    New Vortex Spotter

    This little guy seems like a future purchase. Currently have the smaller Viper scope, but this is about half the weight and likely much better...

    Sawzall did most of the cutting. Previous subfloor had nails missing the rafters and would've ruined that multitool blade quick. Sawzall wood and nails blade made quick work of those. Jigsaw was to clean up the cuts and make it as straight as possible and for the hole where the toilet flange...

    I bought a 1970's house in May that needs a bit of work so I feel your pain. So much to do and so hard to stay focused on any one particular task. Home Depot has become a 2nd home and everyone who's come over to see it keeps telling me how much work I have ahead of me. Hoping all the hard work...

    Plumbing Questions

    I was hoping someone here could help explain what might be going on here. I bought an older house and it looks like some of the plumbing was either reworked or replaced. The picture below is under a bathroom sink. I am wanting to install some shutoff valves for my hot and cold and looking for...

    Sausage making for a total beginner

    Get a stuffer and if you are going to freeze or cook right after making them, no curing salt is necessary. If you are going to smoke them or let them hang for a few days in a cool environment, I would add the curing salt.

    Brisket cooking time

    225-250 degrees. Cook the brisket for 45-1 hr per pound. 10lb brisket can take about 8-10 hours. Looking for an internal temp of 200-203ish when you pull. Wrap in foil or paper once you pull. It will continue to cook while it rests. You should let it rest for at least an hour before serving...

    Elk in unit 74 Colorado

    I would say you're good that far in to get away from any crowds. During first rifle, there may not be any snow to speak of, but there is always a chance when you are up that high. I would also say 9k plus is a good elevation to get into some elk. Focus on the north-facing slopes and pick every...

    Elk in unit 74 Colorado

    We had a good time and got into some elk after two days of glassing. The elk we were chasing were not trophies but they were legal. This country is steep but beautiful. Unfortunately, we came home empty-handed but definitely learned some things. Don't chase elk into the valley, wait until they...

    Backpacking tents/sleep systems... thoughts?

    It sounds like it's time for separate tents. Your requirements vs your dad's requirements are different. You could easily take that lightweight 2-person tent and just run the rain fly and a tarp for more space, and your dad can purchase a 1-2 man lightweight tent that he can set up however he wants.
