I’m up in longmont if you want to try out a kifaru, exo, and SO. The SO is the only one with upper and lower belt pulls. The SO is also new and in the classifieds.
I wish more private landowners would do this. Can you imagine how much more public land we’d have to hunt at a small fraction of our annual recreational budget? Hell, I once paid an outfitter to haul me and my camp across national forest that I own! It was too far for me to hike and haul...

This. I’ll get up and move if a guy sets up by me at the range, or I just stare at him until he backs off the gun for a moment to let me get a shot in. I’m also a lefty so that can put me right next to them sometimes.
I shoot an un-braked tikka t3x light (not super light) 7mm rem mag with no issues. I put the newer aftermarket airtech limbsaver on it which is a huge help. I also recently put that pad on my old browning a-bolt 300 win mag and it was an improvement over the older limbsaver I put on it when I...
I have the lobos triple s pillow from lswild (thunderbird long range). It’s now standard when I’m hunting muleys. Great rear rest when using a spartan precision bipod on the front. Incredibly light, and I can leave my thermarest z seat at home. If I’m backpacking and sleeping in my SO silex...
I read In the Heart of the Sea all in one sitting without putting it down. You can be the judge of whether it’s good tent material but I like something that keeps my mind from wandering. I also like MUZZLELOADER magazine. Really good history pieces in each one - Boone, Sam Houston, other...
I’m not a big fan of gutless if the animal is in a spot where I can gut it. I have done gutless then at the end just cut it open from groin to neck to grab the tenderloins, heart, and belly meat. I just didn’t pull the entrails out from esophagus to anus like I would do at the beginning of...
I’ve done that recipe several times now and it’s great. I do his blade roast recipe with shank also. That one has sweet potatoes in it. I used to do bone in shank but anymore I just bone them out.
You absolutely have to try bon appetite’s braised short rib recipe. I use neck meat and I...
I don’t know what that flat piece is called but I think I saved it from the grind this year to make a small rouladen of sorts. I saved some larger flat pieces from the shoulders and over-rib meat for this preparation as well.
I’ve packed in my seek outside 4 man tipi with stove by myself with no issues and it has plenty of room for two. Having a stove and ability to stand up, or at least not crawl around is so nice. I don’t do a lot of backpacking but id be looking at a floorless tipi style with stove.
New outcast jacket from enlightened equipment. No opinions or experience. I just saw this come out. I have the torrid pants I planned to use for backpack ice fishing but I haven’t tried them yet. Super light quality product.

If the Lyman 57 receiver sight is unavailable, check out or email Williams gunsight to see if they have a tang peep that might work. I just bought a Williams tang peep for a 58 TC renegade that I’m refurbishing.
