    Picking a camera...help

    I have two Olympus em1ii bodies and a number of their pro lenses. Big fan of the micro 4/3 format. But my day in day out carry is an em5ii with the 14-150ii and the 17,25, and 45 1.8 lenses. Just not much a person can’t cover with this kit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Olympus EM5 IIs Opinions

    I have the em5ii for bumping around and the em1ii for when I am more serious. I have more fun with the em5ii because of the size. The 14-150ii is a good lens fit for the 5 and the fact that it is weather sealed. Most of the time I have the 25mm 1.8 on it. I love the focal length for general...

    Best beginners digital camera and editing software

    If she is outdoors mostly you might consider mirrorless. I run Olympus because it is smaller than most dslrs. EM5 IIs are going cheap since the III came out. Pair that with a 14-150 for most things, and add in a few of their small prime lenses later as she progresses. Sent from my iPhone...

    Cell phone booster

    I’ve looked at those, but they are a little pricey for something I might only use every couple years. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Cell phone booster

    My dad has a 12A deer tag here in AZ at the end of the month. Had the same tag last year and cell reception in the area was non except for one hill about 10 miles from camp that offered spotty reception at best. The only other option was Jacob lake, but that was 24 miles one way. Made for a lot...

    HPG and SO

    Pretty well settled on HPG at this point. No experience with SO. Umlindi as a day pack, and Ute for when I need more room. They are almost too modular because it took me quite a while to settle on these two after trying multiple pocket/panels and their other packs. I may look into a Qui-Ya one...

    Quietest DSLR type of camera

    Probably any mirrorless. I moved from Pentax to Olympus about a year and a half ago, and am happy with the switch. Silent shutter works well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Roof top tents?

    I’ve been thinking about one of these myself. I like the idea of folding up in a few minutes and being on the road. I figure I can build a frame and mount it on a trailer I have. Then I can load my quad in my truck and pull the trailer, or pull it behind my Bronco. Or build a rack and mount it...

    Hill People Gear modular pack frame

    I have often thought about a bag less Ute frame, but I am pretty fond of their compression system. The compression on this is a little different and doesn’t seem to lend itself to running one of their panel packs as well. The new pocket that is intended to go with this frame looks pretty good...

    New!! Worlds best camera for wildlife and action photography

    Sorry, that was the wrong link. Came find the other one now. The one I tried to link talked a bout the 150-400 lens due out this year with a built in 1.25 teleconverter, and the 2x teleconveter. The two together would give a 1000 mm lens that could be hand held with Olympus’ image stabilization...

    New!! Worlds best camera for wildlife and action photography

    https://theonlinephotographer.typepad.com/the_online_photographer/blog_index.html This guy might have a point. I am running Olympus now and wish I could afford this camera and the upcoming lens. As it is I hope to upgrade from my EM5ii to an EM1ii soon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Hill People Gear

    I have the Ute. It took a while to get the stays adjusted right, but since I did it has been great. My current setup is either the Ute or Umlindi with a V2 Pals pocket with my camera gear on as the compression panel depending on how much capacity I need. The V2 is also run as a stand alone pack...

    Buying a day pack - carrying a side arm

    I know it is not what you asked at first, but I’m running a Hill People Gear Heavy Recon Kit Bag with their bino pouch on it. Works pretty well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Packing meat out with HPG Ute?

    Nothing in the main bag. Everything was in the Highlander. Main bag was compressed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Packing meat out with HPG Ute?

    I hauled a little spike deer about a mile with mine. Had a Highlander on as the compression panel with my day gear in it. Really only about 60-70 lbs total. I was about 9 months off surgery on my feet and ankles so that was all I wanted at the time. No complaints about the pack. Sent from my...
