    Upgrade or punt 300wby

    Hey all, I’ve got an elk hunt in October (for lead time reference) that id like to take my older 300wby on. My only hesitation is that it’s a heavy sob, and this will be a ton of big mountain hiking. The gun is great, total shooter. I ordered a peak 44 black tooth stock the day I got the...

    Concrete tarp for cold weather?

    Been trying to get some concrete work done mid winter (I give up, thanks snow), and a thought occurred to me, would an insulated concrete tarp help with insulation when camping in cold weather? For reference, i am specifically thinking about buying an insulated concrete tarp to drape over my...

    5 degree bag in 60 degree weather

    Howdy everyone, After learning my “10 degree” north face bag is actually only comfortably rated to 22, and heavy as hell, I’m ready to take the leap to a down WM bag. Coldest temps I’ll likely encounter are in the low teens. I’ve all but ordered a sequoia (5 degree semi rec) given that it...

    Tire pressures on long trips on/offroad

    Hey all, I have a hunt coming up where I spend hours on the freeway then ~2 hours on dirt. I typically inflate tires to ~35psi for my daily driving (f150) on the highway. I’ll be towing a ranger on a trailer out to the hunting grounds, and the road is bumpy and rocky. Is it a good idea to...

    Vest vs backpack

    I have spent a few days out looking for chukar, and have been using a pheasant vest. Based on how my back feels today, it’s time to change it up. I don’t really understand why upland guys swear by using a vest over a backpack. My scouting backpack has the little pockets on the hip belt that I...
