I have been skimming through their website for a few days now unaware of her condition. I took notice of a great set of pictures capturing the couple in the 50s and in the late 90’s I thought to my self what a beautiful partnership.
my condolences and prayers of confront to the family.
in reply to: Get off your duff and go recruit a new bowhunter #31665Hi all.
I have to say its a pretty good read, while I cant say I’m your stereotypical Millennial new hunter being,a veteran and attending school after my service. I have to say the attention and interest from my hipster classmates has been very positive with many of them wanting also to give hunting a try for the reasons listed.
I feel it is hardest for people who did not grow up hunting to get into it as young adults. So whenever we have a chance to “pay it forward” and mentor a new hunter we would help preserve and strengthen the conservation,tradition and all the other great things that hunting provides.
in reply to: Mountain Cuisine? #63753I will add a little trick I learned while serving in the IDF if you get canned fish in oil you can ad a layer of TP to the top and light it. The oil will burn giving you a make shift light source and a tasty poor mans smoked fish meal.
I’m guessing the smell of cooking Tuna would make great bear bait also 😉
Another trick I learned from the bedouin trackers I worked with was the consumption of warm tea on hot days, they said its easier on your body to save energy as it doesn’t need to spend more energy warming up the liquid to your body’s temperature.
I’m not sure if there is any science based behind this but I found it useful at the very least fun and interesting from a anthropological stand point. 😀
in reply to: Looking for a mentor Oregon. #63560Thanks I have contacted the Trad clubs in Oregon all real good people who have given me great advice in record time! unfortunately I will missing the meet ups this spring because as I will be back in Israel finishing school 🙁 But I’m very excited to spend summer and the fall hunting season learning from such a good group of people.
You all were right when you said the Trad community was different!
in reply to: Mountain Cuisine? #40342All real great advice. I will throw in my two cents.
I like to plan for the region I am in. While in the desert like here in Israel my food tends to be higher in salt,olives hold real well and are really high in easy to digest fat,as well as canned or dried fish like Tuna or Sardines I like Sardines more now due to the lower mercury levels. Dried fruit hearts of palm and nuts can keep you going for days. I try and stay away from meat in the very hot climates because I personally feel it keeps me a bit lighter on the feet, and I don’t feel the need to feel as full.
While back home in the pacific northwest I turn to more stew based camp meals that are rice or buckwheat based I found buckwheat cooks allot faster then rice, Onions and dried mushrooms keep real well for longer treks and taste great in a stew or to be added to some game on the skillet.
as always supply of snickers peanut butter and jerkey is always good to have stashed Just in case.
Hope that gives you some more ideas !
enjoy
