I often hunt by myself. However being honest with myself, as much as people drive me nuts, I think I would go bonkers without being able to interact with my family and friends.
When I'm doing a drop camp in Alaska I bring my Anker power bank. I have a GOAL Zero solar charger but the Anker saves weight and space and is all I need for my cel phone which I link to my Inreach. I keep my cel phone usually off throughout the day but definitely in airplane mode when it's...
I'll second the Gunbarrel and Snake River Brewery in Jackson. Also try Pearl Street Bagels for a quick breakfast and coffee. I drove past the military museum in Dubois just over a year ago and didn't have time to stop but it's definitely on my list for a return trip. The National Bighorn...
I just got back from Fairbanks myself and I couldn't believe how much the rental cars were if you could even find one. We kept the local Lyft drivers well employed while we were in town on this trip. It was also nearly impossible to get hotel rooms before and after our drop camp as many of the...
I keep most of my gear in totes in the garage and have a standup dresser in the house to hold most of my hunting clothes. From summer through the hunting seasons I have piles in my garage. First pile of stuff comes from summer scouting, then moves onto my elk archery pile, then I have my...
My initial two cents from hunting drop camps for moose and caribou in Alaska. I've hunted north of Fairbanks, the Alaska Range, and the Talkeetna area. I have not hunted the Kotzebue area. I'll second Twincedars advice of hiking sticks and a foam pad (I take a crazy creek chair that folds up...
I have two Knight Big Horns with thumb hole stocks. The thing is lights out with TMZ 250’s and 777 pellets for deer. For me this set up works great for mule deer in Eastern, WA. I like the pellets because where I hunt can get really windy and the pellets make for easy reloading in a hurry. I...
Reviving an old thread, just sat down to watch the outdoor channel and I’m like crap that looks like Luke and Becca. I’ve only seen photos of them on this site and I haven’t been around a whole lot lately and quite frankly haven’t watched any hunting shows in the last couple years because I...
That pic with the 44 is from caribou camp this year. That’s one of those titanium cylinder and alloy frame 44 mags and I had been practicing at the range with my new Kenai holster before the trip and I believe the concussion snapped the screw holding the grips. The grips fell off as we were...
Yeah packs are kinda like shoes, always something better or shinier around the corner. After running Badlands packs and meat hauler frames for years I purchased the original Exo 3500 and have since picked up a couple different Stone Glacier packs. I love the Exo and the Stone Glacier’s and...
I’m gonna have to bite the bullet and save up for a new one. I just bought a Toyota Tacoma in cement and that color is only a year old and pretty limited so not a likely chance for me finding a used canopy.
