Grizzly kills woman hiker in Montana yesterday, by Yellowstone
Sorry for her parents. The article doesn't say if she was on a hike or a trail run. IMO, trail running in Grizzly country is nuts. The opportunity to surprise a bear is far greater than just walking, and your ability to react with spray in a timely manner is greatly diminished. But apparently...- Brad

Backpacking Stove Battle: Primus vs. Soto
It nests "sort of." You put the lid inside the windscreen, then the 110g cartridge and stove in the pot. Works good enough.- Brad

Backpacking Stove Battle: Primus vs. Soto
Stoves and pots are fun! I had a Soto WM, but ended up selling it and going with the MSR PR Deluxe (my main stove is a Jetboil Sol Ti). I disliked the finicky-ness of the Soto compared to the MSR, and I could easily make a Ti windscreen for the PR DLX, but couldn't sort one out for the Soto...- Brad

Sons First Elk Rifle - Poll
Ah, no it isn’t. Ask anyone in the 1000 yard game. All things being equal, short, fat cases with 30-35* shoulders are the gold standard for inherently accurate cartridges. Or, short, fat rounds with 20* or tighter shoulders over 30 cal. Any cartridge can be made to shoot accurately given the... -
Sons First Elk Rifle - Poll
7mm-08 82.1% 6.5 Creedmoor 17.9% I voted for the Creedmoor and was stunned by the vote percentage. Most of my bulls have been taken with the 308, but I have also used the 7-08. However, if my kids were starting elk hunting tomorrow they'd be... -
Proof positive of STUPID people with money......
A good overview of cast iron skillets. In their testing the fairly inexpensive Lodge is the winner over far more expensive makes. https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-cast-iron-skillet/- Brad

Band of Brothers
My father in law was a Marine Corp Forward Gunnery Observer in the South Pacific. 3 landings, always 2nd wave (the worst) until he was torn apart by a Japanese mortar round on Peleliu. That put him in hospital for months but he survived the war. He never talked with his own sons or family about...- Brad

There's Something About a Nice Knife
I've got exactly one custom hunting knife (kitchen knives are another story!). Over the years I've owned a number of Gene Ingram knives, and enjoyed trying various builds. Through trial and error I found his #7 Drop Point was pretty much the sweet spot for what I like, so I ordered one in...- Brad

Montana and Tik Tok
You really think the Chinese need "TikTok" to effectively surveil the US? Teenaged girls have that much vital information? I have a client who is the CEO of a Fortune 500 Co. Going back more than ten years ago, he's told me stories of waking up in the middle of the night to find the cursor on...- Brad

You really think the Chinese have more influence over the American electorate via TikTok than, say, the Russinas do via Facebook? Hmmm...- Brad

Montana and Tik Tok
TikTok is the easy, low hanging fruit for the R's to pick to persuade the masses they are actually doing something substantive, even if it's just another culture-war exercise that is essentially empty in any meaningful way (as well as being unconstitutional). But nuvo-fascists rarely care about...- Brad

Extra Stupid Window Stickers
OK, I had to google SledNeck, then Rev. It's all clear to me now. Another subculture I know nothing about... What is a rev snowmobile? The REV platform changed the way snowmobilers ride today putting them in a forward leaning position and bringing the center of gravity closer to the middle of...- Brad

Everything but Hunttalk
I've noticed a decline in most of the forums I participate on (more backpacking than hunting). Reddit, and to a lesser degree, Facebook have picked up the traffic that used to participate on forums. The one really important aspect of forums that no one (I think) has mentioned is they are a...- Brad

Which headlamp?
How much light do you really need? I've found 300-400 perfectly adequate, and prefer a headlamp under 2oz's. I've owned many of the brands mentioned here, but anymore Nitcore is my one stop shop. Want over 1500 lumens? They've got it. Want a 1oz rechargeable? They've got it...- Brad
