    Electrolyte Powders to take along

    Let me add... I am not posting the article to compare hunting to an athletes intense training, apples to apples. Instead I read the article and looked at rough percentages of minerals lost in sweat instead of the actual numbers quoted. LOTS of good information.

    Electrolyte Powders to take along

    I know this thread isn't about intense exercise, but this is an interesting read about minerals lost while sweating and mineral depletion. (alternately "Why water is not enough") This massive loss explains why water alone often fails to restore proper hydration after heavy sweating...

    Must see in Calgary?

    The times I was there for work, I always tried to make the drive drive west to visit Banff and Lake Louise. No hunting shops, but some of the most amazing places I've ever been.

    The Problem With A Globalisation

    Just got off the phone with Mr. Keith. He told me there will be a new website coming because of the problems with the old one. I had e-mailed my order then confirmed and paid by phone. In addition, as some have mentioned, the prices have gone up a bit. I ordered a canvas cartridge slide...
