    Hilleberg Tent Input

    I have been a Nallo fanboy for years, but that Staika might be my next tent! You mention the venting design being well conceived, I assume you don't have condensation problems?

    Kitchen Cabinets

    That is a really clever idea, well done! Curious, did you know the person doing the new cabinet install? I'm wondering how a contractor would react if someone reached out asking to go to a clients home and take cabinets down.

    Kitchen Cabinets

    I echo what others have said on using a local wholesaler, it was much cheaper than going through HD or Lowes which felt "marked up, to mark down". Even at sale prices, I'm saving a ton using a wholesaler. A few things I've learned about the cabinet process as I'm going through my own remodel...

    Budget 15x Binos or a Budget Spotting Scope?

    I may have missed it but what type of hunting are you planning on doing? I think that is a relevant part of the discussion. I have 10x SLCs in a chest rig and 15x SLCs in my pack for use on a tripod. I've never felt like I needed a spotter for elk but I'm also not a trophy hunter. However, if...

    Kifaru LPP- Full vs Half Zip

    Another vote for the 1/2 zip due to the pouch. Only thing to consider with the 1/2 zip is it can be more "difficult" to put on/off with a bino harness vs. the full zip. If purchasing again, I'd still buy the 1/2

    vacuum sealer uses beyond Meat processing/Storage....?

    Very interesting. I'll have to give that a try, seems much easier and cleaner than using your palm. I usually keep spare packed bearings in tuberware containers but like the idea of keeping them in sealed bags. I'll have to give this a try, thanks for the tip!

    vacuum sealer uses beyond Meat processing/Storage....?

    I'm intrigued by this. Do you pack spare bearings and then vac seal? Or something else?

    Hanwag Sale / Discount?

    Anyone know if there is a black friday sale for Hanwag? Or a discount somewhere? My makra combis are in need of replacement.

    Question for you Electricians: What Electrical Connector and Components Do You Recommend?

    Interesting, was not familiar with this. Is this used instead of heat shrink or in addition to? Is this what you are taking about: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000QUOOPQ/ref=twister_B0C6HPHCT5

    Question for you Electricians: What Electrical Connector and Components Do You Recommend?

    Question for all you electricians... What brand electrical connectors, terminals and heat shrink do you all recommend? All relatively small wire applications (10-22 AWG) for boat, truck and marine applications. I'd rather spend a little more per component rather than potentially have a bad...

    101 ways to ruin a tent

    Was riding out a storm in my tent and thought that cutting my fingernails with a fixed blade knife would be a good way to pass the time. Ended up cutting myself and flinched with my knife hand..... putting the blade right through the inner wall of my tent.

    Collegiate Shooting and Scholarships

    I shot competitively at the collegiate level in the shotgun disciplines (trap, skeet, sporting clays, etc.). Did both ACUI and SCTP events as well as other regional collegiate events. We competed against the military academies who run pretty solid programs. Speaking of the shotgun sports...
