I often see people online and on this subreddit questioning why Luke would let Tom do YouTube and be so heavily involved if he wanted to leave the spotlight.
I think the spotlight was one part of it but another was he was being forced to spend so much time every week/other week outdoors filming, but not really enjoying the process of being outdoors.
Now Tommy makes the vids (and I’m sure Luke does a lot of the work) when they’re all doing these things as a family, not because you have to hit a weekly or bi weekly quota the enjoyment is there

Looking to upgrade my sleeping bag for something that will be warm enough on cool summer nights and ideally good enough for some fall and spring camping.
The price point is right for me so looking to see if anyone had experience with it

I’ve heard some issues with the pole inserts, wondering if these are a problem with the aluminum or just the carbon

I want to get the x dome 2 for my first backpacking tent. But I am concerned with durability, my understanding is that the solid is 20d floor instead of 15.
Is the extra floor protection worth it for the added durability? I also plan to use it with the ground sheet

So I posted before about picking between tents. I’ve come down now to two options after research and from all the comments etc.
I’m between the Nemo dagger/dragonfly 3p or the durston x dome 2.
Concerns are durability with the durston.
I want something weather proof and that will last me a long time

Right now I am between these two rifles

CVA cascade sr 80 308

Ruger American scout gen 2 308

I like the scout rifle concept for its lightweight design and shorter barrel for use in the back country, also as an alternative “battle rifle” considering we can’t get AR 10s anymore.

Biggest factor leaning me to the Ruger now is the full length rail, non proprietary mag, and shorter barrel

Super random but I was splitting wood today and I’m 95% sure it’s red oak. And it has a very noticeable smell of BBQ sauce, anyone else ever notice this?

I booked a trip to waikiki during a jellyfish warning in September (3rd to 10th). I had no idea this was a thing to worry about until 2 weeks after booking finding out this happens. How screwed am I? Was planning on swimming, snorkeling, and surfing.

So it’s been very difficult to decide on a hotel with all the options and my budget (CAD) I’ve narrowed it down to these 4 options

1. Luana waikiki hotel (1620$)
2. Queen kapiolani hotel (1790$)
3. Club wyndham royal garden (1590$)
4. Alohilani resort hotel (2000$) (this option is probably the nicest hotel but more money then I’d like to spend, but if it’s really worth it I will spend the extra)

Out of all of these what would you all recommend?

So I’m between two options right now.
I found a deal from a private seller for 1100 rounds of 556 and 223. Totalling about 600 rounds of brass cased 556, and 500 rounds of steel cased 223 for 550.
And online FOC has 1000 rounds of green tip PMC 556 for about 625.

So deciding which option is better, private seller ammo was stored in its original boxes in the basement with a dehumidifier. FOC stuff is of course brand new.
What option would you guys pick?

Been doubling up with my walker muffs and walker foam plugs but my ear canals are small so I can’t get the foam plugs to seat properly.
Anyone have recommendations for good DB protection foam plugs for small ears

I’ve got the camping bug (no pun intended) right now and want to check this park out ideally this month. Was just at silent lake this past weekend and the mosquitos were somewhat bad but manageable with a fire and thermacell.

Wondering how bad the bugs will be throughout this month and how the water quality is as I’ve read things about it being bad

Currently planning to get a tent for backpacking that will reduce my current size from my marmot tungsten 3p
My current options I’m considering are

Nemo Dagger Osmo 3p

Big Agnes copper spur

MEC spark 3

Marmot tungsten ultralight 3p

I want a free standing tent that will save me space in my pack

For those who have been here before what sites do you guys recommend as the best walk in sites

I know there are designated sites and first come first serve. How busy do these sites tend to get? Was planning to go next week potentially

Was looking to go here just wondering if it’s a particularly bad spot for ticks. Hate those things

Anyone have any experience with this Ammo? Wondering how bad/dirty it is for range practice
