All of the butchers in Craig have significantly raised prices this year. Last year prices were $325 to $350 for standard processing for elk, this year it is average $450 for the same standard cut. This probably wont deter everyone but hopefully it gives a heads up to hunters that may have...
I have not but am going to order some, it seems like the most readily available 300 wsm ammo out there right now. After 4 or 5 shots it tends to open up to about 1.5 moa...not saying that some of that isn't me pulling a few either. I don't shoot from a lead sled, I shoot from a pack rest with...
I sold my MR and bought an Exo and could not be happier with it. Exo is one of the few pack makers out there that haven't resorted to selling in big box stores. Their customer service has been outstanding.
I wouldn't skimp on a pad because you don't really save that much money, add $80 dollars to Klymit and you can get a thermorest or nemo tensor.
Marmot bags are hard to beat for the price, I picked up a Marmot never summer 0 degree down bag on sale for $150 and its great. I did eventually...
The packs i have used are Kifaru, MR (guidelight mt frame), EXO k3 4800, SG sky 5900.
MR and and Kifaru are bomb proof but feel like you have a pallet strapped to your back, they lack flexibility in the frame. The MR hip belt does not agree with me either, it is too dense and rigid. The hip...
I vote for longer trip during season, the trail head that we park was almost full 3 days before season. Getting out and securing a camping spot is a good idea. Also this gives you a few days leeway in the case the weather is too bad and prevents you from hiking out that day. Our extra few...
I ended up ordering one of these bags and really happy...I was trying to go really light and compressible and worried that the gws bag would be lacking in that area compared to the mf series. After getting the bag I don't see that being the case...the gws takes a little more patience when...
I have a brand new with tags Kelvin lite down jacket in Subalpine large. Looking to trade for a medium in new or like new condition. Bought the jacket when I was out of state so returning to the retailer isn't an option.
Would also consider trade for a Women's Kelvin WS jacket for my wife.
I got the k3 4800...if the 6400 came with the horseshoe zipper I would have went with the bigger bag, they all pack down really small when not full. I can probably squeeze 8 to 10 days out of my 4800 which is as long as I will ever go out anyways but extra space never hurts.
