    food

    Re: food +1 on Mountain House here. Not sure what the application is, but once you're hungry enough, a lot of things become delicious that otherwise weren't before.

    Jacket help

    Re: Jacket help Snugpak uses one of 2 variations of Softie: a resin bound polyester yarn as mentioned earlier. As far as an insulation layer, it's hard to go wrong with Primaloft. That being said, I went with a MontBell thermawrap UL for a light packable insulation jacket. Their Thermawrap...

    TAD Gear Stealth Hoodie 2012

    Re: TAD Gear Stealth Hoodie 2012 Beyond Clothing seems to be using the WB-400 for their Cold Fusion soft shell, but it's not clear if they use the C-change membrane with it.

    Which torque wrench is better? Borka or FAT

    Re: Which torque wrench is better? Borka or FAT Borka is about as good as it gets for something that is used on the range and at home. Anything more, you're looking at some CDI/SnapOn digital for much, much more.

    lightweight tent

    Re: lightweight tent +1 on the Big Agnes, they seem to be making some nice tents: especially the Cooper Spur series. On a budget, it's hard to beat a REI Half Dome tents. I'm just not a huge fan of their doors. Oddly enough, the footprint seems to be less durable than the floor of the...

    school me on MREs for a hunting trip

    Re: school me on MREs for a hunting trip If you have a reliable water source, I'd suggest going with dehydrated food since they're lighter to pack in and potentially you'll get more variety that you can select from. Instant noodles or mountain house as mentioned before are good. Otherwise...

    Another 5R on the way. Changed to 20" (Shooters?)

    Re: Another 5R on the way. Changed to 20" (Shooters?) Not quite 20" but you get the idea: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15qj032UJ1I 175 FGMM or similar will do just fine up to and over the range mentioned above with an AAC-SD, so you'll be fine.

    First build- 700 AAC SD

    Re: First build- 700 AAC SD +1 on the FGMM 175 or similar for the AAC-SD for 400 yds on out. That ammunition in that rifle with a solid stock/chassis simply flat out works.

    a marine on a budget

    Re: a marine on a budget With that SPS varmint in 308, B&C medalist stock and Leupold: all you really need is some flavor of 175 SMK ammunition. If you need base and rings, I'd check out Seekins. Change out the trigger only if you can't stand it or have some extra cash to blow: timney for...

    Good fleece jacket? I hope you can help me

    Re: Good fleece jacket? I hope you can help me After getting my Ranger a few days ago, I'm a definitely becoming a fan. Definitely looking at when they restock on their other stuff so I can try it out. http://farm9.static.flickr.com/8290/7851412674_2ba0484395_b.jpg?781 If that is any...

    Good fleece jacket? I hope you can help me

    Re: Good fleece jacket? I hope you can help me Just got the Ranger today: it's a nice bit of kit as most reports say. Warmer than the old R4 that I have and best hooded fleece I have seen so far. The LT would probably be better for high output activity. The fit on the Ranger is sleek...

    Good fleece jacket? I hope you can help me

    Re: Good fleece jacket? I hope you can help me For a windproof fleece, I've been a fan of the R4 from Patagucci or their synchilla snap t for more casual all round use. The Ranger caught my eye from what seems to be a well integrated hood so I will be giving it a try this winter. Otherwise...

    Thoughts on Surefire Ear Pro?

    Re: Thoughts on Surefire Ear Pro? The EP4s are a little more glamorous than foam ear plugs and they last a lot longer. The EP4s also cost more than the generic foam ear plugs. In terms of performance, there is probably little to no difference between the foam ear plugs and EP4s. You...
