Taking Equity out of Home OP spoke to me - now, me too!
No, not necessarily, but you should certainly have a plan and be on track to accomplish your goals laid out in that plan before spending extravagantly. For example, say you want to retire at 65, with a 120k standard of living. To do that successfully, you need to know how much to save each... -

Disability insurance is a huge gap I see commonly in financial planning. Most responsible people obtain life insurance, yet statistically, you are far more likely to get injured or ill and not be able to work, than you are to actually die. Every family man should have enough disability... -

There’s good debt and bad debt. Inexpensive and tax deductible debt to put a roof over your head and to purchase an appreciating asset is good debt. Credit cards, auto loans (usually), or funding non essential discretionary purchases is bad debt. -

Taking Equity out of Home OP spoke to me - now, me too!
This is bananas. Another one? The legacy you are actually leaving your family with is simply an example of poor financial decision making. Ever wonder why being broke often seems to run in families? It’s because of this type of thing and the examples taught to children. In addition to those... -

What lighter arrow for hunting?
Not exactly. Momentum is what is harder to stop. KE is a measurement of energy AT impact. Hit something dense, like bone, and on a light and fast, but high KE arrow, most of that energy on paper immediately dissipates. Now pack some momentum in there and that energy is retained AFTER impact... -

What lighter arrow for hunting?
Haha, solid attempt at comedy. There's nothing I'm unwilling to try with archery/hunting/shooting, and little I haven't tried, including lighter arrows. I've killed well into the triple digits animals with a bow and well into double digits with different species. Lighter = louder, and I don't... -

Scope mounting loctite or not?
This is correct. Actually, green Loctite could be the solution everyone here is looking for. It’s a wicking compound. You drop it on AFTER torquing down the screw. So you can dry torque to get an accurate value, and then apply and it will wick down into the threads. I’ve used it on two... -

Yes, but the haircut automatically disqualifies anything he says. -

Please do! I'd love to see how that scope does. -

I don’t know enough about that particular brand to comment. -

Scope mounting loctite or not?
They don’t recommend it because they know they make paper thin, wimpy, scope tubes that can’t handle 18 inch pound of torque -

Scope mounting loctite or not?
You would probably be surprised to learn that some of the highest end scope manufactures make the worst scopes. -

Let me guess, Leupold, Vortex or Swarovski? -

NX8 4x32x50 vs ATACR 4-16-42
I went through this and bought the NX8, only because I have no use for a 34mm tube in a hunting rifle. The eyebox issues of the 4-32 nx8 are a non issue. The 2.5-20 is the one that’s problematic. That said, I also have little use for the top half of the mag range. In the middle, where it... -

Danner Elk Hunter
Some of us OG’s were wearing Danner Elk Hunters long before Kenetreks or Crispis et al ever hit the scene. No idea if the new versions are anything like the old, but they used to be awesome boots before everyone went all mountaineering dork.
