I was fortunate enough to get some leave and head up to Washington for my very first time. I hunted with my best friend Addicted in the Boulder Wilderness area for bear. It was a steep assent but worth the views. Thought we spotted a bear as soon as i pulled out the binos but it was a very convincing cave. Didnt get to shoot anything but it was a spectacular trip. I may have fallen in love with the Pacific Northwest.

Nothing spectacular.  Wanted to bump this thread more than anything.

I found a pretty good spot to set up camp in Idaho this year. Rain was in the forecast,  so this log and a good angle on the tarp provided a good dry place to stay.

Extra tarp is worth its weight in gold.  This DIY tarp(similar to the Kifaru Sheep Tarp) weighs 7 oz not counting cordage.  Spent 4 days in a soak in early September.  Dry space outside the tent is needed.  Great for changing out of soaked cloths, and having a space to lay them out instead of piled on top of each other, eating, getting out of the rain for a minute but staying in wet cloths, etc.  I have also pulled it down and taken it with me to set it up where I was hunting.

I still have this setup, but have switched to a hammock.  Excellent storage space underneath, can sit comfortably, no constant turning after a side goes numb, and my main reason ... no more searching for flat spots.

put bells on it so when a bear hits the ropes the dinner bell rings? What does it do? seems like a grizz wouldn't be phased by something like that? I am intrigued

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield
