Extended Warranty - Yes or No
Service advisor here who works at a GM store currently and have worked for several other brands. There is no choice in my opinion. KEEP THE WARRANTY. Generally most warranties have a 10% loss ratio, meaning if the warranty is sold to the dealer for $1000 dollars, the warranty company spends $900...- eddytheeagle

New Hunting Rig ?
Not even close to the truth there. I work at a GM store. Yes, there are slightly more mechanical problems with the 10 speed vs the 8 speed. The 8 speed shifts like pure dog crap if the shift points get out of whack. The 6 speed trannys are pieces of junk. Expect no more than 80k out of...- eddytheeagle

How bad is a 3/4 ton truck off road?
The injection pump issue is fixed, and a couple of weeks ago they even release redesigned fuel filters.- eddytheeagle

Winter camping cots
Might be a little too heavy (11 lbs) for what you’re looking for and maybe not available anymore, but my brother and I used these https://www.kelty.com/discovery-low-cot/ this year and they worked great. Lots of reviews about them being hard to set up, but if you have more than half a brain...- eddytheeagle

Big Agnes zipper question
I purchased a Big Agnes Lost Ranger 15 degree bag 4 years ago with a pad sleeve. I roll around a lot and fell off my last bag, but I’ve found myself much colder in that style bag. I used my dads kuiu 15d bag for first season Colorado this year. It was 20-25 at night and if I slept in anything...- eddytheeagle

Skunked in Colorado
I don't think OnX has anything to do with the location on your map. It's using the GPS that your phone is picking up. You might want to look at getting a different phone or just accept poor quality phone GPS you're relying on....- eddytheeagle

Locking up your gear while your in the back country
I would think it’s no different than keeping your rig on the street. It’s either going to happen or not, just don’t stress over something you can’t really control.- eddytheeagle

Too wet?
Either sex tag, and yes found tons of sign. Shit, tracks, rubs but no sheds. We(my brother and I) did a bunch of e-scouting and went to 6 areas that we pinpointed beforehand. The biggest problem we ran into was the mountains aren’t very steep and we could not find hardly any short to long range...- eddytheeagle

Too wet?
Went scouting this week in northern Colorado and found several flat meadows high on eastern slopes with very marshy vegetation. They were 5-25 acres in size and around 10,000 feet. I ran into a moose in one of them, but would I expect to find elk in something so wet during rifle season?- eddytheeagle

CO - Went Elk scouting *(early for my 1st rifle tag)
will be doing the same thing next weekend myself for a W of I25 unit, but won’t it be a tad irrelevant where the elk are now and in September compared to where they will be in first rifle? I’m looking to get acquainted with the unit, the terrain, glassing spots, etc. I know finding elk would be...- eddytheeagle
