    Different ideas?

    I don't mean this as either is wrong... But do you enjoy different ideas and perspectives, or prefer to be surrounded by people who share the ideas you have? This was particularly inspired by the JRE/Cam/Rinella thread... Personally, I'm pretty conservative in my thoughts/behavior. I enjoy...

    Shower with body jets?

    So we're about to make a major mast bath upgrade... Gonna take my office that is just used for piling gear up and displaying show posters into a great master bath instead of the small half bath we have now. My big question is body jets in the shower. How many of y'all have them, and use them...

    How useful would your OnX waypoints be to a stranger?

    I mark a lot of stuff that I find interesting, and label things in a way that would mostly make sense to me. Plus I use it camping, hiking, and fishing. Where I saw an elk trout fishing in May isn't probably helping the algorithms. Lol But I found it interesting.

    Do you keep your vehicle clean?

    I park in my shop, so all the trash comes out of the truck every time I come home, or buy fuel. Whichever comes first. Washed at least once a week. Windows cleaned a little more. Dash wiped down and floors vaccumed about once a week, unless they get dirty before. Do you stay on top of it?

    Closest you've been to a Brown Bear?

    What's the closest you've been to a Brown Bear? Last year in Glaicer NP the wife and I had one walk down the trail towards us. Peeled off about 10 yards in front of us, passed by about 10-15 feet away. Didn't have a gun because we drove through Canada on that trip. Didn't use the bear spray...

    Nassau Bahamas fishing?

    So I've managed to wind up with a trip to the Bahamas from Dec 1- Jan 6... Working, but just a regular 40 hour week. So plenty of time to do other stuff. I'll pack an 8wt, but was also planning on booking a guide for bonefish at least once while I'm down there. Any experience with guides out...

    Shopping Local...

    I've seen a number of comments lately about not buying online and shopping local. I agree with the sentiment, I shop local, and locally owned as much as possible. To the point it sometimes frustrates my wife. I won't go to Target or Walmart, won't hardly go to chain restaurants. Prefer to buy...

    Yeti Gobox, or similar?

    Any of y'all use something like this at basecamp? Not just Yeti, but something sturdier/more waterproof than the Action Packers and Plano lockers. I'm hard on stuff, and prone to leaving it outside/in the truck bed. I have a bunch of Miluwakee Packout boxes, there's one I've tried several...

    Songs about hunting...

    Turnpike's song The Bird Hunters isn't about hunting... But I met the Army Ranger from this song in the bar with them.

    Vehicle Window Tint

    So... There was a thread on another forum, and apparently more people than I thought have very strong opinions on window tint... I've always had the front side windows match the glass on the rear. Plus the last few trucks got a pretty low eyebrow, the same darkness. Usually around 20% This...

    Bergara B14 HMR Stock...

    So, I'm not a big "gun guy", but as a hunter I obviously own some. A while back I decided that the Rem700 I got for an antelope trip was gonna stick around, got a Timeny trigger, decent scope, and I've been half shopping for a stock and mag conversion. Good friend has a B14 HMR he's about to...

    DIY instant coffee?

    Have any of y'all made your own instant coffee like the Starbucks via/BRCC pouches? It seems like you could just pulverize beans with a blade grinder... Just curious if there was more to it.

    Local shop?

    So we have a local specialty gear shop. They stock Sitka, Filson, Orvis, Garmin, Benchmade, etc. If they carry or can get something that I'm looking for, I get it from them. Even if I may have shopped for other comperable options, I get what they have. Do you have a local specialty shop? Do...

    Third Vehicle?

    The wife and I are kicking around the idea of buying a third vehicle... I run a detail carpentry/construction managing business out of my highly modified F-250 (p-pump 24v Cummins with a fair bit of aftermarket stuff, a ton of sound deadening and stereo equipment, etc), and she drives a Subaru...

    Trigger Job or Aftermarket Trigger?

    So, I've got a Remington 700 with the x mark trigger. It's good (to my hand), but not great. I'm going to spend a little money on the rifle and was planning on having a local smith who has a great reputation work over the trigger. It's going to cost me a little less than half of what an...

    Hunting only, or general fun?

    Ok, so obviously I hunt because I enjoy it. The outdoors, the solitude, the camp. But when I travel more than an hour or so to hunt, it's about the trip as a whole... A detour to see something else cool, an extra day or two to explore somewhere. Maybe just a dinner in a different town...

    Dumb Wyoming Application question...

    So, a buddy and I are applying for Wyoming (antelope), wanting to apply as a party. Non resident. All I can find in their website on how to apply as a party is to be sure and have the party number. I can't figure out how to actually obtain it though! It's maddening, I've figured out draw...

    What if...

    So much of the conversation about hunting is the focus on R3, preserving rights, etc... But why? If in 100-200 years hunting had faded away NOT because of governmental regulations, loss of access, social pressure etc... Generations just faded away from engaging in it for whatever reason. Life...
