    Better way to pack sleeping bag?

    The LT 5500 weighs less than your 3600.... Probably a good move as previously suggested and it packs down plenty small enough. A quilt would help also but they can be drafty. I have a ZenBivy, which takes care of that. Its incredible but not the smallest or lightest.

    Flying with Pot call and Strikers in carry-on?

    Thanks guys. Here is the response I got. Not sure I want to risk the $200ish. Maybe I'll try with my cheapie. "Generally, a turkey call and striker are allowed in carry-on bags. Please note however that even if an item is generally allowed, it may be subject to additional screening if it...

    Flying with Pot call and Strikers in carry-on?

    Does anyone know if I will run into issues carrying on 2 pots (1 slate, 1 titanium) and 2x strikers? I know I could ask the airline but trying to explain.....

    California Black Bear Conservation Plan

    I hear what you are saying. However, I still think you are wrong and our resources are better channeled elsewhere. Like the spring season or other methods. By the way, if you are an advocate of "not working on emotions" it would be best if you don't accuse me of having a "poor. quitter mindset"...

    California Black Bear Conservation Plan

    LOL, no. You have no idea who I am and how involved I am in conservation. My disagreement is more from a pragmatic standpoint.

    Ignoring emotions and how powerful they are would be a mistake. Virtually every bill passed against us is passed on emotions. Not facts.

    0% chance dogs come back. Did you see the most recent legislation about "overworking" dogs they tried to pass?

    Taking Equity out of Home OP spoke to me - now, me too!

    Yup, tapping into equity is not the same as putting $$$ away per check to spend. A refinance probably cost $7,000 (I am guessing) and the spending associated with tapping into home equity. People spend home equity like credit cards. This leads to them spending significantly more than if they...

    Good job on the life insurance. I remember delivering a check to a widow. I pray that I never have to do that again. The data I've seen puts satisfaction over 90% for those with a claim. Yes, you can get denied and it's certainly not as easy as military (no hate). They also write exclusions...

    Don't forget about disability insurance bud. Its 2% (roughly) of your income and your income is arguably your most valuable asset. If you die, your wife can move on. You get disabled, it may take your wife down with you (caregiver) for who knows how long. Then your family is really screwed...

    Taking Equity out of Home OP spoke to me - now, me too!

    The problem is people live one chapter of their life at the expense of the other. This can go either way (over/underspending). It's imperative to live each chapter to the fullest. Did the first guy live like an absolute meiser for too long and it's a good thing he is finally spending? Did he...

    Torque insensitive bows

    Get one with a Defelex Riser, it probably wont be a "hunting" bow. Bowtech Reckoning Gen 2 is 100% up your alley. Deflex riser, adjustable grip... there are others like the PSE Supra.
