    Tires for Elk hunting

    I have 5-ply Michelin tires on my F-150 and have put some gashes in the side-walls from two trips to CO and some "off-road" in Wisconsin, which is mostly fields and farm paths.

    Cot and pad suggestions

    I recently upgraded to a Kodiak Canvas tent and after setting it up, I realized I have a lot of extra space. I have been sleeping on a sea to summit comfort plus pad for all my camping and it worked, but think a nice cot and pad might be a better option for truck Basecamp this fall in Montana...

    Another Newbie looking for Elk hunting pack help

    I am looking for suggestions for a backpack I can use Elk hunting this fall in NW Colorado. I will mostly be car camping, so it will likely only be used as a day pack, but want a pack system versatile enough to use for a short day or two backpacking trip should we decide we need to get farther...

    Hi Everyone! I've been lurking for a while and decided to join and introduce myself.
