Hot tents
I don't scrimp on socks. I have a pair on my feet and 3 in my pack. It's been my experience that if I keep my feet happy, I can endure most anything, and happy feet means dry feet, which in the mountains often means having plenty of spares, whether it be from getting some wet putting them back...- RockinU

Hot tents
Now that sounds like a pretty together set up. If you get it down to 35 lbs minus sustenance I'd like to hear the bag dump. My tent/pad/bag set up weighs in just a bit under 6 lbs total, and I don't have to sleep in layers unless it gets pretty close to single digits...I feel like I put long...- RockinU

Thoughts on the anti-hunting movement
Catching canids in a leg hold is damn hard, catching them in a snare is not. Calling them in is way more fun than either.- RockinU

Hot tents
Yeah, I'm just not seeing the need, I have a quilt that's rated to 0, and dang sure works in the mid teens that weighs less than 2 lbs, I'm not thinking a stove fits my needs. They are pretty bad ass that they've got them that light and all, just not my cup of tea. Would love to see pictures...- RockinU

Major Climate Change Rules the Trump Administration Is Reversing
The problem with all this, and with the apparent lost trust of the scientific community is that it appears from the outside like the results can be bought and paid for. Both sides have been caught exaggerating for "their side". A lot of the problems stem from some scientists obviously, in fact...- RockinU

Hot tents
You guys are carrying wood stoves in on your backs? How far? What does your pack weigh? Wouldn't a high end bag or quilt make more sense? I feel like I'm missing something. I have a wall tent for trailhead camping, but I'm not sure about carrying a wood stove very far back, I've slept some...- RockinU

Public Land Colorado - Highest of Highs & Lowest of Lows
Man, that's a tough deal. I know hindsight is 20/20, and Monday morning quarterbacking is easy, but I might have stood guard over where he was bedded until night fall, at least having now heard your story, that's what I think I'd do in the future if I am ever confronted with that situation... -
Thoughts on the anti-hunting movement
Dude...I'm always interested in what you have to add to every discussion, but do you really think it's right to denigrate the chumps of this world by lumping them in with freakin Beto?? Come on Ben, you're a better man than that...- RockinU

Thoughts on the anti-hunting movement
We need to do a better job screaming from the literal mountain top what PLT is, what it represents, and what it would cost us, what you say definitely demonstrates that we need to do a better job getting the message out. As for talking to local politicians, I can't really say, I know that my...- RockinU

Thoughts on the anti-hunting movement
I think my comprehension is fine, your quoted post was in the same vein as most of your contributions on this subject. A form letter gets what message across better? Don't misunderstand, I've signed plenty of form letters, and I usually get form letters in reply. I can send you a few as...- RockinU

Solo Backcountry Elk Hunt Debrief -- Southern CO
I disagree. Some take longer than others to break in, but I don't stop paying attention to my boots until they have around 50 miles on them. I wear Salomons ever day, and have about 4 different models, their toughest is probably the quest 4D GTX, and it is a bad ass hiking boot. It is not any... -

Alienate people?...heck, his post made me feel like I need to get off my ass, and I do advocate...different strokes I guess.

Thoughts on the anti-hunting movement
While I won't disagree with that, you can't make that point and then ignore that when public land transfer discussions happen, it's always brought to the table by the GOP...hell, it's a plank (or at least it was) in their national platform. Transfer may not be openly anti-hunting, but it is...- RockinU
