    Green Egg Style

    i had a Char grill akorn for 6 years. No performance issues but the bottom vent was rusting out, the the humidity and moisture did not help in South Florida. I sold it when I moved otherwise I would have kept the grill.

    Balancing sleep with time hunting

    My personal preference is to truck camp at the trailhead to maximize sleep and take an afternoon siesta, but I can rack out anywhere with no problem except hotels.

    Don't underestimate old guy strength

    I am 42, and I am definitely not as strong as I was in my late teens, 20s or early 30s. I work out consistently 3 to 5 days a week, but I go for more reps with a lower weight. It seems to help with all of the aches and pains. I can only imagine how my body will feel 20 to 30 years from now.

    I have a Browning Sweet 16 that went from my Great Uncle (whom I am named after) to my Father and now to me. I have it in my will that it will go to my son. My daughter and son can divy up the rest of the guns and gear however they see fit.

    Field Strip meals

    Others have said it but the biggest benefit to field stripping your meals for me is the space it frees up in your ruck. Even if you have the room, rucking is much easier if you have a compact ruck that is sitting high up on your back.

    Short quotes that speak volumes.

    “Reader, suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself.” “When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.”...
