    Spotting Scope preference

    I bought an angled spotter after reading all the threads on this question. I later borrowed a straight and am very upset at my angled purchase. I dislike it so much I hardly ever bring it. I much prefer straight for many of the reasons listed above. It is a pain to fit in the backpack...

    Post Covid and altitude adaptation?

    I was in banging shape leading up to my annual trip to Colorado. I caught the 'rona about a month from my trip, kicked my ass for 10 days but recovered pretty quickly compared to some and was running up until the morning I left. As usual I was a little sluggish the first day or so, but it...

    SpaceX Starlink Internet Service

    Does anybody know of, or can point me towards a true mobile internet solution? I am not trying to hi-jack the thread the folks on this thread would clearly know if anyone here does. The mobile hotspot sucks for speed. I finally got a true work from home(or anywhere job) and would like to...

    I may or may not have...........................

    I may or may not have winged a grackle in my backyard trying to get them to stay off my bird feeder. The grackle may or may not have then flown to neighbors tree and died hanging upside down by one leg. Wife then banned me from shooting squirrels or birds in my .1 acre lot in Chicago suburbia...

    WTS Floorless Shelter - $150

    Just a thought, and free bump. Buy one of the stove jacks for sale from somebody like seek outside or luxe gear and either sew it in, or have a professional sew it in. Not trying to step on toes, just offering an alternative. Happy selling.

    soft-side ice chest.

    Most any cooler of decent design will work for 45 minutes. If you're wanting to carry out one (1) fish I suggest getting something just big enough to carry what you'll catch(don't get a cooler too big). Pre-cool it overnight with the whole cooler in the freezer open to make sure the entire...

    WTB 0 Degree Bag

    Not to derail your thread, but if you're a cold sleeper get a pad with high r-value. This was the single best change I've ever made to my backpacking gear. This goes back to years of whitewater kayaking trips, etc.

    Elk/deer/antelope steaks to baby food?

    I fed my little guy(now almost 4) tons of it when he was a baby. I'd cook ground venison/elk in coconut oil in a cast iron skillet. Kind of low/slow to make sure it was cooked well, but coconut oil kept it from getting dry. Then I'd put it in the vitamix with other vegatables I'd...

    Puffy pants?

    Arcteryc makes some in the atom model(same as the jacket)with a full side zip. I found them on sale some years back. Black is the most available color, but you might find a brown/coyote if you looked really hard. I wear the black ones under my Kuiu attacks. Great pants, i like the synthetic...

    10MM Pistol for Hunting?

    Since OP has made a purchase, and since my question isn't too far off topic... I have both a Kiimber 'Rapide' in 10mm, and the Glock40 MOS(factory sights) in 10mm. I can shoot decent sized groups(for my level of practice), but my Kimber is high/left consistently. I shoot the glock better, and...

    Generator for camper trailer

    Not to derail this thread too much, can you help with a link to this part on Amazon? I'm fairly handy, have installed solar panels system and inverter in my camper so I'm pretty well set for dry camping. But the ability to run AC would be nice on those really hot days. If I get a generator...

    Kodiak Canvas Experiences

    I'll agree with most all of what has already been said. The big downside is the drying out after a trip. I have the cabin version, and I can set it up by myself, but its much easier with two. One person setup takes a while. The awning is nice but I'm not hanging around camp much either. I...
