    College Help

    Oh, I know that type. When I was a younger man, I quickly learned that drawings and specs don't tell you anything and spent my time hanging out with maintainers in the hangar. I also have many horror stories of design reviews.

    College Help

    Try getting a job fresh out with a Bachelor's from Tailgate U and/or an under 3.0 GPA at any FAANG company, Silicon Valley start up, or high frequency trading firm and get back to me. Also, the labor market has been really good for engineering job seekers in the last decade or so, but that can...

    College Help

    100% agree. Some of the advice here is absolute poison for someone in my field and would lead to no serious jobs offers out of school and limiting overall career trajectory. I mean I guess you can become that guy at Boeing who oversees offshore "engineers" and is supposed to QA their code only...

    Bowtech Deadlock and Elite S.E.T Review Focusing (with poll!)

    I've always been intrigued by the deadlock cams (and I keep hearing rave reviews about the SS34). In theory, someone who isn't mechanically inclined like myself should be able to tune their own bow. I would be concerned about the screws backing themselves out though (one more thing to go wrong)...

    College Help

    I survived a top 5 engineering program. During none of my fall semesters would I have had the time to hunt.

    16 Colorado resident antelope points. Where would you hunt?

    I'd take a serious look at the RFW hunts.

    When you find a game camera in public land

    Walk by it, mark the location on GPS, purchase Sasquatch outfit, return to location at 0300 a few days later

    If you could only have two pants...

    Not to hijack this thread, but the KUIU Kutana are on sale at the moment. Can anyone comment to their noise level?

    Boot Recommendation Please

    I wear a size 11 in my Crispis and I have just enough room length wise in my left foot (the longer one). I went with a 11.5 in the Alverstones and length wise they're good to go. In terms of Hanwag, I am looking at the Makra Combi again since the "Alpine Wide" last seems to describe my foot...

    Boot Recommendation Please

    Update: finally got to try on the Alverstones and they were way too narrow in the toebox on my right foot (the one with the hotspot on my pinky toe from my Colorados). In terms of sizing, I did not go with a wide size since I have a narrow foot. Sure enough, my left foot fit great, but my right...

    Solomon Quest Alternative

    Mine started leaking really bad (where morning dew and tall grass after a rain storm is a problem) after two dozen or so miles, so yea, I'd need a new pair every 2-3 weeks (and those are light mileage weeks for me during scouting season). The manager at REI would know me by my first name at that...

    Boot Recommendation Please

    First off thank you for all the recommendations. I learned a lot in my (still ongoing) search. It's been an adventure. I was hoping to jump on some Black Friday deals, but my second son showed up five weeks early and I've had my hands full. I'll start by saying I've learned way too much about...

    Solomon Quest Alternative

    That means I'd be at REI every 2-3 weeks leading up to season.

    Taylor Swift tickets lawsuit (BEAR WITH ME!!)😄

    I never thought my two loves of (my future ex wife) Taylor Swift and backcountry hunting would be combined, but here I am on Rokslide. I think this means that since I didn't get front row seats for the 1989 tour, I should have a preference point for these shows.

    Solomon Quest Alternative

    I've tried on a pair of Scarpa Ribelle Lite HD recently and will say the Scarpa fit comes close to what I previously had in my Quests. That said, this particular boot is EXTREMELY stiff and would be a very specific use case boot for me. The search continues... Looking at some less beefy Scarpa...

    Solomon 4D flex rating?

    Used these boots for one season and would never consider using them again. Too flexible for anything more than rolling hills and extremely poor durability/quality. They fit my feet great and are comfortable (I've been searching for another boot that comes close in both regards), but I would...

    Kuiu Pro Packs

    I really like my 4000. Since I'm no he-man, I usually can get a few days out of it. I basically use the meat shelf and a dry bag for camp as I don't want to temp myself and try to pack out camp and meat at the same time. I'm sure my back doc would love to watch me try it since he could use a new...

    how many trips?

    Two, with the second trip being the majority of the deer after I can ditch stuff I don't need anymore at the truck.

    My dog has crossed the Rainbow Bridge.

    Sorry for your loss.

    Crispi Summit II For Early Season

    Based on the terrain, the Summit might be a little on the flexible side. I currently use the original Colorado for early season muleys with my bow and am looking at something more rugged. I'm not concerned about the boot being stealthy for stalks since they tend to come off if footsteps are a...
