I have seen a few guys burned out carrying packs. One guy missed an opportunity because he tried to take his pack off to shoot. I will pick a spot a couple miles out and hunt from the spike camp. When it is time to move, you hunt the morning and pack up and move a few miles during the day. You...

I gave up the microfleece layer for a gore windstopper softshell jacket. I love it. If I need a little insulation, I have a synthetic vest to go under it. I never leave without my hard shell jackey and rain pants.

I do work for infrastructure and dept of defense. We all have those letters in hand so we can produce that and our company ID if questioned by officers.
"Essential" is pretty reaching. Notifications were also sent to our critical suppliers and vendors notifying them that they are "Essential"...
I love this. There is no point in liking all of these entries. I feel like I work "hard", but I am always impressed with and grateful for the selfless actions of all these people that look out for us.
Vortex scope: We hiked in 5 miles for a November elk hunt. We left our guns under a tarp for a night while we scouted and met up with another hunter. My vortex scope was fogged out and dead. My brothers lupy was perfect as usual.
I also gave up the BA fly creek after one trip. Not a bad design...
