    Another Rant Thread

    I’m with you lol I drive for a living and it seems like everyone is entitled to the “hammer lane”. Orrr the merge lane on a interstate! They don’t signal, they don’t try to speed up and they definitely don’t yield. The stupidity I see on a daily basis from the cab of a truck is insane.

    Boiling water and mixing it in thier mt house and then proceed to eat it in front of the camera and talk with a mouth full of food The minute I see water boiling or them eating, I quit and instantly feel dark thoughts about them. I rarely watch anything though and my blood pressure has really...

    Who doesn’t wear camo to hunt

    I’m really liking the wrangler outdoor pants, browning lightweight olive hoodie and the Columbia ascender jacket. Affordable and quiet . I was thinking a plaid flannel would be fine except for all the burs and stickers.

    Who doesn’t wear camo to hunt

    Comparing prices on camo and thinking plaid might be my new color. I feel like I’m reverting back to my childhood of wearing a faded green mechanics one piecebut the price difference between camo and clothes that are simple earth tones are insane to me.

It could be for retirement, I have a 401k thru my employer but I would like having something else I can throw x amount of cash into a month and not worry about losing...

    Great info guys, thanks! It helps making sense knowing the why behind it. It’s usually after a steep hard hike in.

    High elevation appetite

    I would consider 9000 and above high altitude for my flatlandish self. I was thinking it was also altitude sickness and it is after a strenuous hike where I hunt. I was “in country” a few days before my hunt to try and adjust. Hoping it would help, I ended up hunting around 9600-10k for part of...

    Maybe a dumb question but how does a brokerage account work? I was hoping to keep money in longer than 3 years.

    High elevation appetite

    I feel like at higher elevations I have zero appetite and I literally have to force myself to eat. Am I alone in this? I’m considering taking a meal replacement shake and a few snacks instead of debydrated meals. I have no problem drinking water and figured it would at least be a way to get...

    Mixer recommendations

    Do you guys have a brand preference? And I would assume with a gear box right? We usually do 10+ deer a year so it probably would save time. We dont grind everything but we do eat a lot of burger

    Mixer recommendations

    First off would you guys even recommend a mixer for mixing fat and seasoning? I’ve read a lot of reviews on various mixers and many seem to be a hassle to take apart and clean. Debating on if it would be easier to just have the family do it by hand? It would mainly be used to mix fat with...
