    Wearable vs Handheld Advice

    I'm technologically behind the times. Looking for a device to best serve hiking and hunting wishes for day trips and a few days afield. Yet to own a smart watch of any variety but have been getting back into some tech. in regards to my cycling habit- HR band, Strava, and cycling head unit...

    Kifaru's Urban Zippy or Antero may be worth a look.

    Kifaru Urban Zippy as whitetail daypack

    My buddy purchased a zippy a few years ago. It would make an excellent whitetail pack- IF you get the omni frame. It can be a little floppy without. I would also suggest you add an org pocket on the front too. Nice setup.

    Tarptent scarp 2

    I also do not have the scarp, but concur with the above... Excellent company, excellent products. I only have two though. Purchased the stratospire 2 first and found it to be gigantic for a solo shelter. I bought the notch the following year and it's awesome for solo backpacking. Very well...

    Best piece of hunting clothing, and why...

    I'm torn... First Lite base layers are awesome. I really like the 3/4 pants to keep the knees warmer in stand. However, the Gray Wolf Woolens pullover I purchased is awesome. It's wool, lined, has all the features I wanted, but THE BEST feature of the GWW is the collar. It is taller than all the...

    No bugs out west?

    Hahaha. This is great! Totally had me at the first line- thought that this would be coming- at least what everyone would be thinking. I tried sleeping under the stars or in inclement weather, under a tarp. Until I was eaten alive and ended up w lyme disease. Gotta love the mid-atlantic!!

    Outdoor life issue on ways to increase hunter numbers

    PA Blue laws are keeping hunter numbers down. Not sure how many other states prohibit Sunday hunting, but for us in the prime of our (working) lives, we really only have one day- Saturday. Even if Sunday were archery only as they are in other states, that may convert a few of the fence sitters...

    Rock Climbing Harness Fall

    Late to the conversation. I love the rock climbing harness. I use the summit ropes to go around the tree, but use a pre-sewn spectra loop to hitch into the front of my harness then carabiner to the prusik loop on the rope. This allows me to set the rope fairly high, then I put my non-dominant...

    No bugs out west?

    I see you western folks always rocking the tarps, floorless shelters, and tipis. Are there not spiders, ticks, and other bugs and bugaboons for which you are concerned?

    Pa's Harrisburg/NRA Sports show

    I've been for the last five straight years now. I think I'll be sitting this one out. I found that Super Bowl Sunday was the best (for me) as the crowds aren't nearly as thick and I can actually move around more easily. With the Eagles in the Super Bowl this year, I would assume that only half...

    Camo Face Paint

    Big neck gaiter fan here. I tried the paint, but didn't care much for it. The neck gaiter is always right there- can let it bunch under the chin when warm, and a quick pull over the nose when time.

    Matching camo

    The flashy red light thing is a great idea!

    Posting photos help?

    I read the FAQ's and can post very small thumbnail images, but can't seem to figure how to post the full size pics that I see others. I just started a Google photo page, but when i try the all that shows is the link. What am I missing/doing incorrectly? Thanks for the advice.

    Crispi Wyoming Video Review, by Jordan Budd

    That's exactly where the (minor) discomfort is located. I do have the stock insole in-seems pretty decent. I have a few different superfeet that I can try. Thanks for the suggestion.
