    WM GWS bags - Worth it or no?

    So I’m looking to upgrade my sleeping bag this year. I used a Nemo Sonic 0F bag this year and not only did I get cold but I got very wet. First was during moose season where I had to throW on layers on to stay warm in the mid 20s, which caused me to sweat and then get colder (yay!). Second was...

    A Caution about Grizzly Synthetic Game Bags

    This year at moose camp we had a few varieties of game bags: TAG bags, Grizzly Cotton Bags and Grizzly synthetic bags. For those that don’t know, Grizzly is the brand of bag that 3 Bears sells up in Alaska. Not Sure if they’re readily available elsewhere. The Grizzly synthetic bags took the...

    First time for Everything

    Tomorrow afternoon at some point, weather permitting, starts my first Dall Sheep hunt. It will also be my first solo hunt that goes over night. I spent 10 years waiting for someone to go moose hunting with me, I wasn’t about to do the same for sheep. Two years of prep and for me a successful...

    SO tents and silt?

    How does one clean silt off of a SO Redcliff? Besides just spraying it with a hose that is. Would a soft brush and dawn dish work without wrecking it? FYI silt clings to the tent material like it has a static charge!

    I'm currently in the market for a new set of work boots to change out with my Danner Acadias. The Acadias are due for a resole and some TLC at Danner's rebuild shop and I'm looking at boot of par with or better than the Acadias. Some back ground for work: I average 6 miles a day on concrete...

    Alaska Turkey Hunting

    Has anyone actually tried to target turkeys up here? I know there are feral turkeys in quite a few places in the Matsu Valley and with ADF&G labeling them as feral they fall under the “no limit, no closed season” rules. I’m looking to find a spot to try and get one for Thanksgiving cause I just...

    Nemo Chogori and a heater?

    Has anyone used one of the Nemo tents with any type of propane heater (thinking the buddy heaters)? I have a Chogori 3P tent and I’m thinking if I open the roof vents with a small buddy heater I should be just fine, with all the standard precautions of course. Heading up north to help my grandpa...

    Explorer+, Mini or 66i?

    First off I am aware this gets asked a lot but its not often I see it for Alaska in specific. I’m looking for some sort of inReach so I can keep my wife up to date with hunting progress/issues that arise. In fact it’s so important that I do this that I can’t go on any of the solo hunts I want to...

    Cartilage Removal on Euro mounts

    Anyone have tips to removing the nose cartilage for a European mount on a moose? All the videos I’ve seen have to do with deer and elk which seems infinitely easier than my moose right now. I’ve simmered the skull for several hours in oxyclean and then dish soap to get most of the flesh and...
