      Looking for real backpack advice

      Austin is spot on with his gear list and advice. Blow up sleeping pads are what everyone uses and most come with a blow up sack to inflate them. I had a big Agnes pad but gave it away last week when my hike was over to a young lady that didn’t have one but desperately needed one.

      Looking for real backpack advice

      Good morning. I’m in BR and have a fairly new osprey that fits your needs. If you are in BR let me know and you can try it out. As far as the tents go about 99% of people pack the tent in the bag. Here’s how most people pack, liner bag in pack, sleeping bag, sleeping pad, clothes in liner...

      Pushed to the limits, but finished my hike through the Smokey Mountains

      Didn’t know there were so many mountain men on the forum. Love to hear the stories of conquest, ha ha. You can pack any firearm you want as long as you are willing to carry the extra weight.

      Pushed to the limits, but finished my hike through the Smokey Mountains

      If you are in your 40’s you could easily do it with some training. I’m 60 and the hiking goes pretty good, it’s the sleeping or lack of sleeping that gets me. Then add the cold weather and holy moly it’s a bad combination. You can cherry pick your times though, so plan it for next year and go...

      Pushed to the limits, but finished my hike through the Smokey Mountains

      My wife and I headed out last week to finish the section of the Appalachian Trail through the Great Smokey Mountain National Park. It was this section of the trail that got me interested in the AT many years ago and I was happy that she and I were able to finish it. We had physically prepared...

      Friday Night's Crawfish Étouffée Dinner

      That’s what I’m talking about. Like this way compared to boiled, but I was fortunate to eat boiled crawfish in December and January. I say fortunate because the price of crawfish at that time was beyond ridiculous. My cousin has ponds so through his generosity I was a happy camper.

      Scope for my deer rifle

      Like SVT, my eyes are not good enough to see a deer when it get late so I don’t really take shots at that time. I’m interested in the firefly scopes though as I think it’s a good option for late hunts.

      Scope for my deer rifle

      Tract scopes are a good optic for what you are looking for. I like Leupold also, but for what you are looking for may be a little bit over 400. I think if you do a little research you will find lots of good scopes in the 400 dollar range. I like good glass, but let’s be honest and say that most...

      Cheapest 22lr

      I have both of those models also and they are about even out of the box new. 10/22 rifles are much easier to upgrade as they make endless accessories for them. I think a 10/22 with an after market trigger would make it more accurate than the Marlin 60.

      Gone, gone, gone !!!! 5/4 tongue and groove treated boards

      2/12/24. The boards are gone. I have a pile of treated 5/4 tongue and groove boards I removed from my porch. They are in good to fair shape and could be used for a variety of projects. Deer stands, deck at the old cabin, wall in the work shop. I only removed them because I poured concrete for...

      Squirrels,suppressed.

      I’m running a Leopold Freedom Rimfire. I think it’s a 2-7 power. It does have an adjustable parralex on it. I usually leave it on 25 yds. It’s a great scope and plenty enough to shoot a squirrel in the eye. I don’t know if they make this model anymore but they make something close to this.

      Makes you wonder ….

      I was removing my EDC knife from my pocket and noticed that a bee had found its way into the hole at the end of the handle of the knife. How this could happen is beyond me. I use the knife all day long working around the house and shop and sometimes in the bee yard but for a bee to tuck itself...

      Smoked swine

      Wowza my man! That looks amazing. What wrap is around the meat ? What’s your method for cooking it, or more simply, how did you cook that masterpiece. Kudos to you also for helping out that family. So many good people in this world.
