    Need input on training routine ???????

    All weight training, in my opinion, should be done with lower rep range, you want to gain strength so lift to gain strength. Cut out the long runs unless you want to train for a long run race. With longer runs you will loose some of that much valued muscle mass. Cortisol is a stress hormone that...

    i have a Hilleberg and love it. A double wall tent is amazingly warm and doesn't condensate if you vent properly. I would buy another in a heart beat

    Kowa or Swaro

    I did a side by side comparison of the Swaro 65 and the Kowa 773. I will say at this point I was more likely to buy the Swaro due to it's reputation. Both where really the same until the last mins of shooting light. The Kowa is remarkably brighter and clearer. Our viewing was the neighbours...

    Stove in a Hilleberg?

    If you are getting a deal on the hilly, then jump on that regardless. We use the Nallo 2GT - love it and wish I would've spent the $$ years ago. When you start to use a quality piece of gear you kinda kick yourself to not buying it earlier. It does hold the heat surprisingly well. I wouldn't...

    "Sahale" - Video of ShaneVG's 2014 Alpine Blacktail - 132-7/8"

    Awesome story and great footage. I'm sorry for your past lost. Remember that God's plans for us and our family's far far extend what we think or can comprehend. I love your story and feel the same when I venture into the mountains. My grandmother always quoted proverbs 3:5-6. I think it fits

    Daypack/Expedition pack or just Expedition pack?

    Always carry a pack the will be able to bring out what you are hunting! Most packs compress down and cinch up so they really aren't bulky. As others have said be choosing on what u pack for the day - spotter and tripod don't fit in a fanny. IMO keep the day pack at home. In fact I never use one...

    Body Fat %

    A ton of great advise. Clearly there are many contributing here that have a real background in sport and nutrition. However what works for one person, won't work for someone else. When one is trying to cut down to those sub 10% zones your nutrition and workout routines are ever important and...

    Body Fat %

    Brock A I totally get your desire and goals. I have now hit my 9-10% bf goal. I lost 30 lbs thru diet and lots of cardio style work outs. And now I am gaining weight back as lean muscle as I do my resistance training with free weights. What I am finding is that I still am very slowly cutting...

    Good boot fitter in Denver area?

    I have had the same issues of narrow heels and boot fitting. What I found worked for me was a pair of Meindl's. Not the Cabela's variety but the rear deal, I was fitted in the store and added some heel lift shims. Now good as gold! They are very stiff booats and take a lot to break in, my feet...
