Thanks Deaddog. Always helps to get stuff "straight from the horse's mouth" as the saying goes.
Have you or your crew had a chance to compare head-2-head with the Mystery Ranch packs?
I ask because I have the MR already, but I'd really like to know if the Barney is really worth "upgrading" to.
"If you want to hunt beasts you don't see every day,
You have to go places quite out-of-the-way.
You have to go places no others can get to,
You have to get cold and you have to get wet, too."
