Whole life vs. 401k
Always take the free money with the match! Besides, the magic of the 401k is that you don't pay capital gains on the growth. The 401k and the Roth IRA are the best retirement tools available to the average guy. I would run away from anyone who tells you not to take the free match of a 401k...- Outdoor Junkie

Emergency kit list
I learn something new everyday! Does it really catch a flame that easy? Do you think it's the fact that it's plastic or the adhesive on these?- Outdoor Junkie

Backpacking tent
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00AU6CYSA/ref=dp_ob_neva_mobile In case the link doesn't work, it's the Alps Mountaineering Zephyr 3 tent. I'm not an expert by any means, but I did a lot of research on cost vs. weight vs. quality and I came up with this tent. My brother and I are planning a...- Outdoor Junkie

2014 Wyoming Bucks
I'm not getting between you guys, but it looks pretty clear to me that fire was very recent based on the lack of vegetation and the look of the ashes.. Blacktail, please put the pics back up. Those were great bucks!- Outdoor Junkie

Thanks Guys! I'll definitely do the step ups. It he 50 pound bag of rock salt on the treadmill is great for cardio and some strength, but the step ups would really build the quads and calf muscles. I've also got the p90x, but it's collected dust for a few years. Time to get back on that. This...- Outdoor Junkie

Thanks for the info guys! We'll look into the Delorme or Spot device. I've used SPOT devices on several occasions for far northern Ontario canoe trips. I'll have to check into the Delorme as well. Quite honestly, I'm not sure if we'll have cell reception or not up where we are headed. If we do...- Outdoor Junkie

Wyoming elk hunt
^^^^^ This! I don't understand the philosophy of waiting 8-10 years to go on a hunt, when you can have a similar hunt with far fewer points as long as you do the proper research and work. You only have to look at Fresh Tracks and the Western Hunter to realize that you can get some really great...- Outdoor Junkie

Tag your animal immediately!
Rob, here is where you are wrong. Jim is not wasting the FWP's money by challenging this. The FWP is the one wasting the money by taking an animal that clearly was harvested and tagged wihout any intent to be unethical or break the law. The tag was on the animal when the warden came over and he...- Outdoor Junkie

College football mayhem
@jaypo1961: I miss the BCS, when the 2 best teams in the SEC met 4 the title and we were told the system worked. #Badgers My favorite tweet from yesterday! The mighty SEC West is 2-5 and the 2 wins are from their worst teams this year.... Bama and Auburn have been good, but the ridiculous bias...- Outdoor Junkie
