    BX-4 Gen 2

    Took the gen 2's out for 10 days in Montana and Wyoming and had zero complaints. The different eye cups were a sweet option, makes extended glassing periods a lot more comfortable. As far as comparing my buddy's glass to mine, the gen 2's seem to have more clarity, and less strain on my eyes...

    Tricer bino adapter with BX-4

    Sorry I'm just now getting back to this but I've been super busy. The adapter sits about half an inch. I modeled a cover for it with a hole for some cordage to tie off to when not in use. I'm going to print some out of TPU and test them out on an elk hunt the 12th-22nd.

    Racoons on corn pile

    Fair enough, its been a few years since I've dealt with anything like that. But the sentiment remains that they might not be completely worthless.

    Racoons on corn pile

    If you can find a fur trader and get them to him before things start to stink some fur traders will buy a whole coon for 15 or 20 bucks. Not a lot of money but you kill enough of them and it pays for corn.

    Socks?

    I like thin socks pretty much year around. Recently I've been trying willowace, they're an alpaca, poly, nylon blend and they come in at a pretty good price point for performance socks. I've got a discount code if anybody is interested.

    Climber or hang on with sticks for beginner?

    I see the Hawk helium on camofire pretty regularly, I've never used one but have heard decent things. I have a climber and have used lock ons. It really just depends on the trees in the area I'm going to be hunting.

    Binos and rangefinder or bino/rangefinder combo?

    Quickly ranging an animal with one hand while holding a bow is far easier with a rangefinder than binoculars. That's a major benefit in my opinion. I can handle one extra pouch on my bino harness for the ability to comfortably/quickly range something with one hand.

    Gaining muscle for hunting?

    It is possible to be a great mountain hunter regardless of build, especially because there are a lot of different hunting styles out there. But adding a noticeable amount of muscle mass doesn't happen overnight, if you do even somewhat consistent cardio by the time you have lifted long enough...

    Fair enough, thanks for the feedback.

    Tricer bino adapter with BX-4

    I was thinking I could print a cap to cover the threads that wouldn't be as a rough on the inside of the harness for that reason. What makes the outdoorsman mount so much better? Other than pretty colors?

    Tricer bino adapter with BX-4

    Has anyone used the tricer bino adapter with 10x42 2nd gen BX-4s? Does the stud stick to far past the end of the binos to be able to leave it on when in a harness?

    Gaining muscle for hunting?

    Coming from the opposite end of the spectrum, right now I'm about 6' 250 and have always been stocky guy, even in the best shape of my life coming out of basic training I could run 8-10 miles but still weighed 210. Played football and power lifted growing up and have strength trained...

    BX-4 Gen 2

    I got 10x42 gen 2's this last weekend, haven't had any time to test them out yet but I can update as I get a little more time with them. I have a buddy that has gen 1s that I've used a handful of times so I'll try to put together a comparison.

    Zen bivy ultralight sheet with existing quilt ?

    Just a thought, quilts are great for allowing as much cool air in as you need to stay comfortable. With that in mind I would go as warm as possible, within cost and weight logic, on pad and sheet. In the event you need the added warmth you've already got it, whether a winter storm blows through...

    Necessity of Sleeping Pads

    Most of the time at the end of a long day of hunting I'm tired enough to ignore some extra noise, but its hard to sleep when you're shivering.

    Pack additions

    That's secure enough for me. If I'm running on a mountain bouncing isn't high on my concerns list. And I've gone down the sewing machine and gear modification rabbit hole on youtube, but as of yet I haven't convinced myself to pull the trigger so I'm safe on that regard.
