Here are some of the things that have been on my lists before if that gives you any ideas..
Boot wax
extra knife sharpener

fuel for stove
umai bags or sausage maker wrap for dry aging meat
Fire starter

Some materials for projects you have in mind (diy hammock, sleeping bag...
I’m not a fan of glasses either but always bring a pair as backup and an extra set of contacts with me (and another in the truck). I never ended up getting the daily contacts but could be a good plan, minus the trash. I do put a new pair in before heading out. Nothing worse than dry contacts...
Thanks for the info. Have a Rem 700 adl in 270 I could use as a donor action. Some part upgrades would help build some confidence.
Sounds like snagging a cheap savage could be a good entry into this. Is one easier or cheaper than the other?
Maybe do one or two of these before doing a full...
I see a lot of great results from people building rifles. Curious as to where you got the information to do this when you started. Obviously there are many types of rifles but specifically thinking bolt action. There are machining aspects I see as well, but not all builds require it. I guess...
@LuckyTom I was just winging it honestly. I wish I would have documented it. But.. it was a soy sauce base with honey to help sweeten and thicken it up, a bit of ketchup and rice vinegar (could have done more ketchup) and some famous Dave’s devils spit seasoning (red pepper flakes, cayenne...
Got a pellet grill last week so decided to test it out with some bacon wrapped venison backstrap. Made a spicy honey glaze to go with. Probably the best one I have made so far.

Selling some items I no longer need/have never used. Prices are to your door lower 48 please add 3% for F&F if using.

$70 - First Lite Kiln 3/4 base layer pant in cipher...
I had an issue similar with the scope. It wouldn’t stay zeroed for more than a couple shots. Finally sent it back to Vortex and they fixed it. Have not shot it since but hopefully it’s fixed.
Thanks @Buschy and @SFC B. I’ll definitely reach out once we get a bit more settled.
Pretty excited even with the downsides mentioned above. Luckily no one dropped a huge surprise. It will be a nice change of pace.
