    Pack weight: Does anyone actually care?

    I would say if you are new to the game, weighing might be a good idea. Throwing a 70 pound pack in the garage versus hitting mile 5 uphill is a big difference. Style of hunting matter too. Run and gun, I like to be 55ish. Third season rifle, I don't like being cold so 65 is needed. Bottom...

    New Colorado Gun Laws

    https://kdvr.com/news/local/2022-was-deadliest-year-on-colorado-roads/ 272 people killed by drugs and alcohol. Yet we can buy a beer in every corner gas station and damn near every corner pot shop. Yet we never blame it on the Bud light or magic lettuce, or the car manufacturer? Common...

    Diy exterior home security set-ups?

    I have had good luck with hardwired reolink cameras. Had a hard drive quit out of warranty. They sent me a new one and it works perfect now.

    Purchasing used firearm online, safety protocols?

    Agree with above. I assume a KAC or other gucci setup? I would never deal with zero feedback ever. That is just me though. Never been scammed....knock on wood.

    Beyond Clothing USA Line

    I have ran their a6 rain gear the last 5+ years. It is the best I have ever used. I have used everything from Arcteryx to Sitka. Beyond is head and shoulders better in fit, finish and performance. USA made is nice too!

    Commercial Pilot?

    Thought I would chime in on this. Been at a major airline the past 16 years. Without bragging 300k is becoming average for pay. Most captains are making 400+ without trying. This is for an average of 14 days of work a month. It is a very good time to get in the industry. I have flown with...

    Politics in high school sports

    I can speak to this on both sides. Careful to not live your high school through your son. The first thing I will say Is, there is politics through every aspect of life. I played high school and college baseball/basketball. A kid that has a famous name, alumni or booster is going to get an extra...

    prepare for backcountry

    I personally like interval type cardio. It seems to be similar to elk hunting. Trains endurance and the ability to move quickly. Throwing 80 pounds and rucking is a recipe for injury. I train 30- 50 piunds mixing it up. As the season nears, I will do a few heavy rucks. Also have incorporated...

    Rifle Shooting Drills

    I would stick to the 100 yard range personally. Master that and go to 50 yard increments, with max being 250-300. Too much can go wrong with a new hunter at further distances. I personally like to raise the heart rate (jog, pushups) then try some shots. Breathing correctly under excitement Is...

    Soft Shells

    I run a SG De havilland. It is a nice jacket. Not 100% sold on a soft shell in a backpack setup. It doesn't really do anything really well. Doesn't stop the wind or rain 100%. Little bit heavy and bulky for what you get in return. My opinion only.

    Help me decide on my first ar15

    I have ran LMT for the last 15 years or so. A 16" and 10.5" gun. Never had a malfunction or breakage. The 10.5 is at 5k rounds or so, the 16" around 4k. I run them both with a RAS. They are not light would be my only gripe. I have a COLT 6960 that haven't shot yet. It is a midlength gas...

    LEUPOLD VX-6HD 4-24X52 vs MARK 5HD 5-25X56??

    Ran a vx5 the last 3 years. Snow, rain, fog mud and oakbrush have not killed it yet. Took a nasty fall a few years back and it never lost zero. I even used the dials on it and it tracks and holds zero. I must have got lucky with a fluke. I will head out and buy a lotto ticket tomorrow.

    Wool vs Fleece

    Just for the record, anyone that says wool is warm when wet, has never been wet in wool. In fact my experience is it takes longer to dry than synthetic, meaning your chance to slip into hypothermia increase. It does breathe better than most fleece and definitely stinks less. Warmer dry...maybe...
