    Need a new truck, what’s good?

    I don't think that's true. Every warranty I've ever seen has been to a specified mileage or time since initial delivery. Not additive based on when you buy it.

    Need a new truck, what’s good?

    Something along those lines, but I think it's 200K miles for the latest model of the engine. Roughly $5K in parts and labor from what I've seen. If I'm keeping the truck that long and not trading it in, I'd be okay spending that after that long. Realistically, I'm probably trading it in on...

    Need a new truck, what’s good?

    I have one of these being built soon and delivered probably in August. Crew Cab, Standard Bed, AT4, 3.0 Diesel. Going to throw a Smartcap on it. I'm fully aware there's a little bit of a crap shoot with diesels compared to more tried and true gas powertrains (although, there are plenty of...

    Has Anyone Made a Good Homemade Protein Bar?

    If you're talking at home, I do a scoop of protein 1-2x a day. I don't enjoy the taste either, but it's down the hatch fast enough that it doesn't matter. I have a dedicated nalgene for just this. Gold standard Chocolate Whey in the big 5# bags from Costco. I buy family packs of chicken...

    New ways to break your Hoyt...

    Old thread here, but I'll relay my experience. Hoyt required the bow to be sent back. They would NOT provide the part or sell separately to the dealer, period. No negotiation. I ended up buying another bow while that was in transit, then selling extras after the season. I'm in the camp...

    Hurricane Utah camping?

    I was just there Mountain Biking for a weekend instead of getting stuck in Vegas, and as you leave town towards Apple Valley, there were a bunch of people with their campers, vans, trailers ALL OVER the place on the roads / trails through the sage to your left. It's called Hurricane Cliffs...

    Sold Seek Outside 12/8 Man Tipi

    Still have this, feeling motivated to get it out of here before the end of the year, so new price listed in the post, and shipping now included.

    Still have this - may be willing to make a deal if I can get it sold before end of the year.

    What’s a fair ask to sell my diesel truck?

    Hell, I'd pay to have it detailed, maybe a couple dents taken out, and list it for $35K. Wouldn't be surprised at all if you get it.

    How long do you ice age?

    Been using coolers with ice for years for aging, but also mostly until I can just get the buck / bull processed. I've been good up to two weeks. I don't have access to refrigerator / cooler / hanging space unless the weather's cold. I leave the drain open so there's no soaking in water...

    Knife sharpening

    100% Depends. First, what's your budget, how much time do you want to spend, and how picky are you? I've gotten a decent working blade with a kitchen aid on knives I'm not super concerned about. Worksharp works pretty good. Would probably be my recommendation for something inexpensive...

    1 Bullet for Western Hunting

    None of the above. Mine would be a 215 Berger for a 300 (First choice), 156 Berger if I was going to use a 6.5

    Thoughts on KUIU Waders?

    Not Kuiu, but I paid retail price for my Sitka Zip Front Waders and I'd do it again in a heartbeat, they might be the piece of gear I own I regret the absolute least. There are times when expensive gear really is worth it, staying warm and comfortable in late season waterfowl hunts is worth...

    Truck / SUV suited for Snowy Icy Roads

    I've driven many cars in snow with and without snow tires, and a handful of subarus (Former ski racer and ski coach skiing 50-100 days a year at the time). Barring any issue in the suspension or alignment, they were ALL way better than trucks / SUVs. The weight just isn't an advantage and...

    Truck / SUV suited for Snowy Icy Roads

    If you're talking vehicles: Subaru with snow tires. Seriously. My WRX was way better than any truck or SUV I've ever come across, and I've done a LOT of snow driving. Beyond that, just get good snow tires. That's the biggest differentiator in snow / icy conditions.

    Definitive Freezer Size Thread

    I won't say definitive, because this dead horse has been beaten before. I have both a chest and an upright, definitely prefer the upright. Just build / buy the appropriate size slide out bins / boxes for your shelves, and then nothing's falling out and it's much easier to get to what you...
