    Newly lost faith in health care

    Well, I'll politely disagree that doctors are trained in a way where they look at nutrition specifically. Lifestyle, i have seen in some cases. But going through what someone eats and providing advice has never happened from a dr in a comprehensive way. If you do that, that is awesome. I've...

    Newly lost faith in health care

    With all due respect...No...it is true. I didn't say all of them, just most. This is from Dr and nurses who have told me that. This is why there are dietitians and naturopath docs. You guys have your talents and are highly trained and intelligent, and you have saved my life two times. But the...

    Newly lost faith in health care

    The super great majority of doctors receive little to no nutritional training. So good luck. Be an advocate for yourself. A few starters... no or very little sugar, no pre-made food, fast food, good fats only from nuts, Avocado, and fish. More fiber. Very little or no alcohol. Avoid high...

    Unpopular Opinion: I don't like Dave Ramsey

    I see the most common difference between people who dislike Ramseys advice versus the people who like his advice, which is the recognition of the existence of unforeseen and uncontrollable risks in life that can have devastating consequences. When these circumstances happen, divorce, death...

    Pay off mortgage or make monthly payments and invest the rest?

    I had a few friends who operated similar to what you described. They did rather well until 2008. Then they didn't. I'm not in contact with any of them anymore, but the last I spoke to them, they were all short selling properties and trying to avoid bankruptcy. Not sure how it worked out. I...

    New bow? What to gain?

    There are solutions for this, which you probably know exist. I've had this happen in the past, and it was because the arrow/bow combination was wrong, and/or the bow needed tuning. I don't want to derail your thread, but if you need help with this, start another thread. There are guys here who...

    Do you 'test-drive' your new gear before the season?

    Depending on its function, it depends on if I test it. If it's critical to survival or comfort, it's tested. Sent from my SM-S918U using Tapatalk

    Pay off mortgage or make monthly payments and invest the rest?

    This will be highly contested...and for good reasons. I will pay off my house. This will happen when my youngest graduates college in 4 years. At that point, I should have around 250k left on the mortgage. The house value at that time will be around 700k, or more, depending on the market. It's...

    New bow? What to gain?

    I went from a Hoyt Axius Ultra to an Alpha X2. Got my second bow because I like a backup, and I had the money sitting there burning a hole in my pocket. Additionally, my bow arm shoulder has issues from a prior injury, and my bow elbow will be sore when I shoot a lot. I believe it's from...

    First pack recomendations

    If you are new backpacking, you'll discover there is a stepping learning curve to get your gear dialed for you. My suggestion is after you get I what you think you'll need together, do an overnight hike. Evaluate the function and comfort of everything,and make sure to try and use all of your...

    Late season advice - gear/tips?

    When glassing or if you are getting cold, put your rain gear on. It will block wind from blowing away your heat. When it's really cool and plan on sitting for long periods, I'll bring my Kifaru woobie. I love that thing. Sent from my SM-S918U using Tapatalk

    Late season advice - gear/tips?

    This is why I carry actual bottles to drink water out of, instead of, or in addition to, a bladder. I can actually see how much fluid I have consumed. This is particularly helpful on the day 3-4 when your body is making and fluahing chemicals to adapt to high altitude. Being properly hydrated...

    Backup irons or backup scope

    This year, I was sighting in a rifle that shoots 1/2 moa. Nightforce scope and rings, EGW base. I pulled the scope off the gun while at the range and recounted it. It shot ~2" left at 100 yards. I double checked the rings and tightened it slightly more and then shot a group 1" left. I guess...

    Backup irons or backup scope

    In the last 20-plus years, we have needed to use our backup rifles 3-4 times. A broken bolt handle on one rifle, dropped rifles where the backup was used the next day instead of checking zero, two broken stocks and maybe another situation I can't recall. I've also had hunting partners need to...
