    Pellet Gun Setup

    I’m kicking around getting a high powered air rifle for Raccoons/armadillos. Have some that are driving me nuts :D

    Compound bow on a mountain bike

    Definitely do it that way and see if you like it. I’m a mountain biker already and use the trailer for other things like carrying tools for trail maintenance. A trailer, even a used one, is lot of money just to try something.

    Compound bow on a mountain bike

    I’ve had mine for a long time and I like it but every situation is different. Sometimes a trailer is a good solution, sometimes it isn’t.

    Athens Archery Closing Down

    I used to buy parts there too but it got to a point where it seemed like every time I went to look for something the prices were just getting silly. To be fair to them though, the cheap guns I grew up with were largely made in the 50’s-70’s. There aren’t nearly as many of them around these days...

    Quitting coffee

    Not everyday but I drink tea quite a bit. Black/Chai tea I drink English style with milk added. For non-caffinated tea I drink the various fruit teas, raspberry, blackberry, citrus, etc. The times I've stopped caffiene all togetther I find my energy level is more steady through the day...

    Not meaning to open a can of worms - cross loading carabiners

    Wow! I sure opened up a can of worms with my cycles to failure comment. So much much for trying to briefly summarizie the concept in a couple sentences :D

    It would take so long when used within design parameters. You can think of it as the number of load cycles till failure. As the load reduces, the number of load cycles it takes to break it increases exponentially. By the time you get down to the safe working load (WLL) it takes millions of cycles.

    I hear ya, I'm a retired Arborist myself. The good thing is that safety and using quality gear climbing is mainstream now, that wasn't always the case in the SH community to put it mildly. My personal opinion is that non-climbers have never seen or experienced a climbing accident happen before...

    Not meaning to open a can of worms - cross loading carabiners

    Agreed. Professional tree climbers put infinitely more wear and tear on carabiners compared to hunters. I don't think I've ever seen a picture on here of climbing gear that even looks broken in, let alone in danger of fatigue failure :D

    Not meaning to open a can of worms - cross loading carabiners

    Fortunately in this case there’s lots of different safe ways to skin the cat. In the pre safety days of Saddlehunter people “100% trusted” some pretty sketchy stuff :D
