    I think I’m finally done with Salomon

    Soft boots don't last long. Light materials and abundant stitching present failure points. If you want boots to last, buy stiff soled with minimal seams and treat the leather to prevent it from rotting. If you want out of the box comfort that feels like a running shoe, you have to be ok with...

    Interesting 4/20 marketing by Simms

    Maybe the banana was his last resort after forgetting his regular fish whistle on a rock?

    Has your dog been injured?

    Once while camping, my dog jumped over a log and ripped his crotch skin on the stob of a branch that had been broken off. Another time, we got him x-rayed and found out that, at some point, he had broken a paw which since healed.

    Kuiu tiburon hybrid hoody

    That's how I feel about the Tiburon material as well. I bought the shorts and pretty well disliked them until I got the DWR washed off.

    Did it make the jump?

    I haven't read the originally linked article or case study. From reading your summary post, I don't see how they are making this jump. So the guy's friend dies of CJD. Did the first person mentioned die of CJD? "Had a history of consuming deer from an infected area" doesn't exactly inspire...

    Montana (and other state) hunter orange laws out dated?

    That's exactly what I thought of when I saw this.

    Bipod

    I have a picatinny one that I would sell you, if you're interested.

    Any bacon fans?

    Bottom left looks really good. What is "buckboard" bacon?

    Turkey leg recipe?

    Thighs get slow cooked and shredded. I usually do similar with the drumsticks, except I do them for my dog and also keep the broth to add to his kibbles.

    Picking the RIGHT hunting caliber/cartridge for the job. By the numbers

    @NSI the 143 is an ELD-X, FYI the M's are 140/147.

    Feedback on backcountry elk loadout

    There's some solid nuggets in here. "shitting like a crippled goose" "shitting like a pet coon" "three pounds of stripper tits bouncing" 😆 Did I miss anything?

    Feedback on backcountry elk loadout

    That's a good tip on softening the nut butter packets. Those suckers can get pretty robust when they're cold. I also typically prefer just having a couple oatmeal packets in the morning, it's quick and enough to be satisfying without being overly full. The peak breakfasts are really good, but...

    For those using Go Hunt for making draw decisions..

    I would be dubious of both 60% and 20% harvest success statistics. Colorado randomly samples people who had licenses that year. You could also have referenced the previous years on the CPW website. Besides, it seems like you are complaining about a tag that you haven't drawn for a hunt you...

    Feedback on backcountry elk loadout

    Is that thermarest pillow the big lumpy one, with chunks of foam inside? If so, I have the same one and there's no way I'm taking that on a hunting backpack trip. Ditch the tent liner. Bugs shouldn't be a problem on a rifle season trip. Ditch most of the paracord. If it's 550, swap it to...

    Josh Smith from Montana Knife Company

    Those are cool looking knives. I had never heard of them. Unfortunately, I won't be buying any knives that I can't purchase without participating in some hyped up "drop." The "create a shortage" business model is incredibly off-putting for me.

    What are the odds this is a micro-chipped Antler?

    Is that a recent photo or from the fall? My guess is that the CPW probably isn't baiting antlers on private property, unless there is a locally known reason to, i.e: a large and visible herd frequents that pasture, or trespassing claims from the landowner. Even if the antler isn't "chipped,"...

    Mountain Ops Update?

    I've become a big fan of mixing about half a scoop of Enduro with a full scoop of Ignite, or an Emergenc-C with the Ignite.

    Water heater installation cost in mtn west

    I did mine with the help of a buddy who had some flux, a torch, and a dolly. It never occurred to me that we might need a permit?

    Wild game cooking

    I like my deer meat to taste like deer meat. Cook to medium rare and enjoy it for what it is.
