    REI Groundbreaker Insulated Jacket $23.83

    Just got back from a 4-day defensive handgun class out at Front Sight. Used this jacket on the last day when the temps were in the mid 30's in the morning along with a Patagonia expedition weight fleece shirt. Jacket was a game changer. was super warm and the cut while not super baggy, made...

    REI Groundbreaker Insulated Jacket $23.83

    Ordered one of these the other day and it arrived today. For $24 it's pretty much a no brainer. Not many sizes left today when I checked. I ordered the Army Cot Green color. If you're on a budget and looking for a no frills, decently warm and packable jacket and haven't drank the Kool-Aid...

    Got to help a friend on his ranch slaughter a few cattle.

    Just made some tacos from the tongue. Cooked the tongue in an Instant Pot with an onion, carrot, salt, pepper and water. Peeled off the skin after cooking and shredded it like pork.

    Got to help a friend on his ranch slaughter a few cattle.

    Pretty much exclusively grass fed, hence it being quite lean. A couple of the cows had fat that was more yellow colored than the other two who had a whiter colored fat. I thought that had to do with a grain fed vs. grass fed cow, but the gentleman who was there slaughtering the cows mentioned...

    California Hunters? Where you at?

    Interesting, I've considered moving Southern Oregon as well, but I'm stuck here for 2 more years for grad school. Owning firearms here is also an interesting exerpeince since everyone here is so anti-gun. I just got back from my friends cattle ranch where I helped them slaughter a few cows. I'm...

    Got to help a friend on his ranch slaughter a few cattle.

    As someone new to hunting I think my biggest fear is not knowing how to properly field dress an animal and do it justice if I was lucky enough to actually kill an animal in the wild. I have a friend that owns a 300 acre cattle ranch up near Yosemite and I had mentioned to him a while back that...

    10mm Pistol Choice

    Thats a question only you can answer for yourself. What do you think a group or strangers are going to be able to tell you that is going to be better than your own personal experience and preferences?

    Beware of LockedLoaded.com

    When I spoke to them they told me 5-8 business days which I was fine with, but after more than 2 weeks and no follow up from them after they said they'd call me, and no reply to my email I think I'm well within a refund at this point.

    Beware of LockedLoaded.com

    I'm well past two weeks and my card is still charged, and haven't heard back from them after my phone call. Promised me a callback and nothing, I followed up with an email, and still nothing. Thats why I ended up disputing the charge with my cc company.

    Beware of LockedLoaded.com

    Talking to them on the phone they were very rude and condescending. Like I said, waiting wasn't a problem. Plenty of other vendors out there who would gladly take my money. I'm pretty patient. I researched my first rifle for over a month. Then visited several LGS within an hour's drive in every...

    Beware of LockedLoaded.com

    That wasn't my point. I'm fine with extended wait times, as you mentioned, they are expected given the current climate. I've ordered stuff from several vendors in the last week or so (I try to avid ordering anything from Amazon, btw), taking advantage of Memorial Day sales. I'm fine with...

    Beware of LockedLoaded.com

    I ordered a product from them several weeks ago. After a week I contacted them asking the status of the order and was told that they are way behind and hadn't even got to my order yet and it may be a bit longer before they do. They said it's taking them about 5-8 days to process orders. I asked...

    La Sportiva or Salewa

    as someone with low volume feet Scarpa hiking, approach and mountaineering/ice climbing boots have always fit my foot very well. I wear an 11.5 in sneakers, Vans, etc and an 11 in dress shoes and I size up a little in Scarpas with a 45.5 and never got any heel lift or slop.

    Why is he way too tall for a Flash Air? It measures 88 inches long. At 6'4 it should be just fine. 6'4 is 76 inches. the leaves 12".

    Scarpa Kinesis Pro GTX

    Still haven't had these out on a trail yet, but have been wearing them around the house for quite a while now (hoping to get out on a hike this weekend). Just wearing them around the house they've started to flex a little more. They're VERY comfortable boots and I could probably hike and wear...
