    Pack size?

    It's usually something that grows on me, the stink, I never notice then I get home and my wife tells me I stink. I've started to dry the baby wipes out and then stuff them in a ziploc, wet them as needed. It's nice when we have a baby in the house because I can just steal some of those. I'll...

    Pack size?

    Yeah, during archery season I can usually go quite a few days in one pair of socks, so long as I can dry them out at night I will keep wearing them.

    What I learned on my first backpack hunt. (Cold weather)

    I think that's a hard thing to determine. For me it's more than 4lbs if I take my spotter and tripod. If it's glassing intensive my tripod comes no matter what, even if it's just for the binos. I rarely will carry both on something like an archery elk hunt but for deer it's nice to have the...

    Pack size?

    Good to know my feet sweat a lot too. It makes it worse when it's cold because my feet are getting wet but there's nothing I can do to stop it.

    New SIG Kilo 10K released

    I've heard really bad things about the previous version's optical quality. It will be interesting to see if/how these compare to some of the better glass out there.

    What Reloading Countertop Surface Material do you use?

    I Just used two sheets of 3/8" on the reloading side of my room, one sheet on the gun side. It's a been very good so far. I couldn't find any 3/4" at the time (2020), or it was really expensive. I sanded it smooth, filled in any holes, and sealed it. I would like an engineered counter top, but...

    Remage/Savage build

    Here's my 28 Nosler just after I got it finished sitting next to a Browning A-Bolt II for size comparison. I don't take enough pictures, especially don't take many of my guns. Specs; Savage LA magnum Northland Shooters Supply recoil lug PTG barrel nut Proof 26" pre-fit barrel with 1:8T in 28...

    Pack size?

    I would say take 2 pairs of socks, make sure they're good merino wool though. I typically swap out every day, back and forth so that a pair has some time to dry. Also you can put your socks under or in your sleeping bag so that your body heat will help to dry them out. Your initial post sounded...

    Cartridge poll for curiosity

    Depending on the type of competition, PRS or NRL Hunter, it would be different calibers. For PRS I'd choose a 6mm and it'd probably be the Dasher, I'm currently in the process of building one. For NRL Hunter I'd probably go with a 6.5 Creedmoor, but may also consider the 7mm SAUM for the windier...

    I Know This Is LRH... But What Is The Shortest Distance You Have Taken A Live Target?

    I shot a javelina with my bow at 33 yards a few years back. So far that is the closest for me.

    short vs long mag

    I’ve really never had any issues with my WSMs feeding with proper bullets. The one I have had issues with is my 243 WSSM, but that was only with hollow points. Mine are all A-Bolt IIs in 243 WSSM, 7mm WSM, and 325 WSM. What rifle are you shooting?

    KESTREL BALLISTICS ACCESSORIES FOR UPGRADES AND UPDATES

    I bought the data transfer cable. I don’t need it. I thought I would use my computer for stuff at some point. I just use my phone for updates and everything else.

    Interesting article on bear spray vs. bear handgun defense

    That law was passed for people that travel to and from, or through for work. It’s still illegal to discharge a firearm within the parks.
