    Calling all Northern California deer hunters--need input

    Agree, good point Marble about the grows. I would say that its the "illegal" marijuana industry that sets up shop deep in the National Forest, Wilderness areas, or state/BLM land that has the biggest impact to the habitat. They set up in areas with easy access to water so all the fertilizer...

    Hot Weather Backpacking Shirt

    quoting myself because I just found that a few companies are making merino sun hoodies, ranging from 100g to 180g and are 20-50 UPF. I have a BlackOvis 150g 1/2 zip hoodie sitting in my closet that I hadn't thought of to wear without a shirt underneath as a sun hoodie, but I sure am going to...

    Hot Weather Backpacking Shirt

    I am looking for something similar for this summer, but I have long-ish arms and its been tough finding something that fits. Best so far (fit-wise) has been the Mountain Hardware Crater Lake hoodie although I question it's durability since the one I tried on was already pilling in the store...

    Calling all Northern California deer hunters--need input

    I completed your survey. IMO predators have been the biggest impact to hunting success in the two zones I have been hunting pretty consistently for 11 years. Huge increase in the bear, mountain lion, and wolf population. Second biggest impact has been the CA lead-free regulations exacerbated...

    UL Trekking poles that can be used for Tarp set-up. Any suggestions?

    I bought the CNOC carbon cork trekking poles even though they are expensive for two reasons. 1) they are the only trekking poles made in the USA I could find and 2) they expand up to 62” which is great for trekking pole shelters. Collapses down to 28”...

    Backpack Shootout - 9 Backpacks Go HEAD to HEAD ***Updated 8/5/2020***

    Thanks for the reviews, it's really interesting to see your thoughts on all of these. I discovered this week just how important clothing can be when training or evaluating gear. Usually I try and use a shirt of similar material to my hunting clothes (or hunting clothes themselves), but this...

    Best Sub $350 Quilt (10*-20* range)

    Quick report out on my 20* El Coyote quilt, I finally got to spend a night out in it but the weatherman was WAY off. Had a fishing trip planned for the eastern Sierras and the forecast last week for Friday night/Saturday morning was a low of 28 and a high of 50, perfect for a test run...

    WTS/WTT First Lite Fuse Zip-off Boot Top base layer in size Medium, ash color. Worn once under waders to walk 100 yards to a duck blind and back, the medium is too short for me. Trade for a full length Kiln zip-off, size medium, in like new condition. SOLD

    Why are stand alone GPS so awful?

    So I did withhold a bit of info why I needed a stand-alone GPS, but suffice to say it’s something I must have even if it is not up to snuff compared to phone tech. Carrying a second phone dedicated to mapping wasn’t an option. So I returned the Garmin 66sr and bought a 66i that I found on sale...

    Why are stand alone GPS so awful?

    This does include what they call BirdsEye satellite imagery, forgot about that. I just downloaded the image for this same area, not even going to post it it's that bad :LOL: At the highest detail you can download 2.5mi squares and there doesn't appear to be a good way to download a large number...

    Why are stand alone GPS so awful?

    If you know of a stand-alone GPS with a higher resolution screen and better included mapping please let me know. As far as I could tell this is the best it gets while still having physical buttons. I have it set for highest detail is this what you are talking about? another $100 to make a...

    Why are stand alone GPS so awful?

    Oh and I can’t forget to mention the menu that they ripped off from a mid-2000’s LG phone :eek:

    Why are stand alone GPS so awful?

    I’ve been using OnXHunt for years and recently started using CalTopo (which I don’t really like) but decided I’d make the jump into a full fledged GPS so I don’t have to keep downloading a ton of maps to my phone. I did a lot of research and bought the new “top of the line” $500 Garmin 66sr. I...

    waders

    I was in the fly shop today and they had a medium king short which fit perfect! No moose knuckle with a little extra width for movement. Problem is that size is only available in the G3 at $250 more than what I paid for the Headwaters Pro...
