    Nice glock! The 10 mm is a nice round.

    I ordered my GPS, a new pair of boots, another pair of Sitka pants, a jet boil, and a water purifier today. Its getting closer to that time

    have you tried luckygunner.com? I tend to buy bulk ammo from them and they have about as good of prices as anyone on some of their ammo. some of it can be overpriced though.

    I'm gonna carry a ruger vaquero 6 shooter in a 45 caliber so I can really feel like I'm in the old west

    Is there a free shipping code for this site? that would be awesome. It's gonna cost 14 buck to ship the 2 boxes I want to order. Might just order more to make it worthwhile.

    I ordered 8 boxes to offset the shipping costs... Only way to make ordering ammo online worthwhile

    I went with a cheaper Garmin 62. It cost $169.99. Nothing fancy but should get back to the pickup or to a down elk.

    well i still haven't gotten everything yet but we found out that we qualified for a much better home loan than the FHA one we were going to go with. Basically it means more money in my pocket, which means once we close i can pick up everything i need :D

    I bought the Havalon Piranta on sale for $35 at Black orvis.com

    Still looking for a pack, checking rokslide everyday for a bikini frame T1/T2/High Camp in highlander. I found one in Coyote Brown, but passed on it. Hopefully another one pops up.

    Ive been considering the piranhas for a skinning knife. I have a set that includes a bone saw and caping knife but its added weight that isn't needed

    Can't go wrong with the Havalon. That's all I carry now.

    Matt, I really could not be more ready in my mind, I'm not gonna worry to much on the physical side, I know I'm gonna be ready for this trip, mind, body and soul, come September 18th when I fly out.

    Do any mountain guys have any tips for us flatlanders on altitude sickness?

    Take it easy the first day. Dont take off changing elevation much. Hang out around camp, fish, let your body get adjusted to the higher elevation. Drink lots of water stay hydrated

    Spending half a day taking it easy is much better than taking off hunting hard from the get go and winding up with altitude sickness and having to stay in camp 2-3 days sick and miserable

    What is the altitude at camp? I know drinking a lot of water is crucial.
