    DIY adventure lumbar/fanny pack

    I wanted a small pack to take when I’m just going on day hikes, training or when I’m fishing, scouting. I have seen Kifaru and Marsupial make versions of this. This is my version: It’s made from 500d cordura and water resistant zippers. I’m making another for a buddy right now and I plan on...

    Your Favorite budget-ish fly rod

    I am looking at upgrading fly rods this year. I currently have a 4Wt 2 piece TFO lefty Kreh that I really like. I want to get a 4 piece for packing easier on backcountry trips and was looking at going with a 8 1/2 or 9 since my current rod is an 8 foot. I am looking pretty heavy at the TFO NXT...

    Critique my late season hunt/scout plan

    I drew a late season (Second week of November) mule deer rifle tag here in Washington. The unit has a max elevation of 6400' and the entire unit is designated wilderness area. I have never hunted late season mule deer but I am pretty familiar with this unit prior to drawing this tag. Here...

    Who else uses AllTrails to E-scout?

    Anybody else use Alltrails when e-scouting? If you don't here is why you should: - The obvious one is you can get trail data like how rough it is and when it was last maintained. - You can tell how crowded a trail might be based on the amount of reports a trail has. especially useful during elk...

    New Argali tent coming out?

    I was listening to the PNWild podcast and they hinted a new Argali tent coming out. It sounded like it was a larger tent, anybody have any information on this? I am in the market for a new tent and am looking at the Seek Redcliff for its size but would rather support Argali if they are going...

    Where are my anti-debt/credit card people at?

    I saw a post about the "best credit cards", credit cards make me want to vomit so I thought I would make a thread seeing who else has an aversion to debt and specifically credit cards? Edited to add I have a debit card because many of you think I meant actual cash all the time. I’m not a total...

    High country trail cam placement

    Where do you like to place trail cams in the high country? I am talking right at treeline areas. I have never messed with trail cams too much but am thinking of trying to use them a bit this summer to up my scouting game. I know people place them in saddles and other pinch points. Any tips...

    My DIY tipi

    Here is my most recent sewing project. Used a Silpoly from ripstopbytheroll. I wanted less stretch than the nylon which is why I went with the poly. I used some marine grade thread I already had from a boat seat project which in hindsight may have been a little heavy. I also have a walking foot...

    Couldn't get it done during archery season, school me on late season rifle.

    My archery season was the epitome of "game of inches" so many close calls and small mistakes over in western Montana. Being from Washington we can't hunt multiple different weapons in one year so I've never hunted late season/rifle season for elk. I've watched tons of Youtube videos of guys...

    A "Rokslide etiquette" list

    If we have this already somewhere and I am totally missing it let me know. I think there should be somewhere that has "general etiquette" or "good practices" for newbies. These aren't necessarily rules but things that you should know when new around here. I have a couple examples: - Though it...

    What do you look for when buying a backpacking tipi?

    Just wanting to hear what some people look for when they buy a tent? Just doing some research and trying to figure out if there are things I don't think about or have overlooked. Is it price, weight, maybe a certain feature? And even for fun is their a feature you wish they had that you...

    If you had limited ish vacation time to scout and hunt which would you rather do? Use all the vacation during season and make sure to have multiple spots/back up plans? or would you take some of that vacation and do a scouting trip the month before to potentially cross off some of these spots on...

    Exo Death hike, Invite only?

    As the title indicates, is the EXO death hike an invite only event for hunting influencers/big wigs? At least that's what it seems to me. I am looking at doing a large physical challenge/event and the death hike is right up my alley. logistically it wouldn't be difficult as I live in eastern...
