    Rail for Tikka?

    I'm really happy with the Spuhr mount for Tikka; even though the gap between rings isn't as wide as Tier One's, it gives you tons of fire-aft positioning flexibility due to having four options for placing the recoil pin. It's barely any heavier than the separate Sportsmatch HTO73s — only 29...

    Yeti releases $400 cast iron skillet

    I love cooking and I have some chefs among my friends; none of us is buying this ridiculous thing. Besides, carbon steel is the way to go if you want better finish quality than cast iron.

    Yeti releases $400 cast iron skillet

    What benefit does a $400 cast-iron pan give compared to a $40 one?

    Yeti releases $400 cast iron skillet

    The same result could be achieved from polishing and re-seasoning a cheap one. I suppose it’s more convenient when the finishing is already smooth, but when it comes down to it, cast iron is cast iron.

    Yeti releases $400 cast iron skillet

    @Mike D Texas I’ve never heard of forging cast iron, whether by hand or otherwise. :unsure: Anyway, what’s the difference between a fancy cast-iron pan and a basic one, in practical terms?

    Yeti releases $400 cast iron skillet

    Le Creuset, while not exactly cheap, is still a screaming bargain compared to this thing.

    Yeti releases $400 cast iron skillet

    Absolutely. I like to use a rectangular griddle; this one matches the size of the big elements on my induction top and is also fantastic on an outdoor charcoal or gas grill. Only cost about fifty bucks, too! Sous-vide is generally my go-to before final searing on cast iron or carbon steel, but...

    Yeti releases $400 cast iron skillet

    A DeBuyer carbon steel pan is better-quality and will cook circles around that ridiculous thing at a fraction of the cost. Why anyone would buy a fancy cast-iron pan is beyond me.

    Drugs - An honest use and need

    Let's not blame the victims here. Purdue Pharma (among others) aimed to get as many people hooked on their brand of opiate as possible, and it worked. Of course it's effective for pain relief; the stuff is essentially morphine.

    Tell us what you think about E-bikes for hunting??

    How does this benefit me? :unsure:

    What gear are you looking to buy before this fall?

    Got too much gear; I need to make a list of what to sell before this fall.

    E bike vs setting up a regular bike

    Haven't had any failures on any of the electric bikes yet; I run either XT or the 51T-compatible 11-speed Deore derailleurs and they're all fine. No different than a normal mountain bike in that regard. Riese & Müller offers the awesome Rohloff 14-speed geared hub on many of their bikes if...

    E bike vs setting up a regular bike

    The main two are a Moustache X-Road FS 7, and a customized Riese & Müller Load 60. The stock Bosch drive on the R&M will haul 100+ kilos of passenger/cargo up a hill without an issue on a 48-tooth chainring and 11-51T cassette. Really handy for taking the dog and kids afield. Likewise, the...

    E bike vs setting up a regular bike

    You don’t need 1000W to climb hills if you have a mid-drive system instead of a hub motor. The bike doesn’t have to be super-heavy, either. Also, it’s possible to carry a spare battery or two if range is an issue.

    kitchen countertop- concrete, Corian, other?

    Granite is nice. Maybe check out something called “compact laminate”, too; tough, low-profile, maintenance-free and has some very nice finishes available in my opinion.

    Too many podcasts?

    That’s a bit like someone saying they can’t stand to listen to music. I mean, there is a pretty wide range of content and quality; it’s not all ad-filled junk with idiots yammering over each other. I totally agree that some (many, in fact) are unlistenable, but others are must-listen. And...

    Too many podcasts?

    Any favourites? I’m starting to get bored of my regular ones, and it’ll be a while before a new season of Blowback drops.

    How much caffeine per day for you?

    Not only are the logistics improbable, but that’s also potentially a lethal dose. I’m hoping he meant 500-1000 mg.

    long inseam pants

    @mgmicky Yeah, the unhemmed Fjällräven inseam is 38.5", which is pretty fantastic in my opinion. They're the only pair of outdoorsy pants I've come across where I haven't wanted more length. Really tough and comfortable, too.
