    Heavy Merino Base or Merino Sweater - advantages?

    While reconsidering a few highly used base pieces and reviewing my existing sweaters / mids . Is there any real advantage to a heavier base layer (200-300ish weight) vs a quality sweater, both used over a 150 or lightweight base layer?( assume sweaters are mostly wool to 100% merino / lambs...

    My challenge to you

    I’ve thought a lot about this topic as too much gear and forum time for me just drives up my hours and / or dollars spent on venison. I’m a happily married dad of two with a corporate job and other hobbies. There is a connection for me with success & going into the woods with a quiet...

    Duffle bags

    I was looking for a very large duffle option. actually used a wheeled snowboard bag and didn’t get hit with an oversized fee for a western hunt ( about 50lbs) . I was told that others have done this with hard golf bag cases Only did that because my mtm arrow case is so long that my current...

    Did I missed something? Custom bowyers just jump up 20% overnight????

    this made me curious as I just received a 2024 Black Widow catalog. A PCH II was $1200 in my old 2022 catalog. 2024 is $1350. Seems about in line with a lot of items and less than groceries, niche hunting gear, and other stuff for my kids. The more I go down this rabbit hole the more I get the...

    College, Car, and Home Costs for Our Kids

    100% . Excuse my nonsensical response. A recent resource for beginners is Ramit Sethi’s “ I will teach you to be rich”. It’s more geared to millennials then Dave Ramsey ‘s tough love approach and it gets into investing passive / active examples. Cites millionaire next door as well. I ve always...

    Talk me out of a Chamberlin

    I’m at the tail end of this rabbithole. Some of the spreadsheet crew might have better feedback. I went with the Black Ovis for about $150 on sale . It’s 800 fill w 120g of down ( not water resistant) , I think- all this fill weight crap is too much to keep track of. Down options like the REI...
