    Curl, my friend wrote a sheep book

    A friend of mine wrote a book about his Colorado once in a lifetime sheep hunt. The book is called Curl and is available on Amazon. I don't have any financial interest in his success, just like to see a good dude having a good time outdoors. If you are looking for some sheep reading, check it out.

    InReach SOS use summary

    I found an interesting article about the first 10,000 SOS uses from the Garmin InReach. It looks like hunters aren’t the only ones hitting the help button. https://bikepacking.com/news/garmin-sos-data/

    Sold Garmin Inreach Mini $250

    SOLD Looking to sell my Inreach Mini. Works great, no problems with it. Bought it in the run up to my Alaska trip, but no grand adventures on the horizon for me in the near future.

    Versatile hunting dog?

    I’ve always had labs, and my last one would hunt damn near everything. I love upland, but want a dog that can hunt waterfowl too. I have never had a pointer, but all the guys i pheasant hunt with use them. My big issue is they don’t care about downed birds. What breeds should I look at that can...

    WTB 22 mag

    Looking to buy an older 22 mag in a lever action or slide action. Prefer no external safety or 7 pages of lawyer warnings on the rifle. Octagon barrel is a plus. Willing to trade a marlin 336 with a local rodeo logo on the stock plus or minus cash or other stuff.

    2021 Alaska remote hunt: what worked, what didn't

    I just returned from a 12 day fly in trip to Alaska. We had some pieces of gear that worked really well, and some that failed completely. I thought I would share my experiences as they may help others with their purchases. First off: Water filters. My partner and I each brought a filter...

    DIY fire starters

    I have used a lot of fire starters and always come back to Vaseline soaked cotton balls. They compress really small, weigh nothing, and take a spark from a Ferro rod great if you pull them apart. They are impervious to water. the biggest downside to me was making them. My hands always came out...

    Talk me into ditching jetboil for MSR

    Looking at the MSR windburner or duo. I’ve had a jetboil flash for a decade with good luck, but like the idea of a regulated burner. I really like the windburner, but hear horror stories of them requiring a factory reset and basically going inoperable in the middle of trips. Does anyone have...

    .340 Weatherby for moose and elk

    Assuming the time to make it work in your weatherby mk V, what Bullet would you pick for elk, caribou, black bear, and moose out to 500 yards? I’m leaning towards a 250 grain Woodleigh protected point, but have some lighter Barnes TTSX and Nosler Partitions that do ok too. Just haven’t taken...
