    Overrated Gear

    Expensive multi tools. Got a Leatherman Skeletool for ~$80 that I never use. A cheap walmart multi tool is ~$6, has more tools, weighs only half an ounce more and i don't care if I lose it. Probably not as durable but whatever... I'll replace it if needed without second thought. I'm much more...

    Looking for hunting partner in the Seattle/Washington area

    I should say that I only bow hunt right now although I'm considering getting a shotgun and/or 22 for feathered things and small critters

    Looking for hunting partner in the Seattle/Washington area

    Hey folks, I just moved to the Seattle, WA (Covington) area and am looking to continue my not-so-illustrious hunting career here. I've been hunting for ~4 years and connected with my first deer last year in CA. I'm down to hunt just about anything and also go on scouting, fishing, and whatever...

    Washington hunting questions

    I'm moving CA > WA too and came here with the exact same question as OP. I hope all the negative replies are just to discourage folks from moving to WA... otherwise I'd be pretty heart broken. I was hoping hunting would be better up there.

    Are DIY Dehydrated Meals Worth it?

    I see some folks say to get the fat out but I actually like to keep as much of it as possible. It doesn't go rancid that fast and it's all good calories. Make the meals right before you head out and make enough for the trip so you don't end up storing it for a while. Even then, vac sealed and...

    1st deer of my life in CA D6

    Sharing anything we got was an absolute no-brainer to me. Getting the deer was the 'easy' part... packing it out was the hard as hell part... if we're sharing the work, we should also share the reward.

    1st deer of my life in CA D6

    We talked so much on the hike back to camp. I'd sing too "Hi Ho Hi Ho Off to camp we go..." Lol! Good times. We did see some eyes glowing in the distance... I guessed deer but we'll never know All the best and good luck. What I learned on this hunt that I'd been missing on all my previous hunts...

    1st deer of my life in CA D6

    I'm sure it's all in my head. All the predators for the most part are more afraid of us and avoid us but I'm just not used to the darkness of the woods. My mind starts to wander and everything looks like a bear that wants to tear me apart. It's just instinct and not being comfortable with the...

    1st deer of my life in CA D6

    Super ******* tough! We learned our first lessons on the hike in: 1. We are way too out of shape to go from sea level to ~8k and then hike up to ~10k with gear. We're going to be doing A LOT of hikes with packs until next year 2. We need to lighten up our packs considerably. Before heading out...

    1st deer of my life in CA D6

    I don't post much here but I read A LOT! You can't imagine how many google searches I've made "rokslide <insert gear/topic i need to learn about>" to learn from all of yous so i want to say: Thank you all! Another, what I think is important piece, I forgot to write about was my thoughts on the...

    1st deer of my life in CA D6

    I've been bow hiking for 4 years now. All of my hunting excursions have been absolute garbage. I've mostly been up to Mendocino NF where it's too thick to glass (where I'd go anyway) and the place was overrun with road hunters. I'd hike around making a bunch of noise, scaring everything away and...

    Found some new training weights for you pack

    I have a 50# bag of concrete mix that cost around 4$. I've just wrapped the whole thing in duct tape so it doesn't get me or my pack dirty. Works like a charm!

    Backcountry food

    I dehydrated a bunch of vegetabkes and made beef jerky. I found bone broth powder in small via type packages. I put it all together, add hot water and done. It's not great, tbh, but after a hard day, when it's cold at night, it feels incredible!

    Backcountry tents

    Seek outside Cimarron is the only tent I've ever had. I was super worried about it being floorless at first but it's been awesome tbh. I am in California and haven't camped much in rain but i can imagine how nice it must be to be able to just walk in to the tent without having to take boots off...

    Cabelas Credit Card 10% off days - gone for good?

    I've been waiting for a coupon/discount so I can get a sausage stuffer but it's been pretty dry for the past few months. There was a $100 club points offer when banks for the card switched to Capital One. You had to make something like 15 purchases with the card to get $100 extra points. I'd...

    Nature can be brutal

    Life ain't a Disney movie out there. 'survive' is the name of the game and the eagles in these vids are winning.
