    I ordered the pinnacle jacket and love it, now it’s an every day piece the way it stretches with no biding anywhere and the arms are a little lighter weight material than the body. Can use as layer 2 or use it as an 3rd layer with the stretch. The hood is small and fitted but it is quite warm. Just ordered a second one for hunting only and still on sale. For me, this is the perfect layering jacket because it is so versatile.

      He is talking about each year he applies to every state and then he will have a solid tag available/drawn in at least one of those states for a given species. It costs about $1000 a year but provides consistently good hunts that would otherwise costs $10,000

    • @east2westhunts
      @east2westhunts 10 วันที่ผ่านมา

      As mentioned, he is mentioning the applications to each state and then rotating state to state depending on the year so he could pull a tag annually or at least you could hope based on draw statistics. In reference on how to fund an out of state hunt, that’s a tough one between cash flow and savings rates. Everyone is different. However, I believe you could pull off an out of state hunt for $1,500-2,000. I did a hunt this year out of state for $1,675 all in. That was split expense with a buddy on fuel and hotels/lodging so you could swing a few bucks in there if you had something more fuel efficient or didn’t use hotels and went the camp or truck stop route.

  • @iancurrie8844
    @iancurrie8844 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Thanks for this. I agree that the 50 can be darker at full magnification. In good light, though, it’s incredible sharp for its price. Now that it’s discontinued, cabelas/bass pro is blowing them out this Black Friday in Canada for $699 which I think is $499USD. That’s a steal given the price difference. It has a superior focusing mechanism, too. That gen 1 will accept swaro eye pieces too which this new one won’t. I prefer the first gen’s case/bag to the neoprene. I’ve got the gen 2 65mm and I really don’t get along with the neoprene.

    • @east2westhunts

    Centering Toaks on BRS might be a a fair test? Measuring fuel consumption, rather than just asserting one uses more than the other might be better too? Watch GearSkeptic's stove tests to see how your tests compare, as he does the BRS and some sort of 'finned' pot and several others, along with charts and graphs galore. In them, he shows that wind is the primary user of fuel, not the stoves themselves.

      Thanks for the feedback. Hate to tell you but the results are going to be similar between those 3, regardless of my 1/2 centimeter of the cup being off. Plus, out in the woods you are going to not have perfectly level surfaces. However, I have a plan to do one test just in burn rate of fuel and post that as well since that’s a great result to consider when deciding on what stove works best for someone instead of just the timing alone.

    When my son and I got into backpacking I got 2 BRS stoves and 2 Toaks pots for less than the cost of 1 Jetboil. It was a no-brainer. I love how light it is and still enjoy using mine. I have occasionally had issues with wind, but do my best to block it with rocks, my pack, my food bag, etc. I do appreciate the efficiency of the Jetboil, but just not a fan of the size, weight, or price. I have recently picked up a Soto Amicus which is probably more in line with the pocket rocket in terms of efficiency and wind resistance, but haven't had much opportunity to test it in the field. I also picked up a fairly large/heavy 1.5L Olicamp aluminum pot which has the heat diffuser thing on the bottom (kinda like a jetboil). I won't take it backpacking, but it is great for car camping as it helps to heat more water quickly.

    I’ve been running the BRS with a Stanley stainless steel cook set for a few seasons now. I can fit one of the the cups that comes with the Stanley set, the BRS burner, a small spice container and a small fuel canister inside the cook “pot” it’s been a great budget setup and bulletproof so far.

      That Stanley cook set is a great budget pot and is an absolute tank! Sounds like you’ve got a good system going.

    Very interesting, detailed presentation; very nice demonstration of the three different types of mini stoves! Great video!

    My oldest ugliest boy stole my Athlon 10x50's . Athlon amazed me for what they cost vs what you get. Argos G-2 HD $ 219.00 12x50 on Amazon will blow your mind. Absolutely blow your mind. I've been in the riflescope bino world for a long time. I've hunted and killed a lot of critters big and small. I was raised and mentored by a Cree Indian. I miss him every day. In the good ole days. There was a huge difference in glass. Today not so much. The Chinese slashed prices and improved on Quality. Now instead of just #5 brands that dominate. A $200 pair may be as good as a $1000.00 pair. Which is great for us little non important people. Not so good for the big #5. And in riflescopes it's an even bigger gap. couple brands to throw out there is Athlon and Sightron and G.P.O. so for $600.00 and less . You can have a riflescope that cannot be beaten. Unless you're one of these new Army snipers who think shooting animals at 1000 yards is Humane and ok to do. They have scopes now that have math problems covering the entire scope. You can't see out the thing because of all the math and slashes and do Hickys' . The Sightron 4-12-40 is $269.00 on Amazon. It's so clear it's just unbelievable. Plex. No clutter. They make scopes for all the want-to-bees. Athlon Talos 6x24x50 $229.00 as good as any. Had a Bigfoot almost end us one day. We were so far back into the mountains 2 men screaming was never noticed. Had a bear walk right up to me while I was sleeping. We were eyeball to eyeball. Been places so remote animals ran toward you instead of running away. Indians tend to put all their money in their gear and weapons and sit on bus seats. But if you can get something cheap that is actually as good as the expensive one. More power to you. Indians have no regard for laws or rules. There is no deer season or squirrel season. And you'll never see one buying a fishing or hunting license. John was free as a bird. There are things out there that will kill you. You have to have gear and guns you trust with your life. And it's getting cheaper by the day. Peace.

      The “oldest, ugliest boy has me cracking up!” Thanks for the feedback. I’m a big fan of Athlon. They made some great products for the price point.

    Great review; been looking for a thorough side by side comparison of a couple of these scopes and this covered all the bases. Any insight on how the Maven CS1 compares to the full size Vortex Razor 65mm?

    • @east2westhunts
      @east2westhunts 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I’ve had both. The maven is just as good, if not better than the vortex. You won’t be disappointed if you get the maven.

      @@east2westhunts thanks for the reply! Was hoping the Maven was the better choice, especially with the weight savings! You earned a subscriber!

      The 10x30’s use the CR2 3V The 16x42’s and 20’s use a AA battery
