    Knife Recommendations

    I have almost every knife mentioned and IMHO replaceable blades really can’t be beat. Get a Havalon Titan or a Shockey and have both a folding and a replaceable. I would shy away from damascus online because they can be finicky . Benchmade are great I have 4 and a bunch of customs, carry a benchmade. Havalon now has the little plastic tool for removing blades and storing so it is simple, also gut hook, saw blade, and skinning blades. My most recent addition is a Kestrel, insanely lightweight and uses the same disposable blades.

    Bear Opener

    Saw nothing but some big coues! It sucked! Hot as could be, no pears, and a ton of people road hunting. I dont know how you road hunt bears most of the time I see them they think they are goats.

    Poor man's Alaska fishing trip?

    5guys maybe I was too harsh. Everyone catches fish and it is the best eating there is! That being said once was enough for me. 😬

    Poor man's Alaska fishing trip?

    Halibut fishing is miserable. Holding a rod with a 5lb weight at 2:00AM with 30 other people sucks. The little deadliest catch town is cool for about 2 hours. It is so much smaller than it looks on TV and mobs of people are with you the entire time. Mostly a tourist trap. Now salmon fishing on the river can be fun and trout fishing is awesome. If you find cheap flights I think you can have fun for $4K. Sorry I can’t help with booking info. I went last time with a mission group so the 3 fishing trips were booked as a large group.

    How much is the case going to run? I will need one of these soon.

    swarovski nl pure

    Nope! Well not at this time, need to see 5-6 real reviews. Then wait a year or two when they refine after all of the feedback. Finally old enough to have learned not to get excited and then have buyers remorse. But I will stare at them online a lot.

    Glassing chair for big dudes

    Do you draw straws to see who has to clean the legs at the end of the trip? 🤢

    Glassing chair for big dudes

    Our group all had "WalkStool" stools. One guy is 6'5" and was probably 275 and has used his for years now.

    Daisy fire getting big

    Throwing butts out the window should be punishable by flogging! Possibly one of the dumbest things witnessed every day.

    Blue Ridge Reservoir

    Same deal, 25 years ago we used to go every year and hike down and fish from shore. The fish were usually bigger and healthier than the other lakes we fished. We fished with boats a fees times cowbells and dare devils.

    How many hunters vote?

    I hope all hunters vote... if you don’t already see the importance hunting related issues should give you plenty of additional reasons.
  18. If you are going all out not much can compete with Really Right Stuff but you are going to pay. There is a reason all the PRS guys use this stuff or copies from other vendors. All the ARCA and picatinny adapters are available and easily swappable, super durable, super adjustable, and lighter than they should be for being built like a tank. That being said I will go from CF manfrotto and CF benro combo to an Outdoorsman for this season. I want to go a bit lighter and giving support to the local guys is a big plus for me. Even though expensive still half the RRS gear.
  19. I was playing with the same exact Oakley tint. Brings out brown, yellow, white colors and mutes green a bit. Originally a golfer tint from Oakley. What I noticed is brown becomes a bit more red when the blue is filtered, should help with deer but I hate glassing with glasses on. I want to try a mote purple lens and the vermillion color.
  20. I have been curious about this topic for a while as well. It seems like a lot of agreement on the pink or purple tints highlighting brown/grey and good to see deer. I also saw a few comments that "Serengeti" glasses helped. Yellow would be murder on your eyes in AZ, good early and then again late but I imagine this is a great way for a killer headache if you wear them all day. https://www.randolphusa.com/blog/how-to-choose-hunting-glasses https://www.completevisioncaremo.com/blog/see-the-deer-before-it-sees-you "Yellow or Amber tints improve contrast and depth perception and give a sensation of heightened visual acuity, especially during dawn and dusk - the times when wild game is most active. Additionally, they are effective at blocking the blue light commonly found in diffused light such as one might experience on a cloudy day." https://blog.safetyglassesusa.com/12-important-tips-for-choosing-the-best-hunting-eyewear/
  21. What does everyone use for long-range shooting? I built a portable one using collapsible sawhorses but I am getting tired of lugging around a half dozen pieces of gear for setup and takedown. Most of the commercial ones seem to be far too flimsy.

    Ballistic Media?

    By a cheap rectangle bucket and make ballistic gel. The recipe is easily found with Google, looks like Gelatin and water. Since it may melt wrap in small trash bags or fill jugs with it. I believe you can reuse it so you could probably shoot it in the bags grab what is left when you are done and reset it. I like the idea of the fiberboard, would be cool if you could place it in front and then see what makes it through. Seems this would be a good way to see which bullets might shed their jacket. All of this is just advice from a Google warrior I have never tried it you just got me curious so I started looking at some of the videos.

    Which portable shooting bench?

    Thanks! I may make another one but I bit the bullet and bought the Legacy. Price tag is steep but it is very well thought out and super solid but light enough pretty much anyone could carry it.

    Bed in a box beds?

    We have one Tuft and Needle in the house. I like the bed my wife does not. Even though they are order by mail they are an AZ company so you could go to their place in downtown Gilbert and check them out.
