    Freezer Insurance

    I imagine I'm not the only one who has lost a freezer or two...or three full of meat for one reason or another. As someone who caches a years worth of venison and fish at a time, carefully vaccum sealed and catalogued, I've been less upset over long-term relationships ending than when I have...

    Boot Rebuild Vs. New & Fit Thoughts

    I have a 4 year old pair of Schnee's Beartooth that need new tread. They have a lot of miles on them, but I know them well and that brings me peace of mind. I can get a full rebuild through Schnee's at $180...or buy a new pair for another $120 or so. I'm also considering looking at other...

    Priced Out of Replacement Blade Knives

    I ran through 4 blades last night cutting up a big boar hog and thought nothing of it. I like a sharp edge and replacement blades are (were) cheap. Realized I'm getting low and hopped online to buy a bulk pack of 50 for my havalon and was floored.....$100! Absolute insanity as I bought a box...

    Deer Hunting Wisconsin Early November

    Just learned I'm going to be in Milwuakee Oct. 30-Nov. 2. Bummed a little because I have a pretty sweet deer hunt here at home in Florida that week, but got to thinking about extending my trip for a few days in the Wisconsin Deer woods to make up for it. It seems like that's the early rut...

    Spooky Experience With a Stove in a Tipi...What Went Wrong?

    First trip with a titanium stove in a tipi on a late season hunt. We had built nice fires for several nights in an area with lots of usable oak and mixed in some pine too. I never gave it much thought. We would keep it going through the night in single digit temps by rotating wakeup duties...

    Ultralight Cordage Reccomendations

    Every year I lug around 100' of 550 paracord from walmart in my pack. 50' is used for hanging food and the other 50' is kept in my kill bag for hanging meat, etc. It's heavy and bulky. I know this, but still punish myself out of convenience. This year I'm changing. There are so many options...

    My 2022 Archery Bull

    Been saving this one for a while. Hope this helps spur some excitement with September just 27 days away. This trip proved to be as special as I hoped it would be. I drew an awesome tag and this was going to be a family adventure, so that meant the wife and kids would be coming along for the...

    Wife's Muskox and Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep Mount

    The 2021 draw season was pretty unbeleivable for my wife. She drew TWO once in many lifetime hunts and we are fortunate to have some incredible memories which will now be accented by pretty cool trophies. We recently got her mounts back and couldn't be more pleased with how they turned out...

    What do you guys do with meat on extended and/or multi state hunting trips? Example…I’m hunting in state A and kill a bull on day 1. With 2 weeks of vacation time left, I’d love to head to another state and try for another elk or an archery antelope. This scenario has played out for me before...

    Inreach Location Information

    An acquaintance has agreed to rent me his inreach to use for a couple of weeks. I lost mine and need it in a pinch. Note I said acquaintance. I don't have any interest in sharing location information with this person, particularly as I plan on hunting some areas that I consider honey holes...

    Appreciate any thoughts or suggestions on extended stay camping solutions a family of 4. Climate would vary from 95 degrees (Florida) down to single digits (rare) and I would expect to deal with snow. We’ve been heavy into the western stuff for the last 4 years. Wife and I almost always spike...

    Muskox in January

    In the final planning/preparation stages for my wife's Muskox hunt in January on Nunivak and would greatly appreciate some input on outstanding items. Outer layer/bib/shell: We have plenty of insulating layers, but not a good outer shell. At least not one that is windproof. We are both from...
