I'm going to start this thread in hopes all the folks I saw with cameras (Bill, Paul & Kevin) will post a few pictures.

After I packed up Sunday morning I went for a short hike with my burros in...

CTK...I think Xena needs a hiking merit badge! I'm sure you have one on your old sash.

I doubt there will be much snow left by the weekend but it might be a little muddy. Looks like I'll be up Saturday morning. I'll bring my cooking disks for the pot-luck in the big top.

I've only had one instance where I considered drawing my pistol. I had a 500 pound (plus) male black bear within 20 yards and he wasn't showing any signs of fear. Instead of using my pistol, I...

I carry a Glock 27, .40 cal. in a Wilderness Safe Packer. I've used it in "anger" a few times. Once I blasted a coyote that was putting the sneak on my Springer Spaniel. I also made a chipmunk run...

Awesome pix! My son and I did this hike back in 2010. If you plan to go you want to get in before the end of April, otherwise it gets really hot once you get up top. Plus, it gets really busy in...

Thanks! Great advice and very similar to my doc friend, who's also a backpack hunter. I asked him what was in his kit and he carries the basics as well. Based on the advice here I'd say my kit is...

I've used the acid brush, my finger, silicone thinned with mineral spirits and silicon full strength. I've sealed a 16-man, 12-man, 8-man, 4-man, ParaTarp and three of my FlyBoy tarps. Plus, I've...

You are killin' me Smoke! LOL!

I am anti monkey butt! :)

I have half a dozen different brands (REI, Starter, Jockey, etc). Not getting wrapped up in a specific brand...for me, they need to be made of a wicking fabric, come...

This is great stuff gents...thanks! I am required to take a wilderness first aid course because I am an adult crew leader at Philmont this summer, I'm signed up for a class in April. So, I'll check...

I realized I neglected to specify which song it was. it was "Don't Look Back."

The music is "Smokin' - A Bluegrass Tribute to Boston - Pickin' On Series"

The Pickin' On Series also has other albums that are really good. IMO the bluegrass versions sound better than some of...

I'll be doing lots of deep wilderness rambles this summer in the Rockies, sometime 8 hours or more from professional medical help. I'm putting together an equine med kit for my pack burros. As I was...

Thanks for all the compliments guys. It's hard to do it just with a little video and a few pictures, but I gave it my best shot! When we ate the venison I was wishing we had smell and...

I cannot agree 100% with you on this one Wayfarer10. I've been eating in my Kifaru Tipi for years. Better advice might be not to leave "smellables" in your tent, keeping a clean camp is always a...

Here's a little video of our adventure. Epic...as always!

I get that a lot. I walked into a gun show a while back and I'll bet 10 guys asked me about it within 5 minutes! Funny! But it's a one of a kind. We experimented with some clothing a year or so...

Here are a few pix...more coming!

I've read a lot about the early US explorers like Lewis and Clark and the early pioneers like Jedediah Smith and they took as many pack animals as they could manage. Acquiring horses from the...

Earlier today, Herb brought to my attention that the CO DOW has added a new rule to in the 2013 Sheep and Goat Hunting Brochure. (Page 3)

"Leave your pack goats at home when hunting sheep

I took the girls on a short hike to the top of a little hill and let them graze for a while. What a beautiful day! It is so relaxing listening to the sound of the breeze through the pines and...

TIMBER!

Yes sir, several of us plan on heading up Friday evening. I'll probably roll into camp around 9 PM.

We did a little wood cutting today. Big Jon cut down three trees. Hopefully that'll be enough because it takes a lot of wood to feed those two arctic stoves! The beetle killed wood is gonna burn...
