Good to see DAN.......you gotta love it when a plan comes together.

We are going for caribou, but musk ox can be added if we chose to pay for it. We will be eating musk ox and caribou in camp, and I will try to collect some wool while we are there to have some socks made (or buy from a local source). We should see some ox, and that is good enough at this...

Good going Marcus. It should be some fine eating, but expect to have some baulking about doing so. I found that I could serve hamburger or swiss steak to those who said that they couldn't stand the taste of bear (without their ever actually eating any), and they never knew that what they were...

Yup, it should be. We have just about everything prepped, ready, and paid for, including airfare.....now about all we can do is get fit, stay fit. stay healthy. Story and photos to follow in late October.

I had to lay off my pack training for a while because of some mysterious foot pain, but my wife came up with a spot on diagnosis.....I had upped the amount of time in the kayak, and I brace against the footpegs to position my knees into the hull. I only wear neoprene booties that don't provide...

Here's some pics of the flooring project. I didn't take any of the holes and cracks before I patched them, but that was the hardest part of the project. I have moved on to the maintenance staining/sealcoat of my log buildings that require some touchup annually. For exercise, I have been...

I was just going to ask what the hell that last critter was....I thought it was a gorilla with a facial deformity, but a baboon it is. Either way, it doesn't look like anything that I would ever want to go toe to toe with.

I haven't been exercising much after returning from a week long canoe trip. I got all the workouts that I needed then, but have been way too busy fixing stuff this past week. On the positive side, my garage floor repair project is a day after day workout that is finally showing positive...

I keep a battery powered impact wrench and sockets in my truck at all times. It sure makes changing a flat a lot easier. I have only used it on my snowmobile trailer during a trip so far, but is especially handy since the bed overhangs the wheels and using a tire iron or cross wrench is the...

It's an old folks game that is sort of modified tennis...fat people can play too. In retirement communities it has somewhat supplant shuffle-board. I have never played it, but it appears to at least get people out moving around and getting some exercise. I've never played the...

If you can't kill a critter with a rifle that "only" shoots MOA, the it is time to take up Pickle Ball. There's no bullseye on a bull or a buck.

You have a good looking family there Kid!

I did a short writeup on the General or elk link , but I'll update here too. I took the new Titan to WY, and managed to "screw up" my master plan by shooting a bull with it on the first day. It was a spike, but have learned to not pass on an opportunity when it is presented to you...

Is that a hole, or a bunch of holes in one spot? Mallard, I'm not calling you an A-hole. Pretty darn spot on in any case.

Commercial MJ dryer?

Two of us bought Tikka T3 rifles at the same time. I got the 30-06 while he bought a 300 WSM. My ammo was available anywhere and cheap ($18), while his was tough to find and over $50 a box. Now prices have gone up drastically and he had a hard time finding 300WSM.... Luckily he had saved the...

I was finally able to get out on the water between two Canada fishing trips. I dumped it the first two days that I tried to get in it, but finally learned how to shoe-horn myself into it. I have a ways to go before getting my sea-legs, and am far from comfortable enough to go out on Lake...

A grand slam of sheep will likely cost you a good $500 a pound. Excellent dining.

OTC as a resident doesn't hurt too bad, but even a general draw tag as a NR will usually end up costing more than buying beef. My recent tags in WY came to $727 for GEN elk, plus $208 for the points; $303 for the cow tag; $21.50 Conservation license; $75 archery lic. Total - $1334 Add...

Mallard; It's amazing how much green wood can shrink after it dries. I cut 20K bd, ft. of cedar, 10K of white spruce, 10K of white pine, 2K of yellow birch from my previous property. I skidded it all out with my 6x6 ATV, paid to have it sawed, then stickered it in my yard for at least a year...
