty feet, use leather lined boots and wool socks. I very rarely wear boots that are waterproof or insulated. Only in the winter when it’s cold. Leather lined boots seem to dry way faster if they get soaked, and in the summer who cares if your feet get abit wet. Your feet will be...

    Nikon fieldscope ed60 vs 50?

    Looks like I’m ordering a 60ediii of eBay. Are the ones from Japan legit? I’ve never ordered anything overseas or from anywhere off of eBay before.

    Jetstream vest non hunting brand alternative?

    I bought a north face vest a few years ago. It has some kind of wind proof thing in it. It’s been awesome. It’s not insulated or anything, but it sure helps around here were the wind always seems to show up.

    Dry January

    I quit on the 2nd. Didn’t really sleep for 3 days, night sweats, super irritatable. I’ve been sleeping better now, still haven’t slept a solid 8 though. I feel like I have less energy, but I’m sure it will pass. I was sitting by the wood stove the other night with some tea. I think I tired...

    Nikon fieldscope ed60 vs 50?

    Anyone use both? I have the 50mm with the better zoom eyepiece and the 27x wide angle. How much difference is there with the ed60? Weight isn’t a concern. Just wondering if it would be worth it to pick up the body only. The 50mm is nice but, it feels not enough sometimes.

    Need advice , my pup is getting aggressive ..

    I agree with putting a leash on him and a prong collar. Proper leash corrections will work way better than beating him. Make obedience a priority and teach impulse control. Exercise the dog, but also work him using obedience and impulse control. If he is truly aggressive keep a dominant dog...

    Recommendations for sweaty feet

    My hiking boots are whites. The firefighting ones, smokejumpers I think. They are abit heavy but I don’t notice it and I can wear them all day. I treat the leather with hubberds shoe grease or obinaufs. Sometimes my feet get wet from creeks or heavy rain. But the boots dry faster then gortex...

    Recommendations for sweaty feet

    The only thing I’ve found that helped was switching to leather lined boots, with no water proofing and no insulation. I did this for work boots and I usually hike/hunt in a pair of logger style boots. It’s helped a lot, as well as using a sock liner and wool sock. My feet stay warmer too...

    Kenetreks wrecking my feet.

    I tried a bunch of hunting/mountain boots. Most major brands, either hurt my feet or knees or something. What keep going back to leather logger style boots. I think they are forest fire fighting boots. They are heavy, stiff when new and not waterproof. They don’t even have an insole, just done...

    Alaska Plane Crash Claims Pilot and Hunter

    Always sad when this happens. My uncle and grandfather died in a plane crash in northern BC. They were scouting out a new guiding territory I believe.

    True sleeper optics

    I have a pair of bushnell elite 10x42. They were pretty cheap I think. Always been happy with them. The vanguard endeavour spotter mentioned I wasn’t happy with. My eyeball almost had to touch the eyepiece for a good sight picture and it gave me a headache quickly. My Nikon ed50 is much clearer...

    Worst song lyric

    I haven’t heard eyedea’s name mentioned in a minute. Shadows on the sun is still in my top 10, such a great album. My favourite rapper still is Sean price though.
