    Life after stents?

    I was 50 when I had 2 stents put in. There were 3 blockages. 2 of them were close enough together that a large stent took care of both of them. I’ve always been in the gym and in great shape. No history of high cholesterol, high blood pressure or heart disease in the family. The day I had my...

    Sitka Fanatic Bibs / Jacket sizing for short kings

    Sure thing. You definitely won't want to walk in wearing them. You will sweat out quickly. I roll them up and lash them to the outside of my day pack. They take up a bunch of room though. Other than that they are very quiet and warm. I wish the jacket had a hood though.

    Sitka Fanatic Bibs / Jacket sizing for short kings

    I'm the exact same size, 5'6" and 170, and in the gym most everyday. I went with a medium in the bibs and large in the jacket. There is still room to layer underneath. I will wear the Equinox Midi pants underneath when its really cold and the bibs still fit fine. A bit tight in the thighs but...

    To chip or not to chip?

    I've only had 2 Diesels but I've had them since 2010. Both Chevy's and both were tuned with a few other mods. The 1st one also had a built transmission to handle the tuning. My current vehicle doesn't have a built transmission but my tuning doesn't come close to pushing the limits of my...

    Help choosing camouflage!!

    I know you are not a Sitka fan but for deer hunting in a tree stand after the leaves have fallen It's all I wear. Really like the Elevated pattern. However, early and mid season I'm in Solids as much as any other pattern. I have and still wear some of the Realtree patterns. I think I wear...

    Sitka Incinerator- worth it?

    I love my Incinerator set. As others have said it's definitely to hot to walk in with. I roll them up and lash them to my pack. I run cold typically so when temps are in the 30's or lower I'm wearing them. Last year I was in Indiana hunting and the temps were in the low 30's, it was sleeting...

    Your first deer rifle?

    Mine was a Ted Williams 30-06 that I bought from Sears in 1979. It was a Winchester Mod 70 branded as Ted Williams.

    Shoot or pass

    I look at it this way. If the doe are regularly coming by your stand then hold off a bit and see what comes by during the rut. Now if you only have that one tag and not much time to hunt take the 1st deer that comes by regardless of sex. I'm lucky in that here in NC we get 6 tags and have a...

    Normal Adjustments to Clean Eating?

    I've been eating clean except for milk since December. Feel a million times better. Eating meats, fish and poultry, veggies and fruit. I'll eat rice and Greek Yoghurt also. Not giving up Milk. My all time favorite drink is cold milk. Regardless, my stomach was a bit upset for a week or so...

    Is this acceptable for high end rings? And a couple other questions

    So without checking before hand would you have noticed that half degree? If it were me knowing now that they were off it would drive my OCD crazy. However, there is no way I could tell just by looking at it while shooting.

    Do you 'test-drive' your new gear before the season?

    Definitely my boots. I've worn them this past year deer hunting and also wear them while pack training. Speaking of which I have a new EXO K4 and have been wearing it a few time with weight in it to work out any possible kinks. No issues so far. Other stuff I bring is used throughout the...

    Smoker/Pellet grill advice, recommendations for setup capable of low temps.

    I have a Recteq 700 with the Smokebox and for cold smoking it works great. You can cold smoke fish and cheeses in it no problem. I typically do my jerky in the main body of the smoker. Temps in the main body are around 170-180 for lows. In the Smoke box you can get in the 150's easily. You...

    Pack workouts

    I've worn my pack a few times mainly to get it worn in and fitted with weight in it. Other than that I wear a weighted vest for my workouts. The vest I wear looks like a plate carrier basically and I can put in anywhere from 20 -40lbs. When done with a workout/hike I'm pretty soaked and so is...

    Bicep tendonitis

    If it is Bicep Tendonitis then there is a lot of stretching and such that you can do to help out. Stopping benching doesn't really help. It will definitely come back. I don't flat bench anymore since I tore my pec 10 years ago. Only use dumbells for incline and flat presses. I do about...

    Quick drying boots?

    Look at the Goruck MACV-2's. They are basically a mid height version of the old Army jungle boot. I wore these trout fishing and they were completely soaked. They drained well and were completely dry by the next morning. I wear them while run walking my neighborhood with a weighted vest on...

    Truck tire question for you all

    Just put some Falken AT4W’s on my 2016 Chevy Dmax. Really nice so far. Previous tires were General Grabber AT/X’s and they are great tires also!

    Bourbon

    My favorite is EH Taylor. Penelope Toasted is good also. Everyday go to and hard to beat for a simple bourbon is Makers 46. I was able to get a bottle of Elijah Craig Single Barrel 18yr and that is really nice!

    Guys I need your input on blood pressure. I don’t want to mess up

    Just took my BP and it came in at 123/72. I'm 60 and in great shape. However, I'm on 25mg of Losartan. I do watch my diet pretty strictly and rarely drink. Before going on the Meds my BP was in the high 140's over mid 90's. I had 2 stints put in when I was 50. No history of high BP or...
