Bought a pair of boots in my size but those dang Italian boot makers are so vain, they make all their sizes just a bit small. It's a chick thing too. Anyway, sold them for a $25 loss.
This website has cost me a retirement. I will now be able to retire in like never due to the elk infection I have caught from this site. I have come to the conclusion that this disease is incurable and to tell you the truth I'm glad. So in forty years from now I'll be posting about that elk hunt I went on during my vacation time from work still.
The secrets to a successful marriage as a hopelessly obsessed hunter are pretty simple. Everything is based on trust, compassion, mutual respect, and absolutely lie about all the money you spend!!!
Depends on what you mean by "cost"...I haven't bought a lot directly, but the information that has been provided has "forced" me to spend a bunch of cash...
I actually think this site has saved me money. I would've spent a bunch of money on mediocre gear just to find out 3 months into using it that it falls short of my needs. Rokslide members test all my gear for me and so I know what i'm buying and can expect. Sometimes it doesn't workout but I'd say 90% of the time the reviews and comments are pretty spot on.
Alot, but I have also learned a ton, especially from some really generous folks who reached out in PMs. This site is a great resource, and most importantly.... a place to meet like minds. Hard to put a price on that
