    A health revolution brewing?

    Read the first few chapters of "Outlive" by Peter Attia. He writes about the state of our Heathcare system, population health statistics, etc.

    Hypothetical question:

    Blue suit, brown cowboy boots (fancy lookin’ kind), brown belt to match. White undershirt + seasonal colored tie. Example: it's nearly fall, I'd personally rock a wool tie in a subtle plaid pattern.

    What Emergencies Have You Had Before Season Start?

    Welp, cam was bent. No time to fix. I bought a Bear Adapt as it was honestly the most economical choice. Switched all the accessories over - shooting great. I’ll be ordering a new cam but this is now by now for next month.

    As most have said, I listen when I’m commuting, sometimes working in the woodshop, and sometimes while rucking or doing steady state cardio. I enjoy learning about science so tune into The Drive and Huberman Lab. I listen Rogan when he has on interesting (to me) guests). Hunting wise I don’t...

    Clothing system recs for FNG from northeast

    I would take advantage of the current First Lite sale. First Lite's merino is pretty solid it's 30-40% right now. I have the Catalyst jacket and it is just ok. I don't find it to be exceptionally warm. A lot folks are selling their Solitude set ups right now because of the new FL whitetail...
