    Really Right Stuff Ultralight Tripod

    I dual-purpose my Gitzo tripods for rifles and Canons. Wouldn’t hesitate to do that with RRS.

    Kuiu Axis Jacket Fit Help

    I wear XL Kuiu jackets and the XL Axis is too slim for layering under on me. It feels like a L. The other Kuiu jacket that doesn’t fit like the rest is the Elements. It almost feels like a 2XL on me. Despite the odd sizing in the lineup I love both jackets In XL as casual wear. The arm...

    New To Bowhunting / Archery

    Same here, except I went to the shop first because my wife wanted to start too. Ended up with the V3X and she got the Elite Ember. It has been really fun sharing a hobby with her where we are both novices and learning together. The archery shop is more accommodating than the gun shop on first...

    Boots for Wide Feet

    Been wearing Danners, but they don’t hold up long. Switched to Crispi and these fat feet have been happy.

    Base Layers?

    Although I haven't experienced New Mexico on a hunting trip (used to travel there a lot), I would like to throw a vote in the thread for Kuiu's Merino 120 tops and their 145 Merino bottom. I wear the top as a baselayer most of the year in Vermont. In the summer, I have worn it as the outer...

    30-06 ammo

    I ordered some from OpticsPlanet because it showed in stock. 1 month later, I’m still getting emails saying “hang in there it is coming.” was able to get 2 boxes locally, but it was slim pickings. They are also running a 2 box limit per customer.

    Suppressor wait times

    Cashed 11/03/21 Approved 08/10/22 Received 08/23/22 That was 3 cans on a trust. Pre-e-Form. Bought another one yesterday to go through e-Form. EDIT: added another 2 on Sep 20. Now have a total of 3 going through the eForm system.

    Christensen Ridgeline FFT

    Mine came in and out of the box it is way smoother than my Ridgeline Scout. Put a Dead Air brake on for my Sandman’s. Recoil on this 30-06 is so tame! Even with the silencer on it is right back on target. Only 40 rounds so far. Groupings are not nearly as good as the Scout’s, but the Scout is...

    Truck Shopping

    As far as the market goes, it is on the decline now. Used car prices are coming down. However, they are still a bit above where they should be in my opinion. Because new cars are still in short supply, although a few of our dealers are starting to see an extra truck or two per month, the used...

    Kuiu added Whitetail Gear…

    Went in on the beanie and face mask as those are always useful for 11 months of the year in Vermont.

    Best bang for buck scope

    Maven is hard to argue in the quality for dollar arena. Especially the CRS line.

    Crispi Nevada insulated vs non

    Unless your bare feet get cold in the summer, I wouldn't consider insulated boots until you're spending most of your time in 20s and under temps. Here in Vermont, the cold-susceptible ice fishers and late-season stand hunters wear 1200-gram insulation boots. Those are usually rubber. I...

    Kayak Photography - Sit on top or Sit in ??

    To answer your question, the paddling of a kayak is where water comes from. Peddling minimizes the water dripping over the top and reduces the amount of care you need to take with sensitive electronics. Wind and waves will create the same splashes no matter if you sit above or in a boat. The...

    Kayak Photography - Sit on top or Sit in ??

    I run a Hobie Pro Angler 12” on the lakes, ponds, and rivers of Vermont. Fall, Spring, Summer. Winter is too icy. My wife uses the Hobie Outback. When we first got them we transported them in the back of a short bed F150. I ran a hitch support to provide a little more security as the boats...
