    Good Lumbar Packs for Hunting?

    It sounds like you’re looking for a “ruck” style pack without a frame or junk to get hung up on brush. The “mountaineering” style packs are pretty good in that they stay close and don’t negatively affect your center of gravity. Something like the Mystery Ranch ASAP or a 3-Day Assault pack...

    BHA seems “all-in” with Biden

    I love the state of Texas and had an opportunity to move there. It probably would have been a great financial decision for my family. The lack of public (federal) land in the state was probably the main reason we didn’t make the move. I know they do have some state lands available for...

    BHA seems “all-in” with Biden

    I was just hoping BHA would stay out of partisan politics. I guess I naively wanted them to just oppose or advocate “policy”, not people. You have 36 total posts on rokslide and 25 of those posts are in this thread. You want my personal info? I regret starting this thread.

    BHA seems “all-in” with Biden

    I have a bunch of “life” memberships to non-profit conservation orgs. I actively participate with three orgs and am an elected director on one. It’s like a second career to me and much more than just a membership fee. I love public lands, I and my family spend a lot of my time on BLM, USFS...

    BHA seems “all-in” with Biden

    I’ve literally recruited about 20-volunteers from our local BHA chapter to help on conservation projects with my other org. They are so good at getting publicity and recruiting younger people. I’m going to hate to lose that resource because so much good has been done to help our wildlife...

    BHA seems “all-in” with Biden

    I missed that, that’s the only positive thing I’ve ever read out of BHA about anything the Trump admin has done.

    BHA seems “all-in” with Biden

    I have “life” memberships to several hunting orgs, I’m glad I never pulled the trigger for a BHA “life”. My current membership expires in January. I’m on the board of a small wildlife conservation org and we never get political. The thing that sucks is our demographic is “older” and a lot of...

    BHA seems “all-in” with Biden

    I’ve been a member for about 5+ years or so, seemed like a decent organization and values. I’ve been to a bunch of pint nights and made a couple friends from the group. I’ve volunteered and currently serve on a “habitat watch” committee. During the Trump admin, BHA delved in to politics like...

    Inexpensive birding binos

    My wife is currently using a compact pair of Nikons. They suck, but she really likes the size. I plan on getting here a pair of Swarovski EL 8x32 when I can sneak the purchase past her and surprise her for her birthday. I really think that size in the 30/32 mm objective range is the sweat...

    Unpopular Opinion: I don't like Dave Ramsey

    I had a buddy at work that was financially struggling after the housing crash. Young guy in early 30’s with wife and 3-kids renting a house and barely getting by with his debt load increasing. ~5-years ago I recommended Dave Ramsey to my buddy and they started the program. He was able to buy...

    Dead On Industries Bino Adapter?

    That thing looks awkward. I’ve got the Outdoorsmans stud in ELs, and agree the Kramer Designs stud and adapter is probably better. One of the things I am looking in to is putting an ARCA plate on one of the barrels so I can leave it on my binos in the harness. It would be really cool to pull...

    Solid, inexpensive rifle rest for shooting groups?

    I was amazed how well I could shoot off a tripod. Every bit as good for me as using bags and a bench.

    Jetboil

    I have pretty much all the types of stoves. Jetboil, MSR Reactor, MSR XGK multi fuel, Primus (forget name, but very similar to pocket rocket) and various home made alcohol stoves. I have a cheap aluminum pot that works on the XGK, Primus and the alcohol stoves if I want to cook a meal inside...

    Review: lightest possible tripod.

    that’s cool, I love dual purpose gear. I currently use a TFCT 24L Really Right Stuff that is 3.5# with bottom two leg sections removed. This is a serious tripod rated at 70# capacity. RRS makes their TFC 14 at 2.5#. You can remove bottom leg sections and be down to about 1.75# with their...

    CA Ridgeline Owners Struggling with Bipod

    Live2HuntID has a thread on Pic and Arca rails for this purpose. I purchased one of his arca rails to use with a tripod. He sponsors rokslide and his stuff is made here, not china 🇨🇳 https://www.rokslide.com/forums/threads/arca-and-outdoorsmans-rails.172147/ There is also a pretty good video...

    Trail Dirt Bike Honda Crf 250f?

    I used a Honda CT110 for many years hunting and exploring the Mojave desert and San Bernardino mountain areas. Honda currently has the new “Trail 125”, which is similar to my old Trail 110 https://powersports.honda.com/off-road/dual-sport/trail125-abs In regards to Honda’s CRF 250 F, it is...

    .270 & 30-06 discussion

    I’ve been reading some stuff about Hammer‘s new “Absolute Hunter” line of bullets and performance. I think the 30-06 would have 300 WM punch. That is if you are in to re-loading.

    BigHorn Sheep Ram - Palm Springs

    I think we had 19 total sheep tags for the state in 2018. We got 10 more for a total of 29 tags in 2019 and we got 30 tags for 2020. A group I belong to puts and maintains water in the desert, there are a bunch of issues, but basically there should be a lot more sheep and tags. We have the...

    BigHorn Sheep Ram - Palm Springs

    The bighorn sheep near Palm Springs are protected. It’s largely politics. For years people have tried to classify the sheep as a separate species, called “Peninsular” Bighorn. Genetically they are the same desert bighorn sheep (Nelson) found throughout the rest of the southwest. The...
