    InReach Explorer+, InReach Mini, or Zoleo?

    When the app is open, and you have a set message fetch duration set, say 15mins, it will actively show the battery life in bars at the lower right of your app screen. It will say "Nest messaging check in " " minutes" to the left of those bars. To the left of the word "Next", there's a small...

    InReach Explorer+, InReach Mini, or Zoleo?

    Its pretty accurate I think. I have had mine on standby for over 9 days multiple times before Amber battery warming comes on. That’s just standby so I cant comment on constant use quite yet buts its not really designed for constant use i.e as a map

    InReach Explorer+, InReach Mini, or Zoleo?

    I did the same debate and went with the Zoleo. Reasons for me: Weight vs battery life Only $4 a month to put account on hold If my phone breaks or is dead i can still send check in signals and SOS Sheds some weight as your phone is the screen and your going to take your phone anyways Have many...

    Backpack Sleeping Bag vs Hunting Sleeping Bag

    I would personally would avoid the Sierra being thay its only 550 power, thats real low And the Marmot is overpriced for a 4lb 650 fill bag Going rate for something in that range is about $200. There are a few decent 2.5lb 650 fil bags out there for $200-$250 Mountain hardware Bishop Pass its...

    What color is your quilt/sleeping bag?

    All my bags are orange for the emergency situations. Bag color doesn’t matter in general as it’s in the tent, but if needed for an emergency it’s sure nice to have a huge item like an open quilt a bright color

    Starter Setup

    If your backpack hunting spend the most you can on quality lightweight gear. Car camping anything will work, backpacking totally different. Every once of weight and warmth count. That pretty much means a down bag, a silnylon or dyneema tent, and a pad with a high R rating.

    I think I need help with a scope for my wife

    Two things 1) If you shoot 2" high, being 5" high to begin with, your 7" from bulls eye, that's still 7" less than the max of 14" 2) Note that he said elk, and I was referring to elk. These numbers would be different for something smaller like a calf, or deer/antelope etc.. In that case the zero...

    I think I need help with a scope for my wife

    The kill zone of an elk is generally regarded as being 14-18”. 5” would be more than enough Is my math that bad, maybe it is, i did fail algebra once😎

    I think I need help with a scope for my wife

    This^ Know your ballistics and you’ll know your drop. Zero at 250-300 yards and you’ll be good to 400 no dialing needed. Dialing just adds another possibility of error that the animal deserves better than

    Bino/tripod suggestions

    In the budget binos my favs are the C1s and the Meopta Optikas, followed closely by Nikons. For just binos a lightwieght but solid (read-no wobble) tripod will work fine.

    Tripods?
