    New hunting pack! Killik 2800

    Good for you and good luck on your hunt. We went with KUIU ultra lite packs and packed out a couple elk last year. It was a game changer over the other packs we had. It cinched down great and nothing moved. Second elk we found a great game trail and a little longer walk but didn't have to go up...

    What does your hunting preparation workout routine look like?

    Did 9 quarts of green beans a few days back. Did 8 pints of lime pickles yesterday. I had to have a total reversed replacement in the right shoulder. Waited 22 years to do it. It all started with a dog fight in the back of my pickup grabbed the hat and swung at the dogs and the shoulder did a...

    What does your hunting preparation workout routine look like?

    This season my workout has been in the toilet. Six months of rehab on the shoulder. Finally out of rehab but will still be doing it all on my own. I've been busy with the yard and garden with all the watering and it's not all in one spot. So the legs are getting a little workout. Need to see if...

    Bread makers

Also I hate heating up the house this time of year with the oven. If using whole wheat flour there is an...

    Bread makers

    Go to King Arthur baking. They have the best bread machine. Also some of the best ingredients for baking you'll find. Mother Earth News has a recipe book on making bread for everything and everyone and gluten free recipes.

    How to stretch your pantry/fridge

    What about your flour, sugar and rice in bulk? Anyone doing that? 5 gallon buckets with gama lids are a good deal. But! If doing that you need to add one stick (has to be) double mint gum left in the wrapper in your dry goods to keep the weevil out. You can also use bay leaves to stop weevil...

    Dogs

    Have had way to many different breeds of dogs. And it's always been their personality that endears you to them. Have had hounds, Blue heelers and Kemmer stock mountain curs and now a black mouth cur. Have no loyalty to any breed it seems like. Always been around dogs and will always have one of...

    Asking for Rio

    Thunder and Lightning right on top of you will make a lot of dogs ears hurt. At least the last 7 dogs raised on fire lookout did. They also knew what a flash of lightning meant. This last dog was raised from a wee pup on a lookout and lightning and thunder really didn't bother him like it did...

    What are you guys paying for gas?

    It's changing daily. As of yesterday 85octane was $5.09 diesel was $5.60. Only the fools that have no sense are driving the big diesel guzzlers along with the big pickups driving around and going to recreate until it kills them.
