    Taboo Topics of Discussion

    After watching my wife die from cancer I can tell you that no amount of running every day or diet changes how I feel. Most days, it's not an issue, generally it's just a handful here and there, but I don't know when or where. Mindfulness and meditation helps, in that I recognize what is...

    What's for breakfast?

    I don't love breakfast and usually just force something down. Bacon that early gives me heartburn. I don't find eggs by themselves particularly appetizing. TMPM's baked oatmeal or a peanut butter perfect bar. https://mealprepmanual.com/dark-chocolate-cherry-baked-oatmeal/

    Idahoans do not like out-of-state hunters

    I hunted deer in Idaho a couple of years ago outside of Boise with a friend. We were basically out there visiting his family and wedged a deer hunt in there despite knowing that the hills outside of Boise get a lot of pressure. We "found" one spot to hunt (it is very much not a secret, just an...

    Looking for a custom knife maker recommendation

    There are lots of folks out there making nice custom knives. Dan will do customs and makes some interesting damascus patterns and does some real nice file work (e.g., arrows on the knife spine, etc.). www.dennhandmade.com https://www.instagram.com/dennhandmadeknives/?hl=en

    half a gallon before bed? I'd be up pissing every hour on the hour.

    Wim Hof

    https://www.outsideonline.com/outdoor-adventure/exploration-survival/wim-hof-california-lawsuit/ I'm good thanks. Another quack selling dangerous woo to impressionable folks. Like most of that, there are kernels of truth and helpful tips all wrapped up in misguided advice. I'm sure this guy...

    Favorite non hunting related YouTube channels

    Sampson Boat Company/Tally Ho. Dude's been rebuilding a 110 year old wooden boat from the keel up (well, even the keel). Excellent carpenter and a good videographer. These days he makes enough from the channel to hire a staff to help, so he's not solo otherwise he'd still be carving timbers...

    Dewalt brushless tool battery life and maint.?

    charging lithium batteries in freezing weather will definitely shorten their lifespan. They're fine just sitting or even being used when it's cold, but charging them frozen damages them. I've had the same 6aH batteries for three years now and I use them and my hammer drill for an ice auger. No...

    Battery Powered Chainsaws

    I've got the dewalt 20v Max XR brushless saw. It's .... OK. I mostly use it around the house for zipping up a small fallen limb or trimming trees when I don't want to dig out my gas saw and mess around with fuel and oil for about 5 minutes of work. It does bind a bit because it's slow and for...

    Mobile truck tool box/tote? What are the essentials?

    These Husky boxes are great for organization. They latch on four sides, but if you only undo the front side, they hinge open. Water resistant and dust proof. The clear top is great for a quick look inside. My truck stuff sits in one and I have a couple on my boat for tackle and another for ice...

    Alone TV Show- contestants sponsorsed?

    They all got Kelty packs a few seasons ago. Sometimes they'll tape out logos. IDK. Clay Hayes was on there and he had all FL, and is still sponsored by FL. In the first few seasons, there were folks showing up in random walmart/bass pro hunting gear or 70-year old army-navy surplus. I...

    Not a prepper, but… I was thinking about preparedness.

    I see this thread brought out the true believers ... as expected. The best way to be prepared is to sell doomsday supplies to the preppers. Make a mint, that's why guys like Ben Shapiro are hawking that crap. They know their audience. That John Seymour book is great though. I keep that one...

    KUIU vs Sitka vs First Lite

    Kuiu's peloton 97 is amazing. I bought one and then went back and bought four more with different colors and with/without the hood. The fit and finish on all Kuiu stuff has, in my experience, been flawless. FL has been all over the place. Those obsidian pants are borderline pajama bottoms...

    Future

    I think the pandemic was a definitely a wake-up call to thousands of MBAs who have advocated for and restructured companies to rely on just-in-time logistics. Why pay for storage? We're still recovering from that. Or when a container ship gets sideways in a (relatively) tiny canal, disrupting...

    Future

    Well, have fun in your bunker. Nothing but scared old folks whining about "back in my day." Somebody wrote the '70s were the pinnacle? The 70s? Seriously? I'm sure everyone who was alive in the 70s were honor students, worked diligently, saved every dime, never touched alcohol, nor had sex...
