you would think hunters would have better target recognition but still humans going to be stupid. I tend to go for brightly colored outdoor gear as a rule since you are easier to find in case of emergency.

Yeah, I really just don't understand how stuff happens but it does. I mean, how do you get a good heart/lung/vitals shot if you haven't even identified the animal. Seems some peeps just out there flinging lead around and hoping for the best, scumbags all around. Even if it is a deer or whatever you can't just be throwing lead at it randomly, make a clean shot and a clean kill ffs.

and people (while chowing down on a bovine steak) bitch about "clearing shooting lanes" and the like isn't sportsman like...

Ya know, if you can setup and see your target, how is making the safely harvesting of meat that bad?

[Hartski]

Frankly, I don't give a crap about it not being sporting or unfair or whatever. Should be able to harvest the deer in the safest and most humane way possible. If that's a clean head shot with a rifle while the deer is licking a salt block, so be it.

Unfortunately, the legislators do not agree with me, so I will play their silly little games. Bah!

[HairyScandinavian]

While I hunt for sport so like to keep it sporting and fair and all that, tons of peeps hunt for meat or other than sport reasons so all the laws to make it more sporty seem a bit weird to me.

[darkninja67]

so anyone get more outdoor gear?

I need to get some new tent stakes, thinking MSR Groundhogs

[Hartski]

They make different types of tent stakes?? Not aware.

lol

different conditions may require different stakes. Ever pitch a tent in the snow??

[OBrien33]

I bought some more hunting stuff to stay warmer in the negative wind chill temps we had the past week. Still looking for a good deal on a ZT 300bw. Having my birthday 8 days before Xmas but after hunting season sucks.

Will be getting a ground blind and at least one more tree stand after the season.

While i am a master of useless knowledge and quite good at many, many things, I am a total newb as far as camping goes.

well at least you admit it. I am a noob at anything hunting related.


and anyone looking for outdoor gear, EMS is having quite a decent sale online (possibly in store as well).

Saw a stove I wanted that is $52 on amazon, and it is $48 at EMS (I think there is one close to me)


TheDude, I think I am going with the MSR Microrocket for a stove for now. The canister and stove can fit in one of their Solo cooksets which is nice.

Just jumped over to the EMS site, they have basically everything on sale at the moment, not bad.
A couple of things on there right now that I would pick up if I wasn't strapped for cash at the moment.
The Microrocket is a good deal as well, added that to the wish list. Total is up to about $350.00 in camping gear on the list.

$350? lol
dat poverty wish list

I am debating on snagging that MSR after work. I am strapped hard right now but most of my Christmas shopping is done.
Some of their clothing deals are good too especially if you can get the additional 20% and get that $50 gift card.
fuk me

[TheDude8734]

hey TheDude, did they (Moontrail) send you that free sport wash bag with the Deuter??

Yes, I took it off to show the pack better in the pics, but they have the wash bag buckled to the pack upon delivery.
I should take a look at it, didn't pay much attention to it as my attention was solely on the pack and taking quick pics.

I know, in comparison to the gear you have I cant compete.

no competition

I could use that wash bag thing, use it for toiletry stuff.
I keep feeling like I need everything now but I am not planning on hitting the winter mountains until next year. lol

[darkninja67]

the YouTube reviews on it look promising.

Bought some camo rain gear this morning. Cheap stuff, but it'll work for a while.

Ive been meaning to buy some frogg toggs for a while now. I probably went through a cheap rainsuit each time I used em last year.

Going to the military surplus store after work. I need a canteen and a belt pouch to carry the first aid kit for when i go hunting.

I wish we had a surplus store around here. Would love to pick up a few wool blankets and some other crap.

^ not bad Bear


These came last night:





the MSR MicroRocket is a beast, still want to get a Dragonfly though for the extreme cold.

Also need to get some guy lines and adjusters for the stakes. They seem very well made, good design too.

I goofed and got two bottles of the Nikwax DWR, no matter, can always use it on packs and such.

also picked up some Smartwool medium weight hiking socks, yeah they are worth every cent. Very warm and comfy.

[HairyScandinavian]

What's the details on that doggie pack?

[Procta]

got a new Xmas sweater

[darkninja67]

won't get shot if you wear that in the woods.............



or maybe you would, putting you out of your misery.

[darkninja67]

hey TheDude, check out this set:

GSI Pinnacle Soloist cookset:

http://www.gsioutdoors.com/activitie...ht_backpacking

looks like it can store canister and stove




I know the MSR Isopro 8 ounce canister is 227 grams, the 4 ouncer is 110 grams. Definitely could carry the stove with the 4 ounce can.

[darkninja67]

just ordered the MSR Trail Lite Duo cookset. Also got the canister stand and a Ti spork. I am pretty sure I can fit it all including stove and fuel in this set.

[Hartski]

Cool. I'll be looking forward to the reviews.

[TheDude8734]

hey TheDude, check out this set: GSI Pinnacle Soloist cookset:

Added to the wishlist, Check.

[darkninja67]

Added to the wishlist, Check.

I get my pack today, tempted to load it up and just head out to nowhere too.

I went with the MSR Trail Lite Duo Dude

[HairyScandinavian]

Bought 26 bags of soft plastics because I found several of my favorite baits on clearance. Lots of TTF Hackberry Hustler, Saltwater Assasin Seashad, and Norton Sand Shad Jr.
Saw these new Mullet hard baits and had to try them, one topwater and one fast sink model and been hearing good things about the Soft-Dine as well.
