    Taking our daughter/ Moffat 2019 Trips

    One of my goals for 2019 was to do a better job of documenting our outdoor adventures (hunting and otherwise) with our 2 year old daughter, Molly. Before she was born, Luke and I both committed to continuing hunting and outdoor hobbies as a family, but it was hard to know what that would really...

    Adaptations and Energy Requirements in Backcountry Hunting

    Many of you know Larry Bartlett of Pristine Ventures in Fairbanks. He presented at the AK SCI last weekend on a study he helped conduct at the University of Alaska Fairbanks last summer regarding caloric expenditures and caloric intake on backcountry hunts. I was unable to attend in person, so I...

    Becca's Kodiak Brown Bear Hunt 2016

    We have been home a week, and I figured some of you would enjoy a quick recap of my recent Kodiak Bear Hunt. I have been busy with work and getting ready for the packraft rondy next week, so this will be more photos than writing. Luke and I spent 10 nights and 11 days with no one but each other...

    Getting deals on backpacking entrees

    It came up in another thread, and i didn't want to derail so I am posting it here. Dehydrated entrees can get pricy, and most MH, BPP, Alpine Air or Natural High entrees run between $7-$10 for a single (2 serving) pouch. I have found by watching for sales, and being prepared to jump when I find...

    Organizing and counting food...

    Starting to try and get ready for hunting season around here, and since we have most of our gear pretty well dialed in, one of the biggest tasks is food prep. I count/portion out all the food Luke and I will need for each trip in advance, and try to have it prestaged to accommodate short turn...

    Iridium Go...an interesting new product for staying connected

    Looks like Iridium has unveiled a new product that turns any smart phone or tablet into a sat phone. They are billing it as "a cell tower in your pocket", and advertising slow data connectivity as well as sat phone capabilities. We have long dreamed about something like this, as we typically...

    Brought home a friend today!

    Got the long anticipated call today that our taxidermist was finished with my goat from our 2012 Kodiak hunt! For those of you that saw our episodes on AK Outdoors Television, this is the nanny I took on that trip--the goat that broke my "Kodiak curse" :) I couldn't be happier with how she...

    Quick Tip: Gear Repair in the field with AquaSeal UV

    Recently added a new product to our emergency kit, and thought some of you might find it useful. I have used regular AquaSeal for gear repairs for years, but the long cure time (8-12 hours) made it sort of impractical for use in the field. I typically waited to use it until we returned home and...

    Not the ram I wanted, but he will do...

    So we are just home from a 6 night trip hunting my drawing sheep tag with our good friend Steve (stid2677). We encountered super variable weather on this trip, including exceedingly high winds and I ended up coming home without a ram, but we gave it an honest effort. Bivied one night at...

    What's your pregame food look like?

    This came up in another thread, and I thought it was worth discussing.

    What one day's worth of food looks like for us

    I have been organizing food and gear to get things ready for multiple trips we have upcoming, the first of which is an 18 day sheep/caribou hunt via backpack and packraft. I get a lot of questions and PMs about food, as far as what we take with us when we are living out of a pack so I thought I...

    Food packing station gets an overhaul

    Every year I set up a food packing station at the beginning of the season. The idea is that I will have all our backpacking food components in one location, so I can keep tabs on quantities through out the season, and also so that I can pack for multiple trips in a hurry. Last year, while...

    Space saving storage idea for small gear

    We already have a gear storage method for the big stuff-- packs, sleeping bags, clothing and footwear all have a place in a tote, closet or on hooks in the garage. It's the small miscellaneous stuff that I have been struggling to keep organized and accessible. Our spare bedroom had become a...

    Stove Jack Installation!

    So after years of begging and encouragement by Luke, I finally sewed my own stove jack into a tent today! While I have been sewing for a number of years, my skills are fairly basic and the thought of potentially ruining a good tent had me intimidated. Today I got brave and finally attempted to...

    Rokslide Cookbook

    There really are not a lot of resources available for cooking wild game, and most of us have had to figure out the best ways to cook it through trial and error. In our household we have a collection of recipes we love, but I am always looking for new ideas. Members of our Rokslide community have...

    Pressure Canned Moose Chili

    I have been pressure canning the last several years as an alternative way to preserve meat and fish without requiring a fridge or freezer. Home canned goods are great because you can pop the lid and have food that is already cooked and ready to eat, without any defrosting or additional prep...

    Another breakfast option!

    I have been trying to come up with some new options for breakfast, as I am getting tired of oatmeal. We did some granola on our goat hunt last fall, but it was almost too sweet, and besides that pretty spendy. This afternoon I made a double batch of my own cranberry coconut granola: I ended...
