    Headlamp!

    Fair point with aux power…i just hate how quick some of the super UL lights die. I usually don’t take the battery pack any further than base camp. Might have to reconsider my stance though.

    Headlamp!

    All great options and I’ll probably make the switch to another Fenix. I run several of those as well but the form factor of the Zipka’s retracting headband was the big selling point. No rolling it up to double the size of the lamp etc. it just tucked away in its own package and you stow it for...

    Headlamp!

    I’ve ran the Petzl Zipka (retractable version) for years. Last year I lost 1 of 2 and wanted to plus back up. They’ve since been discontinued (super bummed) but I need to know what you’re all using now. My Requirements: good light output, AAA batteries (rechargeable doesn’t do you any good on...

    What kind of skinning knife do you use and why?

    I have been using Kestrel Knives for a few years and really enjoy them. I have an old skeleton skinner from them (they don’t have it online anymore) as well as their Ovis Hunter. They are thin blade stock so they seem sharper than most anything else out there but still a fixed blade. They are...

    Crossing Creeks

    +1 for crocs, May be slippery but take your time, cautiously make each step using the rocks to “lock you in” and/or use trekking poles and I’ve never had an issue. Light weight and easy to clip on.

    Would you do it?

    Looking for some new Bars/Mid day snacks to replace Clif bars. What's your fave?

    -Luna Lemonzest are my favorite bars currently. -Kize pb&honey are pretty tasty and super cheap but leave you feeling dry so have some water around. -Larabar chocolate chip cookie dough 2/3 are readily found at any grocery store, that matters for some people.

    Digiscoping with Swarovski BTX?

    Late to the party but this is from my first outing with the BTX/85mm and IPhone 12. I have used the ATX/65mm prior to this. If you are glassing long and hard hours and want to take pics on the side I would go with the BTX. If you want to focus on taking pics and spend more time in your binos...

    Howa Carbon Stalker

    Any update on that rifle build? I’m stuck on the CZ527 but at 4.5lbs I could be convinced to go a different route…
