So I've seen this happen quite a few times. If you go to some of the competitions the guys will seat their bullets long and with light neck tension. If for some reason there is a cease fire and guys have to open their chamber with a round in the chamber they will sometimes get there bullet...
Love the pic of the tent with the light on!!!!!! I was also surprised at how warm it was this year. Actually way to warm. One day I didn't even put a jacket on in the morning. That's crazy. Last year I was plenty cold and wet and was always looking forward to a fire. Didn't even...
Well long story on the first unit 500 ram. Very nice ram. looked more like a thin horn than a big horn. Long and thin but very cool. The smoke sucked everyday!!!!!! My eyes watered constantly and my allergies sucked because of it. Hiking in thin air full of smoke wasn't my idea of a...
Food is a biggie. Weight is one thing....being able to eat what you brought for 14 days is another thing. I've looked at food in my pack at times and only one or two items looked good at the time. Bring variety. You can't have to much variety. I've spend as much time dealing with...
It looks like you have most everything under control. You will want to have a dry bag for your down. A vacuum seal is a one use bag basically and you will put your down in and out of a dry bag many, many, many times. Sometimes I put mine in and out of a dry bag 2-3 times a day........or...
Thank you!!!!! Tenacious tape is a must have in every pack. This stuff makes duct tape look like scotch tape. It is super bad ass and is a must have. A small section of tape goes a long ways.
So for a backpack hunt my pack weighs in at #38 pounds before a gun, food and water. My gun weighs in at 7# so that brings me up to 45#. That does account for my 15 power swaro's and a BTX scope with a tripod. Plan on 2#'s of food a day. Then just add food weight to the pack for the...
It's been challenging for most of us to find someone that wants to go hunt/camp in the UL's. If you aren't comfortable going by yourself then keep searching for a buddy to go with you. It's not for the faint of heart to say the least.
Oh there will be stories......that I can assure you.......There is a good chance few if any will result in a putting a tag on an animal but there will be stories.
I went through my entire pack list last week and put everything in my pack this weekend (except food). Sealed my boots...
I would think about putting a deposit on a stone sheep hunt (if you have done quite a bit of hunting and have the ability to kill animals when you want too. If not, then stay in the lower 48 until you kill animals regularly). At some point you will need the stone and I think there is a...
