Weird title I know. On my upcoming trip I will have the opportunity to fly fish some deeper water then I am used to. I am comfortable in typical water 1'-6' with about anything I want to throw. 10'-20' I have never done. I am considering taking a spinning rod because the middle of nowhere...

If you have followed some of my post you may know that I have hunting leases in Potter County PA around Ulysses. We have the opportunity to add another farm that is up against what we have. So I am putting feelers out there to see if there is...
So my granddaughter was on vacation with my son-n-laws non hunting family. (My daughter and son n law hunt) They took her somewhere that allowed her to pet and feed deer. Not bad in itself but this quickly lead to some deer loving comments and thoughts that seamed to be headed in a direction I...
Starting this now since you don't just show up. The fun part is later. Now is the work.
Saturday starts the full load out hiking. Final pack weight just shy of 45lbs. Not quite where I wanted to be. After a couple weeks of hiking I may see what I can do without and if anything moves from...
With Alaska in 2 months I have been mulling over what gun to take. The Ruger Alaskan in 338 win mag has been the staple. Not a great deal of fun to shoot but I shoot it well. And other then ash marks it has been indestructible. Since this is primarily a Caribou hunt and not moose I bought a...
I have been investigating using trip wires with alarms to place around meat or late day kills in AK for bear protection. Knowing from a distance something is messing with things would be helpful besides scaring them off. I am not a fan of the 209 primer or 12gauge ones unless its in front of...
What's your ideal pack weight going in on a pack trip ? If you want to go further break it down. I will at some point. I have some options as far as what I choose to put in that I own. 1 member of our party is at 26lbs with no food. Another is at 46lbs with no food. The 46lb guy is working...
So I searched threads and didn't find exactly anything that answers this. I do not where hearing aids. I went and got tested and they told me a hearing aid wont help since its inner ear. But I am pretty sick of not hearing. If there is any ambient noise I am done. Family at a restaurant...
It is being reported that Turo has now prohibited the Haul rd. This after UHaul announced they will enforce their existing policy against Haul rd use. Choices are getting limited.
One of the guys at work just picked this up for $10 at a garage sale. He couldn't figure out make. Came with bullets which he said are large. I didn't see it yet. Any idea
Has anyone ever had them set a trip up for them? What was your take? At first glance it appears like a decent option. Appears similar to 60".
I am confused about what he does. It doesn't appear he still owns it. But he is talking a big game offering trips to guys with himself or to set...
I have a 6.5 CM I want to shoot longer range with it say 800-900 yds. But be able to hand to a kid and have them use it just fine at shorter ranges. Here is my thoughts and the parameters I have in my head:
max min to be 5x
at least 16x min max?
Not a "busy" scope reticle wise because a kid...
Who has walked the Tundra and dealt with tussocks and hippy heads? What is your go to foot wear. Do you thinks its easy or horrible. Any tips?
My personal experience is it sucks. I can push through it. I enjoy where its at. Not doing it. I have used Muck boots, waders and leather...
What's everyone else doing for water purification? The last couple trips I have been using the UV water bottles. I like the fact that I simply dip it in the creek. Hit the button. And a minute later have drinkable water. No messing with anything. I feel a little like gen z carrying a...

Anyone else watch this last evening? Wasn't to bad. Might need to get a new technical advisor for some of the tactical scenes. But overall not a bad watch. Better then the typical Sunday evening shows
Proffesional work environment here. When I moved front by reception the animals moved to the shop. What's your work office look like?
Native carving one of my favorite
Who all is headed North to Alaska fishing this year? 1st time ? Or general area and why do you like it.
This is a hunt year for me. Of course we will fish but not a fishing trip per say. We will fish for Char and Grayling in lakes and creeks. Depending on zone closures, weather and...
