That Pic with the grass and such looks way different from the pic with you and the Bear after you shot it, I'm confused on the terrain change. How far did you (and Andy) pack it out before the last Pic with the Truck in it?

I highly recommend making it a seasonal habit. It’s like flying first class.

You don't boil in the peroxide? You've stripped it right, just trying to bleach it? I use high strength hair peroxide and boil it in that solution. Interested to see how this turns out with your method.

No, I didn’t boil it. I simmered it in two baths of water with Dawn detergent.
