    Peax solitude for 3 guys with a stove?

    It is though. I've spent literally hundreds of days out where I had to dry firewood. Put it on top of the stove until dry and then store it under a tarp.

    Peax solitude for 3 guys with a stove?

    A 5 oz tarp is an easy way to avoid storing your firewood in the tent.

    How to balance a Swarovski ATX with 115mm lens

    This is literally why they make balance rails. Get one and move on.

    Video, new Swaro spotters.

    I've got a Kowa TSN-553 and a Swaro ATX 65/95. I'd love to get my hands on one of these and see if it's an upgrade to the Kowa or not and possibly replace both it and possibly my 65 mm ATX. It does look like there's a little bit of a weight penalty between compared to the Kowa though.

    Looking for Swaro NL Pure 10 Owner Feedback

    The 10's are where it's at IMO. . Once you start using those every other binocular I've tried since feels like you have tunnel vision. I can't imagine wanting more magnification in a general purpose bino. The ability to use them one handed, especially during archery, for a quick glance is a huge...

    Carbon Fiber Outdoorsmans Tripod?

    I think if you look at the picture closer you'll see it's a piece of carbon fiber tubing.

    Carbon Fiber Outdoorsmans Tripod?

    Based on the ad in the current edition of Western Hunter, I'd say it's pretty safe to say we're going to see a carbon fiber tripod from Outdoorsmans in the next month or so. Does anyone have any details or specs?

    Rifle scope in place of a spotting scope?

    If you actually believe I haven't been explicit about my position on this, then that speaks volumes about your intelligence.

    Rifle scope in place of a spotting scope?

    I honestly can't figure out which part of that you're struggling to understand. It's pretty straight forward. It's even more clear when you read what was written in its entirety.

    Rifle scope in place of a spotting scope?

    I don't know where you think I reiterated anything you said, but I assure you you're mistaken. I think the differences I laid out about dry firing are pretty well laid out so I'll assume you're talking about aiming at animals you don't intend to shoot. At no point did I say it was a problem to...

    Rifle scope in place of a spotting scope?

    With all due respect I think that's a bad take. First, when practicing dry firing it is pretty much standard to do so with no ammunition anywhere in sight. Also, it is done in a controlled environment without the adrenine and constantly changing circumstances that happen while hunting. And while...

    Rifle scope in place of a spotting scope?

    It takes some serious mental gymnastics to think not using your riflescope to identify game is virtue signaling. You keep doing you though.

    Rifle scope in place of a spotting scope?

    Nobody said taking an animal while another one is in your sight picture is unethical. Deliberately aiming a gun at something you don't know is legal is. Keep trying to find technicalities for why you can violate basic firearm safety rules that a 12 year old understands. It says everything I need...

    Rifle scope in place of a spotting scope?

    If you're really going to try to equate a potential self defense situation to what is being discussed then you clearly are not worth having the conversation with. You continue aiming your rifle at animals you don't have tags for though. I, on the other hand, will continue to act ethically.

    Rifle scope in place of a spotting scope?

    You are advocating using a riflescope to identify whether what you're aiming at is in fact legal to shoot and I'm insane? You need help. And I'd venture to guess I've taken far more animals than most on here BTW.

    Rifle scope in place of a spotting scope?

    That is exactly what I'm saying. If you are aiming at an animal that you are unsure you can legally tag you are in the wrong. This is literally taught in every gun safety course. "Never point the gun at anything you don't intend to destroy" and "be sure of your target and what is beyond it". We...

    Rifle scope in place of a spotting scope?

    That's not even close to what I said. What I said is that you have no business aiming your rifle at any animal that you haven't already determined is legal to harvest.

    Help! Zeiss Conquest 10x42 Broken Tripod Cap

    I just removed mine the other day. Mine are from 2014 and you have to drill the center of the cap and then remove the cap with a small needle nose or similar. I wonder if you could do the same. There's a thread about it half way down the 2nd page of the optics forum.
