    Parachute hunting?

    All of the following is just good natured "what if" stuff for a thought exercise: IMHO - Sounds like a nightmare kinda. A rig that will hold you and your gear isn't going to be lightweight - and all parachute rigs are pretty damn expensive. It's something you will either carry or cache in...

    Short quotes that speak volumes.

    Stoic philosophers had some good ones. "We suffer more often in imagination than in reality" - Seneca "It is difficulties that show what men are" - Epictetus "Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one" - Marcus Aurelius Mind of a Stoic

    Mil-Vet MOS - Electronics&Soldering

    Can only speak to the Marine side, and I may be mistaken - but I think the closest we have are in the 2841 Radio Repair MOS. I was combat arms, but I had a buddy who did that prior to changing jobs and told me about it. The other branches that focus more on specific technical skills probably...

    Trijicon Tenmile SFP abuse

    Definitely Between my experiences with the Tenmile and Accupoint line, it's hard not to become a little bit of a fanboy. Trijicon definitely has some winners in their lineup.

    Would you hunt with a cheap rifle?

    We are in a golden age more or less - the above is a very attainable thing in 2022. A good buddy of mine bought a Tikka T3x chambered in 6.5PRC and set it up with a Trijicon Tenmile he got on a big discount a couple years ago. The very first day on the range we dialed it in and were banging...

    First Lite Customer Service = GARBAGE

    +1 Coming from the shooting community, I have 100% noticed certain clothing hits a point of diminishing returns when it comes to cost/durability. There is a lot of well made stuff for cheap now, and it comes from the same place as the expensive stuff half the time...just might have to make...

    Best stove/pot combo

    How is the performance of the Soto in windy conditions? I have been using a titanium 750ml pot + a BRS stove for a while and my BRS finally died. Thinking of replacing it with something that performs a little better in less than ideal conditions.

    Subaru durability

    A good way to approach vehicle ownership, regardless of brand. A sample size of one, but another option is a post-2015 Mazda. My wife is an avid hiker/rockhound and thrashes her CX-9 getting to trailheads. Seems unkillable and is a just a little nicer maybe on the inside than most of what...

    Who has ditched the trusted Nalgene bottle?

    SmartWater bottles paired with a Sawyer filter have worked well for me on solo backpacking trips - it's not the perfect answer but it works pretty well at checking multiple boxes.

    New guy from northern AZ

    Hello all - glad I found this place and looking forward to learning some new things. Fishing was always big in my family, but hunting not so much - I plan on changing that. Specifically, I am pretty interested in bowhunting. I have been into recreational archery (compound and traditional)...
