    Who else has caught the Rona?

    Africa, South America, and any number of poorer countries do not have a robust testing regimen. Confirmed cases will always be lower if you can't test for it.

    Tikka CTR 6.5CM Review

    I have this exact gun and love it. I don't reload, but I settled on the factory ELD-Xs for my hunting round also. I get around a .68 inch group at 100 with them. The only modification I did to mine was install a Yodave trigger spring.

    Otto NoizeBarrier Micro Ear Protection Review, By Derik Henderson

    Is the directional accuracy that good with these? That's been my biggest issue with the electronic ear pro I've used, although I will admit I haven't used any of the higher end muffs. Hearing the direction that game approaches is paramount to me, especially when it comes to those willy turkeys...

    Headlamp suggestions?

    I'll toss my hat into the Zebralight camp also. Specifically either the H600Fc or H600c models. Once you use a quality light with a high CRI, you'll never go back to one of those cheap semi-disposable headlights. I do keep a Nitecore NU25 in my non-hunting daypacks as an emergency light since...

    Tent Light?

    I use a cheap diffuser for my Zebralight headlight for when I feel like I need some sort of lantern. It weighs almost nothing and I don't have to pack anything extra along. Since the headlight uses 18650 batteries, I get something like 12 hours on the medium setting of 140ish lumens. That's...

    Bags/Pouches for First Aid Kit

    https://spacebearbags.com/products/dyneema-hiker-first-aid-pouch Comes in at only 0.3 oz. It's slightly more expensive than a regular DCF bag, but I figure if I need to direct someone to grab the medical kit from my bag, there won't be any confusion with this one.

    Venison heart

    I had some venison heart ceviche about two weeks back. It was absolutely delicious. My friends and I had a joke awhile back about antelope heart ceviche for this upcoming fall on our WY hunt. But now, fresh limes are being tossed in the truck in case we can salvage a heart.

    Cheaper bags and pads?

    The biggest benefits to high end sleeping kit are their lightweight and high quality construction. If you're only truck camping, the former doesn't matter at all and the latter can probably be accounted for with an extra layer/blanket since the bags are probably survival rated instead of comfort.

    The Rokstaff tries Off Grid Food Co. Backcountry Meals

    How much water do these take to rehydrate?

    Peak refuel

    I don't understand splitting a bag. Do you guys really eat only 400-500 calories in a meal? That's nothing after a normal day, let alone a day full of activity.

    Hemorrhoid flare ups

    Backcountry bidets solve so many problems. If you get crap on your face, you wouldn't wipe it off with some paper, even if it's damp, and call it good, would you? You should treat your nether regions just the same. I've got one called the Culo Clean that pops onto your standard water bottle and...

    Minimalist sleeping on the ground

    Earbuds are an absolute necessity when backpacking. I always bring a few extra along and pass them out to my companions who didn’t bring any after any complaints the first night. They make a word of difference in drowning out all those random noises.

    Mini fishing pole?

    I'll 3rd (4th?) a tenkara rod. My Nissin Zerosum weighs 2.1 oz. A handful of flies, one or two lines, and some tippet and I bet my entire fishing setup weighs less than 4-5 oz total.

    Minimalist sleeping on the ground

    20 Degree Quilt from one of the cottage manufacturers = 28ish Oz Thermarest Neoair = 8 to 12 Oz 40 Oz or less will keep you warm cowboy camping as long as there's no inclement weather or wind. In case of the latter, add something like a MLD bivy for a weight penalty of 8ish Oz. In case of the...

    Non toxic shotgun shells

    I'll second the Boss stuff. I switched to them last year and while unfortunately I didn't get to use them as much as I'd like, everything I shot was done for. I'd like to say I had less cripples but that's all anecdotal.

    Sleeping bags for couples

    Enlightened Equipment makes a 2 person quilt if you're interested in such a thing. They make high quality gear but a quilt of that size with the amount of down it takes would be a little pricey.

    Best flying broadheads on the market

    I've only had one pack of them, but they definitely did not come razor sharp out of the box. Thankfully they're easy to sharpen.

    Arcteryx knee pads are easily the best ones around. They are expensive though.

    What did you do today to get ready for archery season?

    I noticed my bare shafts were hitting a little left of my fletched arrows at 20 yards. Took my bow in to get it tuned up and now it’s shooting perfect.
