    Meindl Comfort Fit Hunter/Insulated/Extreme?

    The comfort fit hunter 400 gram would suit you well IF THEY FIT YOU (obviously😁). If I was in your boots, I'd just be wearing the comfort fit hiker NI, but I don't like tall boots and it just doesn't seem like it's actually cold where you are(I know it's all relative) and I have warm feet. I'd...

    Emergency Chain saw for the pickup

    Yes, I forgot to mention. If relying on a saw for emergency use sometime in the unknown future, make sure you have a fresh unopened can of the premix. Seems like it stays potent way longer even if it's been opened.

    Emergency Chain saw for the pickup

    Go cordless. Chances are when you need it months after putting saw in truck, your gas will be old and useless and your saw won't even bark till you change to all fresh gas. Ask me how I know. I have a Stihl 371 and if its not fresh gas, don't even try.

    Your favorite sling.

    Haven't used a rifle mounted sling in 15 years for Western hunting, they just suck with a pack on. Switched to kifaru gunbearer first and now Montana slik sling.

    Stupid Light?

    If you absolutely hate sleep and having an enjoyable time, then go for it. When you get the 4 inch early snow or days of rain sets in...yeah exciting.

    How big is the hole in the end of the barrel? And what cartridge will you use to squirt the bullets out of it?

    Truck Camping

    Keep in mind the nights are VERY long in January so maybe you won't mind cooking something and doing some camp chores. However ,that is certainly more pleasant in a larger shelter out of the wind at least. If you get back to the truck only a couple hours after dark, that's only like 7:30-8. I...

    Favorite weightlifting programs

    + on starting strength. Follow the program. Get the basic app they have. It's an incredible motivator to see the measurable increases. Getting coaching from an SS coach would be money extremely well spent. After running it as far as you can, switch to 5-3-1 or Texas method or something like...

    308 bullets for black bear

    Right. Just that people are so afraid of hitting guts that they tend to shoot forward and often a bit high, with bad results. And the ones they thought they gut shot die in seconds.

    308 bullets for black bear

    Any nice soft bullet like an Eld- Murder. And shoot it in the middle of the middle. NOT hugging or in the shoulder. They die very easy. Soft target.

    Anybody carry a fixed blade knife on their belt while hunting?

    How would you? I mean in western hunting with a pack on 98 percent of the time? Strap it to pack belt somehow I guess. Thought bout it but then I remember it has pockets so I put it in there.

    Peak Refuel Serving Size

    Biscuits and gravy is incredible by my taste. The sausage actually has a little pepper to it! The biscuits are always kinda hard and challenging to break up correctly but got it down now. Chicken Alfredo, chicken pesto are both good, lots of fat.

    22-250 converted to 22 Creedmoor

    My 7 twist is now 18" and shooting the 88s just fine still. At about 3000 fps from 22cm. I'd be surprised if you get near 3200 with a 18" 22-250. Anyway, you should be way good with 7.7. Lots of guys are using the 88s in 8 twist barrels.
