Meateater Podcast episode #155: Guns - Lead study in ND
Grew up hunting in slug only land of the midwest. I have lost track of the number of deer killed with a 12 or 20 ga slug. The coppers from Federal and Remington in sabot form have been fantastic compared to the old foster style slugs (and even older "rifled" sabots for that matter). Longest shot...- pilsner

It looks like there are "exotics" on public land in Texas.......
Hey guys - dont forget that Texas has an awesome no cost program for disabled vets to get their hunting license! Just have your VA ID card and award letter with you when you purchase it (cant be done online sadly). -Brian- pilsner

ALPS MOUNTAINEERING Tasmanian 2 Tent
The wife and I have a Alps Mtn Zephyer -3 tent and have used the snot out of it the last 4 years. The think was a little heavy for the Appalachian Trail but worked well since I had my 130# service dog with me (and occasionally another occupant) but their tents are BOMBPROOF!

EOY - What Equipment Worked, What Didn't?
Worked: Mystery Ranch Pintler - it was my first year with it and I love it. Ended up adding a Kifaru Gunbearer which worked well for me (due to my knees I dont hike much without trekking poles so the Gunbearer was a great addition). RMEF/Alps Outdoors bino harness - I liked it for the money...- pilsner

First aid kit
A piece of saran wrap with some gauze underneath it makes a pretty good burn dressing as well. Just get the skin properly cooled off before applying it. I have even used it when field dressing to cover the outer tenderloin when hanging a deer - keeps the rind from forming and greatly limits... -

First aid kit
Your level of first aid training will dictate what goes in YOUR first aid kit. There isnt a ready-made good for all kit out there that I have found and Ive used most of them (retired US Army combat medic and civilian EMT). -Brian You mean Leuko tape? That stuff is awesome but pricey. -

Cot and Pad suggestions
+2 for the Klymyt Static V insulated. My wife and both swear by ours. If it keeps up warm and comfy sleeping on the ground your are gonna be just fine in a cot. They have a promo going on now where if you buy a pad from anyone (think the current black friday sales!) you should get a rebate form...- pilsner

Minimum Caliber For Alaska
Agreed! My vote for the OP is to spend some money on a FAA/TSA approved gun case, toss the .270 and .30-06 with some heavy for caliber premium ammo in the case, and book a ticket/guide then GO! your fiscal savings might even impress the wife enough that she doesnt complain about the two or three...
