I hauled water for livestock in southern UT for about 10 years. I had a 220 and 500 gallon tank for my truck. But the most ingenious thing I ever saw was some friends homesteaded nearby and used a waterbed mattress to haul their water. No cumbersome tank to deal with and they'd just roll the mattress up when not in use.

My old phone had a PDF file I had found of a drinker study done decades ago by AZGFD in the Eagletail Mountains. Animals become so dependent on a specific drinker (deer and sheep in particular) that the critters will literally wait there and die at an empty water hole rather than move to one only a short distance away that holds water. So if you do make a drinker in the desert, please check it often for water.

I'm surprised Lisa let's you take him out. Last week I made the mistake of inviting the fabulous Mr B and his understudy, the abominable Ms B on a quick hike. Long story short, yeah he's 100% retired.

Perfect thread, thanks. I'm going to steal away to 21 once it's hot and heavy just to listen to all the bull.

Growing up in AZ, we always told Mexican jokes, love them. Three years ago.i found out I'm half Mexican (mestizo). Still love to hear them as much as ever. When did we forget how to laugh at ourselves?

Stove jack?

I love this forum and have met some great guys I'm humbled to call friends. That being said, there's a handful of posters that make me cringe each time I see their Avatar pop up. I ignore them, take the good with the bad. It's a lot like channel surfing. I see a Biden commercial appear and I move on or just turn the medium off after some jaw clinched grumbling under my breath. Normally I'd be hitting the trails and listening for bugles about now. But after surviving the hottest recorded summer in the valley, my ol lady had a bad accident and I'm homebound with my domestic duties doubled maybe tripled. If you can get out there, enjoy and revel in your freedom in our great outdoors. But don't forget to take pics and notes and share your experiences with us less fortunate souls.

Is the landowner blocking you from a USFS gate? If not you're probably s.o.l.

King of men? That's silly, only King of Men that comes to mind is Christ

Thanks Dusty, you might be right, thought it was off FR414 not near Tonto Bridge. Also try FR441, Marysville Hill

The region around Zane Grey's Cabin is a good place to start. The original location, of course.

Such a common phrase, probably uttered by cavemen.

Go get em, buddy!!!

When I was old enough to be included on dad's big game hunts, he had a partner that often went. His name was Moe and he had some great hunting philosophy to lay down on an eager student like myself. I.E.; "Why lie in wait.... when you can wait and lie?" Moe was morbidly obese, old and bald with a voice like Winnie the Pooh. So I found it absurdly funny one night around the campfire. Everywhere he sat the smoke lofted into his face regardless of the azimuth he chose. He finally just accepted his fate, looked at me down his nose over his glasses and shrugged through the plume and said, "Damned smoke, why must it follow beauty?"

Did it sell?

I'll bite

What other endorsement could I possibly need
