    Securing long gun to pack for walk-in

    Those of you who have your rifle or shotgun on your pack rather than on a sling, whether it's backcountry hiking or a shorter walk in, how do you handle it? I reckon it wouldn't be too hard to lash a rifle to a backpacking pack with extra straps and whatnot, and I think some purpose built packs...

    What lens to get?

    An 18-55 kit lens will suit you just fine to get started in all likelihood, but maybe consider the 50mm f1.8 is handy for shooting in low light, say at the dinner table after dark or other indoor situations as well as a nice light lens to just walk around with. They're pretty ubiquitous and...

    Adding volume to insoles

    A tip I once got is to consider filling volume on top of the foot if you can't get the insole shimmed how you want it. I used a cheap mouse pad as material in an old pair of hiking boots like this and although it's kind of a pain to put on and get them situated sometimes, it felt pretty good and...
