    Colorado Springs food/fun

    Definitely hit up the incline coming from sealevel-ish that'll be a solid effort, imo plan on it taking at least four hours up and down, the trail down is quite a bit longer than it seems like it should be but that's just your brain messing with you. I also like the town of Manitou quite a bit...

    DIY gamebag fabric

    Yeah, the 1.6 HyperD is what I settled on as a great compromise between weight and durability hammocks too. I found 1.1 oz nylon way too fragile. I also sew some reflective tabs around the bag to make finding them easier at night. For closure I just make a rolled hem tube for some 3mm...

    Sewing Machine Reccomendations

    Those Rex machines are notoriously finicky and less well built than Thompsons or sailrites so if the shop can't help you might just cut bait

    Colorado corner crossing bill proposed

    One wonders at why Colorado voters chose to send only a tiny rump of republicans to the state house last year. Not. No bill can pass without democratic support. Regardless, Colorado has a uniquely receptive structure that creates a lot of disfunction but gives engaged citizens a huge voice...

    CO Goat Draw Odds

    I like to think of it like it's heartening that there's a bunch of huge points holders still not drawing but you see a couple of low point holders hitting it. Maybe those high point holders are just snakebit on the draw.

    Compact aftermarket lefty t3x stock?

    Hey all, one of my kids is a couple of years out from needing a rifle but shoots lefty, anyone got a line on a stock that is quite compact for the left hand tikkas? Ease of adding spacers would be nice too, he's pretty small. Or a built lefty compact from another mfg, perhaps. I run a Tikka...

    Best bang for the buck sewing machine

    A used straight stitch drop feed industrial is going to be the best bang for buck out there. I don't know any other thing where you can buy the full on pro version of a tool for less than the crap home version of the same tool. Add a brushless servo and needle positioning sensor ftw

    "Pre-gaming" for Altitude

    Last year I used dexamethasone which helped a ton. I'm very sensitive to altitude sickness and didn't have problem one last year using it, sleeping as high as 10.5

    CO 2nd Season Goat Gear

    Might be worth getting a couple of stand alone cf poles as well. 1 so you can leave the tent standing 2 so you can double up poles if the weather goes winter

    DIY game bags

    I think that the 34gsm is a bit too light... Admittedly I haven't used that specific fabric for anything. 1oz ripstop tears on bones very easily. I'd be a lot more tempted by their 66gsm fabric https://www.extremtextil.de/en/ripstop-nylon-hammock-nylon-70den-66g-sqm-impregnated.html I also...

    It's Time For Something Better Than Wiggy Waders

    I've been chewing around this basic problem for a couple of years but have a verrrry slow dev cycle. Here are some pictures of my current version which is all 1.1 silpoly. Sorry you'll have to scroll down a little ways Those are straight stocking foot style for my extended death march jump...

    Hard Shell Options

    My wind shirt fleet currently consists of a couple of myog ones made from 1.1oz uncalendered ripstopbytheroll polyester, which is at the very breathable end of the spectrum but not particularly water resistant at all Pics of my camo one

    Colorado Cat hunting ban Bill

    Just FYI - if you want to increase your effectiveness in CO lobbying, please contact the reps on the committees that a bill gets assigned to first. Unless your rep is on that committee, they won't be able to do much. But the committee members themselves are used to and appreciate peeps from...

    Hard Shell Options

    Regardless of where you land on a hardshell, you're missing out on a killer CO layer not having a really breathable windshirt. I always pack one and a raincoat. A hard shell is only useful as a wind shirt in conditions way beyond what a wind shirt is good for. Any time you're moving and working...

    DIY pulk / game cart?

    Not precisely what you seem to be after but here is my v2.0 meat sled. It's 1/2yd of venom 3.9oz from rbtr, v1 used 1/2yd of HyperD 300 and then a sheet of uhmwe adhesive film from McMaster Carr. This is the .012" my first one used .007" at first but that was way too thin and I ended up sleeping...
