    Hunting & Fishing Walking in with climber tree stand

    The XOP system arrived yesterday. Took about 15 minutes to get the buckles in the right spots- at least for now, might be more adjustment later. So far, way better than the straps that came with the stand. It holds the stand up high enough not to hit the back of my legs, and keeps the stand from...

    Hunting & Fishing Walking in with climber tree stand

    This is what I’ve been looking at: https://xopoutdoors.com/products/xop-treestand-transport-system I don’t have them yet, so not an endorsement. I’d guess there are others making similar products.

    Hunting & Fishing Walking in with climber tree stand

    I guess step one is to see if I can find a good way to secure the stand to my pack. Part of the issue is that my pack is an old Eberlestock lodrag I got for matches years ago and it is heavy to begin with. If I go with straps on the stand, then I can get the smallest, lightest bag that will hold...

    Maggie’s Man's Best Friend Thread

    Our last dog was having difficulty getting around and always was freaked out by going to the vet. So when the time came, we had a vet come to the house. It was a great move for him and us. He was relaxed and therefore we could be relaxed. It’s really worth considering if you’re facing that...

    Hunting & Fishing Walking in with climber tree stand

    The straps that came with the stand are just basic straps. no padding or anything between the metal and my back. There’s a company online selling a nice backpack type suspension system with a waist belt. Seems like it would be worth the money if I go that route. The area I hunt doesn’t get much...

    Hunting & Fishing Walking in with climber tree stand

    I bought a Summit climber stand for hunting state land this year. Looking for options on how best to carry it in/out of the woods. I think there are 2 basic options. First is strapping the stand to my pack. Second is buying one of the kits to carry the stand like a pack and getting a small bad...

    Remember this when you go car shopping and......

    When Bethlehem Steel went under they found out the union had mismanaged the pension fund. It was basically a Ponzi scheme with union leaders skimming off the top. The federal insurance stepped in. My dad got a little less than 30% of what he was promised. it was a learning experience for me -...

    We have wild raspberries. They grow like weeds here. My wife loves them. Unfortunately, they’re not my thing.

    Does ketchup go on hotdogs

    C’mon, this far into the thread and no one said horseradish? Best if topped with spicy brown mustard.

    I was in rehab a few years back. Roommate was old guy, didn’t want to talk to me or anyone else. Nurses bribed him- do your therapy and your daughter can bring Joey in for a visit. He did his therapy and got all excited when they brought in his dog. It was great to see. He actually talked to me...

    Try string cheese sticks, too. I haven’t done any cheese that didn’t work well. Swiss, Gouda, Brie, Gorgonzola, blue, mozzarella, sharp cheddar, provolone.

    Mil-ranging Standards

    Impact data books sells (or at least did in the past) a ranging practice kit. You print scaled down targets. Put them on a board and range them. The worksheet gives you the target size to use (even though printed on standard 8.5x11 paper, the size might be 23x35) and you fill in the sheet with...

    Maggie’s What are you drinking right now!?

    It didn’t take long for me to not miss bread. It’s mostly an issue of inconvenience. Too many meals out are based on bread or pasta. Taters….. yea, I miss those.

    Fieldcraft It's that time of year. Leaves of three, let them be!

    You can buy soap that helps get the oil off of you if you think you’ve been exposed. I think the brand is Tech-nu. Any strong soap that breaks down oils should work. You can have it spread days after exposure if you are sensitive enough to it. Those histamines causing the blisters can get...

    I do lower temp, like 122, and longer, 4 hours minimum and as long as 8. Then sear on the grill.

    In college we drank Lions Head from Scranton, PA. $4 per case in the early 90s. Good stuff!

    Maggie’s Where to meet my Soldier/son on leave?

    If you have some time in Rome, be sure to see the catacombs underground. It is really worth going into the city to see that.
