      Best way to heat a tent in 40* /20mph wind weather?

      Great advice so far. I winter camp and camp at altitudes where there are no trees and the wind just swirls and blows. I am going to make an overall and very important assumption here about your trip. You guys are car camping, i.e. backing the vehicle up to a spot and unloading vice packing gear...

      Climbing Treestand Recommendations

      Man, I was just looking at Summit Vipers based on consistent recommendations from members of my hunt club. I will really look a lot harder at the cables and their attachment points now.

      Recommendations for ground blinds

      I'll throw in a nod to Barronett blinds. I have the grounder 250 which gives you a great field of view and plenty of room for one guy to sit and draw a bow. Buddy just got the grounder 350, very roomy. These are hub style blinds and whatever choice you make I highly recommend them over blinds...

      Question for Montgomery Co kayakers

      Did the same with my daughter. All the above are great spots and we have done them but a little known gem is the boathouse complex jointly built by Montgomery and PG counties. Spanking new facility along the old Bladensburg barge route, pretty far up the Anacostia. Water is very calm. The...

      Marlin 45-70 Lever Rifle...

      Great choice for hog, deer or any other medium to large North American game. There is such versatility in load selection. Honestly the sweet spot in the loads is 405gr meplat, that is what the rifle was designed around and it is what I use predominantly. If you are going after bigger, dangerous...

      Mt. Washington area

      Not a resident of Mt Washington or anything. I just wanted to observe that this thread represents the best of this forum. Members pulling together to get really helpful info out to the guy who needs it. A lot of times threads get wrapped up around the gripe/bitch/moan of the day, so it's really...

      Why is there no bow hunting during fire arms and Blackpowder?

      Regarding the question of whether a deer sees you in blaze orange, lots of info out there on this question. The short answer is they can't see oranges and reds because of the way their eyes are constructed. They see oranges and reds as grey. So if you are dressed head to toe in blaze orange, the...

      HQL class - $20.00

      Swfa SS 16X42 or Vortex Diamondback 4-16x42

      Understood, I would look at the diamond back or d-back HD or razor lines. In this instance I would literally go to a vortex dealer in your area and plan to spend at least an hour. Bring your current setup and just do side by side comparisons until you find what you like. Here is a much lower...

      Swfa SS 16X42 or Vortex Diamondback 4-16x42

      I have Vortex Crossfire 3-9× 50 on two rifles and another crossfire on my 22. Love the crisp clear Vortex glass. Hard to beat the quality for the price aND the no questions asked warranty. . Have shot with cheaper stuff, simmons, burris, Tasco and not saying that they aren't perfect for some guy...
