    Lever gun scope

    For most applications I use lever guns for Red Dots meet the need. I run Vortex/Holosun Red Dots depending on rifle and if I want donut of death or dot only.

    Danner Boots still a good brand?

    I used to be a huge Danner acolyte, but the past pair of mountain 600's I got started squeaking after less than 100 trail miles. Just one boot. When I called them they said it is just the wear on the boots. I don't have any recommendations beyond what others have said - but I no longer...

    DO YOU OPENLY TALK ABOUT FIREARMS?

    My firearms conversation with people I don't know is "Don't Ask Don't Tell". Once I am friends with somebody if they bring it up I weight my decision from there. So some friends I have never told and known them for years - other people I just met may know, but I never start the conversation.

    How’s your fuel prices

    I just paid 5.30ish per gallon on my way home from a bear hunt this weekend. Almost didn't come home due to gas prices in Washington.

    Newbie in Western WA

    On the Tiger/Grand Ridge/Squak trail systems recently I have seen 6 different bears (one group was a set of mom and 2 cubs) between 600 to 1000 feet elevation. Only Tiger is huntable by non-high powered rifle, but with season opening in under 2 weeks do with the elevation information what you will.

    2023 BLM GRAZING RATES

    And it seems to be pretty good range for Desert Bighorn and Mule Deer. I wonder if not paying for grazing rights are the only things going on in that area, or if there happens to be some "extra harvest" from grazing operations and irrigation ditches dug there.

    Wondering if there is anyone on here that has retired early (FIRE Movement)

    My wife and I are into "FIRE" and it has been good and also bad. I'm currently under 40 and plan to retire at 55. We've technically reached "FI" but "RE" is a different part of the equation. We also set a retirement number but each milestone we hit that number gets bigger. Until I turn 40...

    Running Shoes

    Not specifically shoes - but I have recently started using quick lock style laces instead of the regular laces that came with my shoes and it seems like a game changer. IDK if it is percieved or real but it also feels like some shoes feel more comfortable with the quick lock laces instead of...

    Empty Nester Blues

    Every Saturday he hikes with me and the wife - but Cheerios and food pouches are lifesavers.

    Empty Nester Blues

    My son is old enough that he has transitioned to 1 long nap - so I can't push him in the stroller for my lunch runs during the week. I never thought I'd be sad I'm not pushing a stroller up-hill and running on pavement. But it has been a tough week since we started making the transition.

    Wod

    I was supposed to do 7 miles worth of 3/4 mile trail repeats today but I bumped a little black bear on the trail. Since he wasn't moving more than a couple feet off the trail I decided to just head home and let him be. 4 miles of running with 2 fast intervals and then just nice easy pace home...

    Incorporating step ups

    Oh dude. I do 10 push-ups each time a "new person" pings me. After I hit 100 pushups I switch to 5 push-ups and 1 pull up. At least busy days are helping me stay in good shape.

    Incorporating step ups

    When I am in calls at work where I can mostly zone out I will do weighted step ups a few times a week. Generally I just go til my legs feel heavy go back to my desk and then when I can breathe normally again I do it all over again. Work from home has been the best thing for my fitness since...

    Marathon Training w/ Mountain Training

    I try to be "marathon ready" at all times. I get in 30ish running miles a week. At least half of those miles trail running. Long runs in the 10-15 miles range, but often paired with a hike (with a toddler I carry in a pack) the same day in the summer or skiing in the winter. Other daily runs...

    Moving to the UK and hunting/"Outdoorsing" options in Europe?

    If I end up over there I will for sure look into this - and possibly reach out to get the intro to your cousin! Thanks a ton!

    Wim Hof

    It sounds like a bunch of people have found methods he teaches that help them perform better. I think lots of people have good methods that you can leverage - but as soon as someone drinks too much of the koolaid it spells disaster. I'm intrigued by the fastest barefoot half marathon. He used...
