As an update to this, I recently tried a bunch of the different Sitkas and ORs to zero success. Ended up ordering Prana Stretch Zion Slim Fit IIs and Kuhl Free Radikls in the taperad cut. My normal size is a 36x32 and I ended up needing 38x32s in both as they are so slim cut, I need a little...
This. Be present and know “your” time is when they are sleeping. That said, any marriage therapist will tell you that someone losing their identity is a collision course for marital problems. Communication and proactive planning are what get you around that. The only time I’ve come home early...
I’m in Coto de Caza if any of you guys are still looking for folks. Doing a local backcountry hunt this year and if you can convince me you’re not a serial killer, company could be fun. PM me
Only replying to this now as it was a “similar thread” on the Yeti/MR thread.
Having worked with Jason Bergsman, I can say he is a great fit for the MeatEater team. He’s been involved since the Chernin investment and while his pedigree may lead some to think he’s not relatable, that is not the...
Same. I’ve just found the organization and narrow profile that Exo offers to be a better fit for me.
My work bag, toiletry bag and some travel bags are all MR and such great products. Yeti may actually excel in that segment, but it’s the true rugged hunting/fire/military applications I’d be...
Closing the loop here. Finally got in touch with the USFS supervisors office and was told the permit is still required but dispersed camping and off trail exploration is allowed while hunting. Just need to get an overnight permit for a site near where I plan to be. More of a headcount on how...
On a serious note, I personally prefer a thumb release as it’s helped with my target panic and can slide right into the side pocket of my bino harness. Don’t want it on my wrist while running around mountains but it’s right there when needed
Certainly seems like some ideal habitat for them but given the deer herds in those areas have been on the decline, I would have to assume an elk herd introduction would not do well.
The patch will increase your reps in the gym. You can run a marathon a day (in jeans). You’ll kill massive bulls (on private). You’ll get front row seats at every UFC event.
Might be worth the $40 IMO #KeepHammering
My biggest gripe has been the lack of organization pockets. I end up overfilling the lid and I have a real heavy thing hanging off the back. I’ll see if it changes my mind when it comes but I think I’m headed towards a K4
Heard a lot of his stuff. Great wealth of knowledge
He was on the elk talk podcast talking to the guys after they nearly died of hypothermia in Alaska. Cool breakdown of what to do
Saw the comment about family not eating the meat. Can always give the non-prime cuts to donation. Just a thought. My buddy is a butcher in Pagosa and it happens a lot more than you would think and goes to those who will eat it.
Edit: if you only want to take game for your family’s consumption...
