    4 person tipis for solo hunt

    I use a Cimarron for solo backpacking and hunting. It's not enough weight to sway me away from comfort/space. I used to use a Hilleberg Soulo (heavier) and then a Hiilleberg Enan (lighter). Both are great tents. But the room that the Cimarron and similar shelters provide for a hunting...

    Do former band geeks make the best elk callers?

    -Attack Sustain Decay Release are sound-shaping basics of subtractive east-coast analog synthesis that play into my calling every time. What would Robert Moog thing of this?

    Best lightweight vest

    I use Sitka Mountain Vest over a thin or medium base layer for (active) morning/evening hunts up high (late Aug/early Sept). Great for cutting alpine wind but not roasting you out when moving about.

    CO OTC success

    It was tricky in the part of 53 that I was hunting this year. Places that I normally find sign and critters, I did not. Same for 521 to a degree. Very quiet too. Heard my first bugle this morning and it very well could have been a hunter.

    Recommendation on affordable 2 person tent?

    I really hope all tent manufacturers are tree huggers AND support hunting. I'm parting with a Big Agnes Copper Spur UL II. Holler if you're interested.

    Will a Hilleberg Soulo be to hot?

    I don't think you'll be too hot at night at all. I use my Soulo in September in Colorado and am completely comfortable. Nights are cool for the most part. If it's in the direct hot sun in the middle of the day, it can be toasty in there, but night time....it's perfect. I know it's heavy...

    October - 3 or 4 season tent?

    I'm in CO, so that time of year can mean anything as far as weather /precip. I like the protection, sturdiness and relative comfort of a 4 season or mountaineering tent, personally. In the past, I've had some sneaker storms that had me waking up to a few inches of spindrift around my down bag...

    LO Plateau vs SO Cimmaron

    Hoping to hear more about the Plateau. The other shelter I had my eye on is a SO Red Cliff, mainly for the height. Plateau is a few inches taller and also has more and higher guy points. Is 20D ripstop something to be concerned about (compared to the Red Cliff's 30D)? My Hilleberg Enan is...

    fishnet longjohns

    Add some 8 hole Doc Martins and a Skinny Puppy shit and you've got me at age 14. Seriously though, I use airbase top for X-C skiing. Just that and a softshell (no membrane) and I'm good on sunny days.

    Anyone live near the Melanzana store in Leadvile, CO?

    I was super-stoked to stop at the shop for the first time on a trip through Leadville a few weeks ago. I was interested in the gridded fleece as well, but after checking out their sub-par gear and getting a dismissive and pretentious 'flat-brim attitude', I'll stick to Patagucci R1's. They...

    Sitka rep anti-gun

    I'm not seeing anti-gun. I'm seeing a short vague statement about reality.

    CO GMU 54 Update

    Sheep, sheepdogs, dry condition, a silent rut and gorgeous fall color. That's what I'm experiencing in 10+ days in 53 and 521. Usually I can hear them at night on the private property on the eastern edge of 54. Not this year. I don't know much about the population dynamics of the West Elks...

    Colorado GMU 53

    I've been hunting the north end of the unit and it seems that sheep have been through recently. Not sure what part you are in, but grazing can (not always) be a curveball.

    Rain report for Colorado

    It was an all day soaker here in Crested Butte, but not the 4 day event that we were hoping for.

    Anyone know West Elk Wilderness in GMU 54 Colorado?

    Both hunters and hikers. Although I'd say more hikers than hunters. Fall was so warm and lasted forever last year. It was very inviting for all types of recreators.

    Anyone know West Elk Wilderness in GMU 54 Colorado?

    I hunted this unit last archery season. Saw more people than I ever did hunting front range OTC units. Surprised me, for sure.
