Tastes a lot like pork. I have not processed a kitty for consumption, a neighbor across the canyon dispatched one last year and grilled some up (after freezing for precaution). IIRC, a high-ranking CA Fish and Game Official came up to Idaho a few years ago for a legal hunt and dined on Cougar...

We bat the cycle for hunting, that's the lion's share of our protein, plus depredation. Almost all is taken on our property, but I'm currently hunting down a cougar that's been hanging too close to the livestock.

My Rubicon has a Bullydog GT tuner installed that recalibrated the speedo for me (35's/ 3.5" lift), in addition to other goodies. A LEO buddy clocked me and it is right on target. I've never calibrated my 2dr from stock to 35's since rarely does it leave the mountain. But sure enough, they got a...

Here's a start, I couldn't get on the BLM site. if you read up on the Lost Coast Trail, they explain trailheads and campgrounds for the area. The week became a hat trick of fun for us- a few days of mtn biking Paradise Loop, then driving the backroads over to the start of the LC trail to hike...

All doors come off of rigs, it's just a question of how easy they are to get off and on. Sorry, couldn't help myself. :grin:

With dogs and/or boyfriend, it's in the JKU and AC is on. If it's just me, no A/C, doors off with bimini top in the 2 dr JK. A/C stuffs me up.

Self inflating mattress pad with a sleeping bag "quilt style" draped over me or in the case of snow cave camping I switch to 1-2 closed cell/absolute foam pads for better heat retention.

I always liked heading up towards the Lost Coast area. There's a great mtn bike loop called Paradise Royale west of Garberville that is right on some great backcountry rds accessing the various trails on the Lost Coast.

I wrap the flashlights with glow tape. Before we got solar in the cabin it was handy to see where a flashlight, etc. was in complete darkness and that carried over into backpacking/camping.

The -30 bags are bit excessive for the majority of exploring i do in the Idaho Rockies, but were "free" as part of a trade a few years ago. I thought they'd be ridiculous, but these Marmots weigh less than than my 15F bag. -7F is the coldest I've used them and I rarely crawl inside, just use it...

I I'll be floating in and out of that run as well, grabbing a few segments with the Northern ID NWOL posse and hitting up parts of the with the Treasure Valley crew in Aug.

For some reason my legs never get cold, I wear them snowshoeing even. But then again I'm from Northern MN, so it may be a nordic thing. But with a -30F bag I've never been cold sleeping.

Yoga pants and a long t-shirt, usually a beanie in Winter. Between middle of the night fire tone-outs or running outside to scare off/dispatch livestock predators, I just always wear something I can fly out of bed in. It just carries over on the trail. I carry 15F degree bags May-Sept and -30F...

We call those "Idaho County" racing stripes around here. :smile:

Resurrecting an old thread. We've put this thing through the paces. I've been using the GB40 for 5 months now and it's never failed me. I've jumped close to 2 dozen rigs without a hiccup, mostly full size trucks in below freezing temps. Yesterday, we revived our old feed/hay hauling rig (96...

I love the aluminum crossbar idea; small light and flexible, adding a platform in my case would be a win-win. I have a hyper black lab/border collie that only chills when she can curl up in a high cozy place, and the 700lb yellow lab could snuggle up with me on the "lower" bunk. Strong work!

I scored this Advanced Elements yak for free a few years ago. It stows nicely on the hitch rack of my 2drJK and on the rack of the 4dr. This is paddling out to a favorite campsite on the islands of Ely Lake, Northern MN. Being an avid kayak surfer back on the Central Coast of CA, I thought I'd...

+ another for the Pulaski. My boyfriend is retired Fire and we're on the VFD, so he equipped all the rigs for tone outs, but we use them almost daily. Multiple uses and comes in handy for snow recovery as well. I thank Ed Pulaski every time I use it, a real hero and legend.

We love Byte Tytes. We live on back forest roads and there's always trees down going to town, so saws are a common piece of equipment in/on rigs. My buddies use them on their trucks and UTV's without a hitch, one even rolled and his Stihl was still in place. Lately around here genny's...

I modified a Sawyer Mini to be an inline filter hooked between " clean" and "dirty" water bladders, fairly fast and light. If it's for a large group I made a gravity feed filter out of two stacked 5gal buckets and three Berkey ceramic filters mounted between, I can get over two gals/hr with...
