    Late Season Deep Timber Strategies

    I've never been much of a deep timber hunter, at least when they're not bugling. More the spot and stalk type. That said, I'm trying to expand the tools in the kit bag. Started hunting a small canyon / valley complex I know holds elk. It's almost all timber with very few open meadows and...

    Intrusive Bears and Food Stored Under Truck Bed Covers

    Anyone stored food in a truck bed with hard (or I guess soft) cover and had a bear try and get in there?. I have a hard tonneau cover on my bed and am looking to bring a cooler with steaks, burgers, etc for an extended hunt. We'll be in black bear country for sure with the possibility of...

    Wall Tent Stove Size Recommendations

    I recently bought a 12x14 wall tent and would like to get a stove for it. I've been looking at the Cylinder Stoves at Montana Canvas (link at bottom) and can't decide which size to go with. I'll mostly be using this set up by myself and ideally would like a stove that 1) adequately heats the...

    WM Kodiak MF vs Badger MF

    I'm going to buy one but can't decide which. This is my first foray into high end down sleeping bags. Use will be Rocky Mountain hunts Sept - Nov. Up to this point, I've used synthetics and have tended to be a cold sleeper so thought I'd go with the Kodiak. But now I'm beginning to think it...

    Anyone use the Manfrotto Element Traveller tripods? Interested in your thoughts if you have. They look very similar to some of the Sirui tripods and are less expensive.

    Helinox Ground Chair vs Chair One

    Planning on purchasing a Helinox chair. I've tried the Chair One and liked it but don't like that the legs slip into soft dirt. I haven't tried the Ground Chair. The Ground Chair is smaller so not sure how comfortable it is but the boxed leg design won't suffer from the same problem as the...

    Western Mountaineering - GWS vs MF breathability

    I'm planning on purchasing a Western Mountaineering bag but am having difficulty deciding if I want to go with GWS or MF. I like the idea of an added layer of moisture protection but am also concerned about how well the bag will breath. I've read just about every review I can find on the...
