    Idaho High Country Mule Deer Hunt

    Nice mtnwrunner. I enjoyed reading about the adventure. I hunted out that way a couple years back for elk, up next to the Salmon River area on up to the Montana border at the Continental Divide and you have some awesome mountain range country up that way. They kicked my butt pretty good. I...

    I-phone GPS apps recommendation and questions

    I'm sold on Gaia Pro. And, I also use the OnXmaps for places when I'm hunting areas with a lot of public land with private land boarders like I did recently on a 10 day hunt in CO . They both work similar but I like the Gaia interface better with maps, waypoints and plotting routes. I like...

    Katadyn hiker pro plugged up

    I've had mine for years with no issues. I tend to try and find water clean of debris whenever possible and like mentioned, if you have real dirty, muddy water it is best to clean it before it clogs up the system, hoses, filter and such. It does not take all that much to clean it when you get...

    Non-mainsream bows

    Your welcome Chris. Can't say enough good and great things about your shop and your work. I've sent someone up your way already from San Jose that I met out at the bow range here who wanted a similar set up and they were happy too. Sure there might be closer options for me but I was happy...

    Non-mainsream bows

    I feel your pain moxford. We are pretty limited on choices for bow shops here in San Jose. I made the drive up to Oregon and had Chris, "OR Archer" here on this thread make up a Hoyt carbon Spyder for me last year. No sales tax in Oregon was a plus but they also have a great bow shop. I am...

    who is ramping up the training using a stairmaster

    The revolving stairs has helped me a lot this past year. I have noticed a big difference and I feel very comfortable going up hills now. I do other types of training in the gym and change it up now and then but I contribute the revolving stairs to be one of the best exercises for me. It would be...

    who is ramping up the training using a stairmaster

    The revolving stairs in my gym has been an awesome workout for me going uphill better. I switch up things now and then but I come back to the revolving stairs often, with a weighted pack and also without one.

    Stepping back as owner of Rokslide

    Best wishes to you Aron and I’m looking forward in hearing from you as the Backcountry Editor. You’re a straight shooter when it comes to saying what you think and it is one of the things I admire about you. Sounds like this decision will give you more freedom to continue doing that. Thanks...

    Best hunting vid I've seen in a LONG time, maybe ever!

    Got the DVD and watched it. It says it well in the title, "Stalkers in the Backcountry". Some awesome deer stalking footage and his commentary on high country mule deer hunting with a recurve bow. I was very impressed on what goes into making one of his bows at the end of the DVD. I was...

    Wilderness Athlete

    I've been using the Hydrate and Recover for a while now. This was posted a couple days ago on the Wilderness Athlete youtube. I've found it to be true for me using their product so far. I'm not a big fan of supplements but this product seems far better than some of the other products...

    Best hunting vid I've seen in a LONG time, maybe ever!

    South is a very good guy. We went to visit him at his shop to get my son one of his bows a couple months back. South spent some time with my son, shooting some different bows and draw weights and gave him some tips. He also took us on a tour on how he makes his bows and the process. It takes...
