    Converting a pack into a camera bag?

    Thanks Bruce! I’ll definitely check them out. That looks like a nice setup. Check out my post above. Found a company called Shimoda that has some pretty cool stuff; priced kinda comparable to Kifaru but solely for photography. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Converting a pack into a camera bag?

    Thanks! I’ll check them out. I may have found what I’m looking for, though…. Shimoda brand “core insert.” Actually, their backpacks look awesome but I already have a bunch of Kifaru bags and the Shimoda’s (X30, X50 & X70) are too heavy to put inside a backpacking pack. But the core units are...

    Converting a pack into a camera bag?

    Anyone have any suggestions for a soft camera storage system or padded dividers that I can use to convert my Kifaru Shape Charge (2000ci) or Stryker XL (1500ci) into a camera bag? I need room for at least 1 body with a lens and 2 additional lenses, a spot for filters, a spot for batteries and...

    Need Sony camera advice - does my plan make sense?

    I realize that it’s certainly possible to get nice photos and video using just the sensor stabilization, after talking to a few pros that are using the RIV and watching SO many reviews it became pretty clear that having BOTH types of stabilization running produced noticeably better results; at...

    Need Sony camera advice - does my plan make sense?

    The only thing I wonder about that lens is whether I’d be tied to a tripod at longer focal lengths because it doesn’t have stabilization in the lens? I do like ‘running and gunning’ so in-lens stabilization is really attractive to me. Still, it’s incredibly cheap right now! Sent from my iPhone...

    Need Sony camera advice - does my plan make sense?

    Thanks Joel! Unless someone talks me into a different lens setup, I’ll call you Monday to get an order placed. I don’t think the Tamron 17-28mm will have enough reach for filming a shot on a whitetail out to ~40yds. Most shots are 20-25yds. I think the Sony WILL have plenty of reach and will...

    Need Sony camera advice - does my plan make sense?

    I’ve been talking with them. Joel and another guy. Still, I was hoping to get some opinions from other folks on RS that have experience with the A7 series. Like Jordan Budd since she’s the one that started me down the A7 path a couple of years ago. Something to be said for personal individual...

    Need Sony camera advice - does my plan make sense?

    I've been struggling on the decision which Sony A7 camera to buy as I leave camcorders behind and want to start doing a lot more still photography. I used to do a lot of (video) camera work for a company that produces around 8 shows for the Outdoor Channel but I mostly filmed with a pretty large...

    300WSM barrel length for hunting rifle?

    I didn’t even consider barrel length for the suppressor I’m using. Great point. I’ll most likely be using my Ultra 7 so now I know my lengths are appropriate. Thanks for bringing that up and giving me some useful info! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    300WSM barrel length for hunting rifle?

    I’m about to have a new rifle built and I’m trying to decide on a barrel length for 300WSM. This is going to be a multi caliber/barrel rifle built on a Bighorn SR3 SA with a SwitchLug from WTO; but the 300WSM barrel will only be used for hunting. I favor shorter barrels on my hunting rifles...

    Best glassing mits

    I just tested out a bunch of mitts in -30° hunting predators in the Brooks Range - Kuiu down and synthetic mitts and the First Lite glomitts. I’m a big Kuiu fan and they actually loaned me some of my gear to test on that hunt but I gotta be honest... those First Lite Glomitts were, hands down...

    Puffy

    All I can tell ya is that I wore my Kuiu Ultra down Pro jacket on my late January predator hunt above the Arctic circle in Alaska and I was never cold. I wore a light merino base under a heavy merino base and then a grid fleece under my down jacket. It was -20° to -30°. I kinda feel like ANY of...

    Good pair of suspenders?

    I need to find myself a good pair of suspenders for the backcountry, hunting, etc. Always having problems with my pants working their way down since I got no a$$ for them to hang on. Lol! I need something with clip on ends so I can wear them with my Kuiu Katana pants, Pranas, Wrangler outdoors...

    201 Level Tikka Rifle Build

    Congrats on the bear and the rifle! What barrel length do you have and what velocities are you getting out of it with your loads? I’m getting ready to build a custom 300wsm and I’m still debating on barrel length. I’d like to get something like a 166gr or 177gr hammer up around 3k. I don’t think...

    201 Level Tikka Rifle Build

    Great build and solid advice. I’ve got a Tikka CTR in .260 REM that I bought years ago to get into shooting longer ranges and it’s a great rifle and a fantastic base for a future semi-custom project. Just thought I’d point out one positive and one negative, in terms of customization, to Tikka...

    Good tripod and head

    RRS is definitely awesome but didn’t you say you didn’t want to spend that much? Look at the Shadow Systems/Hog Saddle website. He has some great options that will save you a bunch of money. If you’re going to get into competition LR shooting or you have lots of discretionary income, the RRS...
