    REI air rail 1.5 upgrade

    Bought a Ultra 7r and a Western Mountaneering Kodiak after the '22 season. Both were only about 2 oz more than what i had prior. But man what a difference in warmth and comfort. Sleeping was never so joyful this season.

    Generator

    I have a Generac 7500e that i backfeed into my house when needed. Peak wattage is 9375. Thats just barely enough to run the bigger things like central air if everything else is off. It is plenty to run well pump, lights and freezers though.

    Any chance for this elk?

    That looks like a great double lung hit to me. Maybe back half of lungs. But the lack of blood is odd.

    Exped 7R pad

    I just bought a new Exped 7R because I was looking for a warmer pad. After inflating it and holding it up to the light I noticed the down is evenly spread across some baffles but not others. Some baffle tubes had bare spots. I found it pretty difficult to spread the down out in the affected...

    Newfoundland Moose 2022

    We had a good experience with Portland Creek in 2021 after getting postponed from 2020. 4 of 4 guys killed with rifle and 2 of 3 with bow. 3rd guy lost one with bow. Only complaint was several of the bulls were smaller but we lost 2 days of hunting fogged in before we could fly in and werent...

    TRT Anyone?

    497 aint bad for a man of your vintage but you didnt tell us the age(s) of your girlfriend(s). That matters, as well as that free T number mentioned above.😉

    Property line disputes

    The mulching company should be put on notice that they too will be cited for trespassing. I would guess they will not find that very exciting.

    GWS versus Pertex Shield for a sleeping bag?

    A quick scan of the WWW says that pertex has a rating from 10,000-20,000 mm/24hrs and goretex is rated at 28,000. So the gore should be better. Theres no such thing as waterpproof unless its a rubber bag. Your mileage may vary.

    Fence post installation? Concrete vs packed gravel

    Many folks use regular treated limber for post instead of ground contact treated. They are not the same and the regular treated will eventually rot. Im in the camp of never using concrete. Just unneeded and expensive.

    Fulcrum vs Ma deuce

    I had a DT2 and the strappyness drove me nuts. Especially having 6 to 8 buckles/straps to undo if carrying a weapon on back just to get something out. The Ma Duece solves all that and s fine in day mode unless you are only looking for 1000 cu in. Then maybe consider a smaller pack.

    Aluminum or carbon fiber arrows?

    Earlier you said the two arrows weigh the same so initial speed should be somewhat equal. Thinner carbon may retain down range speed better but probably not enough at 50 yds to matter. If the aluminum groups better go with it. I dont think you mentioned how the two groups compared. I still...
