    Origin VRSA Pants thoughts

    My Prana Zions must be the older type with the four holes and thread. Attached photos of Nyloc pants. The VRSA were the same type of button. My wife and I both have trousers by Gulch Gear that look the same (with the webbing). They have been bomb so far.

    Slik Pro CF-734 Tripod $119

    I just ordered a cheap head from B&H for now. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1019202-REG/magnus_vph_10_lightweight_prosumer_pan_tilt_head.html I’ll decide later, if this tripod merits investing in an Outdoorsmans head.

    Slik Pro CF-734 Tripod $119

    Thank you Truck24hr, that tripod should work perfect for my wife’s binoculars and the DSLR I bought her for Christmas. I like that Slik are not made in China (as far as I know).

    Eating Wild Hog

    Grind and make sausage. I usually save a shoulder or a ham for the wife to make pulled pork, everything else is ground. I like to use natural casings, some of the best sausage I’ve ever had were from pigs I’ve shot and processed. One particularly nasty smelling boar I contemplated throwing...

    Smoking deal for a chamber sealer

    I purchased a vevor chamber sealer. It’s fully made in China, just like the vacmaster. The vevor is built solid and uses a lot of the same components as vacmaster. I wouldn’t be surprised if made in same factory. It’s not like vacmaster owns a factory LOL. I processed 500# of albacore tuna...

    If you were going to ThruHike

    A buddy of mine and I were having this discussion the other day. He’s working on the PCT, doing sections each year. When he retires in a couple years he will have California completed and do the Oregon and Washington sections in one fell swoop. We both prefer a slower approach to enjoy the...

    Pant for Business Casual

I own two pair of these and love...

    15 degree sleeping bag enough?

    I used to climb mountains in winter and have spent many nights without a sleeping bag. There are many things that can help your comfort and safety for a cold night away from camp. for instance: 1. my favorite climbing pack (Cold Cold World) acted as half of a bivy sack. I could put my feet in...

    Recycled clothing from sitka

    When the supposed recycling is done in chyna, i would question whether it is truly recycled. I personally am eco friendly, all of my synthetic fabrics are “recycled” dinosaurs that have been converted to hydrocarbons the natural way. With so many great American made gear options, why would you...

    Swarovski EL Range 32

    I absolutely love my EL12x50s from the tripod, but an less enthusiastic about packing them more and more. They are heavy… My wife has a pair of EL10x32s and they are super nice. I bought her the RRS binocular clamp and they are impressive to pick apart a distant mountain side. I’ve been...

    RRS Scout

    They are still relatively new to shooting sports and their foray to hunting is in it’s infancy. Their stuff is so popular they can’t keep up with demand anyway. I remember it took me almost 6-months to get my anvil, they would advertise they had a bunch made up and they’d sell out in a couple...

    Carnivore Diet

    I’m 4-months into a version of the carnivore diet. I’m following more of the “Lion Diet”, which involves eating ruminant meat. My cheating is the occasional consumption of fish I’ve caught or some of the feral pig I’ve harvested. I do have heavy cream a few days a week with my coffee. My...

    Tripod Adapter for Leica Ultravids?

    I have the Outdoorsman Stud on my EL 12x50s, but use the new RRS Soar polymer Cinch. I really like this system, fits on my binos while they are in the AGC pouch. https://rrssoar.com/cinch
