I've been using my uninsulated Beartooths for the past three years for all weather conditions. But my feet do get cold when it gets down into the teens, especially when there is snow. I will use my pac boots but for longer hikes they are just heavy. Do you guys think sizing up and getting a...
Whitefish, seared in olive oil, then sautéed in butter with a bunch of spices. Pulled the fish. Added white wine and sour cream to the butter for a sauce. Deadly good. Whitefish can compete with the best of them. And nobody here wants to catch them.
We deep fry them as well and make french...
I've had dogs all my life. They have been my fishing, hiking and mountain biking companions. I love dogs. My last one passed almost two years ago. I love the freedom of not having one but my wife has got the itch. I told her that if we get one I want to train it to hunt. I've never hunted...
Seeing if anyone is reloading 308 with this powder. I played around with reloading the 308 a couple years ago and then all the silliness hit. Well, I'm back at load development and am looking for a bit of guidance. My gun was very happy at 41.5grains with a 168 grain bullet. Looking at the...
I believe some of you have purchased things like optics from Japanese sellers. I'm looking into the nikon ed50 with a 27x lens. It can be had for around $450. But I raley use ebay, nevermind buying from overseas. All the listings mention possible additional taxes, brokerage fees etc. Does...
As we get more and more into wildlife photography we are wondering what we should be using for lenses, and not go broke. Our most used lense right now is a tamaron 150-600mm with an adapter for our nikon z6. It takes great pics. But 99% of the time it is used at 600mm. I have also been using...
So one of the legs on my benro tripod pulled out completely today. The stop failed. I took a functioning leg apart to see what was going on. The good leg had a thin plastic shim. The one that failed did not. I did a temporary fix by making a shim from duct tape. But that will not work long...
I just realized that I could add an extender to my 88. Are any of you using one and what are the pluses and minuses? I am using my scope for the range and digiscoping, in addition to hunting. In particular I was wondering if it would be very helpful to have for photographing wildlife. Thank...
Hi guys. I have been using a kowa 883 this season. Absolutely love the thing. The reason for going with this scope was that it was to serve multiple purposes; range duty, hunting and photography. It has checked off all the boxes, except for one. Overall weight. When I include my tripod...
As with all gear, the choices are dizzying. I have a cheap pair of Mountain Smiths that I have use for years. Made of aluminum, twist lock, shock absorbing and weigh 20 ounces or so for the pair. I would like to get a new pair of sticks for both me and my wife. I prefer the cam lock over the...
Looking for some advice from folks that have a lot more experience with this than me. With my first season in full swing, I am starting to understand the system a bit better. Now I am thinking about what to focus on next year when it is time to go for tags again.
General tags are...
Regarding the preset messages, any way to see on your inreach device (I have the 66i) what your preset messages are? Or can it be only seen from a desktop?
Ya, you read it right, I am looking for some good whitefish recipes. I have smoked them and fried them whole. Looking to get more creative. I am going to pickle some as well. I can't be the only guy that thinks they taste good :) Thanks. Pete
She has a 6.5 woman's shoe size. Does anyone on the planet make one small enough? We went to Schnees but their men's 5 is too big. We called Kennetrek, but their customer service is remote so they were no help. I emailed Hoffman's but never heard back. I suspect all of them are probably...
Has anyone tried anything like this on the hip belts of their packs? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072TSZCHG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Thinking it will work great with my SG pack. At $17 for two, it would be a rippin' deal.
