MULEPACKHUNTER

Had a nice trip with my wife and some random visitors of friends like Edge, and my buddy Brian who scouted with me all summer. I posted a bunch of trail cam photos earlier and had a bunch more after. We put a lot of effort into a few areas and had some good bucks on a decent pattern. Well as figured the bucks didn’t play well when the time came for live fire. All the same we had a good time with games , food, mule riding, hiking, and had 2 chances at young deer but stuck to the plan. Edge has this last evening so wish him luck. Elk chili with Fritos is Awsome. Monday we had hail and snow and had to boil water to keep the mules watered. What a major bummer we couldn’t run the wood stove, man I hope we get some moisture soon. These dang Arizona deer are kicking my butt.

With the gyms being all jacked up this year I’m very happy it’s hunting season. Should be in decent shape by the end of January. Basically have been in maintenance mode just trying to keep my pant size where it is. Wife and I have been back in the gym a few days a week finally.

So you roll into camp in the dark and we feed you a nice hot roasted chicken dinner and you don’t remember!!! I’ll keep that in mind and give it to the dog next time

Oh and an honorable mention to Edge for the only thing I asked of him, dropped 2,,,,15 gallon water jugs for him to haul in and he shows up with 140 gallons total so it was wild shower parties and fresh water for the mules. Toilet flushed smoothe all week

Don’t forget that whole roasted chicken at 11pm. dang was that good

Ya I forget sometimes until we go back through old photos or sit around a camp fire, That dog has seen most of the wilderness areas in this state and maybe half of the Arizona Trail.

The last major elections I met a lot of guys just outside my circles and a few in that are up over 50 and had never voted before 2016. I would say 50% is pretty sad as a nation, kind of like not having mandatory harvest data. Heck I met a women friend of my wifes a few weeks back and she just got married and does not cook !!!!! Things are not looking up for the future, at least that women voted for Trump (or voted at all I guess)

Looking for a quick replacement pack, looking for a palisade 90 bag only any color. They are backorder for ever.

Carries tree stand quick and easy.

So far I’m liking this pack set up. I really really really like the full length sleeves for tripod etc, on both sides. Only issue so far after 7 days and 20 or so miles is the frame is squeaking. Driving me nuts !!!! Any suggestions??? If I crank down the cheat strap it goes away but long term going to need to dry lube the connection points or something.

Any interest in a Holly 750 double pumper. Came off a 396 1969 ss el Camino

Not much of a showroom. Looked like they were doing some construction maybe but ya I’m guessing they don’t do much in person sales. Spent a total of 2 minutes and saw everything. They have stuff in the back and will let you test anything you want just not much window shopping.

Ended up making the drive to fountain hills and grabbed an OD green palisade 90. They had a few in stock now. I took a buddy with me to check the shop out but nothing to see there, empty lobby with a desk basically. Quick and easy now to test this thing out

You can get out just roll all the way up to the main gate and it opens automatically. They can ticket you if your not camping or paying for camping. I received a few warnings on my window last year but that’s it.

whats the youtube channel? Its blocked for me but ill check it out at home

great shots

Ya its a bummer this year, setting up the wall tent next week and not even bringing the wood stove. No dutch ovens either. piled up firewood all year planning for these fall trips. Oh well at least everyone is safe so far I guess.

Cool deal man congrats to you guys

That’s a good one

I forgot my pack the other day and was hauling salt so just tossed 50lb bag in a 10 dollar duffle and slung my arms through the carry handles, haha not very comfy but made a few miles with it.. anything will work so don't sweat it too much.

sssswwwweeeet

The circulation is better but my big high end unit doesn't circulate and its been great for 13 years. Heck you could just try it in your oil. No reason it shouldn't work as well or better than water as long as the temp is right. oil aint going to hurt the freezer bag. I doubt that temp controller is going to kick on within 2 degrees though. Im guessing 10 to 15 drop then it will kick back on and most likely over temp it.

One thing not mentioned I do a lot with this method is take a whole roast frozen and toss it in the machine in the morning and let it ride all day. At dinner time just sear it off hot and slice and serve. Nice and easy. Another fun one is to take frozen steaks and toss them on the smoker for an hour then bag them up and sous vide them for another 2 hours at 129 then sear them off and serve, that one is really good.

That will do the same thing as long as it will hold the temp where you want it. Anywhere from 120 to 165 I started out using this method with a cast iron pot and the oven. I just put temp probe in the water and kept an eye on it, when the temp started to get lower I would kick the oven on for a few minutes then turn it back off. Not as easy but the same thing. I catered a party and did 4 whole fillets in my sous vide machine and then transported them to the party in a cooler with 132 degree water in it. An hour later it was still 129 and worked out perfect. As far as cost I bought my first machine 13 years ago for 459.00 so todays 119.00 units are much more affordable. I still use my original unit.

I would look for a machinist that might have a thread file set. with those fine threads probably just have some light deformation that could be coaxed out by hand. I would think maybe outdoorsmans might be able to hook you up with the shop they use. They make some rally fine threads on some of their parts.
