    Vortex High Country Panhead

    mtnclimber, sorry I cant answer your question for future reference.....I don't have a scale. The original with ball head was 2.1 and the SS-P was 2.0. I would say the panhead is neglibably lighter than the ball but can't say for sure. I will say the vortex panhead is a nice upgrade to the...

    Vortex High Country Panhead

    This High Country tripod has the panhead from the Vortex Summit SS-P. However, I removed the extended center post to minimize weight and have since lost it. Therefore, maximum extended height is now 46.5" rather than 53.8" as original. The carry bag has some wear as the tripod has been stored...

    Need a gameplan for optics

    I'm in the same boat as you in regards to trying to find a combination that works best for the varied terrain I hike/hunt. Last year I ran a 10x42 Conquest HD and a Razor 50 mm spotter. I probably only used the spotter 1% of the time. I loved glassing behind the binos on a tripod yet felt at...

    Ultralight Tripod and Head

    I run the Vortex Summit SS-P but I upgraded the head to a Manfrotto 700 rc2. Much better head.

    kuiu backorder times

    I just ordered an XL bino harness and it was here in 3 days. This was my 4th order from them and I haven't run across a back order yet. Guess I'm just lucky. My attack pants are literally the most comfortable pant I've ever worn. I'm going to order a pair in solid and see if I can pull them...

    Permethrin with a floorless shelter?

    Well, used permethrin as in above post (thanks Kevin) there were no ticks or scorpions to be seen inside the shelter.....plenty of ants and millipeds though.

    How much would I hate living in Southern California?

    I'm guilty of contributing to the baffoonery. Not sure how San Jose came into the conversation. Truth be told, the diversity in California both demographically and geographically makes it impossible to sum it up in a thread. Let alone from someone that isn't even from here. As others have...

    How much would I hate living in Southern California?

    San Jose does not have a ghetto. San Jose IS a ghetto. The OP said that housing could not be found within 2 hours for under $900,000.....to put in kindly, that is ludicrous. 2 hours will get you clear into the San Joaquin valley which is very affordable. There are entire "bedroom"...

    Permethrin with a floorless shelter?

    I'm wondering if anyone uses permethrin when they set up a floorless shelter. I'm camping this weekend with the lady in an area that I've seen several scorpions. I'm afraid if she got a scorpion in her bag that it may be the end of the trip. Any tips? Is permethrin even effective against...

    How much would I hate living in Southern California?

    Real estate isn't cheap by any means but $900,000 within 2 hours of San Jose will buy you a hell of a lot more than that. $500,000 will buy you a 3 bedroom IN San Jose. I think your buddy is exaggerating a bit.

    Vegan vs Meateater - Steve Rinella

    Agreed. I was just wondering where he stood on the subject. He is indeed a tremendous asset for conservation.

    Vegan vs Meateater - Steve Rinella

    Is this an actual quote? I tried googling it and came up empty. I didn't think Rinella was religious as he routinely speaks of evolution.

    Classes on glassing?

    Excellent. I also have a Razor 50mm spotter that is in for warranty work but should be back in the next few weeks (hoping). I'd really like to look through the 65mm though. I see you're aren't from Visalia but have you had a chance to get up the hill at all? I don't know the area very well...

    Classes on glassing?

    Madera. Just north of Fresno. Not sure if we have enough guys that are willing to make it worth our while....I know I'd love to get a chance to look through a pair of the new SLC 15x56. I have a pair of the 12x 50 EL, 10x42 Conquest HD and 15x 50 Viper HD if anyone would like to get a look...

    Classes on glassing?

    Thanks for the pointers, guys. I entirely agree with the comfort and patience (lacking). I certainly do second guess my location and am constantly wanting to "see if the grass is greener" elsewhere. Maybe just getting together with some Rokslide guys somewhere to compare glass/equipment would...

    Classes on glassing?

    I was wondering if anyone has taken either Duwane Adams or Jaret Owens (Alaska Guide Creations) classes on optics and glassing. I'm not sure how basic or advanced these classes are but I'd love have the opportunity to improve and see how I stack up. I recently ordered and read Duwane Adam's...

    Best state (lower 48) to own hunting land

    Any other area I'm aware of would exclude a large portion of the year due to season restrictions or weather. The SE, SW and West Coast have the moderate climate to allow for 365 days of "sportsmanship". Colorado Elk or Iowa Whitetail would be a dream come true for a month or two but I'd rather...
