    Kowa 773 - Best Option

    Timely post. I am considering the same. I am looking for a scope that can be used at the range for bullet holes, hunting and digiscoping. My wife enjoys shooting animals with the camera and I am trying to decided if it is worth getting an 883. Big bump in price and little more weight and...

    Whitefish Recipes

    Ya, you read it right, I am looking for some good whitefish recipes. I have smoked them and fried them whole. Looking to get more creative. I am going to pickle some as well. I can't be the only guy that thinks they taste good :) Thanks. Pete

    Hoffman Mountaineer Pac Boot Review **Updated 1/30/22**

    I have been putting the Hoffman double insulated Guides through its paces lately. Ice fishing in zero degree temps. I only have the 200 gram thinsulates in them. With a liner sock and medium weight wool sock my feet never got cold. And I am standing directly on the snow/ice; no padding...

    Pink salt for pastrami

    Look up any corned beef recipe. Pastrami is smoked corned beef with a rub. I do not recall ever using the pink curing salts in my brines.

    Stone Glacier bought by Vista Outdoors

    Same here. Good for the owner but I do not see it as a positive for the consumer. Cannot see any upside to this one. I bought local so I could support local and to also have the local help me if I ever need a repair. Uggh.

    Covid Booster

    Booster; "Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome". Oh wait, I think that may be the definition of another word as well.

    7-8” non insulated hiker for flat lander?

    Ha... I actually don't feel like the beartooths are stiff. Going to have to swing by the store one day and try the kestrels.

    7-8” non insulated hiker for flat lander?

    Matt, I keep looking at these. Is there much of a difference when compared to my uninsulated beartooths? I have used the beartooths all year long so far. Eventually I want to replace my Oboz Bridgers, which have horrible soles. They just get too slick in certain conditions and offer very...

    Lever gun caliber

    My Henry 357 is dead nuts accurate with iron sights out to 100 yards. My 45/70, well I still need to tinker around with my loads. I am finding that at 100 yards with the 45/70, a lighter load appears to work better.

    Yellowstone - Season 4 - This Sunday 8pm

    I have the same challenge. It's a horrible show. It's like watching porn, great views/scenery but absolutely no plot. My favorite scene so far has been when Beth's office gets blown to bits and she is shredded, bleeding and burnt everywhere, well except for her boobs. They were pristine...

    Elk hauler for my body type.

    I can only speak to Stone Glacier 5800, since that is what I own. I'm 6 feet tall, 175 pounds. 32 inch waist, no butt. I love the thing. I helped haul out my first elk with it. I had 75 pounds on my back, which probably was too much for my old body, but the pack handled it like a champ...

    Boot stretchers and ruining the boot?

    If you have to stretch it a bit you could try to just spray rubbing alcohol on the area that requires it. Slide your feet in the boot and walk around for five minutes or so. It just might do the trick.

    Boot Longevity - Satisfied?

    Well, I hope it is longer than two years! My schnees beartooths are close to their one year anniversary. They get hiked a lot. At least three times per week. Granted some walks are only a couple of miles but they get used often. I would only now call them fully broken in. The uppers are...

    PAC Boot seam seal

    I just used the leather conditioner/waterproofer and it held up well last winter. If I were to go to the next level then I would use the stuff for sealing tent seams; basically silicone.

    What made you Happy today?

    What’s a good everyday shoe?

    Okay, going outside of the box with this one. You all are probably going to laugh at me. High quality cowboy boots with walking height heels. Believe it or not, a slightly raised heel is actually good for you because it takes strain off the achilles. That is very good if you need to stand...
