Why my knife matters more than my gun

It took me a few seasons to realize my hunting knife is just as important as any tag or rifle. From clean field dressing to cutting rope or even making camp lunch—your blade does way more than you think. Precision and durability matter when you’ve got meat on the line. If your knife can’t hold an edge, you’re in for a frustrating time. Got a go-to knife you swear by? #hunting #outdoors ##huntingknife #huntinggear

We talk hunting, but trapping made me better

Last winter was only my third trapping season, but I learned more in that cold week than I have in some entire deer seasons. Setting cable restraints, reading subtle signs, hiking two miles daily just to find a knocked-down set or one stubborn raccoon—it forced me to slow down and really understand how animals move. Trapping sharpened my patience and totally changed how I read the woods. It’s way more technical than I expected, but also incredibly rewarding. I still love hunting, but trapping taught me a different kind of discipline. Curious how others compare the two—what’s been more valuable for you? #hunting #trapping #outdoors

Why Northern New England is underrated for hunters

Just moved to NH and honestly blown away by how hunter-friendly it is up here! 🦌 No draw systems (except moose), your license includes tags, and here's the crazy part - you can hunt anywhere that's not posted. Most big landowners don't even post because they get tax breaks for keeping land open! Yeah the deer density isn't like down south, but these northern bucks are MASSIVE. Plus I can hunt Maine, NH, and Vermont all for under $500 total. Even as a non-resident, Maine is only $150. Been living near Boston for work and driving up weekends. Best of both worlds - decent job market but incredible hunting access. The tougher hunting just makes it more rewarding when you connect. Anyone else hunting this region? The lack of red tape is refreshing compared to other states. #Outdoors #hunting #newenglandhunting #newhampshire #maine #publiclandhunting

Do you have a regular hiking group?

Do you prefer to hike alone or in a group? I like to go out with a group of people, although I need to take care of a lot of people's schedules, but the feeling of talking and laughing together on the road is really great! I'm in charge of the mood in our team, hahaha, because I'm very optimistic 🤭 What about you guys, do you have your own position in the team? #Outdoors #Hiking #team

Hiking in Diapers

I have a long hike coming up, the whole thing is very intense and the place is especially environmentally conscious. But I had to solve my own potty problem, I guess, and then I noticed my son's diaper and grabbed one to try. Er~ it's a bit small So I went to the store and bought an adult model. Let's get used to wearing diapers for the next two days. But there's no way I can just pee without taking off my pants right now 😫 Can someone help me break through the mental barrier! Please help ahhhhhhh! #Outdoors #Hiking #Diapers

Outdoor sports quick-drying hat: fisherman's hat or duck tongue hat?

Hiking hat, certainly choose lightweight, breathable ah, and now a variety of brands with the same price are doing a lot worse. The next is the difference between the cap type ~ Do you prefer fisherman or duck tongue cap? I've been wearing Outdoor Research from Seattle for a while now, and I feel pretty good about it. But I accidentally lost it on my last hike, so I'm thinking of buying a new one and considering a different hat style? Any recommendations from those who usually wear the fisherman hat type? #Outdoors r #Hiking #quick-dry hat #fisherman hat

Wild climbing at night | The route is simple, but the fear is overwhelming.

It was my first time experiencing wild night climbing. I chose a simple route, but I was fully concentrated. Even though the temperature was only a few degrees at night, I was sweating profusely. #Outdoors #Climbing #Nightlife
