I went through a few pairs of high end boots thinking it was a boot problem, before I saw a podiatrist and found out I had metatarsalgia. I got some custom orthotics through him, that were quite expensive, $500ish. They worked, but were bulky and would only fit in certain shoes and boots...
The Neutrino is definitely a step up in warmth from the Grumman, and a tougher fabric, I'd say probably too warm for early season depending where you hunt. Great late season/winter piece though.
I got a butler creek flip up that works well for the eyepiece, according to order details it's the size 39-40.
I'd like to find something better for the objective lens. I read on here that the Polar Pro Defender 77-82mm lens cover would work, but it doesn't fit at all.
I'd be interested to...
I own an 8 man and my hunting partner a redcliff. If you're planning on packing it on your back, I'd go redcliff. I'm 6'2 and felt there was enough room to stand and put your pants on etc. Youre pretty tight to the pole but its manageable. It's plenty comfortable with two sleeping on the ground...
Not sure what you guys ordered, but I placed my order March 16th, for a flat grind stainless #1 with black micarta scales, with the 3A sheath with the flap, and it was delivered today, within Canada. Hopefully things are moving over there now.
Perfect thank you! Disappointing to hear they all leak considering they arent cheap, but using frozen water bottles and lining it with a contractor bag should mitigate that. A 60ish qt hard side for camp food and trailhead beverages, and some frozen bottles, and a fish kill bag or two for the...
Anyone ever used those soft sided fish cooler bags for quartered or boned out meat? Looks like they're a good shape for it.
I wouldn't expect them to hold ice for long, but I'm thinking you could keep some block ice or frozen water bottles in a smaller cooler, and throw them in the fish bags...
Thanks, good to know compared to the HGs. I was thinking I'd just get a set of the HG in 10x, but with the price of the SFLs, and the ELs coming down, I figured it would be worth looking into an upgrade.
I had them both a 5-6 years ago, so I can't say anything specific, but I recall them being...
Fantastic, thank you. I figured as far as glass goes, the ELs would probably be better, at least on paper. All those other things are what I was curious about.
I'd like to hear some thoughts as well. I've got an SO 8man, but the sloped walls and round footprint eliminates so much usable space, the silnylon sags a lot in rain or snow and absorbs a ton of moisture, the liners eat up even more space if you hang them loose enough to be useful, and if you...
Anyone know what size the side pocket is going to be? I tried rigging up one of their large belt pouches to my current harness, and found it was too big and bulky, mostly too deep front to back. The regular size belt pocket is a much better fit, but a bit too short to fit my phone. Perhaps the...
Thanks for that. Good to know on the eye cups, I got rid of a pair of Maven B2s, in part because the eye up adjustments weren't very solid, and I found it quite annoying, and in part because they were pretty bulky and heavy. The MHG has fairly solid eyecup adjustments, and is super light and...
Of course ideally I'd find a shop to compare both side by side, but until then, does anyone have any experience looking through swaro EL 10x42s, and zeiss SFL 10x40s, and have any thoughts on both?
I currently have a pair of nikon monarch HG 8x42s, and quite like them. I'm looking at getting a...
Searching 'Canada' within the thread didn't turn up a definitive answer. Any idea if we'll be able to get them up here through UM? Or another method? Currently no shipping options outside the US on the UM website. It would be nice to get a set of rings along with it.
