    Taboo Topics of Discussion

    After watching my wife die from cancer I can tell you that no amount of running every day or diet changes how I feel. Most days, it's not an issue, generally it's just a handful here and there, but I don't know when or where. Mindfulness and meditation helps, in that I recognize what is...

    What's for breakfast?

    I don't love breakfast and usually just force something down. Bacon that early gives me heartburn. I don't find eggs by themselves particularly appetizing. TMPM's baked oatmeal or a peanut butter perfect bar. https://mealprepmanual.com/dark-chocolate-cherry-baked-oatmeal/

    Idahoans do not like out-of-state hunters

    I hunted deer in Idaho a couple of years ago outside of Boise with a friend. We were basically out there visiting his family and wedged a deer hunt in there despite knowing that the hills outside of Boise get a lot of pressure. We "found" one spot to hunt (it is very much not a secret, just an...

    Looking for a custom knife maker recommendation

    There are lots of folks out there making nice custom knives. Dan will do customs and makes some interesting damascus patterns and does some real nice file work (e.g., arrows on the knife spine, etc.). www.dennhandmade.com https://www.instagram.com/dennhandmadeknives/?hl=en

    Wim Hof

    https://www.outsideonline.com/outdoor-adventure/exploration-survival/wim-hof-california-lawsuit/ I'm good thanks. Another quack selling dangerous woo to impressionable folks. Like most of that, there are kernels of truth and helpful tips all wrapped up in misguided advice. I'm sure this guy...

    Favorite non hunting related YouTube channels

    Sampson Boat Company/Tally Ho. Dude's been rebuilding a 110 year old wooden boat from the keel up (well, even the keel). Excellent carpenter and a good videographer. These days he makes enough from the channel to hire a staff to help, so he's not solo otherwise he'd still be carving timbers...

    Dewalt brushless tool battery life and maint.?

    charging lithium batteries in freezing weather will definitely shorten their lifespan. They're fine just sitting or even being used when it's cold, but charging them frozen damages them. I've had the same 6aH batteries for three years now and I use them and my hammer drill for an ice auger. No...

    Battery Powered Chainsaws

    I've got the dewalt 20v Max XR brushless saw. It's .... OK. I mostly use it around the house for zipping up a small fallen limb or trimming trees when I don't want to dig out my gas saw and mess around with fuel and oil for about 5 minutes of work. It does bind a bit because it's slow and for...

    Mobile truck tool box/tote? What are the essentials?

    These Husky boxes are great for organization. They latch on four sides, but if you only undo the front side, they hinge open. Water resistant and dust proof. The clear top is great for a quick look inside. My truck stuff sits in one and I have a couple on my boat for tackle and another for ice...
