Gear is subjective and personal. My advice is get the right skills and pick gear that fits one’s style and make sure to know how to use it effectively. A great scope that one can’t use is worse than a cheap scope one can. Buying super high tech camo won’t help if one ignores the wind and...
I like Leupold a lot and I’m inclined to buy the BX-5 in 15x56 and the new RBX-3000, but I’m hearing poor reviews from people I trust. The 15x56 gave some people headaches and they thought the clarity was just okay and eye cups were too large. And I read a disappointing pair of reviews at...
Gotta say, I’ve eaten some unpleasant stuff in some weird places off the beaten path in Africa and the Middle East but not sure I’d be excited to try muskrat tacos...but was fun to watch the episode!
Any word on when it will be available and pricing? Heard price might be as high as $3,900 a pair which is higher than Swarovski, Leica or the new Zeiss RF.
It’s a good bandage. But the drawback is when the bleeding is caused by a deep arterial injury, it may not provide enough pressure to stop the blood loss. Rolled gauze can be made into a powerball and stuffed into the artery. Then the entire wound can be packed with more gauze and an ace...
I only take things I know how to use. In my opinion it doesn’t matter what you carry if you don’t know what to do or how to use the gear.
That said, my trauma med kits are various sizes depending on many factors but are all based around the TCCC military first aid protocols as that is what...
I damaged my knee and had surgery yesterday. Today, I’m celebrating my birthday, with my leg in a brace, by mapping out goals for when knee heals. I plan an elk trip to Colorado in October. Beyond that, I’m thinking of an aoudad sheep hunt and I’m thinking about a goat hunt in Canada...
I’ve been researching the same brands in search of a scope. I am intrigued by the new Leupold because in paper it looks like a winner and I like the brand. That said, going to bird watching sites I have learned a lot about the nuances that serious birders look for. Kowa and Swarovski are...
Good luck. Last week I ruptured my ACL, tore my miniscus in 4 places, dislocated my patella, bruised the bones in my leg and sprained my MCL. Doctor said I’ll make a complete recovery in 5-6 months which includes pre op rehab and strengthening, operation and post op physical therapy. I’m...
