Your backcountry training regimen
Just returned from an Alaska 8 day backpack hunt. No frills, crappy freeze dried food, heavy pack and conditions changed hourly from fairly warm to ice cold and wet. I thought I did fairly well preparing. For 7 months I hiked 4 miles of up and down hills weekly, did stair climbing 2-3 x's...- RAZ

What were your worst caliber/rifle choices
My worse was a knock off M1 carbine from Big 5 many years ago. The manufacture was out of Texas, Israeli something or other. It never shot straight. No matter what I did. Finally, the bolt fell apart right after shooting one time. Dangerous rifle and unreliable. I still have it. Waiting for... -

What's your go-to Hunting Pack?
I have a 110L Eberlestock dry duffle bag onto an Eberlestock F1 J frame. Not the easiest to retrieve things from as it's just a big duffle bag with top opening only, but I pack the rest of the stuff I need in 20L or 10L dry bags so I can get the stuff i need quickly without rummaging thru that...- RAZ

Your backcountry training regimen
Nice dog. Got 3 myself. Planks are laying prone on the ground. Then rising on your forearms and tip toes and holding that position level, don't hump up your butt. It is a hard exercise imo but it pays big dividends and fast. Google a picture of it. I use to alternate one arm at a time but that...- RAZ

Have property in a Calif ( I know, poor me) county where black bear cannot be hunted. They are thriving there. Ran into 2 on different occasions. One walking up road towards me. I spotted him about 125 yards away and just stood by my truck. Got my phone out and recorded him walking towards me...- RAZ

Leupold VX-3HD vs VX-3i
I have a 25 year old Leupold VX3i 3x9 I think it is. Can't read model# anymore due to wear. I decided to compare side by side with the new L. VX5HD fire dot 2x10. Man, oh man, no comparison. Much better glass and the fire dot is a huge benefit for my tired eyes. the 30mm tube is better then the... -

Your backcountry training regimen
I am prepping for a Spring Grizzly back pack hunt in Alaska taking place very soon. My guide had some suggestions. I have been conditioning by: 15 and 20lb weights for arms couple times a week. 100 stair climbs with 10 Bulgarian split squats x3 twice a week. This alone will get your legs and...- RAZ
