    How bad is a 3/4 ton truck off road?

    I work for a marina and spend a lot of time towing boats, we have always run Ford F-250 diesel trucks, I had always had a gas truck to pull my personal bass boat (which probably only weighs 3k pounds or so) but I live in the mountains of North Carolina so a lot of steep mountain roads. After...

    Finally heading to Alaska: Caribou 2022

    Thanks for all the replies so far, we are allowed 80 pounds of gear per person and also we've added a third person to our party that lives in Alaska and has a fair bit of Alaskan backcountry experience/camping gear including a couple of 4 season tents that we can choose from. That should save me...

    Ruger American

    I haven't actually seen the casings but I'll ask her to bring them in, my suggestion was to just send it back to Ruger since she bought it new and she's only had it a couple of months, I'm not sure if she's tried different ammo or not but I know she said its happened every shot the last 3-4...

    Ruger American

    A girl that works with me bought one new in 6.5 Creedmore this year, she's having trouble with fired casings getting stuck...shooting Hornady factory loads, anyone else had this problem? I haven't looked at it but she said they had to hammer the bolt back to get it open the last couple of times...

    Finally heading to Alaska: Caribou 2022

    I've been dreaming about hunting in Alaska my whole life, figured I'd put it off long enough and booked a transporter for September 3-10 2022 out of Kotzebue for me and one of my best friends. I'm pretty sure I've read through every thread on here about caribou hunting in Alaska and I'm super...

    Wise Food Company freeze dried food

    I actually like the wise backpacking products that I have tried, however if you buy it in the buckets it typically comes in "family servings" so you get a few large bags rather than the individual servings in the resealable "backpacking" style, these are not made to just pour water into...you...

    New Yeti Adds

    I was the winner of Randy's 4th of July instagram contest and received a 45 quart yeti tundra and 10 pounds of the wild Alaskan seafood box products, so overall I'm going to say I'm very happy with whatever direction Randy has taken with Yeti haha...I also have a Yeti hopper and they make great...

    30-06 180 grain copper bullet performance

    I shoot federal 165 grain trophy copper out of my 30-06, I've killed 3 deer and 2 hogs since switching from lead and have really been impressed with the performance...I like that I seem to have less bloodshot meat around the impact area and so far everything has been a complete pass through...

    Old Powder

    I have an old Thompson Center black diamond that I haven't shot or hunted with in probably 10 years, I've decided to drag it out and hunt with it this fall (North Carolina so no crazy restrictions) I ordered a new scope for it yesterday and was looking at working up some loads for it. I'm...

    Alaska Airlines Credit Card

    Thanks, I think I’m finally understanding haha

    Alaska Airlines Credit Card

    Sorry, I guess I phrased the first part wrong... I understand the purchases converting to miles, but once you have 40,000 miles what’s the exchange rate on a ticket? Is it actually equal to 40,000 miles worth of flying or is equal to a certain monetary value of a ticket? And sure, be happy to...

    Alaska Airlines Credit Card

    Thanks for the replies, sounds like it’s definitely a good idea to pick up the card...I’m still a little confused though, currently when you sign up you get 40,000 miles after spending 2k within the first 90 days...how do miles convert to money? And sounds like you can’t use miles and the...

    Alaska Airlines Credit Card

    In the early stages of planning my first trip to Alaska with 3 of my closest friends, we are going in the fall of 2022 for a DIY, fly-in caribou hunt. Just starting the overwhelming process of nailing down logistics but I’ve read a lot of things about the Alaska Airlines credit card, currently I...

    What rite to get.

    Does the weight of the rifle matter to you? If not why not look at building a heavier rifle in a caliber that will offer you more of an advantage over your .270? I have a buddy with a 13 pound .300 RUM (no brake) and honestly it's not bad to shoot at all, you could look at something like the...

    What are you currently reading?

    Runes of the North by Sigurd F. Olson, bought it to take with me on a fly-in fishing trip to Canada last week and ended up not having much time to read so I'm reading it now, and also Path of the Puma by Jim Williams, heard about it on a meateater podcast and its been very good so far

    Unforgettable books..

    Scrolling through this thread and saw your picture of the cover of "Runes of the North" never heard of it or read it but it looked like the perfect reading material for my upcoming fly-in fishing trip in Ontario so I promptly hopped on ebay and have a copy on its way...just hoping it arrives...
