    Need sleep system education

    This is an important question, as the answer matters a lot on gear recommendations. If you have plenty of room and space/weight is not an issue, you can't beat a Wiggy's. For 20-30 degree temps, this will keep you plenty warm down to around zero...

    Anyone have a tricked out .22 pistol they hunt squirrels with.

    Yes sir, I just went and checked back and it was actually 143 yards. The 5.7x28 only drops 4.8 inches at 125 yards.

    Anyone have a tricked out .22 pistol they hunt squirrels with.

    I have a Ruger 22/45 that I like a lot, but lately, the Ruger 5.7 has been getting most of my attention. A buddy smashed a coyote at 136 yards with his.

    Lightweight hunting knife

    Here's another Victorinox Paring Knife sheath idea: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005P0OS9E/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1 4 x 1 inch fits the 3.9 inch knife perfectly. I wrap mine with orange electrical tape to keep it in the sheath similar to YYCYAK's. Then I have...

    What’s Next for Sako Rifles?

    Wish that Tikka, Sako or Sauer would make a rifle in 6mm Creed.

    Future of Water in the Southwest vs. Retirement Plans

    This is simply not true. The Gila, Salt and Verde have more than enough water for Phoenix residential, just not enough for farming. Farms will run dry long before residential does.

    Critique my keeping it light-ish on a budget

    The Copper Spur is a great tent and the xlite is great pad. My advice on pads is get long wide every time. For the money they want for the torchlight, I'd look into a Zenbivy or a custom quilt.

    Powerbelt bullets experience

    Every mule deer (approximately 10) I have shot with a Hornady 240 gr. XTP has either dropped instantly or gone a maximum of 10-15 yards. I haven't shot an elk with them though, so can't speak to that. I have heard the same stories about powerbelts from friends, which is why I have never used...

    4 wheelers/ ATV's in the west

    I would keep it, but there are some portions of forest in Colorado where the whiny, liberal, locals who despise hunting have complained enough about hunters and atvs enough that the forest service has closed atv access, so you have to drive your truck up roads that would be better left to an atv...

    Shooting off sirui va-5

    I'm a bit late to the party, but I have used the VA-5 with an arca Spartan adapter to shoot off of quite a bit with great results. Below is a photo of my rifle set up for a kill shot on a Coues buck in January. You can actually see him bedded under the Mesquite in the center, if you zoom in...

    Leather lined boots list

    I have a pair that have held up great, they're built extremely well. Only negative is they are a bit heavy and on the stiff side to break in.

    Why are American branded trucks and most American branded vehicles so unreliable?

    Nissan went to shit when Renault (the French) bought in and it's been downhill ever since. The only decent thing Nissan does nowadays are their trucks, but Nissan isn't what it used to be. I wouldn't touch an Altima with ten-foot pole--transmissions are awful.

    Why are American branded trucks and most American branded vehicles so unreliable?

    I have owned 4 Chrysler products in my life and someone would have to pay me to own another. 2 engines in one of them before 150,000 miles (with regular maintenance); but the absolute deal breaker was the Diesel with the death wobble--would only happen on the freeway/highway when you hit a bump...

    Swaro 10x/12x or Maven 10x/12X & 18X?

    In late-January, I had the opportunity to put my Maven 18x on a tripod next to my friend's 15x SLCs. SLCs were brighter, colors were crisper and a lot clearer on the edges. No way I would buy the Mavens over the 15x SLCs if I only needed 15x. I also compared my Meopta Meostars 12x50 to my...
