Replacement for Meindl Alaskan Hunters
I’m interested in this, as I have a pair of meindls I need to replace. I bought them in 2011 from cabelas. My holdup is not being able to try them on before purchasing. What are the quality issues you know/heard about?- homestead

Hunting trips and hunting partners
Until a couple weeks ago, I’d never done a solo hunt out of state. I asked four buddies, and none could go, or wanted to go. In the end, I’m grateful I was solo. Best experience of my life. Will be doing more solo hunts in the future.- homestead

Montana this year. With occasional high winds, I was hesitant to have a fire, so the candle came in damn handy.- homestead

Caving
Years ago, I worked peripherally in the coal mine industry. Was in mines a handful of times. That was probably enough caving for me.- homestead

How do the water rights work? Are they attached to the property? The person? Are these water rights permanent, or do they need to be renewed on a continual basis? Are there financial costs? Obligations for upkeep of ditches/dams, etc...? I really appreciate all the responses, especially...- homestead

Another question for the ranch/ farm crowd. Horses. I understand they are used as they were intended, OUT WEST. But what all are they raised for? General purpose ranch horse? Racing? I stress the OUT WEST, because back east, horses eat money and shit work. Just my opinion.- homestead

I’m in my second year of buying points, so yes. This bear hunt was also a feeling out adventure for other hunts. That, and the fact that I am quite smitten with your state after this trip. You folks have one hell of a place. I’m sure like any place, it has its issues and complications, but...- homestead

In regards to the irrigation, it’s just so different from here in PA. It makes me wonder about the agriculture out west before it came along. Namely, have farmers changed the crops they plant because they can irrigate? Has farm/ranch size changed in connection with the ability to irrigate...- homestead

A question for ranchers/farmers- Irrigation. How long has irrigation been used out west? What's the cost of installing and maintaining these systems? Are these supplied by wells, or is water delivered and stored?- homestead
