    Campers

    I had an A-frame style hard sided pop up. I got it cheap and rebuilt it mostly. It was fine for what I used it for (mostly long weekend hunting trips by myself) but after one season I could tell it wasn't quite what I wanted. I did like the lightweight portability of it and took it into areas...

    .43 Egyptian. I don't actually own the cartridge, just the gun.

    Gila 100

    Like most wilderness areas, there isn't a bad time to visit. But avoiding some of the busy trailheads during the fall hunting season isn't a bad idea. Late April is a fine time - things are green, the weather isn't hot, and the turkey are gobbling. I had the pleasure of packing 20 miles into...

    20 GA Over/Under- spend my money

    In a 20 gauge I doubt the weight difference between an aluminum and steel receiver is enough to make a big difference. The Instinct LX comes in a case hardened steel receiver.

    Remington Rolling Block

    Good enough for now. I'll order an original butt plate to replace what's on it now, an original rear sight, and a cleaning rod. The original cleaning rod on this gun is bent and doesn't slide in the holding groove very well. The rust cleaned up well. The wood is still rough but it is a 150 yr...

    Remington Rolling Block

    I took the gun to Kurt Hardcastle to look at today. That guy is an encyclopedia on rolling block rifles. He said the gun was made in Egypt in the late 1870s. That would explain the weird writing on the barrel I could not read. The cartridge is .43 Egyptian. The muzzle is worn out, thus I...

    Remington Rolling Block

    My granddad had this old Remington Rolling Block on his wall for a long time. I'm not sure who gave it to him. It was gifted to me a few weeks ago. It's in pretty rough shape. The cleaning rod is stuck, the sights are broken. But the hammer spring is strong, the bore is decent, and the trigger...

    Jerry rigged

    Sometimes they don't come with enough storage from the factory. Or a large enough bathroom, not sure which.

    History Found In the Field

    Found a small cliff dwelling perched above the river bottom today. I'm certainly not the first person to find it but it's not publicized or on a map so it was a nice surprise.

    Iditarod 2023

    A lot of changes with the Iditarod in recent years with dropped sponsors, COVID, etc. But good to see it still going. My wife volunteers at a check point usually every other year. Always fun to watch the strategy unfold.

    Hill City, SD

    I used to live in Custer. I'm sure some things have changed quite a bit since then.
