    10yo Daughter’s First Dall Ram

    Feeling bit guilty as I somehow missed posting my daughter’s first sheep hunt here in the youth section. My then 10yo Harper was nothing short of a warrior as she scrambled through well over 50 miles of verticals and endless boulder fields before finally scoring her ram. Super special hunt as...

    Shoulder Strap Carriers w/ Trekking Poles?

    For folks that have run the peak or cotton or similar camera carrier mounts that affix to the shoulder straps on backpacks, have folks used them with trekking poles for any extended periods? If so, how did the mount work, and was the camera on your upper chest much of a hassle or get thrown...

    WTB WTB Kimber Adirondack in 7/08

    Just as it says. Would like to find a new or used Adirondack in 7/08. Would even consider a Mountain Ascent if it were reasonable enough, but plan to cut the barrel back for kiddo to run suppressed--so rather not spend extra over the Adirondack since I would still need to have smith cut and...

    Rotten Death Smell

    Did a couple searches and saw several on getting blood out--not my issue. I need to know how to make my pack not smell like I carried a dead, dismembered body around in it for a week in my SG pack. Most years I get some blood in my packs. I get home, soak, wash, put in my dry shed, and few...

    Electrolyte/Recovery/Mental Focus Supps

    Saw a couple folks list these in the food thread, and not wanting to highjack, figured I’d start fresh. Who packs them, and of those that do, what are favorite or dreaded brands/flavors? I usually bring salt-stick tabs to replenish electrolytes, but can see the merit in some of the...

    Alaska Peninsula Brownie

    Still mid-trip trying to help buddy fill his tag, but I hit gold first day of our hunt. Doing a DIY hunt out on the AK Peninsula. Found this old brute on a moose kill, and after giving him some time since the wind was all wrong, returning in the evening, from there everything couldn’t have...

    Sony Alpha and Lens for Hunts & Digiscope??

    If the whole covid ordeal doesn’t wreck the fall, we have three pretty special family hunts this year that has me thinking of adding a mirrorless camera to the pack. Since I’ve shot full frame for the past several years I am struggling going back to a crop sensor, but also know it will still...

    Thru-Hike Pack??? UL or Lite Kifaru or SG or ???

    To build off the earlier post of hunting pack for training hikes, what about longer thru-hikes? Doing the 220 miles of John Muir Trailin advance of sheep season this year if the high snow levels of the Sierras don’t cause too much issue. Sheep season would have proven the right time to do it...

    Another Great Moose Season.

    This is my 3rd consecutive year enjoying the same moose camp out of Kotzebue on a little strip my father in law built back in the early 80’s. Dicey place to land at best, but Northern Air Trophy always gets us safely in and out. 3rd consecutive year with 3 consecutive beautiful bulls. This...

    First Sheep Hunt in the Books

    Well, back in January 2017 I made a pact with myself, a resolution of sorts, to focus on getting into better health and promised myself as a carrot to go on my first sheep hunt, which I have dreamed of since a child. After 19 months of the gym 4-6 times a week, and 8-25 miles of mountain hiking...

    Free standing mountain tent suggestions

    One of those threads, but I keep running into the same stalling point, so figured I’d jump up and ask. Needing a free standing tent that is light enough to pack well, but durable enough to stand up to strong winds. Not looking for a tipi/taro/hammock—already have a nice Seek Outside cimmaron...

    WTS/WTT Kifaru Complete Set-Up AMR/22MAG with Spotter and Pockets

    The entire rig is as close to new as used can get--the Duplex Frame, AMR and one medium belt pocket went into the field on a flyout (my brother used it as his duffel) but was never carried or used. The lid and one front pocket on the AMR has a darker spot from some mud/dirt that got on it when...

    The Wife really got me back....

    As the Alaska permit results came out today, there was one particular goat permit I had really, really went on and on about—and ultimately gave rise to the best gotcha my wife has ever given, even if she sort of lucked into it.... After my “A Fight With the Misses: a how to guide” in the sheep...
