Blow up / air filled tents, who's got one?
There are grounds tents with the same design as the Opus, but made by other manufacturers. It's something you would want to see in person. There are some good ones and some cheap ones that aren't. If you are checking one out check the material between the air poles for slack. You want it to...- Simeod

Blow up / air filled tents, who's got one?
I have an Air Opus 4 and have had it since 2016. It is like a popup camper trailer, but the upper portion is an air tent. I can't speak to WY winds, but 30 mph sustained with 45 mph wasn't a problem. The biggest advantage we have realized with an air tent is that it stretches the fabric and...- Simeod

Family Trip to Alaska - Let’s Talk
I have too agree with all the above that your itinerary is very ambitious. I would suggest limiting your travel to Denali and the Kenai peninsula. The reason I say that is due to the excessive amount of time you would be spending on the road and how little time you would actually be able to...- Simeod

New 30-06. Thinking about trying copper.
Another vote for the Barnes 150 TTSX. My wife, son, and father in-law all took mule deer last season and I was very impressed with the performance. All 3 died within view of the point of impact. 50' or less. Excellent expansion and very good accuracy. It was our first experience with all...- Simeod

UNIT 9 AZ LATE RIFLE HUNT
Some general tips for unit 9. When e-scouting, look for roads that are white or yellow white. These are gravelled roads and will give you the best access, especially if there is any moisture. The red brown roads are natural dirt and will get slick and rutted when wet. There will be lots of... -

Unexpected Arizona Early 12AW hunt.
Some closing thoughts and a photo of the almost finished euro mounts. This was the first time using all copper bullets for this trip, .30-06 150g Barnes TTS-X. I'm sold. Incredible performance on all three shots. Every deer was visible from the point of impact. Snap caps are a great... -

Unexpected Arizona Early 12AW hunt.
Well this brings this hunt to a close. I did not fill my tag, but have no regrets. This hunt was everything I hoped for. My wife, son, and father in-law tagged out and that was all I truly wanted. It has been an incredible adventure with some stumbling blocks early, but it all worked out...
