I built a homemade drying/aging chamber relatively cheap/easy. When dry curing sausage, temp/humidity is pretty critical so it's worth doing it right. To low of humidity, and the outside dries creating a crust, preventing the inside from ever drying. Too humid/hot for to long, you can get some...
Not that would necessarily help with the damaged bag situation, but for the lost bag situation, I've heard of folks slipping one of those apple air tags in their luggage. Seems like a good idea especially for bow/rifle cases.
Same here, just pulled the trigger on $10k of i-bonds to get 6 months of that 9.6%. Looks like it'll be around 6.5%-ish come November, which is still good considering literally anywhere else I've been putting money has a negative instantly associated with it.
I have heard that the nastyness is concentrated in the fat, so I'd remove every bit of fat as possible. Then I'd plan on making sausage products with the meat, adding pork fat, and maybe increasing the seasoning by about 50%. It'll probably still taste off though. Good luck and if you get one...
Ok I’ll explain. The habitat in the places you listed is conducive for supporting all those species without pike becoming dominant. Fish habitat, just like wildlife habitat, plays a critical role in what species are present and potentially become dominant, or what balance they find. In places...
Don't recall the name, but my money is on that guy who posted here about moving up to the Fairbanks area and living off the land over the winter, hunting everything with his AR-15. He seemed to have it all figured out.
Yeah at this point you probably have to just take whoever has a spot. You could probably find a spot on a 12 pack here or there, but I'd guess all the smaller 6 packs are booked. They're probably even filling up for next year already.
I would look into materials produced by professionals on the subject. They have whole programs for this. Bill Hillman and Evan Graham are a couple. I got Evan Grahams Smart Fectch book and followed that one with my pup.
Shoot me a pm when you're able to.
For moving, I'd load up a truck and trailer and drive up if possible. Each place has it's pros/cons, I'm familiar with all those locations. Smart to bring a lady, don't want to have to look for one here. Hunting can be done on the cheap, but it really...
I replaced the 5.4 (long block) in my super duty at 150,000 mi for about $5,500 at the dealer. The motor was technically fine, but had some serious leaks that'd cost almost the same to fix, so why not get a new motor? Plus it came with a 3 year unlimited mile warranty. Way cheaper than a new...
I stand by my statement as I know the leash laws in Alaska where I live. BLM has nothing to do with any public land near me or a majority of the population here. There's a tremendous about of public land here that isn't BLM or any Federal agency. So, as I stated, most trap/dog encounters I...
I trap and also have a bird dog (retriever) so I see both sides. There's irresponsible trappers and irresponsible dog owners. However, most of the trap/dog encounters I hear about though is dog owners letting their untrained mut run free on a hike when technically (according to the law) they...
