    2024 SKRE Gear reviews

    Yeah - I agree about the breathability of these pants. I wore them a couple of weeks ago and they felt a bit swampy even with it was pretty cool out - early morning 30 degree weather. It was very noticeable by the time it hit the 60s and 70s. Far more so than my other pants, even with the...

    e-bike trailer attached to frame backpack

    I took it last week on my moose hunt, but my pack out ended up being like 2 feet, so I haven’t gotten it bloody yet. Next up - elk season.

    e-bike trailer attached to frame backpack

    It is good. I have hiked about 10 miles with it just to work out the kinks. It definitely work best with weight forward - just like a trailer and a truck. The most weight I have hauled is 140 pounds, which was fine, pretty easy even up a moderate hill. My hunting partner tried it out a month...

    Separate Day for Quads and Hammies

    Man, even when you are not exercising, you exercising. And only 2k calories - you are eating the number of calories that sustain the metabolic rate of most inactive women. I bet if you bumped your calories, your body composition and strength would change dramatically. There is no way you have...

    Separate Day for Quads and Hammies

    Both. Also, the training volume. Probably your job too - is it physically and/or mentally stressful? I probably could have managed the demands you put on your body in my 20s, but I am in my late 40s now and I would be a wreck now. I would be getting sick all the time, grumpy, lethargic...

    Brother, you are running on empty, in my opinion.

    Separate Day for Quads and Hammies

    Seems like you have a lot going on. You have lost 30 pounds in less than a year - you are consistently in a caloric deficit, so your endurance, strength, and muscle mass gains will all be blunted. Your goals include both endurance and strength, which require different training approaches...

    2024 SKRE Gear reviews

    I was one of the lucky winners of the SKRE Venture Flex pants. So, first I want to give SKRE a big thank you for the pants. I am excited to see how these pants hold up. I have high expectations, and I will update this writeup once I have worn them in the field. So, here are my first impressions...

    I Pushed SOS and Got Rescued: Lessons Learned

    Listen to Peter Attia’s latest podcast. The podcast guest is Sebastian Junger. The podcast name is the drive. Moral of the story - don’t ignore the stomach ache.

    Hearing protection at the range

    I double up at the range and I use the highest decibel rated muffs and plugs I can find. Other than that I don’t know what else can be done. My ears ring all the time as it is and I don’t want it getting worse.

    Choosing where to live in Colorado

    Do you currently work in the Springs? What’s your schedule? If you only do one commune a week, why not live somewhere an hour or two away? Lots of options. Castle Rock, Elizabeth, Bailey, Buena Vista, and everything in between. We are in Douglas County - schools are great, everything is...

    2 elk in one season

    Unless you have a specific goal about the class of animal you shoot, my advice is buy both tags - hell, buy a bear tag too. Shoot the first thing you are happy with. Assuming you have a place for the meat, decide on the second tag after you have packed out the first. But if you haven’t cut up...

    Terminal ascent or trophy copper

    Aren’t they both basically zeroed at 26.5 and 300? I don’t see how the tenth of an inch on the terminal ascent matters at all. What does your gun shoot the best?

    How will this bear taste?

    I shot an acorn bear last year and it tasted great.

    e-bike trailer attached to frame backpack

    I ended up going simple and it might work fine. Just used u bolts to attach a 1 1/4 inch piece of red oak to the frame. It was super easy to pull my wife around the neighborhood, but it got some strange looks. I will load it up and give it some test runs on a trail soon.

    e-bike trailer attached to frame backpack

    Thanks. It is not rocky. This thing would not be worth it in any other area I have hunted. The hiking is uniquely easy until you get to the spot we camp. Tipping would be a very bad thing, but I don't think it will be an issue here.

    e-bike trailer attached to frame backpack

    Yeah, I will have to figure out how to deal with the cart on top of me scenario. With a rigid attachment to the backpack, the cart should stop before getting on top of me - cart is attached to backpack with a rigid pole, backpack is attached to me. But in the end, I would have to get myself...
