    Inreach advice please

    I use the InReach Mini and OnX. I got OnX for 1 state (Idaho) for $20 on sale. Works great offline on my old Samsung Note 4. The Earthmate map is pretty primitive compared to OnX, but good enough for casual viewing. I think there is a way to ship waypoints from Earthmate, via kml, to OnX, but...

    Bear are probably the biggest source of parasites. If you are comfortable with cooking the bugs to death then eat bear.

    12x Binoculars: The Perfect Optic For Western Hunting, By Jake Potter

    Nope, I guess I'm the contrarion. 8x is the sweet spot for "handiness". 10x is hard for most to hold steady off hand and 12x doesn't get any better. If you want a spotter, buy a spotter.

    Sleeping Bag VS Quilt

    If you are larger than a hobbit, a side-sleeper, and not trying to sleep lower than the 20's F, then a quilt is the best choice. IMHO. You can sleep to about freezing without much experience. To about 20*f with some know how (a system). To 0*f with some serious gear and a system. Below zero...

    Beta shooting Chrony

    Only consider the remote display models. The Alpha Master is the best feature/$ IMO.

    Let’s talk chronographs.

    Whatever you get, make sure it has a remote display.

    9MM ammo for bears defense?

    Testing says otherwise. Plain 147gr hardcast is far better. See links in earlier posts.

    Talk me out of a 30-06

    More like 200fps faster with newer powders. The 308 is case limited.

    9MM ammo for bears defense?

    I think you would be much better off with hardcast. Here is some info from a fellow who tested "extreme penetrators": https://general-cartridge.com/category/field-loads/

    Broadhead for elk?

    Back in the days of covered wagons and dinosaurs, that statement was largely true. Arrow speeds were not much over 200fps. But at some point arrow speeds started pushing 300fps, and some broadheads designs would just snap in two on impact. And that is why the long aluminum ferrule multi-blades...

    Trump waterways/wetlands roll back

    It took 60 years for the city of Portland, OR to address million gallon sewer spills into the Willamette river. The spills are reduced by 90+%, but not eliminated (heavy rainfall can still overwhelm the system). (We used to joke about catching salmon using tampons for lures.) During this time...

    Powder Scales

    Trump waterways/wetlands roll back

    So you have absolutely no clue what these changes are, but because Trump changed them, it must be bad?

    If Apple has their way, "cellular" will be a thing of the past. They are working to go full satellite.
