    Alone....what roksliders do you think could do it?

    I often hunt by myself. However being honest with myself, as much as people drive me nuts, I think I would go bonkers without being able to interact with my family and friends.

    What size Power Bank needed and is solar charging any good?

    When I'm doing a drop camp in Alaska I bring my Anker power bank. I have a GOAL Zero solar charger but the Anker saves weight and space and is all I need for my cel phone which I link to my Inreach. I keep my cel phone usually off throughout the day but definitely in airplane mode when it's...

    Lander and Jackson WY

    I'll second the Gunbarrel and Snake River Brewery in Jackson. Also try Pearl Street Bagels for a quick breakfast and coffee. I drove past the military museum in Dubois just over a year ago and didn't have time to stop but it's definitely on my list for a return trip. The National Bighorn...

    Fairbanks Uhaul Beware

    I just got back from Fairbanks myself and I couldn't believe how much the rental cars were if you could even find one. We kept the local Lyft drivers well employed while we were in town on this trip. It was also nearly impossible to get hotel rooms before and after our drop camp as many of the...

    Let’s see those gear rooms!

    I keep most of my gear in totes in the garage and have a standup dresser in the house to hold most of my hunting clothes. From summer through the hunting seasons I have piles in my garage. First pile of stuff comes from summer scouting, then moves onto my elk archery pile, then I have my...

    Critique my gear list

    My initial two cents from hunting drop camps for moose and caribou in Alaska. I've hunted north of Fairbanks, the Alaska Range, and the Talkeetna area. I have not hunted the Kotzebue area. I'll second Twincedars advice of hiking sticks and a foam pad (I take a crazy creek chair that folds up...

    Have we talked about female hunter under fire for posing with a kill with a, um, toy?

    I saw this photo elsewhere on the internet and was hoping it was fake. This just reconfirms my belief that most hunting shows are absurd.

    Recommend me a muzzle loader

    I have two Knight Big Horns with thumb hole stocks. The thing is lights out with TMZ 250’s and 777 pellets for deer. For me this set up works great for mule deer in Eastern, WA. I like the pellets because where I hunt can get really windy and the pellets make for easy reloading in a hurry. I...

    Alaska Outdoors TV

    Reviving an old thread, just sat down to watch the outdoor channel and I’m like crap that looks like Luke and Becca. I’ve only seen photos of them on this site and I haven’t been around a whole lot lately and quite frankly haven’t watched any hunting shows in the last couple years because I...

    Tape a barrel to keep out moisture?

    That pic with the 44 is from caribou camp this year. That’s one of those titanium cylinder and alloy frame 44 mags and I had been practicing at the range with my new Kenai holster before the trip and I believe the concussion snapped the screw holding the grips. The grips fell off as we were...

    New Exo Pack

    Yeah packs are kinda like shoes, always something better or shinier around the corner. After running Badlands packs and meat hauler frames for years I purchased the original Exo 3500 and have since picked up a couple different Stone Glacier packs. I love the Exo and the Stone Glacier’s and...

    Where to look for camper top for 2005 Tundra

    I’m gonna have to bite the bullet and save up for a new one. I just bought a Toyota Tacoma in cement and that color is only a year old and pretty limited so not a likely chance for me finding a used canopy.

    Tape a barrel to keep out moisture?

    I use duct tape, never had an issue with it and it’s something I always have extra of when I’m deep in the woods. I just tear off a small patch, I usually keep some extra wrapped around my Nalgene bottle for emergencies such as this. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    IT IS HERE! Favorite time of the year.

    Back at ya Randy! Go Huskies! My season started early, just came back from Alaska and took a nice caribou. I’m on cloud 9 and just located a gorgeous bull elk in time for archery season! This is starting out to be a great Fall! Good luck and stay safe everyone.

    Washingtonians! Please read and support I-1621! www.carry1621.org

    As a LEO I support this 100%. I’ll pass this along to my friends, however I wouldn’t hold my breath of this passing in this state. On a side note I have to question the signature requirements of our state (there was a link on the listed website). Ballpoint pens only, no gel pens. For those...

    Grizzlys and weather in Yellowstone

    If you’ve never been to Yellowstone, you’re going to love it. I’ll second the suggestion on carrying bear spray in the back country. Also it doesn’t hurt to hike in larger groups of three or more. The aforementioned bear fence has made me sleep a little better in Alaska. Depending on where...
