    Argali Rincon 2p vs Absaroka 4p

    I have the Absaroka and used it in Colorado. It was just me in the tent with a stove and it's a palace. I cannot imagine trying to manage my gear in a 2p with the stove. I've stayed in 2p tents on my own and with gear and a stove it's pretty tight. It's doable, but I like to stretch my legs and...

    What clothes should we buy before PFAS regulations?

    We really need a sarcasm font.

    What clothes should we buy before PFAS regulations?

    You sure the smoke from all of the various items to burning isn't what is causing an uptick in firefighter cancer? It's interesting that you will probably sit in traffic and breathe in far more cancer causing carcinogens than what your boots will give you through your socks. Hell, unless you're...

    bear hunting weapons of choice.

    What bullets was he using in the 10mm? I find it highly suspect that it wouldn't penetrate if using proper bullets.

    bear hunting weapons of choice.

    Weapon of choice would depend on how limited you want to be. Certainly you could take a recurve now but now you're stuck having to get 40 yards and under. Ok, you want more range? Take a front end stuffer (muzzleloader), now your limit has been upped to 150-200 yards (average shooter). Oh, you...

    Who else makes a WIDE down semi mummy?

    I hate being constricted in a bag. I swapped to a 0° down quilt for most cold weather trips. You will need a high R value pad. Your pad may be something to look at upgrading first since I find that's where most people are getting cold from. If you are not stuck on down, you can look at Kifaru...

    SG 5900 or 6900

    It's mere ounces, always go bigger. You can cinch a large bag smaller but that small bag is going to always be small.

    SG 5900 or 6900

    You answered your own question with the 5900 being tight at times.

    Is There Ever a Time to Hunt with Magnum Calibers?

    Before "magnum" there was "express". It is marketing jargon, plain and simple. Yes, more speed is a good thing. Yes, more energy is a good thing. Having both of these translates to an excellent thing. Larger bullets with more energy only matter if you are dumping more into your game than the...

    If you don't know why anyone would need 28x, why are you opting for that magnification? I.e. what led to to it

    New Argali 3P Tent? Help Me Design it.

    If it's as pictured in my mind you've got me sold... but my mind also believes the Ammo Fairy brings me free cases of ammunition and Gun Santa makes all my new guns in a factory for free. Alas, my accountant says it's false news and is draining my funds. So my mind is pretty wild.

    Argali sleeping bag review in the works

    I have in fact used side zip bags the same way. It does work. Quite well surprisingly. Just not ideal. Then again neither is the center zip, albeit it does work better. Guess this is why I own several bags and quilts of varying ratings. Having bags show real average-folk warmth ratings should...

    Argali sleeping bag review in the works

    Any possible way you would eventually offer a version with a center zip? Are the tradeoffs too great of a penalty in weight for this to fit the mold of what your bag is designed for? As you probably know, center zip gives much more versatility allowing you to use a warmer rated bag in warmer...

    Scope Recommendation - 400 yards

    All of these responses and not one person offered you the correct advice; Go see an opthalmologist 👓 and have your vision checked prior to refitting your bang stick. In my very own opinion, unless you are shooting at the gnats nuts on the back of a fly sitting on the top of the nose of the...

    Send back first or okay to sell?

    It's a savage, re-barrel it. Do some YouTube learn'n and you'll see it doesn't take all that much to do. Little effort and you can make it whatever you want. Be safe.

    Tipsy Tuesday #44 Steve Evans Journey with Custom Rifles

    Appreciate you appreciating my facetious nature. Yes hunting with something you have assembled yourself is as near to keeping your cake but eating it too that one can get.

    "Assembling" a rifle is not building either.

    New Argali 3P Tent? Help Me Design it.

    Perhaps I'm one of the few who do not understand the need for 2 doors. If you have two, or even three in the shelter laying 90° opposed to the door, the access is the same for all three people. Having a second door really does nothing more than add weight. Certainly the second door can be handy...
