    Suunto Traverse Alpha

    Growing up in the Canadian arctic

    There were quite a few occurrences of musk ox running through town. This is not one of those instances, but there was also a time when a musk ox jumped over the snowmobiles. For such an inflexible and sluggish looking animal (To me) they sure can move. ETA: I stand corrected. This...

    Growing up in the Canadian arctic

    Tanning a polar bear hide. Clearly many moons ago. So it was tradition in the settlement on Easter to have new embroidered jackets. At least that's what we were told as our parents forced upon us embroidered jackets that we hated wearing. Still have some of them, and a few of them fit my...

    Extra Fuel

    My truck just stays hooked up to the pump at the gas station, so my range is fairly limited. And my tank is about the size of a shot glass. When I tow a trailer I drove from gas station to gas station.

    Who else uses a tag as a purchase excuse?

    Growing up in the Canadian arctic

    Many millions of people, from Siberia, through Alaska, Canada, etc. have grown up in such a fashion, I would presume. I just felt my father’s hunting stories and way of life in his 30s-50s might be of interest to this forum. For me I thought nothing of it as that’s all I knew at the time, so...

    Growing up in the Canadian arctic

    these pages were stuck together so I missed it. I’m getting wrapped up in his journal now... even though I was there there’s so much I had forgotten. Intriguing stuff, to me.

    Growing up in the Canadian arctic

    I blacked out one section, because not everything From his journal is an open online book.... I can verify with my mom sometime, but as I recall he was never found. That may have been someone else though, but I’m 90% certain it was Fred that was never found.

    Growing up in the Canadian arctic

    So I have come across my fathers journal from the first years in the north. I will be painstakingly scanning all the pages for myself, etc. Here is a snippet of it, some is handwritten, others typed on a typewriter and glued into the book (it was the late 70's early 80's after all). There are...

    Who else uses a tag as a purchase excuse?

    ordinarily I would agree. I wanted a new rifle for matches and such, but justified finishing mine by my tag, and that passed the wife’s muster.

    Who else uses a tag as a purchase excuse?

    it is to me. Because it’s capable of it and I can use it for other things I enjoy as well. ETA: and my wife doesn’t know any different.....

    Who else uses a tag as a purchase excuse?

    I drew for elk again this year after years of waiting, so I used it as an excuse to my wife to justify purchases I wanted anyway. I assume a lot of people do this. I used my follow on deer tag as another excuse, but I used the elk to justify to my wife finishing this rifle in 300WM. I was not...

    Almost a really bad scouting trip

    Almost stranded on my sxs once, I Thought I had put a spare fuel can in the back but apparently I had forgotten, as my son and I then left camp. Reached the PONR, went to refill, and saw no can. Turned around and drove back, on fumes for miles and miles. Once we got back to about 14 miles out...
