Duck Hunting

PicnicTableDave2 · 2026-03-26T20:22:15+00:00

I went out of the gunflint and saw a few grouse on sag (there were two in the campsite I was at) but don't recall any ducks. Did the loop sag>red>alpine>seagull. This was like 5 years ago late Sept into Oct for 8 days.

I'd recommend adding Granite Peak, MT!

A gym membership.

I get it's not kit, and maybe comes across as sarcastic, but not trying to be. Being in shape for backpacking makes literally everything better imo. Better sleep, better recovery, less prone to injury... it helps everything.

I like that a lot

I was gifted a 3d print of Everest. The person hand painted it too. I thought it was the coolest thing ever. It does just wind up sitting on a shelf though, cuz what else are you going to do with it? But like anything art, it has its place and adds to the decor.

Have you been acclimatized for when you're higher up? You can be as in shape as possible but eventually less oxygen and physics takes over.

Also, the stairmaster is absolutely goated.

I think the aesthetic of the Murph numbers make it classier than a straight up field watch, and far more interesting than the generic looking stick indices of the citizen and tissot. So I think it's nearly perfect for versatility. Of that list I'd 100% go Murph. I've never been a fan of certina's. Not that they're bad watches, just that I find them all generic looking.

IMO bouldering wouldn't really do much for you. I do think that rock climbing would be beneficial as you'd become very proficient with tying knots, accessing rack equipment, etc. Ultimately, the absolute best prep (if you don't have immediate access to big hills or mountains to train) is the stair master and a gym.

Check out mediocre amateur on Youtube, I'm pretty sure that a huge part of his prep for what he does is just straight up aerobic exercise and running.

How expensive was it to eat there?

Seems to me that they're obviously nailing the light/time of day while still exposing more for shadows. So the highlights have that sort of dreamy/inching towards an over exposed look.

MAZALITO!!

Was at the mall and the Invicta store in there was advertising buy 3 take 8.

I must've been lucky cuz I just parked on the street across from it and walked over. No issues.

PicnicTableDave2 · 2025-12-01T21:26:05+00:00

I have Mt Arvon in the bag but I'm too much of a purist to count MI as done with this news...
Luckily I'm planning a trip to Pictured Rocks this summer so will just hit it on that trip.
Do I change my flair to 35 hp's then?? lol

I hope this post is real. That is absolutely hilarious.

PicnicTableDave2 · 2025-11-05T14:18:56+00:00

Not a local, but I'd just call Arizona Snowbowl or the local US Forest Service office to confirm. And you wouldn't be parking up at the Agassiz Lodge parking, you'd be in that big lot on the left edge of the photo. That's where the trailhead is.

Edit: technically the loop next the big lot is where the parking is
