    Best communication devices?

    True, but it seems like the longest range radio option with the most aftermarket and accessory support from what I am seeing, plus the skills and tech overlap a lot of useful scenarios. Around here there are a lot of repeaters, if I was going to go true wilderness hunt where it would not work...

    Do we overvalue sentimental value of our guns?

    This is a good reminder to make sure you go over over these things with your spouse and kids, and then do it again. I have guns that have been in one or the other of our families for at least 100 years, I would hate for those to get lost to the open market. Funny enough, my oldest daughter in...

    Best communication devices?

    I currently use some Midland FRS radios but am getting ready to transition to some handheld HAM stuff since my daughter just got license and is helping me through it. Lots of repeaters around here. Still doing homework on this though, and there are some very powerful and affordable options out...

    I just meant in the big scheme of things.....a ready to ship rifle from a custom maker can be in the $3K range all the way up to $7K (and plenty higher) depending on the maker and components. I guess to be particular if it is ready to ship it is not truly custom, but if it checks all the boxes...

    Best pack

    depends on the pack's intended use. I have had several BL and Eberlestock packs. In the big scheme of things they kind of suck for any sort of hauling and are heavy for their class. MR, SG, Kifaru, EXO and SO are all really good packs. I am trying to decide between Seek Outside and Hill...

    OK, well now that we have established that all custom gun owners are snobs and factory rifles don't shoot for squat.......LOL I am leaning toward a more affordable custom (the APR rifles look very nice for the money). Most of the upper end production rifles I am looking at are $2-$3Kish...

    You are absolutely correct, I would never have believed 10 or 20 years ago that the factory guns would should this well. It is amazing to me how far the industry has come in guns, glass and factory ammo.

    Fair enough on the brake topic but no, not being a badass. Just saying that going from braked 30-378 to braked 300WM was not going to be an issue in the big scheme of things. Actually, now that you mention it I have not ever seen an unbraked 30-378, sounds terrible LOL. I guess I should add...
