    plantar fasciitis, the last 10%

    I have to recommend the "Foot Log" (can find it on Amazon.) Seemed to really help with breaking up the scar tissue in my heel and loosening up my feet after battling PF for a long time.

    Peak Designs camera clip

    tmwtrfwler I had the same concern about bringing my DSLR elk hunting this past season. I decided to bring just my Nikon D3200 w/the 18-55mm kit lens. I think this setup is around 26 oz. Was really happy to have it on the trip. And long story short; I'll definitely be lugging the extra weight...

    What lens sizes to bring hunting?

    I'm using a crop sensor camera like the original poster, and have been pretty happy with the trophy shots I'm getting using the kit 18-55 lens set at 18mm. You still get that nice wide angle perspective without completely distorting everything like an ultra-wide or fisheye lens would. This is...

    Posting a picture from Dropbox?

    What is the best way to post a picture so it shows up without having to click on a link or thumbnail? I tried using the "Insert Image" button and pasting a URL from Dropbox without any luck. Any help would be appreciated.

    Plantar Fasciitis Steroid Injection

    This issue hits home with me too. One thing I found through my research is if you've had Plantar Fasciitis for more than about 6 months (which I did), the amount of scar tissue buildup in your heel starts to make things even worse. And your problem can turn into Plantar Fasciosis actually...

    Waterproofing Lowa Hunters?

    I've been getting a new pair of Lowa Hunters broken in for this fall. Would like to get them waterproofed/waxed. I have a can of Obenauf's sitting around that I've always used on my Meindls. Is that OK to use, or have people had better luck with a different product?

    Search and Rescue Insurance?

    I'm planning to hunt elk in Colorado this fall and I was told by a friend that I should look into some kind of search and rescue insurance coverage in case of injury while in the mountains. Do most guys buy some kind of policy to cover search and rescue costs such as needing a helicopter ride...

    Post up your Camera Gear

    If anyone's found the "perfect" way to carry a DSLR on their backpack and still have quick access to it, I'd love to hear your thoughts. Not sure I'm quite ready to bump up from my little point and shoot.

    2017 CO Early Rifle Deer Hunt - Opinions

    What are people's thoughts on the timing of the early rifle seasons? It looks like some of the units open around Sep. 3rd. Can you expect these high country bucks to still be hanging out in their summer locations the first week of Sep? Or do they tend to head down and bury themselves in the...

    2017 CO Early Rifle Deer Hunt - Opinions

    I'd love to hear some opinions on doing an early rifle deer hunt in CO next year. I'll only have 2 preference points going into the draw, so I won't be looking at any of the high end units of course. But it looks like I would be able to draw some of the high country above timberline hunts with...

    Carrying rangefinder w/ Alaska Guide Creation KISS?

    Great info so far! So how big of a deal is it to have the front pocket sticking out farther away from your body on the Kodiak C.U.B.? I like keeping things as streamlined as possible, but I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts on running the C.U.B. v.s. the KISS w/ a separate rangefinder case on...

    Carrying rangefinder w/ Alaska Guide Creation KISS?

    Thanks Cub10. Is the Max Pocket big enough to fit your rangefinder in? Or is that just a small space for calls, etc?

    Carrying rangefinder w/ Alaska Guide Creation KISS?

    I'd really like to try one of Alaska Guide Creations bino packs. But I'm having trouble deciding between the KISS and C.U.B. models for my Nikon 10 x 42's. Could I carry my Nikon Rifle Hunter 1000 rangefinder in the lower Max Pocket on the KISS? Or am I better off just carrying the...

    Prana Zion deal alert

    Regarding the sizing of Prana Zion pants; Wanted to share my experience for your guys' reference. I got my first pair of these a year or two ago that were size Medium x 30. And they fit my 5' 8" 165 lb average build perfect. They've since changed the sizing and design of these pants. I ended...

    Packing extra broadheads into the backcountry

    So what system has everyone had good luck with for bringing spare broadheads with them on a backpack hunt? Do you match up complete broadheads and arrows, spin test, and number them all so you make sure to have a winning combo? To save on space, I was thinking it might be nice to just cram a...

    Trekking pole baskets...on or off?

    Wow, lots of great feedback. Sounds like I might as well plan to just leave the baskets on for the most part.

    Trekking pole baskets...on or off?

    Just picked up my first pair of trekking poles. Never used them before, so I'm wondering if most guys leave the baskets on or pop them off?

    Tripod... Best bang for the buck?

    I don't have any experience comparing to the high end tripods, but I've been pretty happy with my Slik Sprint Pro EZ.
