If my buddy was spooning me, I think I'd phrase it different. Telling a dude who's been in the backcountry for an extended time to "get off" could leave too much ambiguity...
It's not a responsibility. I enjoy sharing it with people who haven't had the opportunities that I have had, the people who didn't grow up doing it for generations. Sometimes it piques their interest, and they want to know more, sometimes not, but it almost universally serves to at least...
Man we can play this game all day. Only one party wants to transfer your public lands as well. Only one party wants to limit or deny your access to those public lands. This is where the "broaden your perspective" comment comes from. If you play strictly on party lines without keeping the...
The problem with this thinking is that you have to understand that this is a competition for the hearts and minds of the 90% of Americans who don't hunt (a fair portion of which do not care as you say) between us and those who would take away our rights as hunters. We have our ambassadors who...
I've been there. Came off the mountain one time, and the only thing open was a Taco Bell, we ordered like 4 of every kind of taco they had. The little guy taking our order says "one stoner special coming up!".
I don't even like Taco Bell, but man it was good that night.
I am also a fan of FL, but have never been able to find where they source their Merino, and would really like to know...if there is even a way to know.
Smooth top wire fences end up getting mashed down by livestock grazing over the top of them, and end up not being very good at containing said livestock.
You know, I've started to feel bad for ole Jeff...how this thread has gone. I think it may just be a presentation issue, and he just needs someone to help him with branding. So I'm going to do it. Completely without his permission, or input, I'm going to rewrite his story in a way that I...
You haven't met my kids... They are brilliant, informed, committed, and they are fighters. Don't be too quick to give up on generations that we haven't seen yet, just do your part to plant the important seeds.
I'm guessing I'm probably not the only one on this forum to have seen this, and you'll forgive me if I'm not too location specific, but I will say it's a pretty long way from any road or trailhead:
I’m in the same boat, breaking in new boots with 12 days to go. I just cut my training weight in half and am pounding miles into them, trying to get at least 7 or 8 a day in without tearing my feet up. 2 days in and so far so good. Not sure I’d go to the mountain with a boot I was worried...
@Ben Lamb you're a bright guy, and I enjoy the thought and passion that you bring to your posts, even when you take a position I don’t necessarily agree with. I think being in a hunting camp with you would be a lot of fun, but I’m going to have to be out on getting dressed up for the...
I haven’t had any issues with leaking in my beartooths, but I’ve been pretty diligent with the nikwax on the advice of a friend. That being said, they just don’t fit my feet right, so if anyone is looking for a pair in 9.5 with about 3 trips on them, I’ve got some. Hope the Crispis I’m...
I understand that. I also understand efficacy of different deterrents is a hotly debated topic in many circles, and one I’m not qualified to comment on with any level of expertise. I do feel confident saying that the appropriateness of any measure in any given circumstance is dependent on many...
Some guns are more sensitive to heat and being dirty. I have a .300 RUM that hates to be either hot or dirty.
There's a joke in there that I'm going to leave alone...
Man, those empty cooler deals happen sometimes bud, and while it's hard not filling your freezer, but I'm sure you got the most important things out of the hunt.
Yeah...if I shot an elk, and some d-bag put a claim on it, I'd just let him have it rather than engage in conflict...if some d-bag tried to lay claim to one of my kids first elk, he'd have to whip my ass...
