Made another nature trip to Montana, but only got to watch elk. Couldn't get a shot. Weather wasn't the best. We had everything from heavy rain to blizzard conditions, but little actual snow. Anyway, couple things I've learned over the years with my P500:
- Bring a cover with you. It will attract less attention on the hill and you'll come back to a dry machine.
- The lower photo shows a couple carabiners we used to tie on our packs and stuff we wanted quicker access to. Too easy for stuff to bounce off on the trail.
- The Cabela's two gun bag is still the best way I've found for carrying the guns. Keeps them clean, dry and very accessable.
- I have a number pouches lashed on for extra water bottles. Put the bottles in them lid down to keep the cleaner. You learn that real fast running around in pastures.
- I've settled in on using a half windshield. Between that and my visor I made a while back we still had good visibility in the blowing snow. Lot less glare than a full windshield. My visor set up works well, but after using it for the last year I'm going to redo with some improvements. I have some more ideas to make it easier to deploy and I want it bigger. It pretty well keeps all but a driving rain out.
