    Over Priced Things That Shouldn't Be?

    Sunglasses. I need prescription ones. Why are prescription oakleys 400 bucks? They are literally just plastic. I think 150 bucks is reasonable, but 400 dollars for something I’ll lose or break in a year or two is a lot.

    I think I’m finally done with Salomon

    I got like 5 years of hard use out of my first pair of Solomon’s. I really don’t expect to get more then two years out of a light hiker though, and anymore if I have a heavy pack I always wear Asolo 520s. The weight of your body and a heavy pack puts a ton of strain on a light boot with lots of...

    Have cancer. Going to Seattle for medical reasons. Fishing? Hiking tidbits?

    Sorry to hear that, definitely not good circumstances. I don’t have a lot to offer advice wise, other than I would say that if you are doing well enough to hike then go hit up some trails in the Olympics. There’s lots of good ones that the family can do with you. At least the west side is...

    Remote Job for Wife

    I doordashed in the Pullman Moscow area for about two months last summer and I made about 2500 bucks just doing it in the evenings. Probably made about 20 bucks an hour. It’s not the best way to make money but it bought me some new optics 😁 Pullman is the busiest DoorDash area in the US.

    naming specific units is very frowned upon my dude, I would not recommend doing that. Welcome to the forum though.

    The death of the retail store

    I used to live close to a scheels and it was pretty nice, but now I have to decide between cabelas and North 40. North 40 usually wins…

    Thoughts on purchasing hunting land in CO

    Just my opinion but unless you have very big money you’d be better off looking at the dakotas for hunting land. You can get 160 acres of slough/non agricultural land with cover that holds deer, birds and furbearers for a lot cheaper than the western states. If you want to elk hunt then 160 acres...

    What constitutes a vacation for you and your family?

    For me a vacation is whenever I take time off to do whatever I want. Hunting, trips to the coast, camping for more than a three day weekend. My wife and I have gone to the oregon coast every year since we’ve been married and stayed in a nice hotel and sat on the beach all day with our kids...

    Triathlon/Marathon/Endurance Sports Thread

    I’ve been a runner since my early teens, and I’ve run some half marathons. I think the furthest training run I’ve done is like 18 miles. I honestly just get bored on runs that are more than an hour or so, so I find it tough to train for long distance (10+miles). I’m considering trying to do some...

    Things to do in Spokane

    I live just south of CDA and occasionally I am forced against my will to go to Spokane. I hate it. It’s my least favorite “big city” besides Portland. At least Seattle has mountains you can look at to try and ignore the druggies, Spokane has nothing. I would recommend staying in CDA and don’t...

    Ford 5.0L V8 vs EcoBoost: High mileage experience?

    This thread kinda surprises me. Lotta guys with bad experiences. I have had my 2012 f150 with the 3.5 eco boost since 2018, it had 130k on it when I bought it and now it’s got 240k. All I’ve done is basic maintenance, oil changes every 3500 miles, spark plugs, a battery, an air filter, I think...

    Wind stopper shirt?

    I like how these really old threads randomly get brought up. And under “Backpacks” 😁

    Rokslide Approved LPVO?

    Though I am generally anti vortex I really like their Razor 1-6. It’s pretty durable, I’ve used mine very hard. The new Sig Tango that the army is putting on DMRs is pretty cool seeming and I’ve heard really good things.

    Why doesn’t anyone make a good camo patterned blaze orange vest.

    I remember Natural Gear made a decent looking one, at least back in the day. That’s what I’d look for.
