    Smallest Blowtorch for Lighting Ti Stove

    Esbit fuel tablets or Trioxane tablets and pocket bellows. A half tab burns for 5 minutes. I’d skip the bellows but you asked for a blow torch.

    Attack Sizing

    Waist seems true to my normal pant size (34). My thighs are pretty big though, and I could have gone a size larger for a little more room.

    Help with wall tent - 14x16 recommendation

    We bought a 16’x14’ Davis tent at the Puyallup Sportsman’s Show 4-5 years ago. Had some show deals, but the real benefit was we ordered the features that we wanted and we were able to pick it up at the Portland show free of sales tax a week later. It’s been a great tent.

    diy stove pipe rings

    Stainless steel downrigger cable and cable terminal crimps. Or you could just twist some wire for a quick cheap fix.

    Looking for a set of antlers for rattling

    If all else fails, you can cut some pieces of 5/8” hardwood dowel and put them in a crown royal bag to make a rattle bag. Pretty easy to carry around too. I know it’s not the real deal but it’s something.

    Swaro SLCs...why not to buy???

    Dude, if your other financial obligations are taken care of then I would say go for a set. Set some money aside and buy from a forum sponsor or buy a used pair. Also don’t skip out on experiences to buy them.

    How many packs?

    SG Sky 5900 on the X Curve frame. For chukar through elk. The versatility of this pack allowed me to replace all of my others. I’m not gonna say I wouldn’t try something else, but it would be a want not a need.

    Mountain food try it before! Looking at you Peak Refuel

    Also good to know how those foods are going to effect you. Better to know if it gives you the bubble guts before you get miles out, and are flipping rocks everywhere. Or if you’re sharing a tent with your buddy. Not trying to be nasty, but some of the freeze dry meals can mess your guts up badly.

    Quad soreness

    Hydration, nutrition and stretching will be your friend post exertion. Keep your training up during the off season. Now you have something to focus on (eccentric loading). Rolling your quads and IT band could help in the short term it is pretty uncomfortable though. A Nalgene works well for this.

    Neck swelling............

    If the swelling lasts more than 4 months call your physician.

    accubonds

    Yeah those tough bonded bullets probably have a hard time expanding in such a slightly built narrow animal, especially if they don’t have the benefit of hitting heavy muscle or bone. Nosler Ballistic Tips or other high BC cup and core bullets would have more dramatic expansion. Congratulations...

    Simple but possibly dumb question

    I don’t know of a particular spreadsheet for all that but I’m sure other members will post one if it exists. Reloading manuals usually specify the test barrel used for loads. Length, twist rate etc. from that one can usually surmise how going with a shorter or longer barrel can effect...

    Best Optic for Long Distances

    Do you already have a tripod? If not, you’re going to need one, and that’s going to cut out a chunk of your budget on a spotter. You’ll get more out of the binos you already own with them mounted on a stable tripod.

    Recommendation for BB gun or 22 with decent trigger

    To the best of my memory the trigger is decent. Manufacturer claims 2.5-3lbs and may sell different triggers. A friend of mine had one for his son to learn firearm safety with, it was fun to plink with.

    Practice shots vs. hunting shots each year

    I might get take 3-4 shots on game. Probably around the same 100:1 with centerfire big game rifles. If you throw rimfire and air rifles in, that ratio goes way way up. I also shoot a lot of 5 stand in a typical year which I think translates to field shooting.
