    Favorite Backpacking Meals

    Came across Pinnacle Foods Co last summer. Ordered some B&G for last years hunt and I can honestly say that it’s the best backpacking food that I have ever had. Highly recommend.

    Colorado Unit 76/49/66

    Wow, that’s a good spot to be in! Unfortunately, I don’t have any experience in those units, besides vacation and hiking around in Creede. Beautiful country and seemed to be good elk numbers from what I saw while visiting. Talked to some locals at a few bars and they had good things to say about...

    Elk Mountain Tents

    I just looked them up, very reasonably priced. I’m in the market for a wall tent and I’m glad you mentioned something about them! Curious to see if anyone has experience with them.

    GoHunt vs Onxmaps...for mapping

    Gohunt Insider allows you to look at draw odds, units, species, states and they just came out with a new mapping system that is similar to onx and basemap. Essentially, you will use their mapping system as you would onx, so there is no need to export information from one mapping system to another.

    Maple Syrup

    Wouldn’t hurt to ask. The turkey fryer is a slow process because of the lack of surface area. More surface area you have on your evaporator, the faster your boil rate will be.

    Maple Syrup

    20x12, 6 inch deep. I only fill about 2-3 inches, seems to boil off quicker with less sap in them. All I did was cut a 55 gallon drum to fit the pans, then bought a stove kit that consisted off a door, legs and a flue. I’m boiling about 3.5 gals an hour, last year I used a turkey fryer and it...

    Maple Syrup

    First thing you have to do is tap several maple trees. Second, collect and boil the sap down to syrup. Generally, the ratio is 40 gallons of sap to 1 gallon of syrup. Most of the sap consist of water, so boiling evaporates the water off. Usually right around 219 F is when the sap turns to syrup.

    Anyone else do their own syrup? It’s a process and time consuming, but worth it!
