    MT Canvas Bridger

    I thought about one real hard last year but went with their spike tent for the same reason, at 70 I don’t like lifting that 16 x 20 onto the ridge pole by myself. The guys at MT were really trying to sell me on the Bridger but I have some experience with the spike. I now own three MT Canvas...

    Sunday Pic of the Day

    Hiking near Tucson last week she fell ill. Great vet in Tucson saved her life. Best guess is someone poisoning coyotes or other pests on public ground. She’s doing ok today, she’ll be 14 in a couple a few days. Otherwise love spending a couple months a year playing desert rat near Tucson.

    Tell me about fly fishing

    There is a lot of good water in Montana, you can learn to cast, cast in the wind; you can learn to fish-that’s different than casting and you can learn to land fish. I say this with some amount of admiration fueled by 20 years of guiding in Alaska. As a group my best fly guys were from Montana...

    Sockeye, pound for pound will get you into your backing in a hurry. So too will silvers

    Tell me about fly fishing

    Tie good knots. Sucks when a big fish takes off, gets you well into your backing and then Poof. 150.00 fly line and your Tarpon or 30 inch rainbow or 30 pound king are gone.

    Walking the Alaskan Tundra

    Well it’s more than mental, but that certainly plays a role. I had a number of magical streams I could guide on if I could get people there but 4 or 5 miles of tundra to and and the same back to the plane kept most from trying it. Always started clients on a stream that was a mile to mile and...

    South Africa 2028

    Congratulations. I agree with Chase based on my experience. I’ve used the 2.5 x 8 to great effect out to 500 on my Kudu, on a 300 HH. I think for a one rifle trip it will be fine for your 375. Save the money you would use for a new scope to put towards a Nyala, Bushbuck or Kudu. I have Leupolds...

    West coast salmon recovery

    I always wanted to start trying about mid march, but it’s still early. Bonneville damn counts show only three adult Springers over the fish ladder so far in March. My Grandfather and Great Grandfather wouldn’t bother fishing for Springers until the Dog Woods bloom. Mid April in the Willamette...

    Water Purification

    Haven’t tried the uv yet, the straw was one of the best pieces of emergency equipment I added to my pack. I’ll be taking the UV system to Africa this year.

    Tundra or Another F-150

    Catherine and I were a few days from leaving for Arizona at the end of January, I had to drive into town, (15 hiway miles) and on the way the transmission started acting up. My 2020 f150 has 116k miles on it. I was literally driving by our local Ford dealer so I pulled in. Figured I should get...

    NBR Alaska Caribou hunt

    You forgot the wind. Alaskans, especially those along the coast think folks from Wyoming are wimps when it comes to wind.

    Boat Buying Season?

    I was one of those guys. Only came back to the lodge on the kicker once but I worked on our fleet of evinrudes a lot, hated them.
