    Fixed 6x S&B questions?

    I have two of the S&B 6x42s. I have the last made German version and just took it to Alaska for 8 days and didn’t ever notice a lack of anything as far as field performance in low light.

    Drew the Mule deer tag for Big Bend State Park!

    I hunted next door outside of Presidio. It isn’t overrun with deer. The deer don’t rely on water near as much as you would imagine and they can do a loop every 3-4 days. Patience and scouting is key. Season is pre-rut which adds some additional difficulty. Most of success is either luck or...

    Pick apart my retirement plan

    My plan is to not touch my deferred comp account until 55 and start drawing down then to counteract inflection. Should be a chunk. I also kinda struggle with the idea of what is productive? I’ve don’t get to spend time with my friends like I would like to or be a regular at church small group...

    How to extend temp rating of sleeping bag

    I have found that a bivy bag adds about 10 degrees warmth. A mil issued goretex bag is great for truck camping. For backpacking there are several companies at all price ranges. I also sleep in my puffy jacket and long johns.

    Pick apart my retirement plan

    Thanks. I would be open to any groups/companies you would suggest that provide this service on an hourly basis. What is the going rate for per hour for financial planning? In the past I’ve run into a fair bit of incompetence and shiesty behavior in the financial industry whether it be 529...

    Pick apart my retirement plan

    Appreciate the clarity. I guess what I was more looking for would be “pro tips.” I’ve ran the numbers multiple times and if my lifestyle stays the same my boys will get a pile when I’m done. Also lifestyle and life satisfaction. My boys will be in high school when I retire. I love spending time...

    Pick apart my retirement plan

    Appreciate it. I have watched my parents always struggle with financial decisions so it was a great teacher. I think you are spot on with the retirement budget and getting ahead on home expenses. I still hope to be able to save some in retirement since I’ll be “young” but I have seen 5-6 guys I...

    Pick apart my retirement plan

    I’m not 60, but this is my community and I’m hesitant to post on reddit or another forum. I’m in LE and work for a dept than has one of the last pretty decent pensions. I moved to Texas at 22 for work because of the job and the idea of early retirement. I’m 7 years away. Details: Current plan...

    Investment fund for the grandkids???

    I did 529 for both of my boys. Plan to nearly fund state school in Texas which is 100-110k right now. If they get a scholarship you can withdraw penalty free and contributions can be withdrawn penalty free anytime. Also, new law past last year that up to 35k can be rolled into a retirement...

    Boots: light and fast or heavy and bomb proof?

    My favorite boot is a Crispi Lapponia. I’ve wore them in Colorado and all over Texas chasing turkey and Mule Deer. Just wore them for 9 days in Alaska and I did get a pretty tender foot side hilling across tundra but my hips/knees hate heavy boots and they felt fine. For me I think they are the...

    Sharpening Knives in the Field

    I use stones on my knives and finish with a leather stop and green stropping compound. In the field I take a cut down paint stick with rough leather on the back with preloaded stropping compound. Picked everything up from here. Their catalog also explains most everything you need...
