Big bill wool pants are priced decently

The 1st practical and successful auto loading rifle. About 127,000 made before being discontinued in 1950 by Remington. The great Remington 8 and Model 81 autoloading rifle by John Henwood is a book with all the history,production numbers,different grades, and more.

If it was hitting too far left or right which sight would you have adjusted,front or rear?

I have watched your videos, but this is the first podcast I have listened to. I appreciate the laid back energy. Very down to earth and relatable. The opposite of commercial. I really enjoyed you sharing your love for the outdoors with the rest of us. Shot my buck on October 19th in Vermont. It is indeed a LONG 11 months.

Always enjoy your podcasts. I’m stuck in the middle of the grind myself. 35 years the same job…it’s paid the bills and ive worked out a decent hunting week every year and Mondays to hunt archery in October and November. It’s a tough balance for sure but I’m grateful I’m not in debt and have enough to be able to have a camp and some nice hunting things. Grateful for a wife that never ever complains about how much time I scout and spend in the woods or the money I spend to allow me to prepare for every season. In the end finding the things to be grateful for helps immensely when you’re “in the grind”.

What do you think about the new Filson wool products (ca. post 2022 or so) including all the Cruisers, that are made from imported rather than US wool? It feels much less substantial to me. It's no longer Pendleton, from Italy many say, but importantly it is not boiled...so the weave is not as tight. Any thoughts on these newer Filson wool products? Thanks.

As a Vermont I try to support vt co. Darn Tough are very good, minus 33 from Nh are ok and Fox River for me are the best of the three hands down. Have people I know that work for Darn Tough in Northfield vt about 7 miles from my home, they make a good sock no doubt. I'm a wool guy top to bottom period and 18" LaCrosse Rubber boots 👢 I'm 70 years old and still going 🤙🙏🇺🇸🦌🇺🇸 Folks get out there and do some Coyote hunting and save a few Deer 🦌 Good Luck in the Great outdoors!! Like allways that Vermonter!!

1/2 Yesterday, other 1/2 today, Great video! Thanks guys!

Fantastic podcast guys lots of people don’t look outside of the box most of us lived in . Myself stayed in with same job for 45yrs. Wasn’t my dream job but paid the bills and now I’m retired and life is good

I am slowly catching up. Once again you touched on so much subjects that I think about often. Sometimes I can’t put it into words but you guy do a great job. Really enjoyed it. I also share your fascination with old deer hunting and camp stories. Our Christmas gatherings also end up with the guys talking about the past season and even with that some are no longer with us. Also laughed about the wife walking away when talking about hunting to someone in the stores or out and about.😂 Regards Mark

Enjoyed both of your takes on life. Retirement is good, hunted almost every day.

Another fantastic podcast. I’m a little behind, but listening to this while I wait for a flight at JFK. As odd as it may sound your podcast feels like home. LOL Enjoyed the discussion. Regards Mark

Great podcast fellas, if you’re interested in a book on effort give “Grit” by Angela Duckworth a read. Great book 📖

Learning and hunting definitely go hand in hand. Hunting is a series of "learning opportunities". Once you make enough hunting mistakes you get better. Just when I think I've made all of the mistakes, I still manage to find another 😂. However, at my advanced age, I tend to not make the big mistakes. Thanks for the great podcast!

You guys are great so much I have experienced, by the way feel the same of darn tough socks, have bought many but aren’t the most comfortable, I wear merino all year but most comfortable socks are Bombas don’t last real long but also replace them for free

Mark n Paul ,this podcast has great merit ,,it reminds of the reason I started fishing lol ,,,I finally found one thing that could happen by chance ,,no planning it out ,,just that it is ok to wear my wool socks all year long lol ,,and let them fish bite my hook when they want to.

Great talk fellas! Funny, Mark and I have the same philosophy/ clost to same age And you Paul, think like my son. You are both right Thx for the great show

Great podcast you are both 100% spot on. And your dad is 100% right about the golden handcuffs

I'd be interested in a chat about your cabin. How did you come upon it? Did you build it? How many acres? What type of maintenance and projects do you have planned? Just general chit chat about the place.

Another great podcast. I took my golden handcuffs off almost two years ago. Best decision I ever made. I was passed over for the freedom award as well, if that makes you feel any better. lol.

Did you guys get out for some yote calling yet? Sometimes that can cure the winter blues. Two have been taken not far from your studio :)

with all the information between you two you both would make great guides for anyone unsure of your area

The risk you take is different for each person, but the more risk you take and if your determination and ambition is there with it, you’ll eventually come out of top. Though it is harder the older you get especially if you have a family and responsibilities. When you detach from the societal grind and your own your own, it makes life feel so much different and the opportunities are endless . It’s great to see two generations discussing this, I do agree corporate has changed a lot. The instead of retiring from work, I like to look at it as to find something to retire to. It’s also much different times now , and many people will take security over freedom. The freedom seems risky and an unknown land but for the ones who live in that free mind never look back. Personally I went on my own at 24 and I wish it was earlier. My parents upbringing totally different mentality, they took pride in their jobs so quitting wasn’t ever on their minds. I’m curious on them gloves I’ll need to check them out, but socks those Hollow alpaca socks are amazing especially for those of us that have sweaty feet! Breath better than wool

Chokes me up , all of it . Miss you, dad . Thank you both , Paul and Mark ! On my own in the woods these days . I get outside . It absolutely is good for my soul . Please dont stop doing what you do ....Thank you ..

FYI Benoit Guns were 760 Carbines Larry had a 30-06 ,while Lanny Lane & Shane had .270's

I can only hope that I can enjoy the outdoors with my Son when I am your fathers age.

Where can a guy get one of those moe hats

being a south paw, that was the first rifle i got.

Toasted sourdough? 😉Kids are going to be jelly when they see this!

Does the jacket fit true to size, considering I typically wear XL in other jackets, and given that I've never worn a wool jacket before and am unsure if it will be tight or allow for layering underneath?

I have a 16 year old Woolrich 24oz hunting coat I bought new. Hunt with it every year. Have to leave it unbuttoned while hiking to my blind or I’ll sweat like crazy. Still looks new. Still wears amazing. Too bad Woolrich stopped making it. I’d buy a backup in a heartbeat.

Thanks for recording & sharing this. We bought a property in central Maine and it's covered in moose sign. I heard this near our cabin the week after closing and I was wondering what it was. I eventually found a mention of the sound in a Canadian hunter blog. Your's is the first audio of what I heard that I've come across.

#50 - way to go!

Awesome video buddy thanks for sharing

A great video! Thank you for sharing

Thank you both for sharing. Since 1954 our camp members have enjoyed the tradition of toasting our sandwiches over a fire during our hunt and glad to see others enjoying the same trail magic. Hope you all have good health during 2025 and more great memories next deer season.

Wonderful video, enjoyed that walk in the woods with time out for a trail lunch and a warm sandwich. Happy New Year.

Food is always better over a open fire. May be in our minds but is sure good.

Can you charge that using a gas generator

Hey Paul if you go to Walmart don't go to the hunting department for your SD cards or anything go to the electronics it's half the price and works just as good I went there the other day to buy a SD card reader the one in the hunting Department was like 50 bucks I went into electronics and bought it for 18 I mean it's in my pocket it's not going to get wet or anything it's just reading SD cards it doesn't have to be nothing fancy so I bought the one in the electronics I know I'm not telling you anything that you don't already know but you can get one for any phone

Til next season fellas - stay healthy and safe in '25!

Enjoyed another one. Thx fellas

Coal cracker bushcraft makes some fine wool socks and gloves as well

I get a kick out of you guys toasting your sandwiches in the field. Pray for peace and another great season in ‘25. 🙏🏽

That deer blind looks like a good spot to call for yotes. Hope you do some videos on your calling efforts too. I would love to help with that endeavor. Whack em and stackem....isn't that the saying?

Yu know it’s getting below 0 when the snow squeaks under your feet

Thanks for another year of fun. Sounds like you guys should start hunting some yotes.

Nice Video! Thanks for sharing! Happy New Year!

Now thats a winters day well spent!
