At Basecamp I have a stove but I will spike out for 4 to 5 days without stove and eat cold soaked muesli for breakfast and bring an extra bar for dinner.
My boys were 6 & 9 year ago when I purchased them each binoculars. The youngest got maven C2 7 x 28 and the older got Vortex diamondback 8 x 32. Both have held up and served their purposes as well.
I recently purchased the marsupial, new generation, non-magnetic harness. I’ve only used it a couple times on a 3-D course, but so far like it. It seems to ride well on my torso and The forward opening lid is quiet, but stiff. It is operable with one hand. There are no cords to get hung up...
One of the 1st things I did to my Mathews VXR was remove the grip. I’ve got side plates but never put them on because I like shooting off just the riser
I live in Oregon, and recently sent aChristiansen back for work. I had to send it from an FFL; then it had to be sent back to the FFL and I had to get a background check to get my own rifle back from the FFL.
Frustrating to say the least
In September (eastern OR) I mainly wear my Sitka Mt pants unless it’s gonna be real wet then I’ll wear timberlines. I don’t wear my attacks hunting because of the lack of kneepads.
I do wish the mountain pants had side zips.
I own and like both jackets. The mountain hardware is warm, lite and packs small so it is in my pack all September.
Due to wt and bulk the Sitka doesn’t make it into the pack when it’s dry out. It is my go to daily wear and at camp or if there is significant precipitation in the forecast.
