    Watch?

    Don’t know if they’re still available, but several years ago I got a G-Shock Riseman and love it. It’s got the atomic clock feature and syncs everyday, is solar (haven’t changed a battery since getting it I think 7+ years ago), and has an altimeter, barometer, and temperature sensor. I hope to...

    Fit of L&S Synergy Footbeds?

    You guys provided some good insights on aftermarket insoles and after trying some different ones in my boots, I decided to give the Lathrop and Sons synergy footbeds a try. I was hoping some on here might be able to help me with a fit issue I’ve run into? My boots are Scarpa Zanskars and the...

    Same here. My dad, as well. Would’ve been a great get with such a low price. Jeremy

    Cabelas - Under Armour Ridge Reaper forest 03 jacket $30 - size Large

    Got one ordered last night and thought I’d be good. Woke up today to another email from Cabela’s saying it’s now back ordered. Guessing I won’t be getting a jacket... Now I’m trying to figure out how long to wait before trying to get my money back...? Was a fantastic deal for the jacket-worth a...

    DIY stove stand set up

    I bent up some stainless rod for my legs. I drilled two holes in each end out towards the edges. I used wire hangers to get the bends close to what I wanted since it was far easier to make adjustments with that before going at it with the stainless. Then with my templates, I bent up the good...

    Fire Starting & Wood Prep

    Good info. I made some fire starters a few years back out of cardboard egg crate, parafin wax, and wood chips. I used them this year to help light fires in my stove. I also had some commercial fire sticks that I tried side by side. Each trip I took out handed me wet wood-not “soaked”, but...

    Stove wire?

    I started with steel fishing leader and the associated leader “sleeves” to crimp the ends together to make the rings. I got heavier leader and saw it had nylon mixed into the stainless. It ended up being a bad deal. The nylon burned when I fired the stove up and most of them ended up popping...

    Insoles?

    5MilesBack- That’s too bad-and frustrating, I’m sure. Can I ask how they slipped or what direction? Was it something that was pretty isolated to downhill and then bunching up at the toe? Or did they just move all over? What boots were they in? Just curious if it had anything to do with a more...

    Insoles?

    It looked like Cabela’s carries the synergy footbeds online, I’m curious if they do in the store. I’ve got one nearby as well as an REI. I think I’ll try to go over sometime and see how a few of the different ones feel in my boots and go from there. I think it’s interesting how a few people have...

    Broadhead sharpening

    Are yours two or three blade heads? If three blade, it’s a lot easier. You can put two of them on the stone, file, or sandpaper and that creates your angle. Go up in grit or however fine of a stone, etc and you’re there. For a two blade, you have to hold it to set the angle which can be really...

    Best game bags?

    ^^^I did the same this year. Easy project and worked well. Jeremy

    Good hiking boots for Morton’s Neuroma

    I sure hope you find something that works for you. My wife had that exact diagnosis a few years back. She’s a tough one-pretty much refuses to go to a doctor unless she absolutely has to. She just “pushes through”. She finally went in and had to have surgery for the neuroma. She’d wake up at...

    Scarpa Zanskars Review

    Scarpa Zanskar Review I’ve never done a review and as it stands, this is only some initial thoughts as I just got the boots. This is bound to be far less helpful than many of the great reviews on here, but I found little on these boots from hunters, so thought I’d at least put something here...

    Insoles?

    Found a co-worker who does some meaningful backpacking trips and he tried some superfeet (I think he said orange) in his Asolo boots. He liked the cushion on his forefoot but ended up with hot spots on his heels. He felt that the heel on the insoles were thick enough that it lifted his heels out...

    Insoles?

    This is definitely interesting information. I’ve worn boots for many years, both work and hunting. I’m certainly intrigued at how much different folks like them/feel they help regarding more comfort. I’d be curious if there are many people who have tried these different insoles and went back to...

    Insoles?

    I’ve never added aftermarket insoles to my footwear. I’ve seen a whole lot of threads on insoles and that they can help with foot problems, aiding in arch support, or adding volume so an otherwise larger boot fits better. I think I have a pretty average foot-most brands all fit me fine and I...

    Stove use question

    Brad- That’s that’s quite the little tool to take along. I don’t have that brand of pad, but I could see how it would be nice to have along. Thanks for the idea. Jeremy

    Stove use question

    I’m like several of the others-a stick gets used to open the door and adjust the damper. I’m definitely curious about the hollow antenna idea-I’ve needed to get some air into the stove to help things along. I also bring some firestarters and have found that’s helped me out a couple times. I...

    Scarpa Zanskar?

    I think the number of despises answers my question :). I’ve been doing more reading and got to try on a few different boots, unfortunately no one locally carries the Zanskar. I’m leaning towards them, but need to do a bit more checking. If I end up getting them, maybe I’ll post up my thoughts in...

    Teepee advise

    You can buy pre-made stove jacks or you can buy the material from places like ripstopbytheroll.com. When I made my pyramid tent, I ended up making my own jack with material from them. Jeremy
