    Kifaru/tipi users

    has been a long time since I've been on RokSlide. the other day I got involved in a chat on Bowsite and decided to take it hear also for those it might benefit. I have had a 6 person Kifaru tipi for at least 10 years now. When I first got it I contacted Kifaru with the liner dimensions...

    Broke my katadyn hiker pro. Looking for suggestions on new filter.

    after using a pump filter for years I switched this year to a Sawyer gravity feed. granted, most of my sheep/caribou hunts are of a base camp style but the ease of hanging a bag of water in a tree is so much nicer than kneeling at a creek and pumping. the biggest plus is that the filter, dirty...

    What spotter to get for packing out ?

    everyone always forgets to include KOWA. when I bought a scope I had a Zeiss, Swarvo, Leica, and Kowa side by side. my eye could not see that much of a difference between them. I went with the KOWA because it was lighter and shorter, not because it was a grand less than the others...

    if you want to start them on something other than 'wheels', check out BlackRhino bows. they make great youth longbows that they will take back in trade as they grow and need a heavier bow...

    herd Raspberry Island is small compared to Kodiak Island. Maybe 15 miles in overall length, at it's widest 7 miles. Last year some hunters counted the main elk herd going over a ridge single file. They counted 156 elk. There is a smaller group, 25-30 elk, on the east end on Native...
