    Stihl ms291 acting up

    I would have to hear and operate the saw to have a full opinion on whats going on. Whenever I go to use my my saw I dump the old fuel and put fresh fuel in. That seems to be the biggest culprit of my saw running poorly. I live at 500' elevation and cut wood up to 5k'. Saw runs just fine. The...

    Things you have noticed in the gym

    I focus more on "time under tension". I warm up with two lighter sets of ~20 reps and do 3-4 more sets with heavier weights each set. Sometimes replacing a few sets with drop sets until failure. It varies. I don't need to impress anyone with the total amount I can lift. I'm more interested in...

    Things you have noticed in the gym

    Oh I agree 100%. I have a second membership in my home town to a gym with some of the best equipment I've ever used. There are a lot of members that are competitors there. So there is a higher level of seriousness and I rarely have to wait to use equipment. But since I travel a lot, Planet...

    Knife Sharpeners for the Unskilled

    I've been using a spyderco sharpener for 35+ years. I saw the workshop, got one, and didn't like it at all. I had the same experience. Total waste of money compared to the spyderco. Spyderco got my knife sharper, faster, and easier. I do not like motorized versions. I've never seen a pull...

    Things you have noticed in the gym

    I get to travel around the country and visit different planet fitness locations. The gymfuckery is legend at times. The craziest planet fitness I've been to is in Eureka, CA. I've seen furries, other costumes, tweakers, one guy who shadow fights every time I see him. Another guy who shows up...

    Investment fund for the grandkids???

    If you include it in your living trust, it can be on autopilot with you having to do nothing after setting it up. You'll have full control of it, can add to it or withdraw. You can even earn mark a portion of what you already have invested and not even create a separate account. Sent from my...

    Prevailing wind vs thermals

    Also, a thick canopy with a fairly open under bush can create that pushing or sucking action , up or down the mountain. Sometimes wind will blow through the trees, fighting or helping or thermals. Other times it will blow over trees, sucking the wind up the mountain. Usually I'll walk an area...

    What the closest face-to-face encounters you've had with animals while hunting?

    Looking back, not the smartest thing I did in the woods. Rather dumb and dangerous actually. Sent from my SM-S918U using Tapatalk

    Things you have noticed in the gym

    What i notice the most is people don't know what they are doing. They also put in little effort. The result of this is most people don't really change at all. They don't change their diet or lifestyle at all. People ask me regularly what to do etc to maximize the benefits. I generally tell...

    What the closest face-to-face encounters you've had with animals while hunting?

    Long story short....after wounding a bull elk and my dad broke his rifle, I sat 10' from a bull elk for a few hours while it laid there bleeding out. I was waiting for another firearm and keeping tabs on the bull. Made a spear to kill it, didn't work. Tried to club it in the head, didn't work...

    Investment fund for the grandkids???

    The type of account can vary, but what it's invested in matters more to me. If it was me and I wanted to have control of it while I was alive and then set a date for when they could access it, I make it part of my trust with an age they could access it at. I would choose a mutal fund designed...

    Spooked buck

    How were they spooked,? Wind, noise and/or sight? The bigger bucks that I have dealt with have had a home range and not a spot per. I would guess 3 to 4 days. But I've seen it where I never see the bucks again and seeing them the next day. Sent from my SM-S918U using Tapatalk

    Lighter recoiling elk rifle

    I just put together a Savage Ultralight 6.5 PRC. It's for my wife. It's fairly light with scope. She shot a 5 shot group at 200 yards with factory Hornaday ammo, less than 1 moa. She also declined having a brake put on it and said it didn't kick much at all. And I agree. It doesn't. Average...

    We just don't want our spots blown up. It's best to private message someone for info like that. Otherwise, whatever info is posted is there for everyone in the world to see. Sent from my SM-S918U using Tapatalk

    2024 Colorado Elk Elevations

    This right here. If you base your hunt location off of elevation, you'll be missing a lot of ground that holds elk. Food, safety, water. Sent from my SM-S918U using Tapatalk
