    Interior garage walls

    I thought there was an older thread discussing ideas on options to finish garage interiors but cannot find it. Anyway, I’m looking for ideas on options to paint the interior walls on a garage. There is a dry wall in the garage. Ideally would like something durable and easy to clean. Just...

    Scouting Pack: Approach 2800 or Kiowa 3200

    I had originally ordered the Avail and thought it was way too small and returned for the Kiowa. Use the Kiowa for some light day scouting trips from the truck with spotter, 15s, and misc gear. Works well for that. Frame is a bit short for me. Actually use the Kiowa more as a carryon and as a...

    Stone Glacier Cirque Jacket

    Interested to see the review. Looked at this jacket at SG last fall and to me it was a jacket I’d compare to other synthetic puffy jackets not a softshell which I associate with pieces like the Jetstream. Liked the jacket in the store just did not really need it at the time.

    Best tent for Alaska sheep hunt

    I’ve been very impressed with my Niak so far. One trip in the Alaska Range it would almost get flattened with wind gusts but then pop back up with me hunkered inside. We were pushing the limits of our gear for about 40 hours straight that trip. Also been in some serious wind storms in December...

    Ruger Ranch Rifle…..Anyone?

    Got the 5.56 version about three years ago. Bolt is rough but never an issue in functioning. Just shoot Hornady ammo out of it. Coyotes have been the only critters so far. A great truck gun.

    Has anybody tried the new Crispi Birksdall yet?

    Well shoot I didn’t know the SF was being discontinued, I never thought they were too stiff. Did try on the Pros the other at a Scheels and those boots fit the same as my SF. From the pics so far not a fan of the synthetic panels that are on the Briksdal series since it adds more stitching and...
