    Exo K4 3600 or 5000

    I have used a K3 4800 for everything from hunting, scouting, hiking, SAR, and snowmobiling. That said, I dropped to the 3600 for the K4, and I do not feel that the 3600 is much smaller than the 4800.

    How much better is K4 than Kuiu?

    I have both Kuiu and K4. I like the bag layout on the Kuiu, and it does a good all-around job, but the K4 is much better at hauling weight. I dislike the load sling set up on the Kuiu, as you have to remove your pack to use it for hauling, and I do not like hauling odd-shaped meat loads just...

    Validating what the computer is telling you is always a good thing to do IMO.

    Rem 700 Pattern .223 Trainer Rifle Recs

    The only issue with shooting a Tikka is you will probably ask yourself is the Havak giving you that much more performance when you compare costs. Not bashing them but it’s hard to beat a Tikka for the money.

    Help selecting new mountain rifle

    Had a 7PRC and sold it just not worth the hype. I have a 6.5PRC and it’s my second favorite next to the 6CM.

    Trekking Poles for Quick Stix

    I have been using the Sissy Sticks since they first came out and they have held up to all kinds of abuse. If I broke one I would buy them again.

    Muzzleloader Noobie Questions

    Lots of options when it comes to ML’s you need to obviously follow whatever the state regs are first then go look at some to see what you like. There is a big difference between an inline and a traditional side hammer, the side hammer just feels better to me. I use a CO2 powered bullet remover...

    Meat tarps

    I’m not a fan of using my shelter tarp for a meat tarp. I classify my shelter tarp as a critical piece of gear. Which means I have to get it clean , dried off and back into my pack before I go back to the field. I normally use either contractor bags or a piece of painters plastic so I can just...

    PEAX Headlamp

    The bands suck. The red light on High is probably the brightest I have seen but I don’t think they live up to the hype of the best headlamps ever. Wouldn’t buy them again.

    What caliber would you start a hunter with?

    Really can’t go wrong with either one, in my area 6.5CM has the 08 beat in available factory ammo. Both are long life so that’s a wash.

    Inreach/zoleo talk to each other

    Good catch, I forgot to mention that in my post for InReach to InReach comms you have to use the email address that is linked to your device and probably need to do the same with the Zoleo to InReach.

    Load Development ?'s (Noob thread)

    I wasn’t very clear that I continue to go over max load until I see signs of pressure then back down .5 grain. I am looking for the most accurate highest grain load. I have seen a lot of friends get hung up on the chrono results and get fixated on trying all kinds of minor tweeks trying to...

    Load Development ?'s (Noob thread)

    I do not use one. If I settle on a final load, I range validate it.
