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
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

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...

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
