Show me how you carry your camera

I do notice a bit of weight with it just being on the one shoulder strap but it's not uncomfortable. It bobs around a bit when hiking but it's tolerable. My camera weight just over two pounds. With the base plate I can also attach it to the same spotting scope that I use for my tripod. I've...

Show me how you carry your camera

I run the same setup in the same location. I'm a big fan of the peak design clip. Quick to take the camera out and put it away and very secure.

Robot vacuums

I have found that it doesn't replace a regular vaccuum but it does a well enough job to justify having it. With two children and a golden retriever keeping the house clean is a full time job. It's too noisy to run when we're home but we'll set it loose when we leave and return home to a nicely...

Hunters in Grizzly-Free Country - Sidearm for Archery / Scouting?

After a run in this spring with a black bear, I carry one on the hip belt of my pack if I'm scouting or bow hunting. I was walking through a marsh in SW Washington in early May headed out to the road after checking a few trail cameras. Visibility was low, less than 50 feet in any direction...

Bino harness question

I have an Alaskan Guide Creations bino carrier. The original harness made my back sweat and also concentrated the weight of the binos on my neck. I changed the harness out to a marsupial harness and it fixed both issues.

Real world fuel mileage

2014 Tacoma 4.0 v6 crew cab with 6' bed Roof rack and 31x10.5 tires I rarely see better than 17 mpg. Most if my driving is 4wd on gravel roads though. I lost at least 1 mpg with the roof rack, I hate the noise it causes and it makes me look like an overlander but I really like the extra cargo...

Savage 99 in 358

Jump on it! If I had an opportunity like that I'd be burning rubber headed for an ATM.

Trail cameras: tampering, stealing, and how to avoid it

I try to hang mine on the inside of a corner in a trail, and back into the timber about 15 feet with the thought that people don't usually look that far to the left or right when hiking. I also have my name and number on them so anyone tampering with them knows who they belong to. I think it...

New guy in SW Washington

I'm joining up after another unsuccessful elk hunt. I've been lurking the boards for a while, I'm just now making a profile to learn from hunters better than myself.
