    Probiotic and Fish Oil Recommendation

    I have a bachelors in Human Nutrition and Dietetics. The best thing you could possibly do is eat yogurt and eat fish. Obtaining all of your essentials through natural means will be far more beneficial for your health than just taking the supplements. I used to use supplements all the time...

    Looking for recommendations on glass for my elk hunt in September. I have a set of Leica Trinovid 10x42 BA, but I’m wanting to have a set for a tripod.
