Horseback hunting
Go trail riding with your horse contacts as often as you can. To me any less than an hour is a waste of time unless I'm schooling a young horse. Repetition is more important than duration in terms of "getting in riding shape" Best practices to prepare for Horseback hunting: Figure out what... -

Hunting Medium This Fall (Hunting Hard Pending)
On the meds, I found when my partner had a Hip replacement that staying ahead of the pain curve was important. a written pill plan with times and cell phone alarms was key. You are probably well past that point by now. One thing i learned though is a combo of Ibuprofen and Tylenol either...- 2rocky

Alaknak tent Side poles- how to make them collapsible?
Well I did it. Getting the math right so the broken down poles were equal distance took me one sacrifice pole. Turns out I needed to add 1/4 of the sleeve length to the other end halfway measurement. For my poles it ended up being 26.5 inches. The poles seemed to be just 1/2 inch emt. I used...- 2rocky

Alaknak tent Side poles- how to make them collapsible?
I could see an annual Elk Camp with pre made wall tent poles. This is pretty common in places I've been. I've ordered extra side poles from Cabelas to experiment on. Tried JB weld, long nuts and a short section of threaded rod and was not happy.- 2rocky

Alaknak tent Side poles- how to make them collapsible?
The outside dimension is .70 on the poles and I think the ID on 3/4 emt is .75-.80. I’ve heard suggestions to put shrink wrap over the smaller piece as a shim. I’ll try one piece before I commit to more.- 2rocky

Alaknak tent Side poles- how to make them collapsible?
As I prepare my camp for packing in on horseback, I'm evaluating how to make things more packable. One aspect that I am looking to improve is making the side wall poles for my Alaknak 12x12 tent more compact for pack horse travel. I've noticed that the poles fit inside a 3/4" pvc pipe so I am...- 2rocky
