    Spending 70,000 to avoid owed taxes.

    Depending on if you’re qualified investor a Direct participation project in oil and gas may be an option. Haven’t researched it enough lately but from memory roughly 90% is deductible. To Be clear, I have never personally invested but have chatted with a few guys that have. Definitely not for...

    Retrax truck bed cover question

    Too add, I think you can get the bakflip with the t slot rail like the retrax has. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Retrax truck bed cover question

    I’ve had one on two trucks. It was decent, but I did get really tired of the canister and losing that bed space. I have since switched the bakflip and like it quite a bit more. Much more low profile as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Ski touring / AT gear

    Getting closer to that time of year. Took advantage of the 2’ in the front range to skin by the house. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Aron Snyder leaving Kifaru

    Any specific reason why? SG seems to be doing great post Vista acquisition. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Hunting outerwear vs ski wear

    Only downside with the chugach or similar jacket is lack of powder skirt and hood not being compatible with a helmet. I agree with everyone above about getting actual ski pants/bibs. I’d skip the hunting brand mitts and get some black diamond mercurys. Should be under 100 and warmer/burlier...

    Sheep scope tripod?

    For just using a spotter, I’d try the aoka off amazon. It’s not robust and you aren’t shooting off of it, but works well enough on a 65ish spotter to take a look at rams. Weighs significantly less and is super easy to pack. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Two parter, Browning X Bolt and Round Choice

    Only relevant comment I have after everyone else’s thoughts is that by going with a 22” barrel you’d be robbing the 300WM of a decent amount of speed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Rifle and Scope?

    I’d ask your friend to prove it. That 3k could buy a ton of range time and/or test running and lightening the rest of your kit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Vasectomy

    To be clear, are you suggesting that a man that gets a vasectomy so he does not put his wife at risk or has determined that he has all the children he can provide for, a selfish pussy? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Rifle and Scope?

    This would be my vote. Sub out a kimber Montana/MA if you want crf and shave a few oz. I carried a 30-06 Montana with 2.5-15x42 credo and was very pleased. All in was a touch over 7 pounds if I remember right. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    2 on/2 off work schedule

    Did it for a few years before kids while wife was in grad school. Loved it. I’d be cautious doing it with small kids, but wouldn’t abandon the idea either. I think the best factor is your relationship with wife and her personality/temperament. I have plenty of friends that worked this schedule...

    Best tent for Alaska sheep hunt

    I’ve only had one trip with the akto; if snow not realistically expected it’s a phenomenal choice. The only reason I sold mine was due to snow performance. 3” or so of wet snow really impacted mine. I wanted something that withstood that better. But if snow not a big concern I think it’s an...

    Quitting Alcohol

    NAs were/are great for me. I drink a solid amount of them but they really scratched to itch for me. The ones out now are pretty damn good and a million times better than odouls. With that being said, I have very close friends that won’t touch them as it just makes them want the real thing...

    Men’s Mental Health Challenge

    Couldn’t agree more. Well said. On days I’m trying to be a victim I remind myself there’s a man out there that would give everything he had to give to be able to spend one second with his family. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Port Strike

    I think the market determines this. My own position is that the union should embrace and champion automation or any technology that makes commerce more efficient by ensuring their members are adequately trained and skilled and not made irrelevant. Why can’t the longshoreman become experts it...

    Port Strike

    What do you think is a fair wage and where is the cut off for job roles /skills/responsibilities for someone to earn it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
