    Nice .22 cal air gun?

    I bought my wife a custom crosman pump air gun. She loves the thing and is deadly to about 30 yards keeping the ground squirrels out of the garden. It has a long target barrel, seems to shoot good enough for garden pests. https://www.crosman.com/custom-shop/ The custom shop assembles the...

    BOOTS FOR HELL!!!!

    I’ve been wearing the Danner Thorofares in 100° Weather. They are not insulated, but do have the goretex liner. They offer incredible support similar to mountaineering boots. My work is in Desert Bighorn Sheep country, some of the rockiest, steepest and hottest anywhere. I also run a pair of...

    Headlamp for Entry / Exit

    I’m a fan of the Princeton Tec brand. I have several and use them for road construction work at night too. They are made in USA quality and won’t let you down. I find myself using white light most of the time.

    Scope Suggestions: Slug Gun

    I have put (3) 3x9 scopes on three different slug guns. My favorite was a Leupold Ultimate Slam with the red dot. The illuminated dot was critical for low light and night shooting as the Savage 220 it was on was murder for coyote and pig depradation. The Leupold Ultimate Slam was...

    Custom Rifle Options...

    I purchased the RRS 24L with the anvil ball head this year. It’s an amazing tripod. I shot from the standing position out to 500 yards with factory 30 nosler ammo with bench quality results. As an fyi, you can remove the bottom two leg sections of the tripod and get the weight down to 3.5#...

    Stand Mixer Meat Grinder attachment

    I “had” one for the kitchen aid. It sucked. The wife was full of hate when I was feeding bloody meat through her mixer. She loves to bake and uses the mixer all the time. It wasn’t worth the fight and I finally bought a dedicated grinder

    Lightweight Saw

    I’ve been using a Superior Fruit Pruning saw, it’s light and cuts like a dream. The steel is top quality. It’s Made in USA. It’s cheap too. To me, the 8-1/2” Superior feels lighter than the 6” Silky. You can also drill holes in the beach wood handle of the Superior if you want it lighter...

    Headlamp picking

    The last two weekends I’ve spent quite a bit of time hiking at night as the temps have been in the triple digits during the day. I’ve been using the “dimmer” white light mostly. It doesn’t seem to attract as many bugs and gives plenty of light to hike on tricky terrain. I don’t really think...

    Light weight cheaper fluid head

    I’ve been using a ball head lately. I find myself positioning the binos then using the FOV. I move the binos again and scan the FOV. No motion sensitivity when panning while lookin. A ball head with a panner would be a great way to go. RRS has a very inexpensive ball head with a panner that...

    Head-to-Head: Carbon v. Aluminum Tripods

    I stopped by the Outdoorsmans the other day hoping to see the new 115 Swarovski scope body with BTX eyepiece. Unfortunately the 115 was out in the field. I did spend some time looking through their BTX with a 95 objective on their “Tall” tripod from the standing position. I brought out my RRS...
