    Fit of Kuiu pants

    I have tiburon and guide pants. They have a very true fit in the waist. Not baggy at all around legs. If you don't like an "athletic" fit in leg, it might make sense to order a bigger size. The pants also stretch quite a bit - I love the fit of all my kuiu stuff

    NEW REM ULTIMATE/Frontier Gander???

    I have this muzzleloader and shoot BH209. I shoot Remington Sabots and 100 grains (by weight). Seems to shoot well for me. Kicks like a SOB though.

    Anyone use the Rem Ultimate?

    I just set up my Rem Ultimate with a Vortex 1X scope for hunting in Utah. Loading BH 209 at 100 grains by weight with the Remington Barnes 250 grain sabots. I just sighted it in and shot a few times. Haven't chronographed it yet. It seems pretty accurate. This sucker kicks!!! Not the gun I...

    light weight tarp

    Research Tyvek tarps. Dirt cheap and totally light and durable. Backpacker magazine recommended it and I'll never go back.

    What do you carry in your pack?

    I carry a thermarest seat cushon. Makes hours of glassing a lot more comfortable.

    SPOT Emergency locator

    They new SPOT should be in stores soon. It seems like a lot of bugs are worked out, better GPS, faster signal, smaller, etc. That's the one I'm waiting for.

    Rifle Zero's

    AWLBull -- yeah they're hand loads. 104.5 grains of Retumbo. No pressure signs either. Hodgdon's website says 105 is max for that bullet. I only lost about 150 fps going to 200 vs 180 grn Accubonds. I think it's worth it.

    GPS?

    +1 on the Rino 530HCX. A great buy with rebates. Check out Amazon.com. I like the 24k maps.

    Colorado is trying it again.

    I'm sure the all lead bullet thing will go over great with the environmentalists. Just hope the California Condor doesn't take up residency in CO.

    Leather Treatment for Boots

    Cabelas has their own brand, I've seen others at footwear stores. The stuff I have now is made by Justin Boots. I think they're all the same. The applicator is attached to the lid by a 4" peice of metal wire. The "cotton" may not be cotton at all, maybe nylon/poly. No it doesn't get all...

    Leather Treatment for Boots

    The "greasy" reference was regarding beeswax, oil, etc. I think campdry is awesome stuff. It dries just like the liquid stuff with the cotton applicator.
