    Any reason why mountain house went smaller size with there meals?

    Funny, I didn't even notice they changed things. I did have a few moments where I thought "hey, didn't the spaghetti used to have more calories" but didn't look into it.

    Limb Driven vs Cable Driven rests

    I moved to a limb driven because it is simpler mechanism.

    Hey Rimfire Guys.....

    I have a Henry lever .22LR that is just plain fun too. Those Marlins are sure nice.

    12x or 15x binos

    I've moved to just a pair of 12x50's for everything. Haven't felt under-magnified and I can still hand hold them.

    New vs used bows

    Used. I have two used Mathews bows (triax and V3) that I picked up via craig's list. I talked to the owners and shot the bows before purchasing. both have been solid bows and I paid close to half of retail for each of them. I have bought one new flagship bow and while I like it I don't know...

    How did you guys who had no one to teach you get into hunting?

    I started on my own as an adult. I went on one elk hunt with my brother-in-law before he passed away and then it was all just reading and watching and absorbing on my own. I learned a little bit from him that first hunt but I had to develop my own style and learn to think. That first hunt I...

    Car Fix Pricing

    I'd compare the cost of fixing what you have to buying the same thing used in better condition. With oil issues and a CAT it's teetering on the knife edge of "aint worth it".

    Another Which Binocular Thread... Around 1k

    Another mention for Maven B.6. I found the B.2 to be a bit front heavy.

    How much caffeine per day for you?

    2 decaf espressos a day. I used to ingest more of the fully caffeinated variety but I am much happier and healthier with the decaf. I like coffee for the flavor and not the buzz!

    Looking For A New Pack? Definitely Consider The AKEK CLIMAX !!

    Looks versatile. I didn't see any weight specs. Maybe I missed it on your web page? Do the pockets come off the waist belt? Sure looks worth trying out.

    Who wears rubber gloves to clean game ?

    Yea, prevention of infection to cuts is a big one for me. It's not the chance that I might cut myself while field dressing that led me to wear gloves. It's all the skinned knuckles and little cuts that I seem to always have from hunting in general that I worry about. Seems like I never escape...

    where is your fitness lacking?

    Strength training is my nemesis lately. I have the time but not the motivation. Last fall was a wake up for me when I bit off more than I could chew on one trip. I knew I was pushing my limit but forgot that my age means I can't push the limit quite as hard as I used to!

    Who wears rubber gloves to clean game ?

    I like the easy clean up aspect and I find nitrile gloves give me a better grip once my hands get bloody.

    Pro's and Con's to Maven?

    I have a pair of their B5 12x50 binos. I compared them to the B6's but found those to be largen than I liked and front heavy. Pretty happy with the B5's. I had an opportunity to compare Maven to a bunch of other binos once at dusk. No alpha glass in the mix but all the other usual suspects...

    Boot creams vs. good ol’ mink oil?

    My understanding is Mink Oil softens leather. Might be what you want and it might not be. Depends on the use. Either way it preserves leather pretty darn good.

    Puppy food

    Nothing wrong with feeding a puppy the same food they will end up eating for most of their life. Just make sure they have access to as much as they want (assuming they aren't getting over weight!).
