Cheap Stuff that Works

[BLJ]

What’s the coolest one? Sun and heat about killed me today.

I’ve got a Roadbox and Willit I’m going to try this week.

Anything better than these?

I’m suspicious that they are all the same…..

Do these smell funky after a day of use?

It’s ok brand. But I find sleeves little shorter that need it. This one little better quality and better sizing

I've purchased them recently, haven't had a chance to run the thru the paces yet.

Noticed that as well. Found the same one here: https://www.alibaba.com/x/AzeYJc?ck=pdp it was titled the “sangmei outdoor camping tent ultralight mesh tent”. Seems like it should work well to keep the bugs and ticks away in a floor less tent or under a tarp

Stumbled on this and grabbed one, and I think its my favorite bino tripod adapter I've used yet...base is ARCA compatible, it locks and tightens down. And the price is right. Build quality is surprisingly good.

I like the Leofoto one, wider base, 1/4 20 hole for those odd adapter plates. BUT....its about double the Fanue price. You can routinely find them on Ebay for about $40-45 (Always drop 20% off price for the OBO listings)

Not sure if this has been posted, but tenacious tape works very well for field repairs. I fell on a scree pile in Idaho and ripped the back of my pants. Put some tenacious on, and its still on there working well. Also imagine it would be great for tents, sleeping bags, etc

Tenacious Tape
Luko Tape
Black Gorilla Duct Tape (1")

All 3 are afield necessities.

Roadbox did well today.

Heat index was 101 and I didn’t die. I’ll endorse it.

No.

But BASSDASH is another option, only because they use Micromesh panels in some models (More Breathable)

Ive used Baleaf, Bassdash, and a couple other amazon brands here in Iraq/Jordan. Aside from the Bassdash mesh panels, they all feel / work the same.

I can't speak to anything Costco, because the closest one to my home is 2 hrs away.

Anyone shot any big game with the AAC Sabre Blade Black Tip 140’s?

Willit did well to day too. Just as hot.

Also wanted to add these Columbia pants.
I’ve work them daily for about 5 weeks to work and everything else.
Tearing off and replacing a shingle roof this week without a mark on them.

The fit is a little less “athletic” than most.
If you have big legs they are worths look.
True to size for me too.

Looking for a 1/2 zip waterproof pullover.
Kinda anorak style. Lightweight and packable would be a big plus.

Thanks

I've got a packable northface i got from academy thats pretty light and is half zip with a hoodie pocket. Its pretty nice though im not sure how waterproof it truly is. It does well on windy/ light rain days.

I shoot hogs with the 150gr 308 and they do awesome.

I’d like waterproof. Like rain gear waterproof.
Should have been more clear. Thanks for the suggestion.
