Some general rules that you'll want to cover include what your roster limitations are, how trades will work, how free agency works, what your scoring rules are, and how team disputes will be handled.

Set up your league schedule

Next up, you'll need to put together a schedule for your league. Because your fantasy teams are made up of real-world NFL players and your points are based on their performance in real-world games, your schedule should be set within course of NFL regular season. It's recommended that final game of your fantasy season be no later than second to last game of NFL regular season. This is because many real-world NFL teams rest their stars once they have qualified for playoffs. These stars are almost certainly same players that some of teams in your league rely on. Additionally if your schedule goes into playoffs, there is a strong chance that many of real-world NFL players on various fantasy teams won't have any active games left.

Whenever possible, you should try to create a schedule which allows each team to play every other team in league at least once.

Draft your teams

Now that you've got your commissioner, set up your rules, and put together your fantasy schedule you're ready to have your fantasy draft. The point of your draft is to let all teams in your league fill out their rosters in as fair and simple a way as possible.

Try to schedule draft for a time when everyone can attend and participate. In general live drafts make for a more community filled and fun league, but, especially at first, a live draft can be a slow and drawn out process. The more organized and structured you can make your draft, more fun each team should have and quicker whole process should go.

Play your games

Finally, you're ready to play your games! Submit your starting lineup, keep an eye out for possible trades or free agent pickups, gloat about your success, and trash talk to your league mates when they fail.

Most important of all, remember that fantasy football is a game and basic idea, whether you're winning or losing, should be to have fun. So enjoy!

How big should it be?

How big should I be?

There are three different styles of backpacks to choose from, depending on your scenario

The Day Pack-This is used for light loads that are usually carried on short distances such as day hikes and rock climbing. Some of more technical packs feature a waist belt designed to transfer load of gear to waist. These bags even can be used as ordinary school bags due to their appearance as well as their capacity, which range from 500 to 2500 cubic inches.

The External Frame-These packs are similar to Daypack except they have a metal frame and harness attached to exterior of pack for added stability. They are easy to pack and are relatively inexpensive. These packs are most effective when used on open, man made trails. They are not however, suited for skiing, off trail hiking, and climbing. These packs can range from 2500 cubic inches to 7000 cubic inches and feature an abundance of room on outside of pack to strap sleeping bags, Ground pads, small lanterns, tents, or other miscellaneous gear. However, these packs have a tendency to be less comfortable on longer hikes than their counterpart, The Internal Frame

The Internal Frame- This bag has frame built inside pack. The frame is usually made from, fiberglass, aluminum stays, carbon fibers, or a combination. Any of these materials can be formed to fit your body via natural curvature of back, offering only most comfortable fit. It works by transferring load of pack to harness system, thus placing weight onto waist. This pack was designed with veteran hiker in mind and is an excellent choice for all extreme skiers, alpine climbers, and off trail hikers. However, they have recently become very popular for every kind of use. The capacity of internal packs generally run about 2500 to 7000 cubic inches. The Internal frame packs carries sleeping bag on inside of pack, while external frame pack can carry a greater load than same capacity internal frame pack due to higher Cubic inch volume.

There are secondary straps on both External and Internal Frame backpacks. In industry, these are generally called compression straps, which pull pack and load closer to your body. What most hikers and campers find is that onboard compression straps give pack greater load adjustments, which alter way pack is carried. Most internal frame packs generally have more adjustments available and in turn are usually more comfortable. But notice that does not imply that external frame packs are uncomfortable, because they specialize in effectively distributing load to hips. Internal frame packs just give better contact with back. Some backpacks are customizable to fit certain torso sizes. To find out your torso size, simply take a flexible tape measure and wrap it around your midsection, then read dimensions in inches. Congratulations!! You now know your torso size.

Binoculars

If you notice that selection of binoculars that are offered at Weekender Gear have numbers in front of their descriptions. You may be asking yourself what these numbers mean. To illustrate this, we will use this example: Trooper Zoom 7-15x35

The first series of numbers represent magnification power of device. This example shows numbers 7 – 15, telling us that this device has an adjustable magnification capability, allowing user to see target 7 – 15 times closer than when using naked eye alone (the user, of course can adjust device until it is comfortable.)

The second number indicates diameter (in millimeters) of objective lens - in this case, 35mm. The objective lens is lens closest to object you're looking at (not lens that's closest to your eye). This is always a good indicator of binoculars' total light-gathering power, which will affect view of your target.
