    Clear Care contact lens solution

    Made an exciting discovery this week that I hope no one else ever gets to experience. I use clear care contact lens solution which is hydrogen peroxide based and uses a catalyst to neutralizes the peroxide. It's supposed to be done in 6 hours. There is a little warning on the side of the box...

    Where were they two weeks ago?

    I had the perfect storm this year of a new job, getting residency late, and some medical stuff that prevented me from scouting, getting into the draw, etc. So I picked up an OTC tag, picked the nearest spot on the map that also had a late season cow hunt and went as soon as I had doctor's...

    Practice Rifle choice during the Ammo Shortage?

    During normal times this really wouldn't be a question, I'd go pick up a matching rifle/scope in .223 to my hunting rifle (plan was a tikka,) and proceed to spend lots of time at the range between now and this fall improving my skills. But...it's not really "normal times." Given the current...

    My relocation for a new job in Idaho Falls finally got approved so we've leaving the greater Denver area and heading west - current ETA is mid March.

    WTS Hornady precision hunter 30.06

    I've got four boxes of Hornady precision hunter in 30.06. They won't stabilize in my ancient rifle and I figured with the ammo shortage and rifle season kicking off someone could use them. $100 takes the lot, local only in the Denver area.

    Unexpected side benefit of "Intermittent Fasting"

    I was reading a book a few months back called Anti-Fragile, it's an interesting take on thinking about things that are fragile (damaged by disruptions) and things that are "anti-fragile" (improved by disruption). The author is a bit of a jerk but some of the insights were pretty good and borne...

    What would you buy with $200 at FL

    I helped a buddy out on a project the other day and he got me a First Lite Gift card for $200 and so I'm trying to figure out what would be the best thing to spend it on. My current set up is a FL Fuse top base layer, a cheap set of bottom thermals, Eddie Bauer or Duluth Trading Co pants, a...

    Stupid idea?

    I've been going back and forth on which spotting scope to pick up - should I spend a bunch of money and get a nice one, should I go cheap because I don't have one and I don't know if I'll like it. A common comment is that I should make sure and pick up a binocular adapter for my tripod - and...

    Yet Another "which 50-65mm scope" Thread

    The long quarantine has been making me research things ad-naseum and one of the items on my list to purchase this year is a spotting scope. Unfortunately, as you folks know there are enough options to make you cross-eyed, so I'd like any insight you folks can provide. Here's the use case: I...

    Uses for Lighter Weight Material

    Stuck in quarantine I was just reading some materials science new recently about "super magnesium" which is a new magnesium alloy that's a little stronger than high grade aluminum but ~30% lighter and damps vibration much better. It got me thinking what could you make out of it for hunting...
