My/our "essentials" list is pretty well filled:)
The 45 Colt in a Blackhawk is a fun shooter. Find yourself a Winchester lever gun to go with it and you have a fun 'cowboy' set up.
The 357 is also...

The modularity is awesome.
I would think when it comes to the weight cutting I would leave the Nimrod pack at home. No question it's a great day pack, I've used one for years. But, with the...

There have been several requests regarding instructions for pitching the ParaTipi.

Here is a photo of the instructions sewn into the stuff sack of my Para. Sorry if it's hard to read, but this...

shtfo is GTG! Thanks for an easy transaction, product as new and patient with me in getting the PayPal side of things done!

I'd agree with the comments above. All that ammo that isn't on the store shelf is squirreled way in someone's reloading room.
In fact, late last year on some radio show I heard some talking head...

I'm still toting a G1 Longhunter.
After 4-5 days of rain and snow in the Pacific Northwest my pack is WET! I use the Kifaru pack cover that came with my pack and it works really well to keep things...

PM with info you need.

Randy

PM on belt pouches.

But the 375 with 270 grain pills at a paltry 2650 will deal with any 4-legged critter and do it in a manner that allows most everyone to shoot it accurately and comfortably from field positions. ...

FWIW...regarding Frogg Toggs.
I bought a set about 5 years ago. Figured I try them for a season and see how they worked. I must say, for the money they have been excellent.
I have used them on...

You just have to make that time to get out. Doesn't have to be a a full on expedition, but just getting to the foothills or out in the sun and fresh air will help.
I travel weekly and usually have...

Maybe Patrick and Aron can chime in on their impressions of the Zebra lights they were testing at the NW Rondy last summer.
I'd really be interested in battery life in the units they were using.

There should be printed instructions sewn into the tipi stuff sack.
If you don't find them, let me know and I will shoot a couple of pics of mine this weekend and send them to you.

Bushcraft has Shooter on his smart phone.
Last fall we did a little longrange plinking with his 300 RUM and my puny little 308.
Of course he had the detail on his rifle and cartridge already...

I purchased the little sonic cleaner at Harbor Freight about a year and half ago. It is the same cleaner as, I believe, the Lyman. Just $50 or so cheaper.
Using the heater option; fill the tank...

Scott,
Welcome!
We have an annual NW Kifaru Rondy sometime in August. No firm dates or locations, but stay tuned.
Always nice to have another Nor'wester on the boards!

Kevin's statement about mental fatigue is key in this whole backcountry hunting fitness discussion.
Kevin has a workout regimen that works for him...I have seen him hump unreal loads at paces far...

I don't know that you need to back off.
My point being, if you can do the workouts and do the mountain miles, why back off? You can continue training just as hard when you're older, than when...

Nice vid. Inspiration to keep working out during the slow winter months.

An added bonus would be if this s the 2013 version of last year's Beastmode pot-stirring catalyst:)

Seriously though, I...

Looking for some input regarding a good quality pellet rifle.
I don't need a competition grade rifle, but would like something that I can snipe starlings with and the occasional, dare I say it,...

A Wilderness Safepacker with a shoulder strap works well in this environment. Just another guy with manpurse:)

So the USDA inspection and sign off is today.
A deposit has been left and soon the hides are off to the tannery!
The Kudu and Waterbuck are going on a common pedastal; the Bushbuck, a shoulder...

Thanks for the cool pics Allen!

Here's a little backgrounder for you folks;
So Allen and Christina decide to make the run over the hill and join us in Eastern WA for our annual SCI Banquet. My...

H&H, no question!
I have the big brother and need the little guy:)
It is all about adding rifles to the stable. My list of "Guns I Still Need" is getting shorter, but oddly enough more expensive....

FWIW, yes my brother and I have burned coal in a Kif stove. First, it needs to be really hot to get it going. Next, the stove will chug like an old steam locomotive and put out some nasty smoke and...
