    MLB

    Not a fan of the rich arguing with the richer but I'm happy to have another baseball season to follow. There's a single A team the next town over from us, always affordable fun to watch a few games every year. I have to blame my dad for why I'm a dodger fan, but I have to say it was great as a...

    Well, GM Won Me Back

    You can but from what I've read those valves for the cylinders that deactivate still fail.

    Well, GM Won Me Back

    Congrats on the new truck! I'm still running my 05 Silverado with the 5.3. I've lost faith in the 07+ Silverados with the cylinder deactivation, I've personally seen many of those motors burning oil and fail well before 200k. They may have changed that system with the newest version of...

    What are you guys paying for gas?

    In a week Costco went from 4.05 to 4.53. Local Chevron/shell etc are over $5 now

    100 bucks or less sunglasses

    I'm a fan of Oakley's for many reasons. 1)Made in the USA, 2)they have a few models designed for dudes with small faces like me and 3) they are impact rated so I'm good to go at work or shooting with them. The non polarized usually are under $100 and you can sometimes get polarized at that...

    I love this time of year in the foothills. Spent the morning fishing the lower kings river.

    What are you guys paying for gas?

    Current price at the local Chevron is $4.67 for reg. Costco is $4.05. This summer is going to be a rough one. Like nick87 said, there's a lot of us normal people in California, but we are outnumbered by the loonies in the big cities and coast. As more and more of the sane people leave...

    New Tire Opinions

    I'm on my 3rd set of nitto terra grapplers. My last two sets went 60k miles on my 1/2 ton Silverado. Great even wear and not loud going down the road. They are excellent in sand, great on dry steep trails, decent in mud, no experience in snow with them. Overall they are a good all around...

    linguica

    As much linguica as I've eaten in my lifetime as a Portuguese kid living in the central valley of California (aka the tri-tip and linguica capital of the u.s.) I don't have a recipe but I too would recommend the Hank shaw recipe. Looking at his ingredients and the way he prepares it will come...

    "Go To" Alcohols

    Not a fan of the hard stuff, but for beer, Coors banquet is my go to. On the craft side I like, Firestone dba and union jack ipa, Sierra Nevada pale ale, Alaskan amber.

    The Hunting Product That Most Impresses You

    I can second these, I have the safariland ones but they look identical right down to the case, I would bet they are both made by the same company. I've used them both dove hunting and shooting/hunting with deer rifles and it cuts down the blast very well but you can still hear your surroundings...

    InReach Mini 2

    Thanks for the share, something worth checking out. I keep bouncing back and forth between the mini and zoleo. I like that messaging is so much easier than the mini, but one bad fall and you bust your phone and you're screwed. The mini seems like it would have a better chance of making it...

    2022 Super Bowl Vittles

    We are pretty low key, we usually stay home and BBQ. I smoked my first brisket last Sunday, I'm planning on making chili with some of the leftovers to go with burgers on game day.

    Reputable and Disreputable Online Retailers

    Sportsman's, midway usa and Scheels have been my go to. Not too many local small shops around that offer hunting gear, everything is more for the tactical crowd.

    Landscapes (pics)

    Got here just before first light last Saturday hoping to catch a pig heading back to their bedding area for the day. Tons of sign but they must be moving in the evening from the surrounding private ranches. Lots of people wonder why anyone would still live in California. Hard to beat 35 degree...

    Sous Vide then smoke?

    Unless you are dealing with wild pork there's no need to cook chops to well done. I pull mine at 140-145 and they climb another 5 while they rest. I usually buy a whole loin at Costco and cut my own chops so I can make them 1- 1 1/2" or so thick. Thin chops dry out quick. I wouldn't say they...

    A little humour for your day

  19. B

    Why my pack sucks: Kifaru, Stone Glacier, Exo, Seek, Mystery Ranch, Kuiu, etc.

    Reading this bums me out, exo was definitely on my short list of packs I'm considering for my next pack. Were they willing to warranty the pack for that? I deal with a lot of rock in the places I hunt.

    Chrony bit the dust - time for a Labradar?

    Not to hijack the thread but I've had my eye on these for a couple years now. Is there an issue with it picking up readings from someone shooting next to you?
