    Fish cooler bags for quarters?

    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...

    EL 10x42 vs SFL 10x40

    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...

    Talley or DNZ height for Leupold 36mm on Savage?

    I've got a Savage model 11 lightweight hunter in 7mm-08 coming in, that I'll be mounting a Leupold VX3i 2-8x36mm on, but I'm not sure which rings to get. Anyone know if I can get away with the Talley lightweights in extra-low with the 36mm scope? On second look, DNZ doesn't offer an extra-low...

    Impact and numbness on balls of feel/big toe-Lowa Tibets

    I've got a pair of Lowa Tibet GTX's, and generally speaking, I feel they fit me pretty great. I don't get any blisters or hotspots, though that said I usually pre-tape my heels with Leukotape before any extended wear, mostly out of habit as I did it during the break in period. I had the same...

    Rain wrap/skirt/kilts

    Anyone ever used a rain wrap from some of the UL companies in lieu of rain pants? I always have my gaiters with me that come up to just below my knees, and a rain wrap would come down to about the top of them. They seem pretty popular in the UL backpacking world. I'm interested in the weight...

    Vanguard Endeavor HD 65 vs. Celestron Regal M2 65ED Overview

    Disclaimer: I'm about as far from an optics expert as it gets. These are the only two spotters I've ever looked through. My only other optics experience is a pair of 10x42 Bushnell Excursion EX binos that I really like, that are probably around 7 years old now, and a pair of 10x42 Zenray Prime...

    Beginner reloader, your top two 7mmRM powders?

    So, I'm looking to work up a good all around load for my 7mm Rem Mag. I've got some TSX's and Accubonds, both in 160gr waiting to try out, but need some powder, and some primers. If you were to recommend two powders to start with, what would they be? I'm leaning towards IMR4350 and IMR7828, or...

    Neewer/Q-666C carbon fiber tripods on amazon?

    Has anyone used these budget carbon fiber tripods from amazon? Looks like they're offered under a few different brand names but are the same item. I'll be putting a Vanguard ph-113v panhead on it so I don't care about the ball head that comes with them. Load rating is supposedly 26lbs, the...

    Quality monocular?

    A bit of background information to start things off as to why I'm looking for a monocular, rather than binos. I developed a nerve palsy in my left eye a little over a year ago, and because of this, I get double vision all the time. Luckily I'm right eye dominant, and my right eye is unaffected...

    Scarpa break in and creaky leather/laces?

    Hey folks, I purchased a pair of Scarpa SL Active boots in preparation for the upcoming hunting season, and I've been out a couple times after work to get them broken in and ready. Now I've only got about 6-7 hours of hiking in them(not sure of mileage), so I don't expect them to be broken in...

    New Hunter in SW BC

    Hey all, New to hunting, living just outside of Vancouver BC. Getting a late start(25), as no one in my family hunts. I'm finally in a position that I can take some time off in the fall and get out with a couple of friends this year. Can't wait to get out for any style of hunt, but dream of...
