    Anyone wear just a merino sock?

    So is more better? After looking into the brands of socks that you guys are wearing, it looks like Darn Tough socks have nearly 80% merino/wool, to where the other brands have 60% and below. So is more merino/wool in a sock better than a sock that contains less or does it matter as much?

    Cold weather riding gloves/mittens

    I went ahead and ordered a pr of the Kinco mittens. And I may even had an old pr of the military mitts somewhere (kinda forgot about them), just have to look through my old military gear. Thanks!

    Cold weather riding gloves/mittens

    A buddy of mine had some heater gloves like these, but a different brand...they worked great in the summer, but wasnt much pumpkin when it counted. I often wondered if there was another brand that actually worked. Thanks!

    Cold weather riding gloves/mittens

    Any suggestions for good riding gloves when the temps dip below 20 degrees? I read a ton of info on this but, I thought maybe the guys sitting in the saddle all day may have some better or different suggestions, especially when dealing with stock.

    Road access/closures

    Im sure this topic has been discussed, but I have not been able to find a direct answer yet. Is there an app that shows back country, nf, blm, state... etc road openings/closures? I was drawn for an elk tag in Wyoming and beginning my e-scouting. Thanks!

    Pnuma Clothing - it lives up to the hype!

    Looking for some advise on the Pnuma Waypoint jacket sizing. I normally wear an XL, but was wondering if an XL in this jacket would be big enough to wear over a goose down puffy jacket or should I size up to a 2XL? Thanks!

    Boyd’s Gunstock - Steyr SBS

    I also have a 300 wm that this stock is going onto. Never had looked into having a stock bedded, but have been watching and reading a lot into it after reading some forums that suggest it using this stock.

    Boyd’s Gunstock - Steyr SBS

    I just wondered if you still liked your Boyd stocks? I just purchased the At-one thumbhole stock in forest camo for my rifle. They sure look sharp!
