    Shoutout to Canyon Coolers

    Wanted to take a minute to give a huge shout out and thank you to Canyon Coolers. I won this cooler 2 years ago as first prize for the 2019 Rokslide film contest, I had it shipped to my PO box in Washington and before I could grab it Charlie one niner hit the scene and the borders closed leaving...

    Trapper nelson bear

    Got my 2020 spring bear back from the taxidermist a while back and just realized I never posted it here. Opted to get the hide soft tanned and the head mounted, no felt backing. Shout out to Dan Hastings at Western Taxidermy, excellent communication and he understood exactly what I wanted to do...

    Old warrior

    Tough season so far, still haven't come to full draw and not seeing as much sign as I typically would expect. Went out a couple weeks ago and managed to run into a good size dirty blonde sow with a jet black yearling cub in pretty thick brush. I was solo with nothing but my bow and she initially...

    Pocket tabs on longhunter lid

    I always loved the contour of the longhunter lid and often thought it would be the perfect lid for me if only it had pocket attachment tabs like the guide lid. Got my hands on some webbing that was a decent enough match and sewed some on last night, not 100% straight and the stitching isn't...

    Carrying home the groceries

    My friend Brad is 57. He still has crazy endurance in the mountains but he knows his body isn't quite what it used to be and that setting himself up for an early season solo pack out is both unethical and irresponsible at this stage in the game. I'm a young able bodied man and was always taught...

    2020 archery spring bear video

    Finally got a chance to put together some footage from my 2020 spring bear. Smallest bear I've ever killed but by far the toughest physically and ironically the most delicious...not exactly sure how much stock I put into the whole adrenaline dump = "gamey" theory after sampling this bear. Wish I...

    The 40 minute season

    So last season I had gone out a few times in April but was too early. I went out again with my son on May long weekend (3rd weekend in may, unofficial Canadian bear hunting holiday ;)) and found no bears but loads of one to two week old sign. We went out again in June and I tagged my spring bear...

    Sweet & sour bear

    Conducted an experiment on the weekend and the results were favorable enough to share with you guys...turned out downright delicious actually. Ingredients: 1x bear round roast, could substitute almost any cut of whole muscle meat, tenderloin would be amazing. 1/2 white onion 1/2 red bell...

    What have I done?

    So I went to see my friend Tony today. I wanted to make a DIY bear claw necklace and wasn't sure what type of epoxy to use for bone, I had called to ask him last week because he builds custom trad bows and often does bone inlays...figured he would know what works best. He told me to swing by on...

    "Huffing" in bears

    Thought I would put together a quick video describing what a huff is and how to use it. Spring bear is a great time to put this to work, wanted to get this out there for anyone planning on trying to get a bear with their bow this spring. Any questions feel free to ask, I wanted to keep things...

    Kifaru lid on slumberjack bounty 2.0

    I usually have my son tagging along with me which means I'm carrying some extra gear whenever he's along. Had been wondering if I could run a kifaru lid on my slumberjack bounty 2.0 and figured the only way to find out was to try...figured I would post this up so other people know it's a pretty...

    Bowhunting now legal in Russia

    Hmmm might just be time to make a pilgrimage to the motherland and get myself a Kamchatka brown bear! Nice to see other countries increasing hunting rights/opportunities instead of stripping them away...

    3/4 sleeping pads

    Looks like I either won the idiot of the week award or I may just be on to something. :LOL: Got a great deal (or so I thought) on a BNIB neoair xlite on craigslist yesterday then got home and realized it's a size small...a whopping 4ft of pad for a just under 6' guy. Was about to call the guy...

    Patagonia (please read)

    Hey guys, Have been seeing lots of mentions of Patagonia in the clothing section and seeing lots in the classifieds. They undeniably do make high quality mountaineering gear and I can understand why some people would choose to wear their clothing. That said I get prorated on their gear through...

    Offseason gear upgrades

    Happy 2020, hope it's treated you all well so far. This is the time of year when I start taking stock of what worked this season and what didn't, what stays in the pack and what gets an upgrade. Had always seen packable wood stoves as nothing but a luxury item, had some cold, wet hunts this...

    FL Kiln vs icebreaker 200

    Happy new year fellas! So I'm finally starting to see the value in the higher end hunting gear and slowly starting to upgrade my kit this year. Picked up an uncompahgre during the gravy boat sale and loved it, good customer service so far as well. I'm primarily run & gun (make that bow)...

    What frame is this?

    Can anyone ID this frame? My buddy lent it to me to reverse engineer a load hauler for my son but he bought it used and knows next to nothing about it. Figured I would post it up on here and see if any of the kifaru heads can tell me what I'm working with. First gen duplex? Was planning on...
