    Everybody is Successful

    Whats concerning isn't the commission voicing their opinion, it's the commission codifying their opinion... Think about that for a minute.

    Lets talk Prime Rib Cooking

    Pick up one of these. https://www.amazon.com/ThermoPro-TP-16-Thermometer-Stainless-Temperature/dp/B017613C3C/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1513791091&sr=8-6&keywords=meat+thermometer Cook at no hotter than 250, 225 might be better but will take longer. Put thermometer in thickest place on roast and cook till it reads 125. Pull and cover with foil, rest till it hits 130. Done. If you use a thermometer you will get it just the way you want it every time. No guessing, no x amount of minutes per pound, no wondering how hot you oven actually cooks at, no mistakes or miscalculations allowed. Some of the better thermometers have wireless transmitters so you can be sitting in your lazyboy watching a movie with the remote next to you. They will beep when you reach the temp you want.

    ISO 1997 to 2001 Jeep Cherokee

    Cherokee, not Grand Cherokee (the boxy XJ body style) He just graduated high school last June so limited budget. $4500 is the upper end. Thanks for the Wrangler lead but he would rather have an XJ. Kingzero, txt inbound.

    LEM Meat Grinder $200

    Just finished up making Elk burger. This was our last jr cow hunt (youngest boy will be 18 next year). Everyone wants a bull tag now! It's probably going to be a while before we get another tag so the grinder is up for sale rather than collect dust on the shelf. Grinder is in great shape. Has worked flawlessly.

    Are you talking about the Sawmill fire last spring? https://inciweb.nwcg.gov/incident/5164/ Doesn't look like the experimental range got hit.

    Last minute advice...

    You trying to kill me? I am allergic to nuts. Just remembered to add epipen to my list. I don't believe you. You've been hanging out on this site for years and there are plenty of nuts here! Glad you remembered the epipen. Epipens are like guns. Better to have one and not need it than to need one and not have it.

    Last minute advice...

    Pistachios. Bring some pistachios. And not the shelled kind. That's cheating.
  16. Buddy of mine runs an outdoorsmans pack. He loves it.
  17. The cargo panel comes with a ton of additional straps and buckles. I use a pair of strap/buckle combo's on one edge of the panel to strap my tripod to. all of the additional straps and stuff get stored in a zippered pouch at the top of the panel. They make a long pocket designed for a spotting scope. I don't have a spotting scope yet so haven't tried it. Another option I almost pulled the trigger on is a Nomad instead of the cargo panel. I didn't know how I would handle packing out meat though. There are enough pals locations on these packs that it probably doesn't matter, you could strap it down. I sound like a Kifaru salesperson. I don't mean to. If I could find something cheaper that would get it done I would.
  18. I run a duplex frame and a cargo panel. I gave up on trying to find a pack that did it all. Either two small for longer trips or to big and bulky to hunt with. I have the cargo panel setup with two medium pouches on the outside and a long pouch on the inside bottom. Sometimes I will also run a large side pouch in the center inside. For backpack hunting or fishing trips I have a large duffel bag that all camp and sleeping gear goes in. The cargo panel straps are opened up and the duffel bag goes against the frame with the panel cinching it down. When I get to camp the large duffel is dropped, the cargo panel is cinched tight to the frame and I'm off hunting or fishing with the same pack I hauled at that gear in with. Cinched down the pack is a small enough package to hunt with. frame, panel, and pockets weigh about 6 lbs (without gear of course). This setup is completely modular. I can mix and match as I see fit to adjust to the trip. The cargo panel can hold securely and tight to the frame more weight than I'm capable of hauling while still carrying my hunting gear in the pockets. I don't like water bladders (make the water taste funny) so the belt has a nagelin bottle and the other side is setup for a gun bearer system. Clothing is shoved between the frame and the panel. I've played around with more pack configurations over the years than I care to admit to. All of them had something I didn't like. This system is perfect. I can honestly say I've found the perfect setup for me.

    Wall tent treatments

    How about a tent that doesn't require treatments? http://www.elkmountaintents.com/ I don't own a wall tent yet and I'm not affiliated with elkmountiantents at all. I've been looking at getting a wall tent though and this one is on the top of the list.
