I to switched to ss wet tumble. Mainly because the wife hated to smell of the walnut/lead dust in our basement but just the efficiency of it. I also found Boretech cleaner is awesome. Dries with less spotting an conditions the brass. Lastly for accuracy finatical minded guys when cleaning this...
I bought one a few years ago to make up a surf rod. I only use it once a year but I was suprised how well built it was. It has a high/low retrieve that works great.
My family is ready for our second dog. A Toller really looks like the breed that would be a perfect fit. I'm from central PA an seems like the waiting list for breeders near here are year or longer. Just thought I would post our intrest on here an maybe some might have some info.
Feel free to...
I have a Redfield Rampage 20-60x60mm. It was under $300. Fits nice in my pack. It to does the job but at high mag the very center of image blures out. You can just look around it. Good glass is never cheap. Sucks
I think about layer based on activity. Also I might be an extra sweaty guy or get cold easy but if I plan on a dark to dark sit i'll hike in, in plain cotton socks then a grocery bag for a liner. Plus just a t-shirt. That all comes off when finally on location. Put on my good layers then. If I...
We made our first trip last year expecting the worst. We figured just pick a unit with bad rep for terrain. And still we saw quite a few others. The main road was only busy during morning an evening so at least I think it all was hunting traffic. Maybe some road hunting traffic. But at least No...
My quick truck story..
I am I guess a mopar guy. I also like to just buy an keep vehicles. Last 2005 Ram bought used in 06. Only prob I had it needed exhaust manifold studs replaced at 120000m an ball joints for state inspection. But, I replaced rad, waterpump, front tierods and ball joints...
60hrs drive. Man... you guys have route an stops kinda figured out. Might want to have a 5gal can for the oh crap we need fuel and wheres the next station moments. It happens to me on rt70 barreling from PA to CO an just get talking an paying attention.
Sounds like an awesome trip. I'm jealous...
Plus I tuned into Randy's shop talk while working in the shop. The tip of the week is don't eat 5 alarm chili when planing to go out in the mountains. To funny! I ussually try an lay off the Genesee beers too.
I keep picking away at getting my self and my equipment ready. Just welded up an aluminum bracket to mount a full size spare on my cap rack for my new truck. Plus drove out to some state forest free campsites to try out the Alaknak an other camp goodies. Looks like we can do some steep hikes an...
Just for comparison sake. My 2nd rifle trip in 86 last year had warm dry windy days Friday to Wednesday with upper 70s for a high and upper 30s for a low. Then Thursday sleet an snow made us leave the 9/10k areas just because 3ft of snow was predicted by noon Friday. Plus mountain roads in our...
The Covers and Camo guys I settled on seem to be family owned an busy as heck also. Looking at 5weeks wait for camo styles. I really wanted the tactical an two tone option like Headwaters puts together. These seem close plus they are going to have an elk emblem on the headrest. May be cheesey to...
Hope its not a Ram. Last I talk to them they are waiting to get a test truck in. I found Covers and Camo to be a close match to Headwaters designs. I ordered the Ops Camo package. Im sure the cordura will hold up to dogs an the tight weave would keep the hair from stabbing in. The cons i've...
Our last trip to 86 was super dry. On fire in Salida even. But if you follow a marked creek you should find where it finally pops out. Where we were hunting we found surface water at like 8000ft an it was thick. But lots of sign from lots of critters. Some of the creeks out of high counrty lakes...
