    Anybody using Chota Hippies?

    I’m getting geared up for an Alaska trip, and the transporter recommended these over chest waders. Also looking for some fairly supportive wading boots. My ankles are pretty much shot Is/has anyone used these things? They look like they’d work for a lot of smaller stream crossings

    Travel Pack for Backcountry Elk?

    Some of the packs people are using for hunting are as minimalist as you can get (see some of seek outside's offerings, no break away bag minimal pockets). If your pack works for you under heavy loads, focus your cash on optics, boots, and a good layering system

    Ideal rifle weight - Long range backpack rifle

    Pulled the trigger on a build. For those that are paying attention to a couple of other threads on this forum, I also happen to be on TBH, and the deal was too close to what I wanted to pass up. Here’s what the build sheet looks like: Apr hunter action, cerakoted midnight bronze Triggertech...

    Athlon Cronus vs Nightforce vs Mark 5

    I like my ATACR the best, so it sits on the rifle that gets the most use. I’d like to run that optic on everything, but I don’t have pockets that deep, so the other rifles that dial wear NXS series optics. I fondled a Mark 5 35mm, and the clicks felt great, and the lighter weight is a serious...

    Athlon Cronus vs Nightforce vs Mark 5

    Alamo Precision Rifles

    I’m in on it. They’ve spun some barrels for me before, I haven’t had any reason to complain. The price vs what you get on that deal is insane... I just wish I could swing 2 of them lol

    Gunskins

    I did an ar upper... the receiver came out terrible, it was promptly stripped. The hand guard came out pretty good. I think the less complicated the contours you’re doing (or if you’re very patient) it comes out better. By the way, that hanguard still looks like brand new with the exception of...

    Budget Ultralight Tarp?

    Couple of quotes below pulled off the home page. I could be mistaken, but it looks like he’s actively trying to close up shop “I'll only be making nests to sell as in-stock items until my back orders are fulfilled, and then that's probably it.” “I'm done with making some of the best gear in...
