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...
We have a solar system at the cabin. But by this time the cabin is to cold and the batteries shutdown. Has anyone tried heating blankets or anything to keep their batteries good thru the cold months without heat? It would have to run off the battery it is protecting. Google shows some things...
Ideas from another thread. Keep it going. Not serious
1. Kids stopped getting wood burning kits for their 10th birthday
2. Kids stopped getting wood carving kits for there 11th birthday
3. Gas cans got that @##$%% vent no leak thing
4. Kids stopped getting bb guns for their 12th birthday
5...
Decided to photo dump some of my favorite photos from Alaska Float Hunting. Hoping others will do the same. Doubling back. If anyone knows how to drop a bunch of photos without doing it individually that would be great. lol
A bit small. But a bull none the less
Lining it thru the rapids...
Offering a couple looking to see what others have
1. I always get my tags prior to traveling. Way to annoying if someone is sold out
2. Groceries and misc gear. I order my jetboil fuel and anything else online for pickup at REI or Cabelas. Food as well for pickup. Allows better planning...
I am sure we all have that 1 gun we wish we hadn't sold. For me there is more then 1 but if I had to name 1 it would be a winchester featherweight in 270. 35yrs ago. Absolute tack driver. And beautiful. What's yours?
This program allows Farmers tags to harvest deer August through April. Not sure what was in place prior and I am not overly familiar with it. Growing up we would just kill them and the Game Warden would pick them up if it was more then we wanted. So I leased this land in Potter County PA and...
Any recommendations for a spotting scope tripod?
I am looking for something lightweight to fit in my backpack. I already have a binoculars and Bogg adapter for the tripod I currently own. Its just way to big for backpacking. If I can't use the Bogg adapter that is fine. Its more important...
I jumped in a rabbit hole trying to make sense of why the ICE hate. Please do not make this political finger pointing. I genuinely cant make sense of it. Here is what I found
100's of websites set up to track and harass ICE
Very little if any opportunities to support law enforcement without...
Different folks have different levels of excitement. For me it has evolved. As a youngster I lost my mind but managed to hold things together enough to take a good shot with (1) major flaw. I constantly rushed it. As I got older I got past that to some extent. I feel that shot rushing is a...
The Great American Outdoor Show in Harrisburg PA is 2/7-2/15. I go every couple years. After a year or 2 I forget how much I hate crowds, Not being able to walk, and the effort required to find the 10 things I want to see. In any case its called the largest in the world. Is anyone else...
This morning I was at the local convenience store (Sheetz) getting coffee. I always use self check out. It has audible prompts. I was in the middle of paying when a dude walked up to the self checkout next to me. Bagged his stuff. And walked out. No scanning. No payment. Pretty brazen...
All day sitters‐What keeps you in stand. For me:
Change socks and shirt if its a long walk before climbing
Minimal clothes for walk in
Body suite below 20degrees
Plenty of water
Plenty of snacks
3 cans of Copenhagen minimum in case 1 drops, 1 drops and 1 gets emptied. I decide to stick half a...
I am an early guy. Typically want to be settled in 1 hr before light. When we were in Maine we were not allowed to enter the woods till light. For me I am not hunting remote. Its farmland. Especially during the rut I want to be in the stand while the deer are still in the fields. I get...
