The only flaw with Form's test is the sample size. Statistically speaking.
I also take his test with a grain of salt. The drops are excessive.
I don’t know man. When you write elk hunting stories about falling off snow cliffs to kill a rag horn. Expect people to believe the story and think backpack elk hunting is something extraordinary. Admit you are a rookie elk hunter, then a few years later you are the end all know all…maybe those drops aren’t excessive.
I remember that. If there ever was an exhibition of extreme ego that was it.
He went full Rambo on Montana elk..... it was epic............................... bullschit
I remember the Formidilosis hunting tales of yore. They were pretty over the top.The main issue I had with the guy is that he absolutely can not abide a difference of opinion. And it got a little hard to take him seriously sometimes with his constant high level of anonymity. If you want to use an exceptional amount of "work" experience as a kind of ultimate gear and technique arbiter, then you better eventually qualify exactly what that experience consists of. IIRC, it goes so far that if he does a pod cast or some such thing they modulate his voice. I have a couple of acquaintances who were legitimate operators and some work associates who work under cover, and they weren't prolifically posting all over the internet while also trying to maintain a kind of secret identity.
I will say that I've found most of his gear recommendations that I've tried and or had previous experience with to be on the mark.
