    from Swaro STS/ATS to STX/ATX 65mm

    Cost aside, for me the ATX had less tunnel vision at low power but the very slight optical improvements didn't justify the added weight over the ATS. I chose to go back to the ATS 65 HD for a pack spotter. For larger objectives I switched to Kowa and have been very happy I made the change.

    Coating the feet of Wiggys waders?

    The OLD version of the Wiggys slip over waders are very easy to tear. A year or two ago I bought a new pair that must be "version 2.0". They are are black, not quite as light as the original, but they are much more durable and with a heavier-duty boot.

    Over 5 million people have died, millions of others have been effected physically or financially. You must not have a family, if you did I don't think you would have such a self-serving perspective of the world.

    That 2% statistic wasn't mine, it was in response to someone else's, and I think most everyone knows the odds of a typical healthy adult are much lower than 2% of having severe covid. And MudHunter made the right choice despite being asked such a daft question; for still unknown reasons...

    Covid Booster

    The risk of myocarditis from a number of studies that are all available online are 1 in 6,000 to about 1 in 40,000, and you reference a 2% chance (1 in 50) of severe illness or death with covid if you are unvaxed. If you work off of logic, reason and probabilities it isn't hard to weigh those...

    Ivermectin has many benefits, just not for covid. The sad reality is that livestock supply stores ran out across the nation of this stuff because of misinformation and because rational doctors and nurse practicioners would not prescribe it. For all the anti-vaxers saying that the vacines "are...

    Unfortunately, research and traditional knowledge are not always benevolent. The thing about science is that it is always progressing and learning, it isn't always malevolent like your implying. There is a big difference between what was once understood as a bad fat and what is now known to be...

    I don't know what happened to you in your life to become to jaded, so miserable, to think that every person, every institution, every company, agency, entity, etc, is out to manipulate you, use you, extort you, lie to you steal from you. But I am glad most of us don't live in your reality. I...

    I accept opposing viewpoints. I really do. Myocarditis is a real risk with the vaccine that affects between 1 and 6,000 to 1 in 40,000 depending on which study you want to reference. But it is factually incorrect that medical providers nationwide must "toe the line" or risk losing their...

    Oh please. Education does not equal fear. On the other hand, those who FEAR the vaccine can enjoy sitting at home on their keyboards and missing out at life while I enjoy hunting the Himilayas in March as I did the Caprivi and the Carpathians over the past six months.

    I side with personal responsability. All of those situations are a drain on our health insurance industry that end up raising premiums for those of us who live healthy lifestyles. You can live and die from your own choices. Absolutely. That is what liberty is and what makes this country so...

    The fact that you are resorting to calling people sheep is enough for me to prove what kind of a thinker you are. Isn't it ironic that those who like to call others "sheep" are themselves taking medication for sheep when they wind up with covid?

    Dr. Malone is one out of thousands, maybe millions, who is being used and exploited to push an agenda. I agree with much of what you wrote, the problem is, look how many people right here on Rokslide have already been demonizing those like myself who actually believe in medical science. Is...

    Operation warp speed. What's your point? Mrna vaccines has been in development for over 10 years. You are clueless if you think covid hasn't caused a problem with hospital bed shortages all over the country. I of course won't change your mind if people like alex Jones and tucker Carlson...

    In my opinion, those who are unvaxxed and ending up in the ICU, due to something they could have easily prevented, should lose hospital admission privelidges if other people who have serious health issues needs those resourses and open rooms are on short supply. How would you feel if someone you...

    Central Asia 2022

    In Asia, always yes with a guide through an outfitter. With the permits required and the checkpoints in many of thse countries I don't think it would be possible to do so otherwise. If you are looking for an international DIY mountain hunt I would look at New Zealand. In New Zealand there are no...

    Swarovski V5i vs V6i scope comparison

    Don't be afraid to go with the Z5. Optically, the Z5 are excellent. Some people say they have had issues but mine never lost zero and tracked reliably, and I took that scope all over the globe including some very rugged hunts with long 10-hour jeep rides, horsback rides, slips and falls, unhappy...

    Central Asia 2022

    Not worried in the least, and in two months I am going to northern Pakistan for blue sheep. I have hunted Turkey twice, Kyrgyzstan three times, Mongolia, Azerbaijan, etc, and never had a single issue that made me fearful. The meat stays with the locals. The hides and horns are taken back as...
