    Sleeping systems

    Oh gotcha I thought you were comparing their synthetic to down bags. I have the 600 and it’s been great, 800 would be better but if you can get the 600 for a steal I wouldn’t hesitate.

    Fox/bobcat caliber & coyote capable

    My buddy wacks coyotes all the time with his 17wsm typically inside 200 yds. He’s not concerned with fur so I can’t say what they do on the other side but he abuses the hell out of his bmag as it’s his beater varmint ranch gun and it seems to shoot very well. Might as well try it before moving...

    Sleeping systems

    I was just commenting on what you were commenting on and thought that’s what they were talking about. Mine is the Dri down bag. Good bag, packs small and is plenty light. I was on a tight budget when I bought it and couldn’t find a better value. I am 6’4 225 and in the long it fits good though I...

    Sleeping systems

    I have one of those, heck of a bag for the money, I use it like a quilt when it is too warm out, works good for me 75% of the time. I wanted something a bit warmer and with a little more room so I got a wm badger that I’ll do the same with. I like the option of being able to zip it up if it gets...

    Wildest part of your state or province

    This is true. The government here definitely sucks in every way. However since I’m stuck here for at least another year or two, I might as well take advantage of how awesome the state actually is physically. Last weekend I drove 1 1/2 hrs up hwy 1 to Big Sur and camp at the plasket creek...

    J.C. Higgins Model 51

    Those are awesome old rifles. I had one I stupidly sold years ago… great Mauser action and a high standard barrel. The plain stock didn’t make it a looker but I liked the understated working man’s hunting rifle look. They used to be found dirt cheap until the newer mass produced rifles quality...

    I have a gun dilemma shotgun or rifle

    .280ai would be a very useful and versatile caliber. You didn’t mention what rifle calibers you already own so that might be a factor. If you already have a 30-06 or whatever that you like and shoots good and plan on maybe hunting elk once in awhile I’d personally skip spending money on an fancy...

    Best 275/75 (or 70) x18 AT for mountain roads

    Been using bfg ko2 for quite awhile now and have never had an issue with 3 sets of them. My buddy just got a set of bfg km3 that are more aggressive and look like they’d be better in snow and mud.

    Truck problems, new engine or new truck?

    After getting a second opinion from another mechanic and confirming the first’s diagnosis, if the trucks still runs ok I’d run it to the dealership and see what you’d get for a trade in. They are paying stupid money for trucks and you’ll probably get way more than it was worth a year or two ago...

    Dogs and the working family

    This is the right answer. There’s plenty of older dogs people have to get rid of for whatever reason or just end up at the animal shelter because they got lost. Hanging out at home alone during the day and getting to be with the family in the evening would be a way better life for them than the...

    Truck Questions

    I like my snugtop, Sportsman package with the 500lb cap Roof for when I haul stuff on the racks. The side flip up windoors were worth the money for access to the front without unloading the back. I do miss being able to haul taller stuff in an open bed sometimes and thought about getting a soft...

    Non-stick frying pans

    I keep a few non sticks around for extra pans for my cooking impaired wife and Step daughter to cook eggs in, we get them from Costco in a 3 pack every year or two depending on how fast they destroy them. I typically use cast iron. A big lodge skillet and a lodge griddle I got at Walmart 15...

    Best Caliber for Deer for 200+ Yard Shots?

    There’s a lot of calibers that can easily do that well. If you don’t like recoil head that direction, if it’s going to be possibly a rifle you’ll use for other stuff and don’t mind recoil head that direction. I like a .280 myself for deer and pigs. It’s a nice middle ground to me with enough...

    OR winter sale starts a tomorrow

    I must’ve signed up for something with them last time I bought something and got the sale a week early. I just received my Juneau fleece today. Looks awesome for around town etc and was half price. Of course the weather just got weird and will be 75+ degrees for at least another week so I guess...

    Redneck truck bed trailer

    Another way to go could be to sell the truck and buy a small enclosed cargo trailer. I’ve seen some turned into pretty nice campers. I’ve been thinking about getting one myself. I have a travel trailer, but for hunting trips it would work out better for me. I figure gear can go in totes, plenty...

    Favorite garden vegetable or fruit

    I have no idea if they’d work where you are, but artichokes were fun to grow a couple years ago. They grow like crazy on the ca coast and are awesome steamed or split in half and grilled. Something different from the usual stuff. When I lived in ky okra was easy to grow and is great fried...

    Any Mtn Ops "Prize Winners"?

    I won a bha raffle that was a pretty big prize, had a bunch of stuff from various companies including yeti and I noticed that the stuff all trickled in from the directly from the different companies at various times spread out over a couple months. I actually still haven’t received a kayak...

    Swarovski spotting scope cover?

    There’s plenty of knock off neoprene covers for a fraction of swaro cost. The vet tape isn’t a bad idea, lighter and slimmer if you’re basically just trying to keep it from the occasional scrape. My buddy gave me some tape for my bow to put on a spot by the rest so it would keep things quiet if...

    Best all-around butchering knife

    Butchering or field dressing? Field dressing I’ve been using a outdoor edge swing blade mostly. Butchering I use a few different dexter russel knives depending on what I’m cutting. I added one of their curved boning knives to my set this year and really like it. They’re reasonably priced, seem...
