    Small space work bench

    It all depends on how you intend to use it. I like to sit comfortably on a stool while reloading, with my knees under the bench. Many people like to stand while working the press. In that case knee space is not needed. The Yukon Hardwood bench seems like a better starting point to me than...

    Tripod Cant

    TetonRecon, I know this is a relatively old thread, but you're experiences and recommendations are the best I've come across for someone, like myself, trying to figure out a reasonable yet not terribly expensive system that can work for both glassing and shooting. I'm purchasing the VA-5 head...

    POS Leuplold…

    Where's the best place to sell a lightly used Leupold VX-5HD 3-15x44 scope and get maximum price? I suspect that Rokslide is not that place. I'm thinking of placing mine up for sale and getting another Trijicon Tenmile. Ebay?

    What Did You Do With Your Old CDs?

    I still purchase CDs, although I don't really listen to music while driving. Yet, I have a high end home stereo system and a stand-alone CD play at home and I prefer the CD audio quality over MP3 or other condensed audio formats.

    Slide in Campers

    Agreed that it is not a good investment to get a Palamino. Other hard sides (Arctic Fox, Bigfoot, Cirrus, Lance, etc) are not "investments" either, but hold their value better and provide a decade or more of usefulness. If you want to travel freely and make base camp virtually anywhere...

    Slide in Campers

    Several people have mentioned that they prefer hard sided truck campers with slide outs. I purposefully avoided slide outs for the following reasons. Better insulation: The slide outs are prone to leak air when out. I wanted my four season to be as sealed as possible for cold weather...

    Big Bend Float Trip

    I was in Big Bend last week, but didn't do anything on the river. People were talking about having to portage due to low water levels. Call a couple of the outfitters in Terlingua or Study-Butte.

    Questions About SW Colorado Vacation Plans

    Perhaps the other dishes aren't good. I only had the gumbo and that was a solid choice.

    Questions About SW Colorado Vacation Plans

    Deflating your tires to 16 psi (no lower) will certainly help comfort on the Alpine Loop,. There's a good gas station in Silverton that provides free air, so you can air back up again. The Lost Cajun in Pagosa Springs is really good. They have some of the best gumbo I've had, and I grew up in...

    6.5mm Hornady ELD-VT (Varmint) Bullets are Available

    At Brownells. I'd bet that other suppliers are soon to receive them too.

    Starting point for 6.5CM

    This may help on comparing cost savings. I can load at about $1.00 per round, plus my time.

    Have any of you thought who gets your stuff. Or do they even want it

    I'm of the opinion that very few of my "heirlooms" will be valued or wanted by my daughters when I pass. My will directs that all of my belongings be sold, put into a trust, and divided out to them over a number of years. If they truly want something of mine, they can buy it from the estate...

    Reloading supplies Storage

    You'll be fine to store in your garage without any other preparations beyond keeping the powder sealed in original containers, and possibly taking an extra precautionary step of keeping the primers in plastic food storage containers. Extreme seasonal temperature swings are not an issue as long...

    Weather Station ideas?

    Davis Vantage Pro 2. I like the direct wired version rather than the wireless version. I never have to worry about batteries, it's just a bit more tedious to get set up. Here's my weather website. It updates every 5 minutes. http://www.tesuqueweather.com/

    Leather belt recommendation for daily use and concealed carry?

    I agree with Beltman. I have two belts which are the only ones that I wear. One of them is over 15 years old, the other is about 10 years old. Black and Brown.

    Amber vs Clear Truck LED Auxiliary Lights

    OK. Judge for yourself and make your own choices. If you want a $1M trophy truck lighting system then go ahead and get what's brilliant and newly cool, and spend lots of money. It seems that you have your decisions made. Just increasing lumens or lamp Kelvin to the limits of what is legal in...

    Amber vs Clear Truck LED Auxiliary Lights

    Send an email to Daniel Stern who was mentioned in the first reply that you received. He'll get you set perfectly. I'm sure that he'll steer you away from amber "fog" lights. I highly recommend that you reach out to him.
