Tips on sharpening Varusteleka?
Just got this 85. Not very happy with how sharp it is. Anyone have experience of advice?
Noob Spotting Scope Question
Never owned one of these. Do people usually run the neoprene cover on these? Watching videos on youtube it seems like most folks don't run the cover if they're in the backcountry, but they do if they're just vehicle based. I'd be hauling it way up into the mountains on my back. I have a case for transporting it safely in my vehicle, this is just about how folks carry it for backpack hunting. Thanks for any input.
Abandoned House found hidden in a cave.
A sea lion in Argentina climbed onto a fishing vessel, found a bed, and passed out. The fishermen only realized it when they heard loud snoring.
How did I do?
Total novice. Looking to fish in the high sierras. Got the soft upgrade for the rod too, will install it when i can make sense of it .
Blackened Cajun Skin On Chicken Thighs with Artichoke Hearts and Green Olives over Angel Hair Pasta
This is a riff off a dish my dad made with green olives and prosciutto. First I de-boned the chicken thighs and butterflied them so they'd be an even thickness to cook. Set those aside, sautéed a yellow onion while dropping the angel hair pasta into the water to cook. Once the onions are done, set them aside and drop in the grilled marinated artichoke hearts and the sliced green olives with pimento to heat up. Once the artichoke hearts seem warmed through, add in some of the angel hair pasta and all of the cooked ingredients and toss thoroughly. Manage the amount of oil throughout the whole process per usual. When youre tossing everything together at the end, a little starchy pasta water might be useful to bring it together. Serve with a lemon wedge.
Does this count?
Freezer burned skinless boneless chicken thighs i found in the freezer, and a jar of marinated artichoke hearts from the back of the fridge. Deglazed with a tbsp of butter and a splash of old chicken stock I found in the fridge. Heated the artichoke hearts up in the pan too.
Question about the Wave + file
I cant seem to find a video or photo of both sides of it anywhere. Im looking to bring a leatherman mountain hunting, and I like the idea of a diamond file to maintain knife edge and a metal file to maintain something like an axe head.

What's the over and under on if I build, or blow up my bow?
Gonna try my first time building without my buddy helping. Place your bets below for if I break it, and if so, how many steps it will take me. Wish me luck.
Does anyone find this interesting enough I should make some posts along the way?

Im the idiot who posted the arm slap the other day. I was shooting a bow at the shop that was 2 inches more than my draw length. I only posted the string slap because I thought it was funny. I do alright. 30 yards bowhunter sight.

Interested noobie.
Hi everyone. Curious if anyone has advice on what shape of arrowhead might be easiest to aim for making myself with practice if I may want to hunt one day with something I made myself. There are so very many shapes of arrowheads and my knowledge is effectively none. I am a competitive compound bow archer and I have always had an interest in this sort of stuff. Even made a whole set of modern tools years ago but sort of hit a wall on sourcing materials I could afford besides glass bottles with the round dome issue. I also bought an Osage orange stave I plan to make a self bow with eventually. I checked the beginner sticky thread, great stuff. Its amazing what you all can do.
Do ropes go bad if stored in ideal conditions?
I bought a rope when I got into canyoning but never used it because I was always joining trips as a guest and never a leader. The rope has been stored in a plastic bin in a climate controlled storage shed for years. Do they go bad?
Thanks
