    SOLD/EXPIRED Firstlite Nemo Stalker 0 degree bag

    He's on the Northwest side of Puget Sound, near Sequim and Port Angeles. If you look at a map of Western Washington, there's a peninsula bordered by Puget Sound and the Hood Canal called the Kitsap Peninsula. He's on the North end of that.

    SELLER: PatriotHenry

    @PatriotHenry is a great seller to deal with. Reasonable to work with, responsive, communicative, and goes out of his way to give the buyer a great experience. Highly recommend and can't speak highly enough about my experience.

    Monstrous blacktail taunting me

    Yep. See this guy regularly in my yard in Lake Forest Park, WA. He's just starting to come into his prime as he was just a forky last year.

    Single digit E.S. dont mean squat.

    I'm not here to argue. I gave an expert opinion and stand by that opinion. ES tells me nothing about how I should expect a load to behave and SD does. We disagree and let's just leave it at that. Sorry you feel attacked.

    Single digit E.S. dont mean squat.

    Generally, that should be true, but with ES, you could get into a case of chasing your tail. The tails of the distribution are always what we in statistics call long. This means that they extend way off into eternity in both directions. Just by random chance you could get a speed somewhere in...

    Single digit E.S. dont mean squat.

    I know what you are trying to get at, but ES is not the measure that will get you there. ES is only the tails of the distribution, the extreme ends. No matter what distribution we look at (normal, Poisson, Negative Binomial, Gamma, etc.) the tails all have extremely low probability of...

    Single digit E.S. dont mean squat.

    I've had too much going on at work to really contribute here much lately, but this seems a topic where I can without too much brainpower expended. @QuietTexan is right about sample size and I can see where @Culpeper was going, but I don't think the details are quite right. If we assume that...

    What type of shelter do you use most often for backpack hunting during rifle season?

    Exactly what @3chester said: Mountain Safety Research. They make a lot of backpacking gear and probably some of the best snowshoes around. The Zoid series of tents from MSR are based on the same series from Walrus. One man bivy up to two man two-pole side entry non-freestanding tents that are...

    What type of shelter do you use most often for backpack hunting during rifle season?

    That picture was from about two years ago. I was reminiscing about my old tent and brought it out for an October hunt in Northern Washington. It handled the snow, but there was a bit of a sag in the middle every morning until I could push the snow off. MSR bought Walrus, so some of those old...

    1 person+gear 4 season tent/shelter deciding

    You might look at a Marmot Fortress UL 2P tent. I have the regular version (which adds about a pound to the weight). It's a two midget tent that is a hybrid 3 season4 season tent. Less mesh and stronger poles than a 3 season, but less weight and smaller poles than a true 4 season tent and all...
