    Finally got around to it!

    Well I finally got off my butt and ordered a stove for my supertarp. I ordered a 18” Lite Outdoors cylinder stove with a 5’ pipe. My logic is that it’s big enough to put a longer pipe on when I get myself a sawtooth eventually for camping with my son, while still being reasonable for the...

    Stove size?

    So I just bought a supertarp and annex in the classifieds. I’m stoked, I’ve wanted one for a long time now. now, I’m thinking about my next investment which is a stove. Im a minimalist so initially I’m thinking a 12” cylinder stove from Lite Outdoors, but I’d like to get a sawtooth, or maybe an...

    DIY Paratarp

    So I have a 7x10 tarp that I don’t use much anymore and I’ve decided to take scissors to it and make it into an approximation of the kifaru Paratarp. I’m gonna taper it from 7’ to 5’ starting at the half way point, to make the most of the tarp width. Cut back the front corners and sew in the...

    DIY mountain goat help

    One of my bucket list hunts is a diy mountain goat hunt. In fact, it’s sort of my Mt Everest hunt. That said, I have no idea where to start. I have most of the gear, but I need to get some better glass. I know I can always go to Alaska or BC but that’s cost prohibitive for me, at least for the...

    Center zip beaver tail/gun bearer

    I’ve been wanting a way to secure my rifle to my pack and can’t spare the change for what I really want, a Kifaru Sherman pocket, for a while yet. So, I made a ultra simplistic take on it. It’s 10”x12” in 500d. I don’t have pics of it mounted to me Reckoning, but when I get packed for this...

    Another Kifaru style stuff sack

    I have a medium 5 string Kifaru stuff save for my sleeping bag and love it. I wanted a large 3 string fit my lost park parka and with a hunting trip a week away, ordering one wouldn’t be an option with the time constraint. Im semi-handy with a sewing machine and had a sleeping bag project...

    Slick bag +20 comparison?

    Im strongly considering investing in a Kifaru 20* slick bag but am curious how it compares with my current bag, which is a USGI intermediate bag. Does anybody have both that can compare them in warmth?

    Old school broadheads anyone?

    I know the higher tech broad heads are all the rage now, but does anyone use the old school Bear Razorheads or Zwickeys anymore? Right now I’m using Zwickey Eskimos with 125 grain broadhead adapters for a total point weight of 250 grains. The eskimos take and hold a screaming edge and they’re...

    Salting hides while backpack hunting

    Ok so I’m going to Idaho for spring bear in May and it’s my first time hunting spring bear. I will be backpacking in several miles and while I have my setup pretty well dialed in, I’m new to bear hunting and am unsure about hide care. I know most folks say to skin and flesh it followed by...

    Kifaru door gunner vs quandary

    Ok so I’m planning on buying one of the two this spring and can’t decide between the two. First: I’m aware they’re both slim and low capacity And I’ve owned the Zippy, and while it was a fantastic pack it was a little too big for just carrying on day hikes. I pack pretty light. I really...
