    If you could move anywhere?

    I've been here for over 30 years (ok, been a landowner here for 31 years, only lived here 26 years). Raised my kids here K-12, both are MSU grads. My parents lived here in the 40's and 50's. Yeah, it's not what it was in the 1950's, but nothing in America is. In fact, nothing in America is what...

    If you could move anywhere?

    That's pretty funny. Everywhere in the USA has drugs, crime and the homeless, and I'd take those things here over most anywhere else. "A "shit-show everywhere"... give me a break.

    Anyone live in or near Jackson WY?

    Were I you, I'd call a couple gun stores and get their opinion. They'd probably take and hold a shipment from you. Also, there's at least one pawn shop in Jackson that holds an ffl and has firearms.

    Coffee Experts--Input Needed

    She's not going to do Pour Over, French Press, or want an Espresso machine if she's just doing instant. I'd suggest something simpler like a great quality drip coffee maker. Most drip makers don't heat the water to the right temp at all, so that narrows down the field. I've used most of the...

    Moving to Missoula, MT… bad idea?

    To each his own, but within reason I'd never let politics determine where I want to live. There are a LOT more liberal communities in the USA than Missoula, Montana. And in Montana even most liberals are pretty easy going and accepting of hunting.

    Is there one brand that is truly the best for carrying weight?

    It's a thing, period. I see it backpacking constantly. I'd say 90-95% of the packs I see aren't fitted or worn (driven) correctly. It's one reason so many pack makers abandoned internals with tunable/bendable/shapeable stays and went to the fits-all, generic, trampoline frames. Even then, the...

    Is there one brand that is truly the best for carrying weight?

    The Barney's looks about as good as it gets for pure heavy load hauling. I've gone back to floating, full wrap-around hip belts. When I had more of a butt, a belt with a lumbar pad was fine, but I'm eating my words (and old opinion) - overall, a wraparound belt will stay cinched and not slip...

    Moving to Missoula, MT… bad idea?

    It's still Montana, and there are very few places I wouldn't live in Montana compared to Georgia.

    Accubond performance??

    I took a bedded antelope buck at 548 yards with a 180 Partition in my 300 WSM. It was a one shot and dead scenario. I suppose "long range" is how you define it. Regardless, inside 600+ yards there's nothing wrong with a Partition, and it is still a fantastic bullet. As to Accubonds, I've shot a...

    Sold MSR Hubba 1P

    Great tent - a complete steal of a price. If I didn't have one I'd buy it, but my solo tent quiver runneth over.

    Considering a move with family need suggestions

    Sort of tough to answer without more information... 1. What sort of work do you and your wife do? 2. Are you natives of NH? 3. Do you have family there? 4. What general geographic area are you interested in? 5. Do you mind heat and humidity? 6. Can you live South of the Mason Dixon Line? 7...

    Are the any Ski Areas left out West that havent been ruined?

    I live in Bozeman, but in 2010 took a trip out to see Bend. I'd followed its weather and was curious about it, especially given I've use Nosler bullets since the1980's. At that time Bend was 75,000 people. It was the downturn, and housing was a bit less than here. However, in the intervening 13...
