yes, this is a major reason I'm asking the question... riding w/ a pack on doesn't seem like the best strategy so was curious as to where people ended up. Seems like there ought to be a non-trailer solution with some type of front+rear racks?
For probably 90%+ of my use case, there are decently...
Amazing... exactly the kind of info I was looking for. Interesting to hear prefer full suspension... so many of the "gravel" and "bikepacking" advertised bikes are no suspension or at most front suspension.
What bike are you using now? I'm curious if the cheap walmart special bikes hold up to...
I searched and didn't see any threads dedicated to this topic... let me know if I missed them! I'm curious who uses a mountain bike to get into non-motorized access areas and what your setup is like?
A lot of the area I hunt in Oregon is private timberlands open to public, non-motorized access...
I finally got around to checking trail cams at the farm. They'd been soaking since before I killed my buck in late October. The rut brought a lot of never-before-seen bucks cruising through the farm, which was pretty cool to see. Next year I'll be putting in for a tag that will allow me to hunt...
Thank you!
oofta, yeah I'm hooked for sure!!!

We woke up early and went straight back to the cut where we had the bull the night before, arriving just before shooting light.
Over the next hour or so, Thomas let out a number of locator bugles, but all we got in return was silence.
We did eventually spot a few cows feeding in the...
Day 3
We woke up on Day 3 having heard some bugles throughout the night and into the early morning from what sounded like the creek bottom in the cut below camp.
Thomas and I formulated a plan to go after these bugles but were quickly thwarted by the wind. Calling an audible, we went around to...
This past September I got to tag along on my first-ever archery elk hunt with my new friend Thomas of Chasing Roosevelts Outdoors. I offered to film his hunt for him in exchange for letting me tag along, ask questions about elk hunting, and generally learn as much as I could. Needless to say, as...
