Weekly Roundup (Aug 25-30)

Hey Anchorage πŸ‘‹

This week’s Roundup is coming to you from a very rainy hunting camp in Trapper Creek, where my Starlink and the weather are currently at odds with one another.

So I’m keeping things a little lighter this week, but I still pulled together a few Top Picks worth getting out for.

In the Roundup this week:
