    Fool me once Salewa….

    Dang. I literally got a set of mountain trainer lights this week. My first Salewa shoes. They got high marks on outdoor gear lab, which is a decent review site IMO. I hoped they might be better than the Salamons they are replacing. I got a decent price on them - $105 - so I guess if I...

    44 magnum barrel 4 vs 6 inches

    Go ahead and make all the penis jokes you need to... was debating 44 magnums last night at the gun club. Pros and cons of each barrel length. - 4” inch carries more easily. - Some states require 6 or more for handgun hunting. one guy said 4 inch loses so much velocity due to unburned...

    2024 Mystery Ranch Hunting Packs

    So I bought one of their gravely 18 day packs. I plan to use it alone for some day trips and in place of a lid on longer trips. I like the idea of leaving my main pack at camp and having a day pack I can use for hunting. it’s well built and well thought out. Attaching it at the top...

    Anoraks....any Love?

    I like the concept of anoraks but seem to grab a full zip for my “serious” outings. I have a “bushcrafter” wool version made by a boutique. It is cool but it doesn’t get a lot of use honestly. Filson has their wool and shelter cloth versions. Love their stuff. Both tempt me but I...

    New MR Ultra Light frame vs guide lite

    Saw this in the FAQ for the new metcalf. Makes me think it is a pretty easy adaptation to go from the MT frame to the Ultra light frame. Seems like it only takes a few $ worth of hardware on the bottom compression straps to make it work. Will the ULTRA LIGHT METCALF bag fit on the GUIDE...

    What TV shows need to come back?

    I had high hopes for the magnum reboot. Sadly they were realized. I would go for an A team reboot but it would be hard to replace Mr t.

    New MR Ultra Light frame vs guide lite

    I tend to agree. Looked at the pics and videos and it looks to me like it is the same hardware in the same places as the MT. I am a self proclaimed MR fanboy, but it is a poor show for them not to specify if this thing is backward compatible with older packs. Also, the fact that they don’t...

    Thru hike: trail runners or boots

    Have you trained your fit for the hokas? IMO it takes a bit of training to adapt to the more flexible soles and lack of ankle support if you are more used to traditional boots. I did a 25 miler for charity on a trail a few weeks ago. I opted for mid weight hikers, primarily because I have...

    New MR Ultra Light frame vs guide lite

    Hmmmm. so on a whim, I called MR Customer service And asked. She said the gravelly would work on an MT frame but might need some straps that they sell. Basically an updated mule with stand alone function. She said no plans to sell the ultra light frame solo or new bag only options at this...

    New MR Ultra Light frame vs guide lite

    Curious too. I have not seen or heard from anyone that has handled one yet. From the pics it looks like they are backward compatible. The attachment points on the mt and the new frame appear similar. Looks like they carved a bit of meat out of the frame board and added the ladder attachment...

    Kuiu piece you can’t hunt without?

    Their pants are tops for me. Been a tiburon and attack fan for a long time. Finally got a pair of kutanas and love those too. They seem like they will be ideal from 70s down close to freezing. for colder temps, I like my set of axis hybrids. Great in cold snow and wet. Apart from...

    Xmid 1 or 2 mainly will be used for solo hunting

    2P is not a bad option. Doesn’t cost much more. Adds a half pound and some people note that it needs a pretty big site to set up. If you are thinking about spending extra $$$ for dcf, the newish 1.5 person tent from zpacks has my attention. https://zpacks.com/products/duplex-lite
