Mobile hunting camp
My wife and I have been considering getting a compact camper set up for a while. The 4 wheel project M is my top contender, but I hadn’t heard of the super pacific x-1 before. @Little Big Man MT Chris Had you looked into the Project M as well, and if so what made you opt for the X-1 instead?- FairWeather

Because Dad did!
I’m really struggling to think of literally ANYTHING. My dad and I have very different tastes, and different passions. He busted his hump to become an M.D. in the 80s, and has developed expensive taste in most things since. Often, he comes across snobbish to me. I prefer the cheap stuff that’s...- FairWeather

ISO Affordable, quality lightweight sleeping bag.
I use the patrol bag when I go camping, and generally I need to open it up because it’s too hot. I never camping in temps below freezing, though. When was in the army, however, I used the full system sleeping in the snowy winter in AK, and it worked great. https://a.co/d/8bp8fq7- FairWeather

Didn’t know! I had only been aware that Jim Bulushi had/has a weed farm near Medford.- FairWeather

School Me on Hunting In Grizz Country
Having about 30 other people with you seems to work well as a deterrent. The only grizzly encounters I’ve had were on JBER. Had one wonder into the next platoon’s patrol base at night, and another time had 2 younger males false charge us at the ammo point. Having a group of a few dozen...- FairWeather

hydrogen power?
It’d be cool if this ever gains traction. I’m still holding out hope that there will be more makers following the Maverick trend and making smaller hybrid trucks (hopefully with a more conventional bed size). My wife & I are pretty set on getting a cab over/slide-in camper & truck, but I want...- FairWeather

Handgun Turkey
That’s awesome lol. I just picked up a Rossi brawler, 45lc/410 single shot pistol, and I’ve been thinking it’d be fun to hunt a turkey with it. Due to the rifled barrel, the shot pattern really opens up past 10yds or so, so it’ll be a challenge! I figure I’ll just carry it while I’m hunting...- FairWeather

Northern lights tonight
No, it’s still snowed in. We were told it doesn’t open until July 4th. Unrelatedly, I tried my hand at hunting some jackrabbits while we were there, too, but no luck this time.- FairWeather

Suggestions for a quail gun?
Are you sure you’ll need more than 2 shots? I have very limited experience hunting quail, but my experience so far has been flushing 0-3 coveys, getting max 2 shots off on any one before they flit away forever. For the sheer joy of using it, I vote sxs- FairWeather
