    Single Bevel vs. Double Bevel

    Trailhead etiquette

    Hello. I am new to this forum, but have gone through the 140 pages of elk threads and the backpacking threads looking for any info that could help on an upcoming elk hunt. And I found a lot, thanks. My 27 year old son and myself(59) plan a backpack elk hunt into a colorado wilderness for two...
