    Anyone else freeze drying?

    Yellow is rated for gas, if you have a choice between blue and yellow, get yellow.

    I would say no. At least my medium is not big enough.

    This video explains it. When you finally get a hold of harvest right, they'll tell you to do this step. I didn't rewrap mine because I just warm up the sensor when I get a vacuum error. It is dumb that with how much these things cost, and they still have some kinks to iron out. He removed the back, left and top panels. I just removed the top and back panels to achieve the same results.

    I had to pull off the shroud. The vacuum sensor freezes up. When you get the error code, rub it with your hand or hair dryer, itll kick over in a few minutes. Also, the drain valve should be replaced with a higher end valve.

    We've been doing whole meals for a couple months now. They turn out pretty good. My daughter has celiac, so finding a place she can eat on the road can be a pain. Now we take FD meals on the road and good to go. My kids love grapes, strawberries and pineapples as a treat.

    Hunters Safety Field Day?

    The problem is, adults who hunt out of state are still required to get hunter education. The ethics class does nothing for an adult who want to meet out of state requirements.

    Phoenix Suns Parking

    We were doing the rail for D Backs games. Some days it was fine, others it was wall to wall packed. We drove to a suns game 2 weeks ago and parked south of case field for a reasonable price. Plus the kids liked walking by chase field with all the world series banners.

    Name That Gun.

    I had a friend make some conicals for me, but they didn't work out. I just stick with round balls now. I would love to get another .44 in the walker model.

    I got one years ago at a pawn shop for like 50 bucks. I want to take javelina with it but haven't had the chance.

    Double Down

    So this year I found out I had drawn a tag like everyone else after the 3rd round of card hits. I was already making plans for other things in September because no one I knew drew a tag. But come to find out, not only did I draw, but so did my work partner for the same hunt. So the planning began. Over the last 10 years I have done everything I could to help friends and family on their hunts and to learn as much I could. And it definitely paid off. Opening morning we were able to call in this dink for my buddy. At 25 yards he was able to knock the wind right out of him. He ran maybe 80 yards and piled up. That night we hiked his elk out and I went back in Saturday morning. I had several close calls, but couldn't seal the deal. One was my target bull that will probably haunt my dreams. I had him at 37 yards but couldn't get him to step out from behind a tree. He decided I wasn't sexy enough and returned to his cows and out of my life. Sunday morning came, and now I had 2 buddies to help. It was a fun day with several passes and almosts. One stand we had a small 6 come in, when a wolf about 200 yards behind us starts howling. That bull cleared the country. But I was going to pass on him anyways. Later that evening we set up on higher ground when an elk bugled below us. We gave a couple soft calls and he came in hot on a run. When he got to 22 yards I made my shot. He ran down hill where he took his final breaths. I had a lot of folks give me solid advice before this hunt and thanks to them we had an amazing time. I definitely would not have got it done without them.

    I had the timing get off on a 1860 army, it exploded in my hands. That shoot will shake you up a bit.

    Double Down

    There are actually several operations around the state that have them now. But these llamas are my friends, and they got them from all over the west. My llamas aren't old enough to pack yet, next season. Actually, I just looked you up, that white one was purchased from you.

    No, he came back after taking the meat to my walk in cooler. So he was there to help pack out mine. It worked out pretty well.
