    Questions about floorless shelters

    When you say bivy, I assume you’re talking about the waterproof bags that go over your sleeping bag? What need is there for that if the shelter keeps the rain/moisture off you? I’ve never used one of those before so I figured they were instead of a more traditional shelter rather than in...

    Questions about floorless shelters

    That's kind of what I'm starting to think. I may still end up with one at some point just so I can run a stove in it, but that will probably wait until I'm going to be on a real cold weather backpacking trip.

    Questions about floorless shelters

    Yes, it seems that a nest would kind of address these things, but much of the weight savings is lost there. In that case I might as well use the freestanding tent I've got. I'm just trying to decide whether I'd want to use one without a nest enough to justify spending the money on one. Based on...

    Bear Calling?

    I’ve got a pretty nice e caller that I got for calling coyotes. Spent a decent amount of time doing it in some pretty high density places in Idaho without any luck. I’ve used a variety of calf, fawn, rabbit distress calls. If you’ve got the time it might not be a bad idea to get a couple hand...

    Questions about floorless shelters

    Yes that is helpful. I get the thought of trying to pitch in a place that rain won't flow, but I've seen rain so heavy that everywhere was a puddle. I did search, but didn't find satisfactory answers to the three questions I asked. Your story is one of the things that keeps me buying one. I...

    Questions about floorless shelters

    I've been doing lots of reading lately and it seems like many people are fans of floorless shelters. I am trying to lighten my pack and figure going floorless would be a great way to shave some ounces. That being said, there are some questions I have about them that are keeping me from fully...

    Knee Scope

    With the meniscectomy/clean up you had done, you could be back to normal within a couple days. However, the microfracture takes much longer depending on the size of the defect it’s intended to replace. The goal of that is essentially to get a blood clotting to form which later fills in with...

    2024 NRL Hunter schedule

    Yep, I live around 30 minutes from where the match will be so I think I’ll likely try that one. Unfortunately, I’ve never shot any sort of match before so can’t lean on prior experience. That was my thought, but there’s a certain level of competency with most things that below which you’re just...

    2024 NRL Hunter schedule

    For those who have shot one of these before, what does it take to be competitive/not look like a fool. I’ve got a new hunting rifle on the way that I’d love to bring to one of these matches near me, but I’ve never done a competition like this and I’m not sure if there’s enough time between now...

    WTT LRM Primers for Large

    I know this is a long shot, but I’m looking to trade someone Large Rifle Magnum primers for Large Rifle. I’ve got both CCI and Federal LRM. I’d prefer CCI but definitely not picky. I’m located in NE Missouri but travel all over Eastern Iowa as well.

    Depreciation of Bows

    That’s cool. I don’t know much about trad bows but I’ll have to look into that. I’ve kicked around the idea of buying a recurve, but my lack of success with a compound has made me hesitant to make the game harder haha

    This is exactly the kind of reply I’d expect from someone who’s screen name is “Rams Dudes”

    Depreciation of Bows

    As far as being made to last, one of my friends dads shoots a bow from the late 90’s so I don’t think that’s necessarily true. Your second and third points definitely make sense. I didn’t think about the size aspect. I also think you could say the same about the way rifles have changed since the...

    Depreciation of Bows

    I’ve thought a lot lately about how quickly bows lose their value. Just today I saw a guy selling an RX5 in great condition on Facebook for $600. After just three years, he’s selling it for 1/3 of what he paid for it. Quality guns might lose 10-15% of their value when they’re first shot, but...
