    Rinella's Bear Adventure on Afognak Island

    I imagine a lot of you guys and gals listen to The Meateater Podcast, but just in case you don't, this latest two part series was a doozy. http://www.themeateater.com/podcasts/ep-086-the-meat-tree-part-1/ http://www.themeateater.com/podcasts/ep-087-the-meat-tree-part-2/ All kinds of thoughts...

    Smart Phone versus dedicated GPS

    I've always just used my phone with pre-downloaded maps and airplane mode switched on. Never had a problem. Battery usually lasts 3-5 days of intermittent use, add on a lightweight external battery and you can easily stretch to 10 days or more as needed. Paper maps and compass as a back up. I...

    Breakfast anyone ?

    Me too please. Exactly this. On some days, if I'm feeling sassy and have nowhere to be immediately, I'll have one of those Mountain House scramblers rolled up in a tortilla with some hot sauce.

    Griz Hunt Banned in BC

    You know things are bad when misty-eyed bunny huggers are listened to before clear-headed scientists. Sadly facts don't sell as well as emotion. Wolves are next.

    British Columbia bans Grizzly "Trophy Hunting"

    You can bet that wolves are next. I have already seen chatter to that effect. Now instead of people paying into the pot for wildlife management, they will need to take money out of general revenue for the purpose. In a grizzly population of >15,000 where only ~250 are taken each year. But it...

    British Columbia bans Grizzly "Trophy Hunting"

    Idiocy. Idiocy and plain old pandering to ignorant voters with cuddly bear calendars on their walls who have never set foot in the woods in their life. So frustrating.

    Chasing a Moose in the Northern Saskatchewan Forest

    Damn those are awesome tips, thank you!! I have a couple of spots tentatively marked out but I will go back to the map with this advice in mind. Hey Sask Hunter—good to see a fellow stubble-jumper on here! I've been drawn zone 64 for either-sex moose and Greenwater Lake Provincial Park for...

    Merino Wool

    I've always used the plain black icebreaker base layers and I love them. No experience with First Lite but I've seen them well recommended here (in this thread!) and elsewhere on the web plenty of times. Probably you can't go wrong with any of the usual suspects, so I would just keep an eye out...

    Kuiu

    I can't seem to find the link on the Canadian version of the site… is it US only? Bummer…

    Sleeping bag decision help

    As has been said, bags are pretty personal. Some folks sleep hot, some sleep cold, the only way to find out is to buy and try! Generally speaking though I think a 15° or 20° bag is a good all-rounder if you're not doing any winter camping. If you are feeling adventurous I would recommend a...

    Chasing a Moose in the Northern Saskatchewan Forest

    Great tips and thanks for the link, AlaskaHunter! Good idea with putting the lake downwind, as well. Definitely wouldn't have thought of that… So if you were me would you stake out a moosey-looking spot downwind of a lake and call there a couple of days? How long would you go before moving on...

    Looking for new bino harness need suggestion!

    I have the Kuiu harness and it is a pretty slick piece of kit. Low profile, lightweight, outside pockets (a bit snug at first but they work in), and it holds snug, doesn't bounce, can be opened and closed with one hand. Love it. They have a new, matching rangefinder pouch now which clips to the...
