    Freezer question

    Sunstar, if you want to go ultra efficient. I live off grid and rely on solar and generator for electricity, so efficiency is critical. They're more expensive but use less than a fifth of the power of the same size conventional freezer.

    Snow chain recommendations

    For purposes of that sort of thing "light truck" typically means anything under 14,000 GVW, so all pickups and one tons, basically. Heavy trucks are ones over 26,000 GVW and bungees for them are typically going to be far too large in diameter for use on a pickup.

    Snow chain recommendations

    That's true. They're made to fit a range of sizes. A big bolt cutter works but I prefer an angle grinder with a cutoff wheel. Which chains work best is going to depend on where you're going to use them most. I have a set of studded chains and a set of square link. The square link are smoother if...

    Sabot Slugs vs Nilgai

    Hand it to a dude wearing camo or orange at the wildlife refuge, or pour it out in a long thin line and light it up. Personally, having used slug guns and muzzleloaders more than any other type of weapon for hunting, I'll go to a fair bit of trouble to use a good muzzleloader rather than a slug...

    Hunt elk hunting grind for newbie

    Just for my own education, (as a new guy), what happened that made you come to that decision? What should new people avoid so as not to piss off those with experience?

    Sabot Slugs vs Nilgai

    Have you tried to find a place to buy black powder (or whatever you normally use) close to where you're hunting? That's what I'd be trying to do if I were you. Good muzzleloader is so much nicer than a slug gun.

    Hunt elk hunting grind for newbie

    Maybe your hunt already happened, but just in case. Is the new guy physically fit for an elk hunt? That'd be the most important thing to consider, seems like. I'm a new guy. First time elk hunting was in 2021. I'd be thrilled if someone experienced was willing to take me hunting, but for now...

    Outdoor wood burning furnace

    Advantage of an outdoor furnace is that the mess isn't in the house and you can burn bigger wood. Disadvantage is that it uses more wood and requires electricity to work. IMO, basic functions of a house, like heat, should not require electricity to function. Obviously most people don't share...

    History of Eastern and Western Style Antler Point Count

    The way I've heard it most often is they'll say 4x5 or 4x3, and sometimes 4x4, but often, if it's the same on both, they'll just say 4 pointer. I know that if I hear someone here say they got a 5 or 6 point buck, they got a big deer.

    History of Eastern and Western Style Antler Point Count

    That brings up an interesting question. I'm not sure. If you look up PA, or KY record elk, the articles I found in a quick search don't bother to mention antler point count at all, they just tell you the score. Do eastern elk hunters count the points on an elk's antlers the same way they would...

    History of Eastern and Western Style Antler Point Count

    I lived in a couple different states in the East (Ohio and Virginia) for most of my life and then moved here to Idaho a few years ago. I'd heard and read about the two different methods of counting antler points of course, but hadn't talked to anyone who used the Western method till I moved...

    Tips For Judging Size Of Lone Cows

    I'm new to elk hunting. Been hunting whitetails in the east for 25 years and then moved here to Idaho 3 years ago. I was fortunate enough to get a raghorn bull on opening day of rifle season last year. This year, I spent 6 days hunting, saw a couple but had no shots and then killed a bull calf...

    North Idaho Snackables

    I was talking about the depth of the bag. Most freeze dried food that I've had comes in a bag that is too deep for a "conventional" length utensil to reach without making a mess.

    North Idaho Snackables

    That's common to pretty much all the freeze dried, rehydrate in the bag food that I've had. Got to get you one of these, https://www.backcountrygear.com/alpha-light-long-spoon/

    Life without a cell phone or debit card

    Not gonna get into an argument about this, but I'm curious about your reference to a human arm in hotdogs? What's that about?

    Life without a cell phone or debit card

    I meant places that used to have it. I'm quite familiar with places that basically skipped the wired communication age. I was talking about phone lines specifically, not internet. I live in an area with no power lines, but we do have a landline phone. Satellite is the only internet available here.

    Life without a cell phone or debit card

    Are there places where landlines are no longer available?

    Life without a cell phone or debit card

    It would be inconvenient, but the world as a whole would be far better off if we somehow lost the last 100 years worth of "advancements".

    Range Finder vs. Binoculars

    That's where I used to live. I'm in North Idaho now. Whole different kind of hunting.:)
