I was listening to a podcast recently and the owner of an outdoor clothing manufacturer recommended buying new rain gear asap. Apparently the PFAS chemical regulations coming through are forcing the use of a seriously sub-par DWR that just doesn’t work.
Bought one yesterday afternoon and discovered the more recent posts here last night. Canceled the purchase before the paperwork was sent in and switched to a gen 2 Ultra 7. Really hope they iron this out because all the stats are impressive.
Rokslide “saving” me money yet again. Need to keep an eye out for Black Friday sales on more batteries. Converted the kids power wheels to a dewalt 20v and it eats them up.
I’ve hunted CO second season with a foot of snow and lows in the single digits with a backpacking tent. As long as your pad and bag are good, you’ll be cold but should be good. Getting frozen boots on your feet in the morning is miserable, but get moving and you warm up quick.

I imagine the goal of this rule is to get more youth interested in hunting. Likely, the best way to get youth hooked on hunting is to experience a hunt with slightly better success rates - kind of like taking a kid fishing. Youth usually haven’t had an opportunity to build up years of preference...
The blame should be on Colorado first for allowing people to turn tags back in and get their points back. If that wasn’t allowed, far less of the high demand tags would show up on the secondary draw, and then the preference should absolutely go to youth in my opinion.
