    Carnivore Diet

    It was easy for me - I only drank one small cup of regular coffee a day.. Had slight headaches for a few days. As long as I sleep well, I just don't need the caffeine at all. I did it because my adrenals were completely tapped out and I didn't need to stimulate them harder. After a couple...

    Carnivore Diet

    I ALMOST went carnivore but settled in to low carb 3 months ago and am loving it. My energy level through the day is super stable - no more bonking when blood sugar is low. I do 14-16 hour fasts every day eating from about 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM. I take some salt with my morning water to keep...

    Pack recommendation

    Rob5589 is correct - lots of info on that topic here. I was in the market for the a new pack for 3-5 day back country archery this spring and settled on a 4800 cubic inch EXO based upon the opinions of other Roksliders. Very happy. I tried a 3200 cubic inch first, contrary to advice of most...

    Sea level to 10,000 :: avoiding altitude sickness

    I have hunted out west for the last 30 years at 10,000-12,000 feet, yet live at 840' elevation in MIssouri. I tend to be more inclined to others I have hunted with to get altitude sickness and came to just expect it in mild form. Then 3 years I quit caffeine cold turkey and never looked back...

    Colonoscopy....

    I am 60 and was due for round 2 of the ole scope up the back side. Asked my GP and since I am low risk we just did a Cologuard test. Easy peasy and pretty cheap.
