    Sold Seek Outside 12/8 Man Tipi

    Still available - for clarity, this has the inner screened nest / room, but not the screened doors.

    Sold Seek Outside 12/8 Man Tipi

    Listing for sale my 12 man tipi, which can also be pitched as an 8. It's a long story, but new and never used except pitching this in the back yard. Not even seam sealed. Turned out too big for me, so I've been using other shelters while this Sat. Now I need something like a wall tent or...

    Tax Prep - TurboTax versus Accountant

    TurboTax is not without the possibility of error, especially as you get into less common cases. Sold a condo that I'd owned in 2018, that had been used as a combination of Business and Personal over the years. TurboTax led me through a process that ended up being wrong, came out in an audit a...

    Full Waterproof (Non-Breathable) Rain Jacket Options

    I've owned a lot of Gore-Tex and similar, and my Impertech failed and started leaking faster than any of them.

    Are diesel engines overrated?

    Diesel is still almost $1.50 more per gallon here. Add that to the $10K-$12K option price depending on the engine and I don't think I'd ever see the payback, even if I have to pay for a new tank. Another thing that worries me is if I'm doing a lot of low speed stuff (i.e. hunting trip, off...

    Are diesel engines overrated?

    I'm thinking about this now in terms of an F250 "Overlanding" type rig. Bigger Tires, Lift, Bumpers, pop up or hard side camper on the back, lots of gear, but generally towing lower loads that's fine for gas. No huge campers or boats. Diesel makes almost no sense whatsoever in that case...

    Magview magnet giving GPS problems

    A metal plate of the wrong design / location could impact signal from your phone's antenna. Will depend on the design of the phone, location of the internal GPS antenna, and the location / design of the metal plate. No issue for me when I've tried it with my magview (Pixel 6 Pro), but if...

    Mountain Bike Seats

    For everyone recommending padded shorts, getting measured for a good seat that fits you, not too soft - I'm 100% on board if you're actually mountain biking, training, etc., etc. But, if you're getting this for a hunting bike and not putting in a ton of miles, you're not wearing lycra, so I'd...

    Toprut No Longer Hosting Google Earth/KMZ Files

    For what it's worth, I looked at a bunch of Toprut maps last year and immediately found 3-4 with out of date and inaccurate boundaries. So there was also the aspect that they stopped investing in keeping them accurate, and if I don't trust them for that I don't want them at all. And, this...

    Recommendations for Shipping small amounts of meat to friends/family.

    As above - make your own, but make damn sure meat is double or triple wrapped in plastic bags. Any leakage whatsoever and they've been known to throw out the entire box. Had a buddy lose an entire deer that way. He had the UPS employees crawling through a dumpster to get the rack back -...

    Turnkey cost poll for successful DIY elk hunters - All about the Benjamin's?

    100% possible to go hunt and kill an elk for $5K all in, tags, gear, and travel included (Rifle and archery), probably $3-$4K including travel from east coast. And then the average cost goes down yearly if you amortize gear purchases over multiple years. Most of the extra expenses are "want"...

    Seating Dies

    I like the Redding Competition for my T7, but have considered a K&M Arbor Press and LE Wilson Dies if I ever want to change things up. You can get a LE Wilson Blank, you'd just need a smith with a reamer. https://kmshooting.com/product/arbor-press/...

    Eastcoasters hunting out West

    I have driven every time, most solo, coastal Massachusetts to MT, WY, CO, NV, etc. 8 trips now. Takes 2 days each way, so 2 days extra time when everything shakes out, as compared to flying. No way I could take a rental vehicle some of the places I've been, and makes it much easier to have...

    Tying myself in knots trying to settle on a calibre

    300 Win Mag. Better Brass Availability than the WSM if you reload (although I do see ADG for the WSM if you can get it) and slight speed / energy advantage. Quit whining about "Everybody has one." That generally will make components and ammo easier to find when you need it, easier to trade...

    Case trimmer, case prep, case cleaning recommendations needed.

    Yep, fingers were moving faster than brain ;) I agree with the second comment too, I don't measure headspace. Similar process to lands measurement:

    Case trimmer, case prep, case cleaning recommendations needed.

    Cleaning can make accuracy and consistency worse. Generally it's easier if you don't clean the inside of the necks to bare brass which means no wet tumbling. You can dry tumble if you want, but it's not needed.
