If anyone has been wanting to try it, camofire has some of the SKRE gear up this morning. Hardscrabble line of jacket, pants, and vest as well as merino tops and bottoms. About 40% off.

From reviews it sounds like it runs small, so order big.
SKRE gear review from Rokslide if you guys are interested:

Thanks, and I agree with hunting when possible. This is one of the very few times I can actually pick the week we go hunting, so I started looking into other factors that might affect the timing of our hunt.

Thanks for the discussion.

I could discuss a lot more...but work is actually getting in the way this week.

If you get to pick, I do think the moon is worthy a consideration. I think a good moon during the seeking phase of the rut can make a good hunt a great one. But a full moon all night during the seeking phase can make the hunt frustrating.

Do they have a variety pack?

And bring it...5 mile hike with +/-750ft elevation and 60ish lbs this morning before work. 3D course yesterday. I'm getting there.

.


They do but its chicken and rice, chili Mac w beef, and spaghetti and I'm kinda tired of those. I went for lasagna, beef stew, chicken n dumplings and sweet n sour pork.


Edit... Biscuits n gravy instead of the pork

Not exactly but I averaged around 5.75 per meal... I think. The variety pack is usually 5.30 or so per meal at Academy.

Not terrible, Imo

Never seen that variety. I'll try it if I can find it. I had the pasta primavera recently that was good but it's meatless and too low in cals for the effort. There's a chicken and mashed taters that sounds good but you have to rehydrate the taters separately from the 2 whole breasts... Which themselves are apparently harder to rehydrate. Too much hassle factor. I have Mac and cheese I'm gonna try again. People seems to love it but it was terrible the one time I've had it. High vol and high in cals though. I was real stingy on the water, so that Prob played a role. Crunchy Mac n cheese doesn't even sound good. I've also had the Italian pepper steak which was sort of dissapointing. Everything tastes better after a few days on the mountain. The sweet n sour pork seemed kinda bland as well.

I've rehydrated chicken and mashed potatoes together, and they came out fine.

Chicken a la King is really good as well. REI should have it.

The M&C is really good as well, but you are right, it is super high in calories, mostly carbs.

Some of the Backpacker's Pantry varieties are good as well. Their non-cheese varieties are underwhelming, compared to what they are named and what you think they will taste like, but most of the cheese flavored offering are pretty good.

I've started attempting random "backpacking" meals from ingredients in the grocery store. Ramen bomb turned out OK (too salty) but my quinoa and tuna failed miserably the other day (isobutane stoves don't simmer too well)

I've debated on trying heather's choice, but for the price might just buy a vacuum sealer and use my dehydrator. Something other than mountain house once every few meals would be nice.

My wife wanted to try a few heathers choice last summer and they weren't bad. I didn't get no packaroons cause I'm afraid I'd eat 100$ worth of those on the drive up.

If you can produce a tasty sliced brisket with twice baked taters, you will have my attention.

Deal (on the attempt). I've already got some dehydrated taters. I'll try to pick up a brisket this weekend...so maybe by the end of next week (total guess)

That's a damn good meal idea....

Awesome.

Are there really no Prime dealers in Texas? I'm not seeing anything on their website.

I'll be damned. The Prime website doesn't show that. Scratch that. For some reason it's showing now. Thanks.

One of the trucks I loaded yesterday got hit by a train between then pens and scales. Minor injuries on a conductor but everyone else ok.

Has made for an interesting trip and I'm ready to go home and buy stuff.
