    Tent Question - One tent or two, or?

    I've been using a Stone Glacier Skyscraper 2P for the past 3 years and was thinking about swapping it for a KUIU Storm Star but after sitting in the stormstar there is NO WAY haha. I'll just buy another SG Skyscraper when/if this one dies.

    SITKA Mountain EVO jacket, Review **Updated 9/20/23**

    Not to mention the underarm vents all the way to the elbows. It saves weight because you don't need pit zips. I liked my camo one so much that I purchased a second one in solid green for daily wear. Glad I did now. It really fit a niche in my kit that nothing else could. I sold my jetstream...

    SITKA Mountain EVO jacket, Review **Updated 9/20/23**

    What makes it so cool is that it's a high-activity piece. I vent a ton of heat out of my back when moving and sweating. If you stop, you should throw on a puffy or other shell/raingear anyway.

    Have you moved out of state?

    I LOVE UT, especially the northern part. SLC is a bit too warm for me after living at an elevation in CO. However, you start to miss the ocean being landlocked.

    Maybe the lowest priced option to benchmade altitude

    I tried Flex Seal before the Plastidip, and it was a disaster. It's way too thin to apply thick coats properly. The Plastidip, with about 4-5 coats, was perfect. You can also let it dry about 70% and still be able to form it to your grip/hands. I don't own an altitude, but from what it looks...

    MONTANA TO TEXAS - a possible move

    The growth is what ran me out of New Braunfels. I used to be able to run up I35 to my Austin office in 30 minutes. Once it started taking 1.5 hours it was time to move. It's a cool little town, though. The growth also ran me out of Leander, TX up here to CO as soon as a TDY position opened.

    Sitka Ambient UL 60 Hoody Review

    I'm pretty sure the old ambient hoody/jacket had 150g. My ambient jacket does, and it's super warm. I don't think I'd want anything over 100 for a mid-layer piece in any double-digit temps. That and the EVO plus a good puffy and raingear is all you need, in my opinion. Then again, I hunt...

    My girlfriend got bit by a raccoon this evening…

    There's a show on TV called 'I Was Prey.' In one episode, a coon attacked a woman walking her dog at daylight and nearly killed her. Happened up in BC, Canada. It really ate her up. I had no idea a raccoon could be that vicious. The doctors said there were zero cases of rabies up in BC, so...

    Have you moved out of state?

    I'm in government, but I was relocated for work in September 2019. COVID hit within 6 months of my move, and I was temporarily renting a room with roommates. I checked the home/rent prices here in the Denver area and found a nice home for rent in the $1800/mo range BEFORE covid. Those same homes...

    Have you moved out of state?

    I did all my homework and typically found a temporary place to live in my new state, which I've lived in six, and then COVID hit. It wasn't fun. The most challenging thing I've ever been through.

    Have you moved out of state?

    Yes, job relocation 3 months pre covid. They asked, and I accepted. Then COVID ruined my life.

    Knives with a bit of belly

    Victorinox makes a beef skinning knife, too. That's as much belly as you'll ever get.

    Knives with a bit of belly

    Pulling out my cc lol. I think I like the JX6 better though.

    Have you moved out of state?

    I moved from New Braunfels, TX, to the Denver area back in 2019 (3 months pre-covid). It's pretty packed down there, and there's only one way to get north/south (I35). I recommend you visit before moving down there. I loved central/south TX and would move back, but everyone wants to live...

    Have you moved out of state?

    You know I can golf in December and January up here! It could be a crisp 50 degrees and sunny all year. The SUN at altitude. We have 2 months of bad weather and can have snow on the ground in the morning and have 50 degrees at noon with zero snow. PERFECT golf weather. Haven't you seen the...

    Have you moved out of state?

    I grew up in the Southeast, and while I do miss SEC football in person (it's the best!), and the food, I don't miss the heat and humidity. I woke up this morning, put on a fleece top, and went for a run in 60 degrees and single-digit humidity. It's heaven to me.

    Have you moved out of state?

    No, we used the NCED for DHS. It was super nice! We've since moved back to Arlington, VA, so I don't get to enjoy the city/facility anymore. I do miss Norman, an awesome city. Just big enough to have all the amenities, and OKC is just up the road. https://www.cc.nced.com/ The ACADEMY has...

    Bow brands of years past...

    Mystery solved.. It's a collector's 1969 AMF Wings Frank Ketchum Arc Hunter. It was patented as the first force multiplier compound bow made. Apparently, it's actually worth quite a bit to a collector due to the history between AMF, Wing Archery, and the patent holder Holless W. Allen.

    Bow brands of years past...

    This one is NOTHING that sophisticated. It's just above aiming down the arrow level. I'm going to take some more pics of it this week and post.
