    Schnee's Beartooth 0g Longterm Review

    I got a pair of the Beartooth's this past Sept and wore them quite a bit over the hunting season. No issues and they were great right out of the box. As part of my fitness plan for an elk hunt I'm going on next November I've been going on 5-8 mile hikes every weekend. I'm wearing a 30lb...

    Black Ovis Merino Boxers

    I have 3-4 pairs and like them. They breath and are comfortable. although one pair I had ripped in the crotch without much use.

    Weed Whackers

    I've tried a few electric yard tools and won't use them again. I'll stick with my tried and true Stihl gas products.

    Don't underestimate old guy strength

    These are all 1 rep maxes. Bench 275, Squat 375 and Dead Lift 405. I'm not flat benching much any more. 10 years ago I tore a Pec benching 320. Every now and then I'll push it a bit and do flat benches. Typically though I'm using dumbells or machines of some type now.

    Don't underestimate old guy strength

    I'm 60 and a typical workout week is Crossfit 4 nights a week, a regular strength workout the other 3 days, ride my bike 10-12 miles at lunch 3 days a week. I'm 5'5"165 and can still break 1000lbs total benching, squatting and deadlifting easily. I've been working out this hard since I was 12...

    Hydration Drinks

    I stopped using the WA Hydrate and Recover because the 1st 2 ingredients are Fructose and Maltodextrin. I've dropped as much sugar and artificial sweeteners as possible from my diet. Right now I'm searching for a replacement.

    Food Recommendations for staying full and losing weight

    Since mid December I've cut out all sugars, processed foods and typically anything considered junk foods. I have also dropped anything with maltodextrin in it. It's basically a highly processed starch that has a higher glycemic index than sugar. I'm mainly concentrating on what I all meats...

    Monster Transmissions , anybody use them ?

    Look at Suncoast Transmissions. They specialize in Allison transmissions. When I had my 2004 2500Hd I had it tuned and other work done. I did the transmission first and the guy doing my work recommended Suncoast. I did my research and ended up going with a Suncoast transmission and the...

    6.5 PRC action question- LA or SA

    I've had a 6.5PRC in a SA, XM and a LA. The Short Action was a Bergara that had major feeding issues and had been back to Bergara multiple times. Bergara ended up buying the rifle back from me. Cudos to Bergara. My next was a Alamo Precision Maverick and it came in a LA. Great rifle and...

    Best Cheap Headlamp

    I have 3 of these from Walmart. They work great. I use the green light mostly. I always have one in my truck, in my day pack and in the house. Energizer Vision Ultra HD 550 Lumen LED Headlamp

    If you were just starting out what pack would you buy?

    I don't think there is a do all treestand, daypack multi day pack that will cover all of those areas acceptably. I deer hunt in the east mostly and carry a Badlands Superday pack. I've hunted Montana a couple of times and going back next November. Originally I bought a MR Metcalf for next year...

    What meat grinder do you use?

    Cabelas 3/4HP works great for me.

    Canadian whitetail outfitters

    I've hunted with AWGS and they were top notch! Actually the deer in my avatar pic is one that I shot up there. If I were going to go back to Alberta they would be the service I'd go with.

    Looking for some caliber advice for elk

    Recoil on the 7PRC is definitely less than the 300WM. It's not bad at all. To me it feels like its along the lines of a lightweight 308.

    Looking for some caliber advice for elk

    I have a 6.5PRC, 7PRC and also a 300WM. The 7PRC will do everything the 300WM will with the same weight bullets and more. I've decided to keep the 7PRC as my all around rifle and sell the 300WM. When I look at the ballistics and compare the 7PRC to the 300WM the PRC starts surpassing the WM...

    Favorite Daypack

    I've been using a Badlands Superday for a couple of years now. Really like it. I use it for whitetail and treestand hunting. Carries everything I need comfortably. The hip built even has a built in pistol holster. If you need something a bigger to also haul out meat then any of the MR Pop-up...

    Spend 3x the money as a Harris bipod???

    The Atlas with the non rotating legs is rock solid. It deploys as quickly as the Harris. I have 2 of them and at least for range work wouldn't use another bipod.
