    Boot input needed. Crispi Guide Insulated/Crispi Wild Rock

    Do you have another pair of non insulated premium boots for earlier seasons? If so I highly recommend the Wild Rock. I run the non insulated Nevada for earlier/warmer conditions and the Wild Rock for late season. If you can only afford or want one boot for do it all then yes, go for the...

    Insoles…. Where to start?

    Superfeet green are best for those with high arches, I have neutral arches and they worked for me in a couple pairs of boots but I don't use them anymore as the foam is a little too hard for my liking. If you just want to replace the useless factory insoles in your boots I would recommend a...

    Best backcountry spotting scope

    Another vote for the Leica Televid 62 APO if you can find one. Also the older magnesium Swarovski 65 HD

    Bino Dilemma (Swaro vs Zeiss)

    SLC for the win. You need to properly adjust diopter. SLC and my Leica Ultravid HD plus in 10x50 are the two best 10x binoculars to my eyes. I do not like field flattening designs like the Swarovision, Zeiss SF or Leica noctivid. I have also owned the Conquest HD,Zeiss Victory HT and Victory...

    9mm backcountry?

    I much prefer the Glock 23 Gen 4 as an outdoor pistol. Mine is loaded with Underwood 200 grain hardcast. If not pick up a GEN 5 Glock 19, put some decent sights on it and rock on.

    Swarovski Z3 4-12x50?

    Not reliable for twisting turrets. Get the BRH and hold over. BRX is too fine for a hunting rifle in low light.

    If at home: Bellows lens cleaning brush. Q-tips with lens cleaning solution to clean lens. Cotton balls immediately following to remove excess cleaning solution used in a circular motion and rotating to effect fast absorption of left over fluid. Works great and all you have to do is raid the...

    Swarovski EL 10x42 worth the cost?

    I prefer the SLC to the EL and price is not an issue.

    Bino Noob - Leicas - Ultravid HD+ vs Noctivid

    Ultravid HD plus are slightly better than the current SLC HD in optics, focusing, build quality and ergonomics. They may be your top optic if you like the classic view with a little edge distortion like the SLC and Zeiss HT all which present a more natural view than designs with field...

    Vortex UHD vs Swarovski

    SLC rules in its price point period. No getting past that and a Vortex is not going to suffice, neither is a Meostar. Want me to prove it? Come over and I will enlighten you. IMO a guy would be doing himself a disservice by not going SLC if there is any way he can afford it.

    Merino Base Layers

    Merino dries slower than synthetics. The main benefit of Merino in its insulating value verses weight and its ability to go longer without stinking.

    Building my optics arsenal

    My opinion. The Vortex 10x50 will be too heavy and large. The SLC is a sweet glass and what a modern 10x42 should be in size and weight. 10x50 just are not practical for a mountain hunter that will also be carrying a spotter,tripod and range finder in their kit. Ditch the 18x idea and get both...

    Alpha glass ?

    What is your point? How many of the models mentioned have you owned and compared against each other? I have in my possession a current SLC, Meostar HD and Leica Ultravid hd plus 10x50. Have owned Zeiss HT and Swarovision in the past and compared to the SLC. The Meopta HD is NOT the equal of...
