    Ford 7.3 gas opinions

    TFL Trucks boasts about the 7.3 and after riding in one, it delivers. My hunting buddy has one and it does 65 (and faster) up the passes here in CO towing 35' camper. Grab a spare spark plug wire. We had one go out on a trip and there was only one at the dealership. A quick search and this...

    Colorado trails

    cotrex app. Free app from the state with all the (off)roads and what is allowed on them and when. That said, they sometimes close roads early or late based on conditions.

    Puffy? Synthetic, warm, not crazy expensive?

    Go get one right now then, they appear to be in stock. Although, at $409 they must have bought other down coats to disassemble for the feathers.

    Mystery Ranch Back Strap Input?

    I use mine for training, but I think you could put the lid on at the same time. Use the clips to the frame and then hold it down with the back strap on the way up. On the way down you might have to get creative so it is not flopping around. Note the ends on the attachment straps are not sewn...

    Utah Hunt expo -SMH

    I went to Costco today and as I pulled in, I saw a pair of jeans and a hat walking to the entrance. I knew that could mean only one thing... Someone was not following hunter code and was wearing camo to a store! I parked immediately and ran inside to confront this person. How dare they...

    Thoughts on using a military surplus ruck sack as a first pack until I can save up for a high quality/value pack for Western Big Game hunting?

    When I was younger I would hike out to get a frame pack for hauling elk. Go to thrift stores and garage sales and buy a cheap external frame pack. Pull the bag off of it and keep it in the truck. You can modify it to fit you and your needs, new belt or shoulder straps are cheap. After a kill...

    Equipment questions

    Here is a holster built for that pack if you were planning on carrying a gun. https://www.ivoryholsters.com/product/emg-pack-holster/ With different clips it can be run on other packs as well. Fits my Mystery Ranch just fine. Rumor has it an EMG logo run is in the works!

    Equipment questions

    What can borrow? Do you know a guy with extra/old (to them old) gear that you can use? I have borrowed a rifle and a pack before. I also loaned out my rifle a few times.

    Equipment questions

    Found this today on Craigslist, no affiliation. https://denver.craigslist.org/spo/d/denver-kuiu-pro-lt-7000-pack-system/7432404877.html You can get away with any hiking backpack as suggested, but the load hauling capability of a hunting pack is hard to beat. I just switched from a small...

    Tow/Recovery straps.

    And conversely, don't yank with a tow strap or chains. They are no designed for that. I too watch Matt's Offroad Recovery, I want a kinetic rope now.

    Anyone considering the F150 Electric?

    Here are two interesting videos on electric vehicles. First is a Tesla keeping you warm in the cold. The second is a about the Ford. Both are a bit nerdy, but that's how I roll. An electric truck would do 99% of what I would use it for here in CO, and for the price of the Ford, I'd consider...

    Puffy? Synthetic, warm, not crazy expensive?

    For the real big guys here, check out Pnuma. I saw them at The Total Archery Challenge, they make REAL BIG sizes, 3XL-T jackets and pants, and pants in 36X38!! 38 inch inseam! That said, I have none of their products, but I love their camo pattern and that they carry tall sizes as I have very...
