Hi DJ, welcome to the site. You’ll get lots of good advice here to be sure. Look up advice for tuning and stand close until you get the hang of it. Look up videos by Moebow, Jeff Kavanaugh and others on youtube. Keep it fun. Dwc

Smith, the philosophy is in the thought of who thi ks what is needed and in that the difference between needs and wants. It could either leave you feeling over burdened or cold and wet.

Personally, I like to read about the items for preparation. I’ve always been guilty of carrying too much stuff and still on occasion being wet! dwc

On someone’s recommendation here, I bought Hatchet for my son. He started, then had to put it down for required readings in school. The other night I saw him reading another copy, as a school assignment, so I picked up his copy off the shelf. Great read. Only about half-way through, but really good stuff. Thanks, dwc

Clay, nice, to the point. I also like how didn’t just assume we’d all have and old beer bottle laying around. Very generous of you. Dwc

Paleo,

Just doing what you are doing puts you way ahead of nothing! I think push-ups are the gold standard of the basic body weight exercise. I bought a bowfit a few years ago and it was the best $25 spent. Easy to use, easy to adjust and comes with an illustrated card of exercises. I recently made a chin up bar with a piece of old shovel handle to add into the mix too. I like to workout at home. Fold a few socks, do a set, fold a few tee shirts…. Have fun. Dwc

Flat out beautiful. Talk about a variety of wildlife. Here, it’s pretty much whitetails and squirrels. There are some rabbits and grouse, but you have to look hard for a place to find them. Very nice, Smithhammer. Dwc

We didn’t make it as far south as we would have liked. We just ran out of time. My friend ended up being sick a good bit, due to a cat scratch he got at home before the trip. We did a trip down on straight along the coast, a 24 hour trip on a Navimag boat. Interesting time. We saw stars like I’ve never seen here, not in terms of being reversed, but for brightness and clarity. dwc

Thanks for posting the wolf howl. Really appreciate it. What was in Chile? I spent a few weeks there, including a hike up Villarica. Beautiful country, beautiful. dwc

in reply to: Silencers (or the lack thereof) #13131

Steve, Based on very limited experience, the Heterodyning just didn’t do a thing for me. The silencers work, I’m assuming they do, because I never shot without them. I like the tuning tips. thanks, d

Cameron, that’s a beautiful view. You are fortunate to have that.

Steve, we’re still burning and will be for a while. Snowshoes still make a better hike, but we’re getting close to putting them away. I have some trees down, but nothing even cut, let alone split. I really look forward to the peeper this year. Two definite sounds of spring are the peepers getting ready for summer and the saw getting ready for winter. best, dwc

Every now and then it’s good to take a look around to keep your perspective. This is a great place to connect with folks with their hearts and minds in a good place. You can also count on folks to respectfully speak their minds. Genuine feelings, respect and honesty make a good home. Best, dwc

Dave, that tune is a hoot, or a howl, as it were. Coyote shoots are not terribly uncommon out here, but I think guys and girls work pretty hard to connect. Whose the smarter? Dwc
