    2500 class truck

    Just rolled over 200k on my 17 Cummins 2500. I purchased it with 101k on it in February 21. I can say that this truck has been the most reliable vehicle I’ve owned. I’ve replaced brakes and tires once, a transmission pan gasket if I remember right (shortly after I bought it) and that’s been the...

    Getting that 100lb pack from the ground onto your back

    I've set my pack against a tree and then will sit down into the straps. Loosely fastening the hip belt and then work my way into a standing position then it's same as always. Making sure your not making quick jerky movements is critical so that your not allowing the weight to swing. Starting out...

    Canada's Trudeau set to resign any day as Finance Minister resigns

    It's not just Canada feeling the pressure as Germany also had a no confidence vote on their left leaning Chancellor. It's an interesting time in world politics and also indictive proof that we've all been force feed a narrative world wide and people are finally pushing back.

    Satellite communicators worth the cost?

    There’s no arguing that the apple sat messaging is the fastest out there from what I’ve experienced. The issue for me is when it’s not connected to the sat. Did your phone still send and receive when not physically turning your phone to connect? My ZOLEO also did better in tree cover then what...

    Your shoulder mounts

    Congrats on a great buck. My one word of caution when it comes to taxidermy is find someone who you have been able to see their work first hand. My first go with a shoulder mount was less then ideal, and while relatively happy with the end result my most recent mount puts it to shame and shows a...

    Flashlights - SureFire, Malkoff, SkyLumen, etc.

    I've always been a streamlight or surefire guy for my handhelds. Switched to a Fenix PD36R and absolutely love it. It's bright when I need it and will make my back yard look like daytime, but for most times I am able to use it on one of the lower settings. I'm also not chewing through batteries...

    Satellite communicators worth the cost?

    I've tried the Apple messaging and like it, but it's not as smooth or consistent as a Zoleo (which I have) or Garmin. My biggest issue with the Apple sat messaging is having to remain connected. Meaning I can't just send a message, put away my phone and allow the device to get it out and also...

    Browning sleeping bags

    For affordable bags I have a hard time not recommending the Black Ovis bags. On sale they are around $130. they aren't as light as a true down bag nor compress as well, but they don't pretend to be either and fill a spot for a relatively cheap bag that could be used for road or backpacking. Even...

    Traditional vs Elope

    Our wedding didn't cost much and was "affordable" at the time. Neither of us had much money when we jumped into it,14 years later and 4 kids we're still going at it. Our kids were just looking through the picture slides the other week and enjoyed seeing them particularly our daughter. After...

    Satellite communicators worth the cost?

    Dude that’s a hell of a story and glad to hear you made it out. I understand that thousands have done it before and survived, but why some still don’t use it is beyond me. The sos feature particularly when you have a family provides a sense of security for them.

    2500 class truck

    The difference between older 2500's and newer 2500's (Minus Ram) is that Ford and Chevy are now rating their 3/4 tons at 11k GVWR increasing the payload capacity compared to how they where all rated at 10k limiting the payload especially with a diesel motor. The comical part is that most have...

    AZFG restricting Crossbows

    I see this as a trend moving forward in other states. I don't believe most people have any issue with the crossbows being used to take game, the issue lies in when it's allowed to be used. The argument between compounds and crossbows being similar is utterly ridiculous and anyone who looks at it...

    2500 class truck

    I have a 17 Ram 2500 with the 6.7L cummins. It's "missing" some parts but the truck runs fantastic and hasn't given much much issues other then a few leaks. I purchased the truck with 100k on it in February '21 and am now getting ready to roll over 200k. My only complaint with the 2500 rams are...

    Football fans???

    At least they aren't a Dallas fan. This year has been absolutely brutal and unfortunately due to getting destroyed by injuries I picture Jerry Jones being too stubborn to let McCarthy go and they bring him back for another year of disappointment. Granted every year is a disappointment when Jones...

    AR SBR build

    I'm not a lawyer, just how I've always understood it. I see what your saying though about the date aspect of it. One could argue that when I've filled it out for the entire year in the past it was filled out incorrectly and I should have had a narrower date range. Unfortunately the SBR aspect...

    AR SBR build

    Concerning swapping from SBR to pistol etc. Once the lower is registered as an SBR it is always an SBR (ie Rifle). It doesn't matter what is attached to the stock or honestly barrel end as the lower is the firearm. Putting a pistol brace on that specific lower will not make it a pistol and legal...

    AR SBR build

    I ended up with an 8.5” 300 blackout. From the research I had done 14 years ago the supers outperformed the 5.56 in a similar barrel length. With that said I have no desire to hunt with subs and a 110/125gr does a fantastic job at the velocities you can get out of a 300 blk in an 8.5” barrel...

    Tracking whitetail

    If he allowed both you and your dog that close he’s hurt. He may be dead this morning, but as stated above be prepared to put another bolt in him to finish him off.

    Satellite communicators worth the cost?

    The ZOLEO and Inreach while needing dedicated apps work seamlessly unlike the iPhone sat messaging in my experience. The iPhone requires you to ensure your phone is connected to the sat while in use. This means stopping what you’re doing allowing the device to locate and then transmit. You won’t...

    Help needed with Whitetail Bowhunting Outer Layer (Alternative to Fanatic)

    I have the Kryptek Njord. Extremely warm jacket. Stops the wind but not something I want to be doing a lot of hiking around in due to overheating. The pit zips help but not enough with high output. My only gripe is that there is no hood, but that’s what the base, mid, and winter cap are for...
