I had quite the experience the last couple of days. To preface this I was an Idaho resident for several years. I hunted the same area for elk for two years, this being my third but with a catch. I had to move out of state for a job opportunity.
Let me tell you, people treat you completely...
I have a used Gunner Kennel (Large) for $500. This includes straps and tie downs ($100) value.
Located in the Spokane/coeur d'alene area.
This thing is bulletproof, crash rated, and states its better at temp control for your dog.
Only reason I am selling is its too big for my 55lb wire...
I am curious what everyone's favorite pack or packs are and what are there purposes. I have different packs for different activites.
Hunting pack - Hands down Exo K3.
Backpacking - Depending on the season either Exo K3 or Osprey
EDC Pack - Still on the look out.
I had an idea for an Assault Pack / Bug out bag in my head. But first I wanted to make a regular pack to make sure I could do it. I think it turned out ok. Now I am putting in the work for a more intricate / versatile bag. I have attached some other projects I have done.
I made some general...
First off, holy cow. I should make a post about all the mistakes I have made, trial and error, and how challenging sewing can be. I wish someone could have forewarned me about a lot of the simple errors that could have been prevented. Then again maybe a simple sewing class would have helped. But...
This idea started a lot of my aspirations to get into sewing. I was seeing a lot of IFAK / MED POUCH / BLOW OUT KITS for sale but were not created how I would like to carry mine.

I am not a medical professional. I have been trained in certain medical procedures and have taken...
Right now I am feeding my Wire Haired Pointing Griffon Purina Puppy Pro... Was going to switch to the Purina Pro Plan 30/20 but I have been reading up on the Inukshuk seems like pretty good stuff.
Got me wondering, what is everyone feeding their dogs?
I have an Arcteryx Beta AR Large shell for $300 or best offer. I bought it thinking it would fit into my system but its too big for me. I have only worn it a hand full of times. Will upload pictures later if there is interest.

I have been slowly building my hunting gear collection. But there have been some times when I loved the gear so much I wanted to have multiple purposes so I purchased some solids. Sitka Timberline pants are a great example. It's like indestructible pajamas you can wear to more places than just...
Can anyone point me in the right direction for some great resources on learning the more detailed part of hunting elk. I know the basics but right now my issue is they are not talking. I have ideas on where they are bedding but my issue is the brush here is super thick. I thought about glassing...
Selling my Sitka Timberline Pants 32 R (Lead) w/ suspenders and knee pads. Bought beginning of this year. Only used for a portion of the season. Will update later with pics unless I get interest immediately in which I can PM or Text you pics.
There are no tears/holes/rips. In good condition...
Ok I know there are tons of posts asking people what kind of boot they should get. I also know that everyone's feet are going to be different.
But;
1. I am a procrastinator and I live in a small town with no major retailers to go into and try on boots.
2. I could have made the drive to go try on...
I am shopping for a training collar for my wire-haired pointing griffon for upland bird hunting. Curious what other people are using?

I am debating between the Large Gunner G1 or the Ruffland Kennel. I have the option to get the Gunner kennel for $500 or Ruffland for 350. Just seeing what everyone's opinions are if the Gunners are worth the extra money or not.
My dog will sleep in the kennel at night and it will be used...
I am curious about those of you with bird/shed/tracking/hunting dogs. How much time each day are you socializing, training, and exercising.
I am trying to set myself up for success. This will be my first hunting dog. I have previously worked with german shepherds for other working-type jobs...
I think I am sold on this breed.
Two questions. One is this breed prone to separation anxiety? Two how much time on average are you training your dog?
I'm going to properly train my dog, take it hunting/shed hunting/backpacking. My only concern is if they are left alone for periods of time...
So my Danner Tachyons are just not cutting it for winter which is no surprise. One of the most comfortable boots I have ever worn btw.
I do hunt sometimes in deep snow as well as do a lot of snowshoeing. Does anyone have any recommendations on a boot for winter?
I like the idea of the...
