    Cody, WY hotel recommendation

    We stayed at Pahaska Tepee during our trip last year. It's right outside Yellowstone East gate, perfect if you're visiting the park for a few days. We met the owner and had several discussions with other workers there. They were nothing but hospitable and gave us good advice regarding fishing...

    That would explain why they're never available. Thank you for clarifying.

    Schnee’s sale

    Has anyone ever actually been able to purchase anything in a 15 EE? It always shows "out of stock" regardless of when I have looked.

    Zenbivy Bed?

    10L sack and the compression caps make it pretty small when fully compressed, a touch shorter than a Nalgene bottle I really dislike being confined in sleeping bags. I'm a warm sleeper and the system is perfect for me. I leave one side unhooked and sleep like a baby.

    Want to try Backcountry hunting. I live in Illinois and have no clue where to start

    Whatever you decide, don't wait around for friends who drag their feet. Even after I moved west from Illinois, I had friends out here that always had a reason for pushing things off to next year. I finally said f**k it and went solo on some hunts. Don't get me wrong, I love my friends, but I...

    Yellowstone/Glacier vacation

    Late to the show, but I'll add a second vote for getting the Gypsy app. The YNP/Tetons add-on costs $14 and is absolutely worth it. We went to YNP/Tetons three weeks after the flooding and lucked out with the YNP north loop opening up while we were still there. We also drove Chief Joseph up...

    PSA--Yellowstone Closed!

    We are supposed to be there in ten days, staying just outside the East entrance. At this point, assuming anything is ridiculous, but I am assuming we can adjust plans to visit the southern part of the park and spend more time in the Tetons. I am incredibly bummed to see this happen, as the...

    Vasectomy

    Here is my reply to a previous post regarding the same thing: Very attractive prep nurse shaved my thigh, slapped the grounding pad on and slopped iodine everywhere Doc numbed the boys up, and then electrocuted the **** out of me when he activated the cautery knife It didn't hurt per se, I just...
