    Seth Bodnar - independent US Senate candidate

    The majority of the podcast covers very well the "why" I'd sure prefer an independent who supports public lands and conservation, plus other common sense items where normally each senator must toe the party line. Like any step in a new direction, one can not expect it to be perfect from the...

    Seth Bodnar - independent US Senate candidate

    Very good points as who's to say that money will not simply control an independent as the source of their funding to keep themselves in office. However, considering how dysfunctional the current system is, I sure am will to try almost anything different. Randy and Seth's comments about...

    Seth Bodnar - independent US Senate candidate

    As a die hard member of the choir welcoming the value and need of something other than the dysfunctional 2 party system, @Big Fin, did you guys talk any more maybe offline about what it really will take for him to get elected? For some of us, the "why" an Independent is so important was...

    How many guys using Michelin LTX on your hunting rig? Experience?

    Hi All, Any issues or limitations you've found and if so in what conditions? Have you had any flats? Thanks, s

    Let’s see them camps!

    Found a dry island which thankfully was out of the mosquito zone. Sure showed how much more elevation and miles my legs need to get into hunting shape. Wasn't the ideal tent (protrail li) for being exposed, as it's a bit of a sail, but luckily wind stayed low. In the trees it's awesome and light.

    3/4 ton 4x4 recommendations

    Agree with Nick87 and would suggest gasser. Diesel is not needed for those weights, plus super complicated and expensive to maintain. Plus, diesel is so much heavier it'll be a stiffer, rougher ride which people often forget compared to a 3/4 ton gasser, not to mention you lose the payload...

    Rear locker decisions..

    Is the locker for snow traction or are you actually rock crawling ? If rock crawling to get to access points, you're on brutal enough roads that maybe a truck is not the best option. If it's for snow traction, I'd recommend a higher priority is the ability to put chains on up front, which...

    Base camp tent

    While normally I'd recommend a Kodiak Canvas, having owned one and previously (sold it) a side by side, it's very heavy and a big packed size taking up your small amount of cargo space in a sxs. Some guys like the Seek Outside Courthouse, which imagine you could get the liner for a floor...

    Boot delima

    Plenty of great advice above. I've found: 1. Fit - Most important is to find a brand that fits your specific foot best. DO NOT rely on online guys/marketing hype as everyone's feet and shoe fit are VERY different. There are lots of very high quality brands, so take the time to try on enough...

    Kuiu attack pants

    I'm a rare one who pretty much never wears my attacks hunting anymore. They're super comfortable, but were way too hot for me in MT Sept archery. For rifle season in snow I like having even a little more protection in the butt and knees from water intrusion. That all said, my buddies who...

    Spotting scope tripod

    For a light weight tripod that's great for binos and still works for my big Kowa 88 spotter, I use the Slik CF 634. The guys at S and S Archery suggested I try it out for my spotter and worked fine. Sure, a bigger, heavier one will be more stable, but for when I'm backpacking I valued lighter...

    Frank Church Wilderness to allow chain saws......

    Interesting article and how one of the people said that crosscut are as fast as a chainsaw. Even if that is so, in the hands of an expert, I'm guessing the barrier for entry is far lower with a chainsaw, as it's something most outdoorsmen have and know how to use at some proficiency level...

    Fitting Chains on Front

    or when I stopped my truck, and after a second or two started to slide. Realized at that moment I shouldn't have been lazy about putting on chains. Was just a packed snow forest road in November, without even being super icy. Luckily learned my lesson without going over the edge.

    Fitting Chains on Front

    Yeah, I so rarely use chains, but for the safety/comfort factor I'm going to invest in the offset wheels again to allow real chains up front. I admit that I'm a bit of a wuss when it comes to losing traction on those off camber forest road turns in a 5-8k lb truck.

    Fitting Chains on Front

    Old thread, but dealing with same issue. How many miles/conditions have you driven on those light front chains? Have they held up as they would allow a lesser offset if I get new offset wheels again. That worked on my last truck but would rather not poke my tires out too far. Thx
