Looking at $1200 for a jacket and pants is a little hard to take but the stuff sure works well! It's always funny in the fall in Kamloops, half the town is walking around in camo of some sort.
Oh yeah, I have lots of nice gear these days, but I’ve slowed down on buying stuff and started being content with what I have. There’s lots of times I start adding up in my head the amount of money I have in gear inside my truck on the way to the range or on/in my backpack and it’s staggering. 2 items, a rifle and a spotting scope and I’m close to $10k, never mind the bag and all the goretex inside, lol.
but when I’m moose hunting I look like a bit of a hobo on my 15 year old honda foreman in a stanfield with my muck boots and the shittiest rifle in my safe.

If you don't read the newspaper, you're uninformed. If you read the newspaper, you're mis-informed.
