    Carry question (non hunting) UPDATED.

    Carry all the time or don't carry at all. I have left the house before forgetting my cell phone, but I have never left the home and forgot my concealed carry.

    Carry question (non hunting) UPDATED.

    Numerous great opinions on here. Personally I started with a S&W Shield and decided I wanted more capacity so I now carry a G19. Love it. I am 5-11 and about 180, normally carry between 3 and 4. The gun height is a bit larger, so I have to be a bit careful if I were to lean over. I carry in...

    The dreaded sidearm question...

    I always carry a sidearm regardless of the outdoor activity. The bear, cat, and moose, know you are there long before you know they are there so I don't ever expect to have to fire it in self defense from a charging bear, cat, or moose. I do however know that my 9mm will easily dispatch a...

    Sidearm carry

    I, like some, carry on my pack belt. When I drop the pack I move it to belt. No big deal. I would never use a drop holster on the leg. Had one in Iraq for 2 days then got rid of it. All it did was catch on stuff and rub back and forth no matter how tight I cinched it. Can't imagine walking...

    Exo vs mystery ranch?

    I have the same pack EXO K3 6400 and absolutely love it. Even though it is huge it packs down very well and I can even use it as a daypack. Go EXO the only other one I would consider are some of the offerings from Seek Outside, specifically the Lanner.

    Help me decide on a pack. SO, Exo, Kifaru experience needed

    I have the Exo, and it is funny the three you mention are the 3 that made my final list. In the end I choose the Exo for a couple of reasons. First, was the outside pocket configuration, would have had to do a custom Lanner from SO to get the same pocket configuration. Second I thought the...

    New Cimmaron

    You will love the Cimarron. I love mine. I did the DCF and dropped in a LBO nest with a stove jack. Awesome tent. Maybe the 5% code will convince me to go with the seek stove over the winnerwell.

    Which sleeping bag ?

    Volandre is a nice bag. On sale is even better.

    Talk me into a Seek Outside pack

    I have one of their shelters and it is top notch so I believe their packs would be the same, and would have no issue about pulling the trigger on SO equipment. I purchased my new pack last year, while I didn't go with the SO it was my #2 choice. Exo was my pick, but the SO Lanner was #2.

    Dies

    I would go FL with a seating die. Many good ones out there, Redding and Whidden Gun Works are what I think are two top brands. Check Brownells even Midway USA for die opinions. Spend some time on sites like Panhandle Precision or Precision Rifle Blog. So you spend an extra 100.00 for...

    Western Mountaineering or Feathered Friends for the bag and an Exped Pad.

    Seek Outside- No DCF?

    Super glad I got my Cimarron in that case. It is exceptional quality and a fantastic shelter.

    Backpacking bag vs Hunting Bag - Have my cake and eat it too

    I did the same thing as you are discussing, went with a hunting pack for backpacking which I do much more frequently. I got down to 3 bags, the Seek Outside, Kifaru, and Exo Mountain Gear. Exo was what I bought, LOVE IT. I have even used it as a day pack as it compresses down. I went with...

    Barrel Break in Procedure

    i dont pull it back through because I just pushed the crud out. I unscrew the brush once clear of the crown and pull the rod back through with nothing on it. I also use a chamber guide at the breech.

    Gender reveals.......

    Same as many on here. Gender reveal came at the moment of birth. Since that time there has been no question about the gender of our daughters, in our minds or theirs. While I am not a total fan of getting rid of the internet, as it is great for researching outdoor gear, I am in favor of...

    Pomoly Folding Titanium Stove - any experience?

    looks nice and almost a carbon copy of the winnerwell. seems heavy at 7.9 lbs vs the winnerwell or SO. I do really like the folding design. Wish SO would do a folding design. Id be all over that.

    Barrel Break in Procedure

    On my precision 6mm Creed Bartlein barrel I cleaned once before shooting. Then did 3 rounds with a wet patch, then 5 rounds with a wet patch, then 10 rounds and a wet patch. Really I was looking for any green (copper) residue on the patch. For all that effort I really had no green, just the...
