    First lite or Sitka gaiters which is taller?

    First Lite is a little taller. Brand new Sitka vs 3 year old First Lite: FL is a little quieter to my ears.

    Help with Swamp Foot

    DrySol is what you want. It is made for this exact problem. In the old days they used formaldehyde to treat hyperhidrosis. It essentially melted the very top layer of skin and plugged up the sweat glands. Yikes! Stick with DrySol.

    300wsm Options

    I had a Nosler M48 in 300WSM. Currently have a Fierce in 300WSM. Both great rifles. Handled well. Shot great. The Fierce is noticeably lighter than the Nosler. Can recommend both depending on what you’re wanting. I hauled the Fierce up and down the Rockies this elk season. Personally prefer...

    Ammo for 300 wsm

    Both the Nosler Trophy Grade 180 Accubonds and the Barnes VOR-TX 165 shot sub-MOA for me through two different 300 WSM rifles (a Nosler and a Fierce).

    Opinion of Weatherby Rifles

    I have an mid 90’s (1994?) six lug Mark V in 7mm-08. Shot 1.5 MOA from the factory. Super thin contour 24” barrel would walk if it got hot. Eventually restocked it and it shoots 3/4 MOA now. Shoulders so well. I still love that thing for deer. I got a glove jammed in the flip up safety once...

    Exo K3 4800 Pack System Review ***Updated 2/10/20***

    Agreed. I’ve test packed the 4800 with solo late season gear and it all fit with 5 days of food. Nothing was strapped to the outside (except the rifle) but it was pretty much maxed out. The R7 rated pad and a shelter I can stand up in with a stove and liners could easily be replaced with...

    Shrunk my first lite Chama.

    You can try blocking it. Knitters block finished pieces to settle in the final shape and fit. Google “blocking wool sweater” for ideas. It’s pretty easy to do.

    Initial burn time for stove

    Loaded it up and let it burn itself out. Burned it in outside the tent/tipi and just supported the pipe with wire from above. Here she is towards the end of the first burn... Overloaded it apparently since I had to leave the door open for most of the burn or it would choke out the flame. Oops...

    Backpack Stove Review - MSR vs Jetboil ***Updated 2/3/20***

    I have both a Flash and a Windburner. They really are apples to apples, but I do like one slightly more than the other.
