Yea multiple times when it was sunny, 70s during the day and 50s at night. Used my 20* quilt and yes I was warm but mainly from the sleeping bag. Just let some air draft in and I was comfortable. I do have a cheap light sleeping bag Ill have to try with it, along with a base layer next time...
Meindl's have been my goto for cold weather mountain hunts and late season sodak pheasant hunts. Mine are pushing 10 years old and still have lots of life. Probably have a few thousand miles on them. I did replace the insoles. They are much more comfortable than my crispis, both in the...
I have the exped synmat hl standard wide, no longer made but theres similar. Its quiet and comfortable but I have touched the ground on it, not 3" thick. Medium r-value. ~16oz
I switched to a quilt and bought the new Thermarest NeoAir NXT long (not the xlite). High r-value, also quiet...
Just re-read this thread after getting back from my last outing with my son. Took him to our usual opening day spot that we hunted last year for archery as well. No luck as far as bucks go, just saw a nice one being packed out. Good for that guy, its not easy.
So far the same setup has...
Went into the forest service office to ask how to report the (electric) mtn bikers I keep running into on the easy trails. Now I have the local patrols name and number, and it turns out they are specifically targeting mtn biker violations in wilderness areas this year. Should be fun. heading...
Great buck and story birddog!! Congrats on getting a big old boy. Id agree on that looking like a snake bite. When my dog got bit on the leg by a rattler it was like that, 2 symmetrical holes and swelling, just not as wide apart. That would have been a big snake.
Sorry to hear about that. If the disease could be managed with minimal pain for a few years, I would go that route at that age. It sucks but reality is 9 years old is not young. I would never give a dog chemo. Surgery is usually an absolute last resort too for cancer as theres no guarantees...
Kast King for me. Have their reels, fishing lines, and sunglasses. All work very well and arent expensive. Use braided for the main spool, for inland I use fluoro leaders.
In my late teens early 20s, i had horrible planters warts. Doctors were worthless freezing the off, so I went to a surgeon. He refused because I would lose part of my trigger finger and it may not fix the problem.
I told the surgeon I had ordered scalpels and medical equipment, and was...
Very nice boat! Good price too. My friends bought the damn near same boat out here used for $13k last year. But I dont care what people say, having a boat is worth it.
Thats correct and Im in that field. Most policies currently have a 2 year exclusion for suicide. Theres also an exclusion for payment if the death was during the commission of a felony, but Im not sure where this case would fall given the extreme circumstances. Honest guess would be yes it...
Good on you COEngineer. Ive been dealing with mtn bikers claiming ignorance on an easy 2 mile hike into a wilderness area with a popular lake. If rules arent enforced then it only gets worse.
Id guess the trailer is in the 12-14k gvwr range given that its a toy hauler with a sxs in the back, but would like to know the real specs. A 1/2 ton would not be able to tow that legally or safely, 3/4 ton no problem. Curious because of what I tow and Id like to learn to avoid what causes...
Glad you walked away!! Curious, was your truck a 2500 or 3500, diesel or gas? I have a 3500 diesel and a 30' trailer, just not a toy hauler. Also, what was your trailers gvwr?
Id wager that tow bill was $8-10k.
Highly recommend the watch duty app. Looks like it covers idaho and the rest of the west. Gives me alerts to new fire activity and current updates if I want.
