Have you ever NOT shared information?

Respect this. A huge pet peeve of mine is when people "review" something right out of the box.
Yeah. "I haven't had a chance to use it yet, but I'm super impressed with the manufacturer's advertising! Here's me finger-fondling it for 7 minutes, and me reading the manufacturer's specs from their webpage. I'm sure it's gonna be GREAT and you should BUY ONE!"

Give me a break. Not everything needs a year's use in the field before you give some input, but at least hunt with it a time or two.
 
I dunno, I'm pretty convinced you have an unhealthy level of old gear. I've seen some interesting crates, buckets, and boxes in the background of some of those pics you post.

And I don't think I've ever seen you wearing a camo pattern that was still being manufactured. You're like some trad bow hipster! :tearsofjoy:
If you're talking about the buckets of empy PBR cans, dont be jealous. I'll admit I have a hard time throwing away anything that could potentially be useful. Having worked professionally in the outdoor industry for a long long time doesnt help. I used to get a lot of free stuff--samples, disco'd items, etc. I literally have a stanley organizer for nuts and bolts that is 2' x 18" full of fastex buckles, molle attachments and webbing buckles/etc. like you would see at a sporting goods store.

As far as the camo goes, manufacturers only changed it to get people to buy more. Cause if mossy oak treestand was still being made, it would work as well as anything else. IF it works, why would you buy anything new?It's a marketing scam.

Not sure there's such a thing as a trad bow hipster :smirk:. But i've never had a ponytail, or completely man-scaped like someone else here might have divulged that information to the entire internet.... And I've been wearing plaid, wool, carharts, and chippewas before they were in style because I actually live in the woods and do chop wood, not cause I just want to look like i do. My clothes smell like 2-cycle, not Ralph Lauren.

This is true but I appreciate the quick review of the flex that was recently on this site. Take it for what it is

And not everything needs to be from this decade either :)

I never stole a horse from someone I didn't like, brother. ;)

I agree with you on all points mentioned. If my deep and abiding hatred of clutter didn't get in the way, I'd be the same way.

I know...It's an addiction like I said, so I have to defend it right??? isnt that how it works? Yes, the clutter drives me nuts, and it wouldny be like that if I didnt have 2 kids..but stuff falls to the wayside.

Not going to lie, the kestrel may have made a lot of my stuff obsolete at this point. Time will tell.

I'm the same way, I've got one room of our house packed with tools, hunting stuff and miscellaneous materials. Me and the mrs been discussing building a house and shop for me to work in and she's already stated that all my hunting stuff is going to the shop and not cluttering up her house. That used to be her sewing room, but after the first kid she didnt have time and I started putting my stuff in there because the closet and attic were full...
 
It's more fun to tease y'all about it.
So far you have sold me on the 7oz pocket tether. That’s like one of eight “game changing” ideas I bought in on. I’m not exactly clinging to the edge of my seat. :p But please get all the enjoyment out of it you can. Just know that if I ever have an original idea(not likely) you are the last person I’m telling. I might throw out a few hints but will make you wait on @redsquirrel to post a video explaining it.

Lol, now we're making threats? ;)

I honestly don't think a lot of folks will be jumping on this band wagon. Definitely don't plan on roping you in against your will. But after I've had a week or two to play around with the thing, I may hop on here and let y'all in on the fun.

Don't make us Jump through hoops and over obstacles to figure it out.
 
How does it feel 112 when its 95? Is that some kind of swamp magic? I looked up mine, is 86 right now, feels like 86.

Its qual day for me. Getting paid to go to the range, and someone else buys the ammo. It's a hell of a deal.

It's the humidity. Many times here in AR itll be in the 80s or 90s but due to humidity will feel well over 100. Then when it hits 100 it can feel like 120+
 
So, humidity, ticks, and more people/less land. Any other enticements to move there I don't know about?
I don't know enough about Alabama to sell it to ya.

Now on Arkansas let's see, decent bit of land, bunch of people, humidity, ticks, chiggers, giant skeeters, tornadoes, hurricanes, ice storms are all pretty common problems.
