Its the most obnoxious thing a hunter can have

As the years advance I've found the sleeping mat is my most important consideration. I'll have to have a look at these

Zoomed in the sight picture was shaking like a mad woman's custard. Also 1500m is approximately 1400m beyond my ability

On top its a Hikmicro Stellar 50mm Objective lens 12 micron screen with 640 resolution I tested it over the weekend and could clearly pick-up a guy on bike 1500m away. (Scope unmounted) Absolute game changer first the fox and roo crowd Oh and Warne rings and mounts on my shitty Mossberg 30 06

Describes this setup. Rifle is 5% of the cost

Followup. Little brother for the first one

Yeah it deserves a home. Im working on some more knives first

Thought I would have a crack at making my own utility style skinning knife. Saw blade for the blank and local Ironbark for the handle. Oiled finish Pins are alloy with brass insert Very happy with the result

Is it quiet? If there's no frame then it's gotta be lightweight work only. You can et reasonable day packs that have struts so you can add extra kilos if you need to. Not the best for long hauls or overnighters but a good hybrid design Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

Ive been using a Macpac 65L unit since the late 90s. It was actually designed for climbing/snow work. The main thing is to get into a really good harness, no amount of gear will feel comfortable without a good harness, It needs to support your load and stay well fitted whilst moving. Secondly it should keep your load secure and stable BTW 100L is just ridiculous. If you plan well and have access to water even a 50L pack will work fine. The less fiddly bits the better. All those pockets/ straps/ elastics/ mesh bits all snag on whatever youre passing through. Multiple zips/ various compartments etc all just add spots for water to get through and another point of failure. Focus on a well fitted harness and a simple design made with durable materials and you will be able to use it forever.

I love the MAverick app , its stacks faster ( and I think more accurate) than some of the others and doesnt download erroneous content either. Hvent got any third party maps in to it yet though GOOD TECH

Mate Im forty and doing exactly the same thing

Our feet are no longer capable of doing the barefoot thing. We pretty much have to do it from birth. If you hav ebeen wearing shoes for the last 15or 20 years then you have lost the ability to go bare foot without damage. Arch and ankle problems are the result. Without a at least a half shank and a semi-rigid sole these things would be dangerous for the average punter. Add a load on your back and it exacerbates the problems. This can compound into knee and hip problems as well. I wouldnt use them as Ive been wearing shoes and boots all my life

I just got back from the local camera shop after purchasing some new binos Checked out about 8 sets and like you Im in hte low end of the price range Checked out quite a few Tasco, Bushnell and 1 Leica and some other one I cant remember now Basically they were all a bit ordinary, lots of dispersed light, ordinary to poor focus and this includes the Leica which clocked in at some $750. Actually I found that one the hardest to use overall, stiff and not useer freindly controls, OK focus point, OK low light. Then I was handed a set of Pentax and they were an immediate standout, sharp and fast focus great field of view, really sharp and colourful, pulled into the dark spots well, great to handle. They were an 8 x 40 WPII, Nitrogen filled and they cost $350 and I didnt shop around for a better price I wear glasses so eye relief and ease of viewing was really important to me as I just cant take specs off every time I want to glass like I had to with my cheapies. I watched a wattle bird at about 100m today in medium light conditions and I reckon with a bit of time could have given a positive ID on his breed. Colours were nice and clear, easy to pick him up and even hold the glasses with one hand
