    Quiet Bino Harness

    This. I never hear any noise from mine other than the zipper. Maybe I am deaf. Mine has the mag close. It might make a noise if I carelessly flip it closed. If I’m careless everything I got will make some kind of noise.

    Help finalize the "Dixie Zipper" (Mini CBK) for a group buy

    The Dixie skinner sort of reminds me of my Victorinox sheep skinner. Although the Dixie looks to be a upgrade for sure. I like it.

    The “mobile hunting” push, vs. the lack of LW/packable whitetail clothing and equipment?

    I think it comes down to marketing and sales reality. There isnt a big enough of a market currently. Whitetail hunting has a huge market but despite mobile hunting being a new trend its just not how most whitetail hunters do it. Most is what pays the bills. Not all but the vast majority of...

    Are there any coolers out there that have longer ice retention than Yeti?

    I have a pre lawsuit RTIC 65 and a Yeti 65 both tan. I cant see any different in performance in the two coolers if all things are the same. Many times at whitetail camp they are setting side by side. I have used both for game, ice storage and as a food cooler. Over the years and hunts I cant...

    Does anyone shop at Cabela's anymore? I don't anymore........selection

    From 1990-2010 they would call me for a wellness check if I didn't order something every week. I haven't bought anything since about 2018 shortly after the BPS buy out. Several reasons. One is They stopped offering my size in most Cabelas brand items. Other reasons are their Cabelas brand...

    Treestand Binoculars

    I think some hunters don't see the value in great binos for stalking or treestand hunting woods hunting. I did not either until I really started to learn how to look into the woods and see deer. Not only does it cure the being bored to death but lets me see the deer way before I would otherwise...

    How heavy is too heavy for you?

    I’m an eastern whitetail hunter hung in Ohio out of a shooting house and primarily in Alabama out of a climber. Heaviest I want is all up 8.5 lbs. 7.5-8.5 gives me the stability on the rail but not to heavy if I have to swing around on a deer coming from the side or behind. I used to jones for a...
