    Snow tires- Lion hunting

    There you have it. Shut the thread. Squamish wins. Aside from Russia proven. I’d go BFG AT all day. I actually do. We live on a hill that is ice for 4 months of the year and that is what we run. No better grip we’ve found in the snow either. I’ve used a bunch of tires on various rigs and this...

    three day trip- under 30 lbs with food and water :)

    …and close to home. Maybe I’ll try it behind the house if it ever gets cold here again. 🙄 Thanks haus.

    three day trip- under 30 lbs with food and water :)

    I agree it would lower the effective rating of the sleep system in theory. I was wondering if you or anyone else had any experience with it and if there were any drawbacks. My thought is you’re already packing the puffies so why bother with the quilt. You answered why it worked for you but I...

    three day trip- under 30 lbs with food and water :)

    I have a question for the warden, or anybody with experience. Instead of the quilt, have you ever used a puffy jacket and pants to supplement a light weight sleeping bag? Should work just fine, my only concern would be my feet. I’m likely already carrying the pants and jacket. I’d try the quilt...

    three day trip- under 30 lbs with food and water :)

    Warden, you are inspiring when it comes to weight consciousness. I am reevaluating my sleep system this winter and you may have swayed me back to the bag/quilt combo since you say you were cozy. For the life of me I couldn’t figure out why you were taking a VHS tape in your weigh in photo...

    Skinny legs

    You could always pop a couple grommets in your cuffs and use some cord to hold your pants down. I agree gaiters are rarely necessary. I’ve done and still do a fair bit of mountaineering and I’ve walked through thigh deep snow for a long ways, a lot, and not needed gaiters. Seems like they have a...

    Skinny legs

    I also look like I’m riding a chicken. I have had good luck wi OR from mountaineering days. Maybe have some elastic cord fitted to the top.

    Alaska side arm?

    I’m with Antares. S&W 329 PD revolver. The problem with the extra ammo in a 10mm is ammo is heavy. YMMV

    Backpack holster

    I really like simply rugged Cattleman holster on my Kuiu Pack. Rides nice, I have a simple plain one for my 44 but you can get fancy as well good quality made in America. I have their pancake holster as well for a more secure carry when needed.

    Friendly reminder to those heading out this fall to hunt....

    I checked! And my check engine light is still on! So I’m good! Seriously though, truck is going in next week for a once over and a few issues I’ve noticed over the summer. But not the CEL. It will stay on forever. I’m trying to outlast it. Kind of like the seat belt light...

    Thoughts on Kuiu Pro vs Mystery Ranch?

    I certainly hate to push you to a bigger bag, but the 4000 LT is lighter and cheaper than the 2300. I am a firm believer that if you have the space you’ll use it, so I bought the 2300 and in hindsight I wish I bought the 4000 LT. I think the 4000 LT can be compressed beyond 2300, you just have...

    light weight threaded hunting rifle sub $1200

    Also curious. Dlip, why no Tikka super light if shopping based on weight?

    Best non custom mountain rifle

    I don’t disagree with the logic stated here but I will point out the Tikka Superlite in 308 weighs in just under 6 pounds naked. I can’t explain why they would advertise it heavier on their own site but weighed it at the store, because I’ve been nerding out on gun weights lately. What did the...

    My Montana 2021 spring bear hunt

    Gravellies are famous for grizzlies. Seen quite a bit in there over the years. Heard tell that they relocate problem bears to there. I ride moto through there in the summer fairly often and used to camp up there until I found a griz trap that I assumed the forest service or some biologist set...
