My cousin talked me into this. I was extremely skeptical - have been a horrible dieter my whole life - I always feel deprived and have to cheat. But I was already too heavy from a sedentary job/lifestyle - and then my husband left me and I packed on 15 extra "comfort food" pounds. So I figured - I'll try anything for 30 days. Also - another relative who is a medical doctor (internist) vetted the system and the entire ingredient list and gave it a thumbs-up so that gave me some comfort as well. Well, I lost 13 lbs in those 30 days and more importantly - I lost more than FIVE INCHES around my waist. I am a menopausal woman - you know how hard that abdominal fat is to lose at this time of life - I thought it was there for good! But all of a sudden I feel like the layers are just melting away - returning me to the person I remember being. I feel like a million bucks - all my pants fit (and are falling off) - I look hot - and I am STILL losing weight. Not as fast as the first 30 days, but it has been steady, and the inches continue to come off as well -- not just waist but arms and legs, my face is noticeably thinner, etc. I have found the diet super easy to follow and it fits in well with my lifestyle. I still go out to eat - I still eat treats (but I don't crave them anymore so when I do eat them I only have a bite or two and that is all I want), I still drink wine. I don't feel deprived. And I never feel hungry - in fact I often feel downright full, which makes it easy to turn down extra helpings and office birthday cake. Let me also say that I have not been exercising AT ALL - I continue to be really sedentary although I am planning to change that - so this weight loss is not aided by exercise/calorie burning. Time will tell if the weight stays off - but I have lost weight before and then rebounded. This feels completely different - very healthy and maintainable. It is kind of expensive - but the whole system works together amazingly well - I have stopped taking most of the other supplements I was taking (and I was taking a LOT of them) and I buy fewer groceries so it probably comes close to netting out. Anyway I can't think of an investment that has been worth more to me than recovering my health, my shape and my self-esteem.

I havent had the chance to really put this knife to the test yet on a deer but so far I am very pleased. The handle is very ergonomic and the plastic material seems to be very grippy, even when wet. The curved blade is awesome and was very sharp right out of the box. The sheath is a nice bonus as well. A great buy for the price!

Some hydration mixes are too sweet, or just don't have much of a flavor. The Glukos are just right, and have a great flavor. I like the powder sticks too, because it is the perfect amount for my water bottle.
