    DIY Rokstok Modification

    After seeing stock modifications others like @ResearchinStuff and @PathFinder have done to make their guns more shootable and easier to spot their own impacts, I had decided that I was going to try it myself. Then with the Rokstok being built, I used that as a template to modify my original...

    Tent Question: Hilleberg Anjan or Stone Glacier Skyscraper

    I'm getting ready to do an Alaska dall hunt next August and think I have my tent selection down to the Anjan (2 or 3) or Skyscraper. Between these, I'm curious if any of you guys have used them (preferably used both) and if you have a preference of one over the other. My brother and I will be...

    Stone Glacier De Havilland or Sitka Timberlines?

    I am looking very closely at these two pairs of pants as a late season hunting pant, primarily for hunting late October mule deer off my back here in Idaho. On one hand I really like the idea of the water proofing on the timberlines, but on the other hand I hike a ton and think the vents of the...

    Am I going to regret buying a Maven S2 spotter?

    I can get a S2 spotter right now for about $600. It would be my first spotting scope and would be mainly for hunting mule deer in Idaho. I’m just wondering if I’ll get it and immediately regret not waiting and saving for another year to get something bigger with a higher max zoom. Right now I...

    Maven S2 Spotter

    I'd be curious to hear from some people who have experience running this spotter in the field. I'm looking at it mainly to get an idea about what kind of frame a deer has before making a stalk on it. I'm not worried about counting inches and looking for stickers, I just want to have an idea...

    Hanwag fit compared to Zamberlan

    I've been wearing the Zamberlan 980 Outfitters the last few years and while they fit pretty well and have worked alright, I am thinking about trying a pair the Hanwag Alaska GTX out as my next set of boots. Unfortunately no stores around me carry any that I can try on so I was hoping some of you...

    Trekking Poles for Pyramid Setup

    I just finished sewing a DIY pyramid tent and I'm getting ready to order a new set of trekking poles that I can also use as the pole for it. I'm really liking the reviews and price of the Cascade Mountain Tech aluminum poles, but the only thing I'm wondering is if you can remove the bottom...

    Removing HIT Inserts

    Does anyone have any tricks for removing HIT inserts from the axis arrows? I have quite a few older arrows that are a little long and it looks like after I cut them shorter there will still be about 1/2" of the inserts left in them.

    300 WM barrel question

    I have a Remington 700 in 300 WM that I inherited from my grandpa. Right now its barrel is 24" and he had the barrel ported. I am thinking about having the barrel cut down and recrowned just below the porting which would put it just a bit over 22". My thinking behind this is to hopefully make it...

    Bugle tube while hiking

    What do you guys do with your bugle tube while hiking? This will be my first year bowhunting for elk and I am just trying to figure out the best place to have it so that it is easy to get to quickly, but still out of the way for a quick shot. I have an exo pack and with the tube slung around my...

    First DIY Projects

    Here are a my first real attempts at sewing. Other than a couple little pullouts and stuff sacks, I had never really sewed before and I think they turned out pretty well. The first I made was a quilt for myself, then a couple days later I made a double quilt for my wife and I. They look a little...

    New Guy from North Idaho

    I've been reading a ton on here so I figured I should probably introduce myself. I just moved from the midwest this past spring and me and my wife are both loving it. After putting in a ton of time and effort scouting, I was able to have a very successful first season out here killing a spike...
