    Saltwater fly fishing reels

    Yeah, just overkill and heavy IMO. Granted more bonefish have probably been caught on a tibor than anything else. With the weights of most 6, 7 and 8wts these days about the only tibor that will balance is a freestone. (no longer made, just go see eBay for prices... yikes!) I also fish 1 piece...

    Saltwater fly fishing reels

    There is a good reason tibor hasn’t changed. They are still the go-to reel of most tournament tarpon anglers so they don’t really have a reason to change their design. Tibors just work. Are they cool, new, lightweight or flashy? no. But they work almost always. I wouldn’t necessarily put one on...

    Thought Experiment: bear defense

    I would love to see it on a grizzly. I think it would be incredible. #2 (or even bigger) buckshot TSS seems like great bear medicine.

    RokStok

    I can’t trust someone that doesn’t use the original Rokslide color scheme. If it ain’t green and black, then it’s out of whack.

    Lead Buckshot, Tungsten, or Slugs?

    Thought Experiment: bear defense

    A brown bear is 25 yards away, charging you full speed. What weapon are you picking if whatever gun (and ammo) you wanted would magically appear in your hands For this, the weapon is already in your hands at the ready, so no struggling to draw it from a holster/sling or whatever. Also ignore...

    Whistles

    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...

    Bino recs for 300 yard max deer hunting

    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...

    Bino recs for 300 yard max deer hunting

    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...

    WTB 6.5 barreled action (r700)

    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?

    Stone Glacier Tokeen 2600 day pack review (forth coming)

    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

    The best vest-less system for turkey hunting (imo)

    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 definitely didn’t notice that… yikes!

    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...
