Wondering if anyone could recommend their favorite beard/ mustache creams. I’ve used Grave Before Shave for years now but they only have a few of their scents in the cream version so I’d like to venture out and try some new ones

I don’t love balms/ butters because they stay on forever and then I find myself tasting it every time I take a drink or eat. Turns out they don’t taste as good as they smell.

I’m wondering if you guys know of or have used any companies that make rashguards in America OTHER than origin? I’m not sure why but they give off a huge douche bag cult vibe to me ( maybe I’m completely wrong) so makes me hesitant to support them

Been a flyers fan since I got into hockey in 2012. They will forever be my favorite team but I’d like to start following a secondary team too. I think it would be fun to start getting into another team and have more invested in other games when my flyers aren’t playing .

Initially I assumed I should just pick a western conference team however I’m a grandpa and can’t stay up past 10/1030pm to save my life even on the weekends. Never getting to watch the team live wouldn’t be very enjoyable .

Just wondering how you guys went about picking your 2nd team.

I’m looking for a low cut waterproof muck style boot for this upcoming season and I’ve landed on these 2 models . I’m wondering if anyone has used them and how you liked them.

I hunt sitting 99% of the time but I will need them to be somewhat stabile and athletic feeling because I don’t own a 4 wheeler or anything to drag the deer out , I do it myself so I can’t have my ankles twisting during the process lol.

Looking at getting a used Mathews v3 27 for a good deal.

Anyone currently shooting one or have in the past ? It was incredibly light when I held it and just pulling it back the let off was incredible. It was easier to hold the v3 at 70 pounds than my chill is at 60.

Long story short, in September my wife and daughter are going to a concert in state college. We figured my son and I could tag along too and just do our own thing .

Looking for any recommendations on good food spots and just activities to do in the area.

I’m a pretty boring / simple/ oldschool hunter. I still use my 2013 mathews chill. I hunt from a chair on the ground. I don’t use the latest and greatest camo, just warm flannels and some Walmart wrangler hiking pants.

Seems like all the hunting magazines and shows are nothing but ads for companies. I get it,
These guys are trying to make a living . But it all seems so fake and inauthentic to me.

Any magazines or journals or even just singular people out there you guys are reading that still have cool stories to tell? Im a big Donnie Vincent fan if that helps, love his documentaries.

Getting back into archery after a few years away. This season I’d like to hunt from the ground , on a chair. I’m wondering if there’s anyone else on here that does this and what tips you have , what chairs you have used and like etc

Recently ( as in this morning lol) added sprints into my kids workouts. Gonna throw them into my routine also.

I bought some simple little orange training cones. Set up 4 of them. You go to first cone, come back, second cone, come back etc. something we used to do in gym class I forget what we called them.

For those of you who are doing similar training, how many rounds have you found to be the sweet spot for fitness adaptations?

Today I had them do 4 rounds, I figure I’ll stick with that for awhile and have them try to beat their times. Then after a few months go to 5 rounds. I don’t want to go to much past that as I want this to be a high intensity but pretty sure workout . 1-2 minutes rest between rounds

Recently got my first full suspension and it’s a mullet setup. Only
Have 2 rides on it so far totally 12 miles but something I’ve noticed ,

The rear tire wants to “kick out” way easier than the front and way easier compared to full 29” I’ve had in the past. Is this pretty normal? It might be a “yeah no shit” thing for alot of you haha but im very new to this.

I don’t notice any difference when going straight or even over things like rocks really if im going in a straight line. But if im cornering or doing any type of maneuvering over roots the rear likes to get loose pretty quickly.

Starting to realize I’m taking on more hobbies than I can fit into 5 days. Lifting, running, mountain biking, jiu jitsu, rucking .

I can definitely just alternate stuff on different weeks but I’m also thinking screw it maybe I’ll just try for 6-7 days a week when my schedule allows and then when it’s busier I can throw in rest days

Recently have decided to cut alcohol out of my life for awhile. I’ve never been a huge drinker, 4-6 drinks a week max but lately my body has just started “rejecting” it and it doesn’t matter if I only have a few, I sleep like shit and wake up feeling awful.

Over the last couple weeks I cut it down to 2 drinks a week and then this past week was zero , I’ll continue that on for who knows
How long.

Anyways, I ran my typical course by my house today . I found that despite a faster average pace than usual, my average hr was a few beats lower and also even while pushing up the climbs my hr never got to where it normally would, it was a good 10 bpm slower than it typically
Hits . I’m also noticing my legs feeling fresher than normal. It’s letting me get more runs and mountain biking in.

Has anyone else noticed this change in their runs once they stopped drinking?

The previous 2 years I tried getting into mtb. Bought Roscoe 7’s each year and just didn’t like the experience. I would ride it a couple times, sell it . Repeat . But something kept bringing me back to wanting to try it. So this year I said fuck it and balled out on a Stumpjumper fox coil. I don’t regret it one bit.

The ride experience is entirely different and it makes riding so much more enjoyable. It eats up way more stuff than the hardtails could and I don’t feel so beat up after ride .

I often see lots of posts about budget bikes and trying to be smart about the money when you’re just getting into it. But on the flip side- sometimes just sending it and buying the most bike you can afford works out too

How often are you guys using paused and tempos as a means to get some quality work in? Maybe you only have access to a limited amount of weight or maybe you’re trying to limit the weight you need to use? Considering doing this for RDL’s. I’m starting to get to the 275+ mark on them and they trash my lower back something fierce. Thinking of dropping a decent amount of weight and really slowing down the reps with a 3 count tempo with a pause at the bottom.

Coming back after a few years away. Last few pairs I had were just vans peak( which don’t seem to be made anymore) and the beefed up “skate” versions of the vans old skools . Wondering what everyone else is using

And yes, I’m aware that they make mountain biking flats but honestly they’re ugly to me and looking cool is 80% of the battle

I’ve been looking at the stumpjumper fox coil edition. However I’ve seen some discussions online about how coil shocks aren’t good for
The stumpies , they apparently bottom out too easily and put too much stress on the frame which could lead to cracking?

Does anyone know if this problem has been addressed? Is there something different about the fox coil that would negate this issue?

Sidenote- I’m not some highly skilled rider that would be putting the bike through all kinds of torture .
