I have the KINGS CAMO XKG DOWN HOODED TRANSITION JACKET 800 FILL. If this is the jacket you're referring to, it's a really nice jacket. It's very light and "puffy" and does a great job of keeping the warm in and cold out. I wore it a few days ago in a biting wind and was surprised at how...
As someone else said, working full time and trying to get an EE degree will be immensely difficult and long. Probably 3x longer than if not working and it'll suck all your free time. Doubtful you'll finish as it'll be a mental drag and you'll start a family long before getting near the end...
I have Salomon X Ultra Mid GTX and Salomon Quest 4D 3 GTX, and Crispi Kenai and Crispi Summit.
For out-of-the-box comfort (no break-in) and lightweight, Salomon's are tough to beat. I've had great luck with both pair of Salomon's. They've held up well and I haven't experienced a failure of...
Agree 100%. I bet if you removed the brand name and distinguishing characteristics, most wouldn't be able to tell the difference between $1000 glass and $3000 glass.
I bought a pair of Crispi Kenai's recently and wore them for late season. Never noticed or paid attention to this "rocker", but after reading this thread, I vaguely remember feeling what the OP described when walking on pavement or hard, flat ground. In the woods, it isn't noticeable. I...
The bow hangers are great for when you want to do some glassing. Just hang your bow and grab the binos. They eliminate the need to find a place to lay your bow down or trying to balance it against your body.
Doubtful you'll be walking any significant distance with it hanging; it's bangs...
I carried the Squirt for many years. The blade got used almost daily (opening boxes usually) and the pliers 2-3 times per week.
My biggest gripe with the Squirt is the non-locking blade. And it's just a bit too small. I wish they made something slightly bigger with spring-action pliers...
I experienced this same issue where the belt seemed to pinch my hips, but I'm assuming it's something I have wrong with the setup. Zack packed way more than 40# during his Backpack Shoutout review so I have to believe it's a setup issue on my part. Agree on the bags...
I've only tried MH and Peak Refuel. Both taste pretty good. The MH seems to have more volume (more food in the pouch), but the PR has more meat, bolder flavors, and seems more hearty IMO.
Agree. I think that's why he chose to murder 4 people. He wanted national news - a big murder mystery so he could revel in his superiority. And he planned to keep doing it - making it more spectacular each time - as a little game to him. Certainly didn't expect to get caught on his first...
The Viper was on my list so I'm glad you posted up. My only concern with the Viper is the size as you mentioned, and I don't need that kind of range either. I'm almost exclusively a bow hunter, but with a rifle, 500 yds would be about the longest shot I'd take.
I can see how the wheel would be very handy for brightness adjustments, and very easy to use because of it's location.
My hang-ups on the RF.1 are:
1. Size -
2. The wheel getting caught on the pouch
3. The wheel getting damaged if dropped
Well, shoot, Kyle; you provided such a thorough and detailed reply, that I couldn't help but go and read your write up on the RF.1 also. And I came away feeling that my resistance to the "wheel" is based on some wrong assumptions on my part. Hell, you nearly have me talked into getting the...
Hey Kyle, I'm glad you posted up. I wasn't aware that Maven made the CRF.1 without the side dial which makes it much more appealing to me. I really appreciate guys like yourself taking the time to do these reviews.
The video showed that the readings are quite hard to read depending on the...
