    Hunting Solo by choice or circumstance

    My dad passed away, my brother moved away, one daughter started hugging trees and the other got married to her best hunting buddy. Now, if I want to be around people I go camping. If I want to be alone, I hunt. I always had trouble maintaining partners because I chose to hunt hard in hard places.

    Is this buck 201 1/2?

    I agree, velvet adds a bunch of inches. It is a really nice buck I would not hesitate. That said, if the deer pictured weighs 500 lbs, it might be a 200” deer.

    Home Solar System

    I feel like I will end up buying a system as you did. I can save a bit and become a bit more efficient by seeking out and purchasing individual pieces but I think I am going to take the more simple route and get a complete system. Does the system need to be installed this year to get the...

    Home Solar System

    I am going to need batteries. I have no idea how long it will take for the grid to expand to the new place. I also want to oversize, as you did to make it easier as I get older

    Home Solar System

    Minimum. I would like many more, as you say. I don’t want to outpace myself in the summer but I have to, to a degree, or the winters will be cold and dark.

    Home Solar System

    I think I have watched just about every video on YouTube. I learned the key words for the industry so I don’t sound too ignorant. I used a Toyo and wood prior to the fire.

    Home Solar System

    I have only seen the Tesla version. I like the concept but I am on a budget! true. Our consumption averages just over 300 per month so I hoped that during the long winter I might be able to get by with double the capacity and running a generator every other day or 2.

    Home Solar System

    Gents, Recently our home in Alaska ‘went to live in the country’. We have another property in Alaska that is completely off grid where we intend to start over. We want to incorporate a complete solar system to keep us energized. I think we NEED about 6 kw but I WANT about 10 or 12 kw. Does...

    Cabin is toasty

    UPDATE: We lost the cabin and everything in it. We lost a Toyota 4 runner, snow machine, snow dog, 4 wheeler and tons of miscellaneous items. We gained faith in the humanitarian system. Our insurance company, USAA, handled our claims very quickly, professionally and with great honor and...

    Bill to charge foreigners more at National Parks

    2001. While visiting the Winter Palace in St Petersburg, I was astounded to hear the teller request the same number of rubles from every person in front of me, only to quadruple the fee when I approached. I expressed concern that, as a foreigner I was being charged more. She said I was NOT...

    Cabin is toasty

    Bear Creek fire just north of Healy, AK. We were not there when the fire broke out. Neighbors sent a pic yesterday saying it was still up. This morning was different. Several friends have lost more and have less to draw from. My heart goes out to them. Thanks for the thoughts.
