    Death Hike/ 3 day Softrock100 - Hiking video

    Here’s a video my buddy made of our (in my case attempt) of a 3 day Softrock100 hike - this is the Hardrock100 course. Stats definitely put it squarely into a death hike category though for me there wasn’t too much mental suffering other than deciding to stop and spare my knee for my rapidly...

    Ultralight optics... spotter vs image Stabilized Binos

    How would you compare the mini razor hd to the Mavin? I have the razor and don’t love it and my buddy has the Maven but I haven’t looked through it much though my initial impression was that I definitely preferred it.

    CO Mosquitos

    I grew up in CO and lived in the mountains - basically never saw or got any ticks as a kid. The last several years my dad who still lives there picks up quite a few ticks every spring. The area burned in a fire about 10years ago and so the habitat definitely changed. Might be that or just that...

    Ultralight optics... spotter vs image Stabilized Binos

    I have been thinking when I replace my little angled vortex spotted eventually that a straight spotter would be better for this same reason. I glass with my binos and then check stuff with the spotter primarily.

    Ultralight optics... spotter vs image Stabilized Binos

    My buddy and I split a pair of the pervious generation of zulu6’s in 16x thinking they could replace a spotter and tripod for certain hunts. They could and they do work very well - BUT I don’t enjoy looking through them for even mildly extended amounts of time and their clarity and light...

    This is so impressive to get it done like that with your boys! I have an 8 year old and hope 4 year old and hope we can find some success like that in a few years!

    Cold Plunges?

    This is the article I had read: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3459038/#:~:text=Cold%20water%20submersion%20can%20induce,and%20the%20'diving%20response'. It won’t stop me from taking a full dip in an alpine lake but for a daily cold plunge I am fine keeping my head up.

    Cold Plunges?

    I did a daily cold plunge for all of February this year and have been doing them off and on since (if it’s cold enough) don’t have a chiller yet so for February it was more about keeping it from being frozen. Definitely woke me up and seemed to help with recovery from running. I like the...

    2024 NRL Hunter schedule

    I shot my first NRL hunter match (first match of any kind) in Laramie WY last weekend and it was a total blast even with the less the ideal weather conditions we had on the first day. Made some dumb mistakes that I learned from and can’t wait to try another one next year. I didn’t use my...

    Ever Used Your Sidearm While Hunting?

    I dug into this question a few years back and found that these two studies used all over the place to “prove” that bear spray is more effective don’t prove that. They were done separately looking at the effectiveness of each in isolation and the author stated they weren’t meant to be compared...
