Questions by not-so-anonymous Instagram users. Answers by Jason Vincent.
Our Instagram Sunday Q&A is a weekly—or semiweekly depending on JV’s mood that day—chance for you to interact with our team directly. Ask whatever you like; insult us if you please; just don’t go crying about it when JV puts you in your place.
For those of you who are not completely inept, your answers will be swift and educational, leading you to knowledge akin to that of the ancient philosophers who helped drive our species from the Stone Age to modernity. That last part may not be true, but we sure as hell will give you our opinion and help you with whatever problems need solving.
We decided to post these Q&As here so those who had something better to do than look at Instagram on a Sunday afternoon or are dedicated to their craft and actually work Monday morning, can revel in the glory and enjoy some much-needed humor, quality product recommendations, and possible links to Schoby’s OnlyFans page.
*If you are assigned laps, these are not optional—all laps are mandatory and need to be filmed and sent to the Field Ethos Instagram account upon completion. Lap distance is arbitrary; only you know the full weight of your stupidity. Go the distance that feels right.
Q: Has the gimp applied to JP Morgan yet?
A: No, but they called us for a reference on @petercorreale this week.
Q: Best .22 LR/Mag suppressor in your opinion from experience?
A: There is no best, but the Rugged Suppressors Mustang is one to look at. Modular. We have one and it’s great.
Q: Can we get a date on the Jim Green x FE boot drop?
A: No.
Q: What’s a good upland boot you guys use? Thorogood wing shooters?
A: You’re literally just walking outside so any boot that you would wear to walk outside will work.
Q: Why the hate for BHA?
A: Because their approach to life in general is insufferable. @backcountryhunters, you guys are the worst.
Q: Half Face or Montana Knife Company for my dad’s birthday?
A: Half Face Blades.
Q: Ineos vs 70 Series cruiser? What’s your pick?
A: The Grenadier is definitely more capable off road, but the Toyota Series 70s have had the time to prove their longevity. Time will tell.
Q: Favorite metal-framed hammer-fired gun that’s not a 2011?
A: The new Steyr Arms AT line is hard to beat.

A: The HPG people must’ve gotten lost in those H’s. The re-up is taking forever.

Q: Recommendations for a light for a G-17?
A: SureFire.
Q: Bring a soft case for Crusaders PG hunt? Also, leaving in six days, any last advice?
A: No soft case but take a sleeve or sock for your rifle. Also take wet wipes.

A: I think your question is enough. Green decoy. Stay tuned on this one.
Q: FE approved running shoes? (Can we get a collab called The Lap?)
A: You asked your fiancé for permission to buy an Omega. It will be even more embarrassing when you ask her if you can buy our lap shoes. Put your head down and give us 3 more today.
