Anybody have one of these? My dad told me a couple of days a ago that my grandpa wants to give me one. In some initial reading, it seems that they have a propensity to beat themselves into not functioning and some won't maintain accuracy. Some people swear that they are junk but others swear...

I'm debating which way to go. On the one hand, it would be nice to have a camp set up and waiting when you get back, with the added bonus of not having to carry it around all day. On the other hand, if you drop camp, you have to go back to get it. So if you're out during the day and decide...

I live north of Mojave (Inyokern), I've heard some people talking about pig hunting down by Tehachapi, anybody here know of any public areas or private areas where they won't charge you an arm and a leg? I was looking at coastal range areas, but it seems most of those are on private property...

But this just looks like a Darwin Award waiting to happen... At least they warn you about not using it during rifle season :rolleyes: BE THE DECOY HAT Have you ever thought, Man, if I could make this decoy move like an Antelope I would have it made. Well no more wishing. The Be The Decoy...

I picked one up this past weekend when I was at REI... I thought about the Oregon/Montanas, but between the tiny screen and the price, I decided against them. My wife had a Magellan with a screen that's about the same size as the Oregons and I hated the thing. She has a Garmin Nuvi now, it...

I picked up a Long/Wide up this weekend for $125, regular price is $170+. You have to go to the store to find it, for some reason they don't list the Synmat 9s on their website. Also, in case you're an REI member, each year, members get a 20% discount on one item, but I found out that you...

In case somebody's looking for one, it's under San Francisco Bay Area, the guy selling it wants $1,200 firm for it. http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/spo/3654354513.html

Anybody have any experience with these? I already have a set of the Tasco collapsible 10x binoculars, they're nice, but I can't see .30cal bullet holes in a white paper plate at 100 yards with them. The flip side of that is the areas I hunt are mostly forested mountain with occasional meadows...

There's a, if I remember correctly, 1997 Toyota Tacoma SR5 for sale, I saw it the other day. It's got 177,000 miles on it, the seller is asking $3,600. It's a 5-speed 4x4 with an extended cab, it has a moon roof and a bed cap. Externally, it looks to be in pretty good shape. I can't get the...

I was digging around on the on interweb and found these, they put them in MREs and sell them individually. I requested a sample and they're sending me a BBQ Beef and Apple Turnover. Some look good (BBQ Beef and Chicken), some, not so much (Pepperoni Stick and Bacon and Cheese). I'm going to...

I've been looking through these and there a number of manufacturers. I've found some on sale for around $35, but... Apparently, Icebreaker has several brands that they sell merino wool under, including Red Ram, and the quality seems to vary between the brands. Reviews of Terramar had a lot of...

I don't have the time or money to do reloading myself anytime in the near future and surplus ammo, which I use for my range time, has gotten scare and really expensive. Oh yeah, I'll pay for the powder, bullets etc, plus your time (money, beer, etc). I have a bunch of brass, is there anybody...

Some of you may already know about this, but I figured out recently that companies will go and sell on Amazon at pretty good discounts from their company websites. I was looking at a Terra Nova tent, it has been on Amazon and some other sites for $240+ dollars. I just found it on Amazon for...

I had an idea last night, Trader Joes sells an Australian wine that comes in a 4 liter box and has a spout w/ a twist valve on it. I finished one last night and pulled the bag out to look at it. The spout just pulls out and pops back in and the bag is obviously designed to hold wine for...

I've got military issue cotton and polypropylene so far. I'm looking for something light-weight to replace the cotton for wear on a daily basis in the mountains that won't lose it's insulation properties if it gets wet. I started out last week with just pants and layering on top (t-shirt...

I went up by Sherman Pass early last week. Saw two does the first night and that was it. I found a couple of meadows below Sherman Peak with lots of beds (one had a couple of dozen + beds) and lots of track and I heard something moving through the woods near me one morning, but that was it...

They're called Catoma, they have about 4 different tents that weigh between 2lbs and 5lbs. They also sell sixty-second tents used by Department of the Interior fire fighters.

If anybody's looking to get a titanium kettle, Backcountry.com has 700ml Stoic ones on sale for 19.50, 50% off of the normal price.

In case anybody is interested, I found a company that rents PLBs. I don't know if we can post links, so just google "PLB RentaL" and it will be pretty obvious. It's $39/ week, it says on the website that they charge in one-week increments, but the lady I talked to said that they can also...

Does anybody carry it? Had a chance to use it? Did it work? I found a website by a animal biologist and he said that black bears tend to be more aggressive and are more likely to be predatory than grizzlies, i.e., grizzlies will normally try avoid contact while black bears are more inclined...
