    Primaloft Jacket 150g

    The final approach website says one of the chest pockets is magnetic. Is that accurate? How does the xl fit? I am 6’2” 220. Usually wear a large. I was thinking an xl would fit.

    2024 SKRE Gear reviews

    Yeah - I agree about the breathability of these pants. I wore them a couple of weeks ago and they felt a bit swampy even with it was pretty cool out - early morning 30 degree weather. It was very noticeable by the time it hit the 60s and 70s. Far more so than my other pants, even with the...

    e-bike trailer attached to frame backpack

    I took it last week on my moose hunt, but my pack out ended up being like 2 feet, so I haven’t gotten it bloody yet. Next up - elk season.

    e-bike trailer attached to frame backpack

    It is good. I have hiked about 10 miles with it just to work out the kinks. It definitely work best with weight forward - just like a trailer and a truck. The most weight I have hauled is 140 pounds, which was fine, pretty easy even up a moderate hill. My hunting partner tried it out a month...

    Separate Day for Quads and Hammies

    Man, even when you are not exercising, you exercising. And only 2k calories - you are eating the number of calories that sustain the metabolic rate of most inactive women. I bet if you bumped your calories, your body composition and strength would change dramatically. There is no way you have...

    Separate Day for Quads and Hammies

    Both. Also, the training volume. Probably your job too - is it physically and/or mentally stressful? I probably could have managed the demands you put on your body in my 20s, but I am in my late 40s now and I would be a wreck now. I would be getting sick all the time, grumpy, lethargic...

    Separate Day for Quads and Hammies

    Brother, you are running on empty, in my opinion.

    Separate Day for Quads and Hammies

    Seems like you have a lot going on. You have lost 30 pounds in less than a year - you are consistently in a caloric deficit, so your endurance, strength, and muscle mass gains will all be blunted. Your goals include both endurance and strength, which require different training approaches...

    2024 SKRE Gear reviews

    I was one of the lucky winners of the SKRE Venture Flex pants. So, first I want to give SKRE a big thank you for the pants. I am excited to see how these pants hold up. I have high expectations, and I will update this writeup once I have worn them in the field. So, here are my first impressions...

    Hearing protection at the range

    I double up at the range and I use the highest decibel rated muffs and plugs I can find. Other than that I don’t know what else can be done. My ears ring all the time as it is and I don’t want it getting worse.

    Choosing where to live in Colorado

    Do you currently work in the Springs? What’s your schedule? If you only do one commune a week, why not live somewhere an hour or two away? Lots of options. Castle Rock, Elizabeth, Bailey, Buena Vista, and everything in between. We are in Douglas County - schools are great, everything is...
