    Leupold Scope Recommendations

    After decades of hunting, I finally starting routinely carrying a spotting scope. I used to always poo poo them because of the weight. This year I borrowed a Vortex Diamondback 20-60x85 straight tube. During my antelope hunt, I found myself wishing the glass was a little sharper. Although I...

    Actual waterproof boots-do they exist?

    Yep. I was stationed in a cold/wet place. We were actually issued some generic boots simply labeled BOOTS, INTERMEDIATE COLD/WET. But I was pretty sure they were Belleville because they started popping up shortly after. Most of us saved up for the Danner Ft. Lewis boots which were over half...

    Actual waterproof boots-do they exist?

    I am convinced a lot of the water wicks in when bushwacking through brush. Another vote for gaiters or rain pants. Also, the more waterproof your boots, they more they do not breath, so your feet are going to get sweaty. As my Captain once said as he marched by a bunch of us pouring water out...

    Is a fixed bent frame worth it?

    I agree with what others have been saying. What are you using it for? If it's your daily driver, maybe not. I owned a truck the insurance company should have totaled. It never was quite right after the collision, and I didn't know enough back then to keep taking it back on the insurance...

    NRA response the US Public Land Sale

    Very true statement. Enemy of my enemy and all of that. However, for my limited finances, I'll choose to financially support other institutions. But I totally agree with you, I shouldn't start a trash talk campaign or anything. Sometimes you just need to know the limitations of things and...

    NRA response the US Public Land Sale

    Being from western Washington we can shoot firearms on state land but more and more of it is being shut down to shooting due to reckless target shooters that leave their trash and do not adhere to the basic firearm safety rules and/or proximity to populated areas. I could see the state shutting...

    NRA response the US Public Land Sale

    I contacted the NRA on June 14 asking what their stance was. On June 24, this was their response to me via email: "I apologize for the delay in responding; I had sent your question to our federal affairs team to see what the status was: The proposal by Senator Lee to sell off these public...

    Newest US Senate Land Sale Amendment

    I belong to some other "left" groups due to enjoying hiking. I think it was Washington Trails Association that is opposing the land sell-off with a petition campaign instead of a letter campaign. I suspect a high petition support count will at least cause some Rs to pause, so I signed it. I...

    Idaho Nonresident Draw!

    Great! Now I can sell my 19 extra computers, downgrade my google fiber, and stop hiring 19 high school kids to hit refresh over and over and over. Anyone know any Cryptocurrency Miners looking for extra hardware? JK... I found this interesting: "Disabled American Veteran (DAV) tags DAV tags...

    Washington Special Permit Drawing Results

    Funny story. I had a buddy get in an argument with a DFW biologist several years ago about him seeing a grizzly in the North Cascades. The biologist started shaming him and talking down to him. When he pulled out his phone and showed the picture of the grizzly standing in the middle of a...

    Newest US Senate Land Sale Amendment

    I sent personal emails to my senators, Senator Lee respectfully telling him my disappointment, and the NRA to boot since they appear to be silent on the issue. Since my senators are liberal democrats, I focused more on my enjoyment of public lands as a hiker. I didn't mention I am usually...

    Washington Special Permit Drawing Results

    I don't understand it. We have such amazing looking country, but the critters seem scarce. High pressure, wolves, soon to be grizzlies, no trapping, no hounds, and now no spring bear certainly doesn't help game management but still, I would expect to see more animals especially in the coastal...

    Washington Special Permit Drawing Results

    Swing and a miss... I boycotted WA Department of Fish and Wildlife for years after the "official" wolf reintroduction. Once the boys became hunting age, it became a choice of economics, out of state hunting gets expensive so I am back to hunting WA. As a result, I am a low low low on...

    Idaho DEA Draw is out!

    I went rogue this year. Applied for my favorite deer tag - no luck and no surprise not getting it. Applied for a cow permit(s) and an antelope permit(s) I have never applied for before and got both a cow and a pronghorn permit - yay! Neither is a glory tag, but I am excited to hunt some new...

    I've whittled my collection down to three mounts

    About a year ago we had to make a quick move for family reasons which ended up being a significant downsize. I put all my mounts in storage at a family member's place. I have not missed them at all. I am seriously considering selling them. I wish over the years I would have focusing on...

    camper shell or small trailer?

    I have done a lot of overlanding. I preferred a ground camp with a pop-up tent. The family we ran with transitioned from a pop-up tent to a trailer with a pop-up tent, to a teardrop trailer. You're asking specifically about a campershell or a 6x10 enclosed trailer. A traditional camper shell...

    Fiberglass Truck Topper

    My 2010 Ram 2500 wore a Leer I found on Craigslist. Color-matched it for around $300 at Maaco in the winter when business was slow. Including the paint, I suspect I paid well less than half the price and made money on the bed slide that I bought at the same time. If it was me, I'd buy any of...
