    My Bark River Knife review

    Thanks! I’ll definitely ask about that. From what I had heard they weren’t big on walk ins at the shop. I’ll definitely ask. I really do like the look and feel of this knife. Stinks it showed up one day after deer season ended ! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    My Bark River Knife review

    Ok thanks. It’s not the belt system. I had that but felt like it ate the steel too fast. The one I have is a system of diamond grit plates and a guide to help hold the proper angle. Basically finer grit stones with angles to help dummies like me get it right ! Sent from my iPhone using...

    My Bark River Knife review

    Appreciate the input, always good to learn new things. It’s interesting that you discuss the sharpening style with these. I was able to put a pretty good edge on this with just the strop from my Work Sharp guided system. Totally off topic, but is the work sharp guided system good for this...

    My Bark River Knife review

    So my wife had heard me mention BRK several times. She was kind enough to offer to let me pick one out for myself for Christmas! After looking at all the models I settled on the Mini Aurora. For reference my most expensive knife to this point was a Benchmade steep country. The knife arrived...

    How are you carrying gear to stands?

    Stone glacier Kiowa with a Kifaru gun bearer. I strap my low folding turkey chair to the back and carry the caller in hand. Super easy to carry and you can stop a yote to the pack if you get lucky. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Elk hit.

    The Michigan elk hunt is a joke by most standards. If you saw how it was you’d understand exactly why that statement was made. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What did Santa bring you?

    Had a pretty good day! And And a little treat from myself I can’t decide on the knife tho! They literally make them 5 miles from me but I can’t get me hands on one into look at. Considering the Necker Caper or Mini Aurora or Bird and trout. Good problem to have! Sent from my...

    Bipods

    I was in a similar situation as you. I didn’t want the extra weight on the gun but still wanted something I could deploy quickly. I came up with this. I literally just put it together, but I can see this being a good option. Basically a small, short, lightweight tripod with a y yoke on it...

    Didn’t Receive the Vaccine Today

    I’m in LE. Our suicides and overdoses are through the roof compared to other years. Why do you think that is? Despair, job loss, fear. That is not being tracked or quantified in any way the way they’re tracking COVID deaths. Are people dying from COVID. Yes. Are people dying because of the way...

    Rifle mounted tripod/bipod adapters

    Excellent thanks! I realized when I was looking online the different sizes (50 mm, 60mm ) referred to the length, not the width which like you state is standard. Hopefully that clears it up for someone else who’s new to this like me! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Rifle mounted tripod/bipod adapters

    Dumb question as well. The arca system is all new to me. Looking online I see there are different widths of arca bases. What width are your mounts? Also, I’m guessing they mount in the sling stud hole, and drill another hole for the second mounting screw? Thanks in advance ! Sent from my...

    Help on a Glacier Vacation with Kids

    Get the book “Glacier Day Hikes”. Gives lots of really good ideas for trips. Garden wall hike. Being a flat lander like me you might get freaked out about the first narrow part but you should be fine. If not turn around but it’s well worth it when you make it through. Avalancha Lake. Easy...

    First Lite Catalyst vs Kuiu Kenai

    Thanks all so far. I’ve been wearing the Catalyst with a puffy vest underneath when it’s been cold (single digits). It still gets a little chilly after awhile so was considering the Kenai and possibly layering underneath if it’s real cold Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    First Lite Catalyst vs Kuiu Kenai

    Wondering if anyone can give me their impressions on the two jackets. I have the Catalyst and like how quiet it is and the general design. That being said there’s basically zero insulation, just the fleece lining. The Kenai seems to have more insulation but curious how the Kenai compares in...

    Scopes

    Haven’t read through the whole thread but I’ve been happy with Meopta. I have 2 Optika 6’s and one Optika 5. The 5 is on my Montana. Relatively light weight 4-20/44 and is as good of glass as I’ve ever had (not that I’ve ever had top end stuff). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Alone (guy)

    I’ll start this with I have no idea what happened or why it sounds like the thread was removed. If it’s a hot button topic and this is out of line, please remove and accept my apology. That being said I started watching Alone with the kids over thanksgiving. It’s interesting in parts and some...

    GONE. EN ROUTE TO WASHINGTON A man can only wear one jacket at a time. I’d love to this to go to someone who really needs a nice cold weather jacket. Nice enough to be worn for business casual for someone at a new job or whatever. Shipping’s on me within Con US Columbia xxl fleece / nylon...
