Can you elaborate on what ‘barefoot’ means? Is that the type of sole in the shoe?

The unstructured Safety Third hat surprisingly became my favorite piece of FE Clothing and favorite hat period. I bought it hoping it would fit my fat head, and surprisingly it fits beautifully. I forget its there and it has become my go-to.

I own several Citizen Eco-Drive watches (their solar line). When I was in my 20’s and not a pseudo-watch nerd that I am now, they were my definition of a ‘nice watch’. I have a couple that are just over or approaching 20 years old and I’ve taken them all over the country and my Aqualand...

I already own one, and enough adapters to put it on just about everything I own, and future stuff I don’t own yet. Also have the Spartan Hoplite tripod and their Vidar Bipod and multiplier adapter. Don’t really need another at this point.

DEFINITELY practice shooting off of sticks. Was the biggest gap in my skill set on my first trip to Africa. Didn’t shoot prone 1 time, never a scenario when I could. Missed several shots off of quad sticks as I didn’t have any practice with them and wasn’t super comfortable with them. Bought...

The 4” is going to give you a little more velocity for supers, but not a tremendous amount. As a con, the 12” brings you into NFA territory. Not the issue it used to be with $0 ‘stamps’ beginning 1/1, but still have the paperwork and wait time. I personally have a 16” Fix w/6.5 CM barrel...

PLEASE make a future version with the upgraded automatic movement. I’ll be all over it like Pete is all over Adderall and gas station boner pills.

Likely no. I’m headed back to SA in May on the FE 4.0 Safari. Probably can’t pull off that and shooting school off just a couple months apart.

I drove to class from the Twin Cities in MN, my first adventure to SD, you’re not wrong!!

White Owl is the closest town, but it’s basically the middle of nowhere.

QB armband works great too, can print a little bigger or add more yardage intervals for longer ranges.

Finally got everything together to start shooting my Stag 10 Marksman AR10 in 6.5CM this past Spring. It might be the best AR10 you can buy for the $$. Can be had for around $1,500, easily shoots 3/4 MOA or better with Winchester Match ammo. I ran this at the FE Long Range Shooting School...

I tend to change my watches like I change my socks, but usually have a Longines Hydroconquest on when traveling or one of my Sangins on as a daily driver.

Some of my pictures from the 2nd session.

I’m in! This will be my 2nd SA hunt w/Field Ethos. Can’t wait to return!
