Don’t forget the Hill People Gear harness bags that have the molle on the front. You can mount pouches on the outside and have plenty of room for various items, including side arm, in the pack itself.

Recovery of those is probably less “offensive” than the gut rocks in a gator.

When I did a multi-week elk trip, it was a Kofaru Duplex frame with AMR bag. The ability to shift weight between hips and shoulders through elevation differentials was a huge deal. Yes, there is a weight penalty with some of the bags of this style, but I later put that setup through the ringer...

Not to ruffle feathers, but guns can be like women. You like them shiny and new-to-you, but the character they develop on adventures by your side adds to their value. We will say nothing of the variety that…don’t.

Super tool 300 has been my go to for a long time. I do with it has a small set of scissors, but I like it well enough to be on my second go around.

Feel free to reach out with details. This may have been tongue in cheek, but I’m not taking the risk. I’d be happy to apply and report back on the state of the operation after a stint as guide.

Lord, have mercy.

An underrated aesthetic, these rifles. I’m not fond of the caliber (no particular reason, just preference), but that seems like a good deal for sure.

Cell service is pretty limited out on the island and it sucks the juice out of the batteries something fierce. I’ll post some pictures from the mainland later. This isn’t a high success rate hunt to begin with, but this year is particularly sparse it seems. We have pleasant weather, so no rain...

We need to start an “old wars” thread so you (and others) can share your family stories. Between the service and the experience with the enfield on the civilian side, I’d bet you could fill a book or two with stories from your family.

I look at those kinds of rifle for their potential, not how they’re currently configured. Very few sporters that I see for reasonable prices are acceptable. They might function just fine, but even a stock swap drastically improves their aesthetics and moderately improves their value. I do like...

Just make another post with pictures. I’ve had to do it a time or two myself.

Flat tire in Alabama on the way to Florida. Got the spare on and made my way to a hotel room surrounded by tire shops and a Whataburger. Praise the Lord, it could have been much worse and I’d be at a motel next to a Burger King.

I’d have been tempted to strap a prop engine to that thing and fly it back home…if you could convince me to leave.

Played roulette on stand choice for the morning, and as it happens, “We’ve seen deer all over, then you guys get here and nobody sees a thing from that stand.” I did come across a lone doe on a walk, then another with a decent buck in tow, but they were moving to quick for me with how much...
