How is your vision with the over glasses? I've tried overglasses for shooting and my visual acuity and depth perception was off.

Go to the Opticus website. Thats where I bought mine.

I am in the market for a marine band radio. I do a fair amount of paddling by myself. About a year ago, I got into a bit of trouble. Luckily, i was able to get back to the launch site safely but I was exhausted by the time I got back. Situation gave me reason to pause; what would have...

Actually I am surprised this product is still on the market. Its not used by the military anymore because of the adverse side effects; intense heat and burning

Honestly, I never had very good luck using it. Maybe for very very small lacerations. The military clinic I work in stopped carrying it. What I have found that works much better is Drysol. This is a super deoderant used for excessive sweating but works great for hemostasis.

IV antibiotics can be done on an outpatient basis. I can't imagine any insurance would pay for 30 days of hospitaliztion just to get IV antibiotics than can be infused over 30-60 minutes. You get a PICC line put in (peripherally inserted central catheter) This IV is threaded from a vein in...

I agree with Jay. The mountainman kayak weekend in Old Forge is a great place to try out kayaks and paddles. Some yaks are tipper than other, some sit high in the water, some sit low, cockpits are different, some are easier to paddle than others. I bought mine there several years ago and...

Yes police can use excessive force. Yes police make mistakes. But if I am fearful in a situation and I am afraid of bring attacked, raped, murdered I am going to call the police. Period. I am not going to give the person invoking these instincts the benefit of doubt. At the risk of sounding...

Maybe its a female thing but I would have done the same thing. I'd rather a cop come and check out the situation then I get raped or worse. Anymore when I go trail running or hiking by myself I let a friend know when I am going in the woods and text them when I get out. If I don't contact...

I hiked/trail ran solo in several countries in Europe this summer and felt safe. Safer than I did when I lived in Philadelphia. I met many locals and other foreigners along the way. I had alot of good conversations and actually hiked with some of local Slovenes. When people found out I was...

Whats just as annoying as not finding pants that fit is the tops that just are not long enough and ride up underneath the hip belt of the pack

Finding womens clothing is even worse when you are short. I' 5'3 and everything is usually too long. In the winter i just my Precip rainpants over a long john layer. Usually patagonia light or mid weight pants. If it's really cold (below zero) I'll put a pair of fleece pants on too. I have...

I agree Chaco. Yoga with food in the belly is very unpleasant

Try getting the foam blocks and straps used in yoga. These devices can help you get into postures and hold them longer without compromising the posture. I need to use them because even with doing yoga religiously, I am not a flexible person. I also though Bikram was done in a warm studio...

Supposedly spraying a mixture of 3 parts vinegar to 1 part water on the windshield at night will prevent frost from forming. The acetic acid in the vinegar raises the melting point of water....

No not retired.Wish, I colud hke more. i'm a physician assistant who is still working. i just got burned out doing pain management (4 yrs) and went into a different specialty. i'm now doing family practice. honestly, i encourage my patients to try alternative/different treatments...

In the medical field 20 years ago is a long time. Advancements in technology and medicines can make research obsolete. Some of the articles mention things like facet joint injections (actual joint is not injected usually the median branch nerve to the joint is anesthetized) and discography...

Interesting though when you look at the references many are quite old dating back to the 1950's and older. There is not really any recent research listed. I am not sure how "rigorous" research criteria were 20 or 30 years ago.

I also have Raynauds and use warmers on all my hikes. I too have had duds. I always carry an extra set just in case. I thought it was just me with the duds.

Darn I want to hike but only have off the weekend. Have fun.
