    Let’s see them camps!

    Packed a 40 down quilt to go over my bag, which worked great, but glassing in the morning with frozen boots was chilly. Tried the toe warmers and not enough heat, so next time if no fire I'll try the insole warmers for glassing. When moving, feet were fine. Single wall tarptent dipole 2 is...

    Compact rifle opinions

    May consider Kimber Hunter or Mountain Ascent rifles if like light. Mine and my buddy's all shoot sub moa with factory ammo and come in at about 5.5lbs. Not sure prices now, but the Hunter used to be very reasonable for what you get.

    Why poaching fines so low?

    Hi All, Read this morning of this big poaching bust yet only $23k in fines. Heck, that’s way cheaper than one would pay for landowner/auction/etc tags to access all those animals. The article doesn’t have much detail but what am I missing here? Why not bigger fines...

    Newest US Senate Land Sale Amendment

    This is a good one to share with our (R) elected officials to help them grasp that this is not a (D) thing and will not end well for (R's) if they choose to die on this hill or make it a long term platform push.

    Newest US Senate Land Sale Amendment

    I recommend reiterating again and again the threat that Sen. Daines and Sheehy (for MT folk) will NOT be reelected by Montanans if they support or vote for the sale of public lands in this Budget Bill or in the future. It would so clearly go against our values. We can't rely on a politician's...

    Federal Land Sales for Affordable Housing?

    Timing was impeccable when I got a response email from Senator Sheehy's office professing his undying loyalty to public lands, hunting, access, etc...then a day later the House decides to sell off public lands. Perfect opportunity to send a reply message calling him out if he stands by his...

    Achilles tendinitis brace/sleeves for hiking

    I feel for you as I’ve been dealing with it for about 5 years. Universal pro recommendation is always those exercises Coop showed, as most important, then stretching. I recommend NOT doing the isometric exercises barefoot as it seems to have strained some tiny muscles in my left arch too much...

    Antelope...Lets See Them!!!

    MT 2024. Got on stalks every day but I waited a few weeks to avoid the crowds and they had gotten mighty skittish. Eventually filled my buck and doe tags, but wasn't as "easy" as drive to within 150yds, lay the rifle on the hood and shoot. Some places, maybe but not where I was in MT. I...

    Horse owners

    OP - Very good questions indeed, especially as it relates to a young daughter. While I own horses and mules and love it, specifically regarding your question, a good friend of mine's daughter started taking english lessons when she was about 10yo and bought their first horse at about 12-13, so...

    That's a heck of a lot of trail clearing they've got on the docket. Good for them!! Might try to get up to one with a buddy who's up there.

    Let's talk base layers: FL merino wool vs Kuiu Pelotons

    I started with the FL merino, which I still like, but it doesn't take a lot for me to sweat if I'm exercising, even on the very cold days. I was introduced to the Brynje mesh baselayers (https://www.brynjeusa.com/product/unisex-t-shirt-inlay/) though reading of how much the founder of...
