    From my understanding it can be best to put fat lose and muscle building/training/conditioning into separate phases. Unless you have a lot to drop and/or are really out of shape then it can be impossible to do them both simultaneously since you need to be in calorie deficit to lose fat and you...

    Backpack hunting gear for kids

    If I end up with one I will let you know how it is. My hope would be that with changing waist belts it could take him all the way until he was big enough to get the small exo pack - figures crossed his is still hooked by then.

    Yeah I wasn’t planning on getting my boy a pack just yet but that one might be the one when I do.

    Backpack hunting gear for kids

    It’s not a cheap kids pack but I came across this one: https://www.ula-equipment.com/product/kids-spark/ It seems like it’s about 1lb lighter then the main stream brands of similar size and it sounds like it can grow with the kid.

    Backpack hunting gear for kids

    The first trip with him he was 4 (but reliably potty trained at night I think). I had picked out a spot about 1.5miles in, fairly flat getting there but with some off trail to make it more interesting. Went well - but I think getting there took less time than I expected and just hanging around...

    Backpack hunting gear for kids

    Awesome. My son just has the rei Tarn 12. Real little but he does like to be able to carry a few things. At this point I am still just focused on making it as fun as possible to be out so I don’t care if he Carrie’s anything if he doesn’t want to. I haven’t really taken him on any serious hunts...

    Backpack hunting gear for kids

    I splurged and got my son a feathered friends down bag when his was 4 - (soon to be 7) mostly cause I am the one carrying stuff. Great for backpacking and we have done some pretty cold truck camping as well so it’s nice to know he’s warm down to some pretty cold temps and I will be able to pass...

    Hunt Talker 2023 Fitness Goals

    Yeah it seems little known. I stumbled across it while looking for information on Paiute lake (a trail less lake that I thought would be sweet to camp at) and I've been wanting to try the traverse ever since. The distance is more than I've ever done by a lot. Hiking all day in that terrain...

    Hunt Talker 2023 Fitness Goals

    Big goal for the gear is the Pfiffner traverse with some good buddies in late August. Goal is to be fit enough to do it in 4 days without it being a total suffer fest and without injury. Then I will feel really ready for elk seasons - which is kinda the best part. Along the way I would like...

    Pressure signs on factory ammo?

    No. I think it’s just a quality control issue. As most of the rounds are fine and then maybe 1 in 10 or less will be significantly different going for easy bolt lift to quite sticky and no extractor mark to a decent mark. So yeah I guess pandemic specials. I bought them about a year ago.

    Pressure signs on factory ammo?

    I recently started reloading and with that started noticing that on SOME factory ammo I have been shooting (Hornady outfitter 300WSM) I get excess pressure sign if a sticky bolt lift and extractor mark. If nothing else this seems to indicate the charges aren’t consistent. Are such exesss...

    Neck flat spot?

    Ha yeah - it’s there but the photo definitely made it seem less noticeable than it had seemed to me before before I took a photo! Thanks guys.

    Neck flat spot?

    I think the photo makes the point that it’s not very significant as it’s not that noticeable on the photo. Still I was curious. Hitting the port upon ejection was my thought as the flat spot also seems to show just a slight scrape mark on the neck as well.

    Neck flat spot?

    Just starting to learn and get ready to begin reloading. Been saving my factory brass for awhile and inspecting it now I noticed that on my 300WSM , for which I have one rifle, On many of the fired case necks there a slight flat spot. I don’t see this feature on any other rifle brass I have...

    Parallax - give it some attention

    Having gotten a new scope recently with a parallax knob that has no yardage markings I started paying a bit more attention to it then I had previously and wish I had done so much sooner. Before I would just use the yardage marks and call it good enough having read that the error is not very...
