    Best light trekking poles?

    I just lost the tip and some of the plastic on one of these after six years of use/abuse. Was sad to see they were no longer being made. Went with the Durston's to replace, and hope they will be close enough.

    Thumb button shot process.

    I wrap my thumb at anchor and then pull back and let the tension rotate everything as necessary. No punching or squeezing.

    Vivo forest tracker esc durability

    My everyday shoes are a slip on vivo. I was traditionally a very hard heel striker. No matter what I did, I would subconsciously go back to heel strike throughout my day. That changed when I went full time to the thinnest of soles and vivos 95% of the time. May not work for everyone, but the...

    Motorcylists... dual sport vs adventure bike ?

    I like my wr250r for tooling around. Have a set of street wheels and a knobby set. I’m not going anywhere fast, but previous owner took it from Sacramento to Tahoe often. I use it like a scooter that can go “off road” i.e I am not doing anything crazy that requires a dirt bike. Plenty capable in...

    Let’s talk pillows

    Another vote for the nemo. Pillow is one thing I don't care about the weight too much on, it needs to work or it's useless. Tried a bunch and settled on the nemo, keep it 80% inflated and if I want I can add clothes. Nothing worse than a poor nights sleep, makes any walking feel like I have a...

    Dyneema/DCF Tarps

    I have a yama mountain gear tapered tarp that I love. Looks like they no longer offer it in DCF, but I like the taper and it held up well to 20-30mph winds and the associated rain.

    I hate muzzle brakes!

    In California so a suppressor isn’t an option. Dislike brakes, both shooting and hearing them. They are effective, but overall not worth it to me. Have hearing damage from concerts and duck hunting. Took a class some years ago and was the only one without a break. Made me want to leave…

    Tricer tripods vs…..

    Curious about this. Have a RRS I love except the packing size/weight. Really the size more than the weight. Hard to give up because it’s unbelievably stable including in high winds.

    Wiser Precision BA-7 Sparrow bino adapter.

    That’s helpful. It will be going on a pair of NL 14s. I’ll stick with the stud… I use a RRS so the tension is “loose” on the head.

    Wiser Precision BA-7 Sparrow bino adapter.

    How stable is this? Only experience with a similar mount was on a kowa 55 series and was disappointed in the shake. Felt there wasn’t enough clamping force to keep minor vibrations. Not a huge deal, but it was enough I ditched that particular mount.

    Replacement for 2.5-8×36 Leupold?

    Used, but really like the nightforce NXS 2.5-10x32. Weight is low and illumination works well enough. SFP, but not a problem with a scope meant for hunting that maxes at 10x. In fact, I’d say I much prefer a SFP so I can see the reticle at 2.5x.

    NL Pure 12’s or 14’s

    Really debating this as well. Currently have 10x with a range finder and a kowa 773. Love the kowa, but realistically I don't need to carry it as even with both eyes open I don't like using it for searching. Have looked through the NL 8x32s are they are amazing for the field of view and...

    And the best stock IS…

    I have mine around 12lbs but I’m in CA so no silencer. Can drop a little but more when I finally get my pencil barrel on it. Ever manners I’ve ever tried has too longer of a reach for the trigger. Frustrating. How’s it compare to the revelation?

    And the best stock IS…

    Really like my foundation revelation. My one complaint is its weight, but currently like it enough to deal with it. They have a lighter weight stock but that moved the reach for the trigger about .25”. Small hands and short fingers and while I can shoot OK with other stocks the revelation just...

    DRT Terminal shock results on game

    Just ordered some 6mm 95gr. Online they said out of stock, but when I contacted them they had quite a few to box up. Should have seen if anybody else in CA wanted them as I'd have been happy to expand my order.

    Freet Impala - Zero Drop Hunting Boot

    How’s the toe box? I haven’t tried the vibe trackers, but wear their other shoes 90% of the time and love the extremely wide toe box.

    Random Safety Question Opinion

    Nothing should happen, but you have no idea if someone is going to draw. It’s not like drawing and releasing take a long time. To me it’s similar to a gun that’s unloaded being pointed behind the firing line. If their backs were to you, the concern is would the person draw at some point. You...
