If I have a whistle (required in a boat where I am) I have always just used a fox or a storm whistle. Honestly need ear pro to use the dang things. Whistles are not something I have really nerded out about or researched much though.
If I was a true ultralighter I would learn to whistle with my...
no idea, I am not a glass nerd by any means. What I can do is give post a link to maven's chart. Just at a quick glance the b3s beat the c1s in FOV, Light transmission, and weight. Looks like the C wins in twilight factor and brightness- likely due to the larger objective. But there are some...
I think a pair of used maven b3 8x30s would be a great choice, seen a few pairs in the upper 300$ range here recently. I just got a pair of 8x30s so I don't have much experience with them but they seem great so far. They are half a pound lighter than the weight of the C 8x42 and probably have...
Something like that is pretty much what I am looking for apart from the weight, looking to keep my build lightweight as well. What does the barreled action weigh?
Can you Lobby SG to add bottle pockets so I can buy one? I have no idea why they wouldn’t have them on there. Looks like a perfect carry on/travel/day pack otherwise
Fanny Pack + Pocket gang here. Maven 8x30s around my neck with the included strap (shortened) and a backpack on if I need one with a sit pad. I’m waiting on a multicam everlestock bando bag which seems like it will be perfect.
I played with multiple chest packs but I just can’t get used to...
I think the more urban/fashionable/hipster your bag looks the more discreet CC is. Take something like the maxpedition gearslingers vs a gucci bag. I’m definitely not saying to buy a gucci bag, but it may be wise to buy something a little more “streetwear” rather than something from a tactical...
Just to make sure I wasn’t mistaken I looked up the nutrition facts. It does look like the dehydrated stuff has more protein.
dehydrated PB: 3.75cal/gram
Justins Almond Butter: 6.875 cal/gram
One thing about the dehydrated PB is that it actually has less cals/ounce than normal PB- I assume because they remove all of the calorie dense oils. I thought the dehydrated PB would be awesome for backpacking until I noticed this.
Now I just use the single use packets of real peanut or...
I think @Stockys makes those stocks for Howa. Any warranty replacement will probably have to go throught howa/legacy but maybe stockys can chime in, they are generally extremely helpful.
I recently rethought my kit as well, and have broken down my first aid kit into two categories.
Category one is comfort: this is for injuries and illnesses that won’t make you go home from a hunt, but that will make the hunt uncomfortable. Stuff like leukotape, immodium, a few bandaids, etc...
