3/4 ton 4x4 recommendations
I have a bit of experience. I have a 2025 GMC 2500 duramax, and have driven both a gasser and powerstroke new Fords in the last couple months for work. The ride of the fords is way rougher. Aside from trim levels between them, flip a coin. They all have issues or don't. Get one, fix it if it...- Bambistew

Moose 25
I'm blown away that people cross that river on a fourwheeler. Someone died there a few years back and I think a couple others have died there in the last 10-15 years. It seems to eat a few machines every year. Those moose buggies are the only way I'd even consider crossing it. What a great...- Bambistew

Looking forward the rest of the story. We saw you guys on the road on the way home... Should have stopped and said hi, but I wasn't 100% it was you until later.- Bambistew

That's some amazing country. Wow. Congrats on the deer. -
Jumpstarter for a Duramax
The research I did led me down the path to this one as well. A bit nervous leaving the new truck in -20 temps for a few days going on a cabin trip this winter. probably take the jumper to the cabin to keep it warm just in case, if anything I can charge my phone to call a tow truck.- Bambistew

New Truck MSRP discounts right now??
Does that include taxes? Assuming diesel? That seems really high to me. I had quotes on base model Denali and AT4s for for mid/high 70s. I would definitely shop around if that's the local price on an SLE. Laura has duramax SLEs for upper 60s and gassers under 60. They deliver too! A GM...- Bambistew

New Truck MSRP discounts right now??
That part about making the most and us saving the most comes into play, as does knowing the market and what is selling fast or not. Some of the model/trims I looked at for nearly all dealers had very little markdowns because they knew they could list them for retail. Other models had deep...- Bambistew

New Truck MSRP discounts right now??
I just bought a 2500 GMC AT4 a month ago. Flew to ID and drove it home, saved ~9% off MSRP. I felt like it was a good deal. Local dealers here were not moving off MSRP for same truck. I shopped for a almost a year before I pulled the trigger. There are good deals to be had now, but you have to...- Bambistew

New Road In Alaska
What did I contradict? Didn’t take your side so I’m wrong? Easy to take a stand when you have unlimited road access in MT and 10s of 1000s of public land accessible from said roads. Lots of whining by lessor 48ers about landlocked public lands. Pretty similar situation here just locked out by...- Bambistew

New Road In Alaska
So much to consider on both sides of this. It always seems to be either an all or nothing option. The road corridor was specifically set aside at statehood to provide access to this mining district, with was well known about over 70 years ago. A right-of-way was established through a small part...- Bambistew

How many bullets for backpack elk hunt?
I used to take 1o total, now I take 4 in the rifle mag, and 10 extra. Thats for 2 people sharing a rifle and a 10 day backpack hunt... The most we've needed is 8. haha, and we killed 2 animals on that trip. But I'll tell you the anxiety kicked in when I saw the 2 left after the final mag load. -

What do you think about this puffy?
Buy it, you're not out much if you don't think it performs. have a link? I might buy one. :) I really have no idea what a performance standard is for a synthetic jacket though. THey're plastic they keep you warm, breath and dry out fast. I easily have half a dozen puffy jackets or more, and...- Bambistew
