    Durston X-Mid Tents

    I’ve got a set. Haven’t used them yet, but should work out great. The adjustability is nice to have and they seem pretty sturdy even though they are super light.

    Durston X-Mid Tents

    Durston also opened up ordering on their adjustable poles. I almost pulled the trigger on the Tarptent poles, but glad I waited for Durstons. Great adjustability and light weight. Suppose to ship in Oct..

    Utah senator Mike Lee - attacking Public Lands

    Yeah…good luck with that. I’d love nothing more than to see Lee get the boot, but being the Mormon constitutionalist he claims to be, he’s a fan favorite here locally. https://www.ksl.com/article/50376928/poll-utah-sen-mike-lee-has-a-big-lead-in-republican-primary-election

    Hallux Rigidus

    Bringing this back up as it was just recommended that I get surgery to fuse my big toe due to past injury/arthritis. Looking for some folks who have gone through this and the outcome in regards to backpacking and hiking. Reading other posts, the healing process looks like it’s gonna suck.

    Otto NoizeBarrier Micro Ear Protection Review, By Derik Henderson

    Preface: I have high frequency hearing loss and wear Oticon hearing aids daily. Positives I liked about the Otto’s: The charging case is very handy and works well. I used the Ottos on a 4 day elk hunt and believe I only charged the case 1 time from a battery pack I brought with. As recommended...

    I sent mine back. Wasn’t impressed. Still on the hunt for a better option.

    Just bought Kimber Mountain Ascent 6.5 - what ammo worked best in your mountain ascent?

    Another vote for Barnes 127 LRX. Right seating depth made all the difference.

    Otto NoizeBarrier Micro Ear Protection Review, By Derik Henderson

    Not what I was hoping to hear. I should have mine mid next week. I also ordered the foam tips from Amazon that guys were recommending for better fit/seal.

    Otto NoizeBarrier Micro Ear Protection Review, By Derik Henderson

    Review pushed me to order a set as well. Been looking to buy some for the past few seasons, but hadn’t pulled the trigger. I wish I would have been more diligent about hearing protection in my younger days. Would have avoided the tinnitus, hearing loss and the $5k spent on hearing aids...

    Dagger 2p vs. Copper Spur UL 2p

    Also take a look at the Copper Spur HV UL2 Bikecamping tent. I just ordered one. The poles are shorter packed, which I think will be convenient to fit in backpack. I’ll be ditching the stuff sack it comes with for something lighter.
