    Scarpa Kinesis Pro GTX vs. Lowa Tibets

    I have the Scarpa Kinesis Pro's and think they're awesome. They required very little break in and fit perfect. I wore them in rough terrain in Nevada in October and they did great. I bought some Lowa Evo Extremes at the 2016 Dallas Safari Club show because I wanted a lightly insulated pair to...

    Wilderness Athlete 28 day Challenge

    I too, had a bit of a revelation on a backcountry hunt. In 2015 I was up in the Ruby Mountains in Nevada. It's a tough place. I hunted with a 63-year-old guy and he made me look pretty useless. I was a bit embarrassed by it. I'm in my mid 40's and was in so-so shape but this guy clearly took...

    Lowa GTX Evo Extremes+UA Ridge Reaper set--both like new

    Lowa GTX Evo Extremes in US 10.5. Outstanding condition with only 16 inside treadmill miles and 20 residential sidewalk miles. No odor, still smell new. 200 grams Primaloft. Excellent shape with no issues. They just won't work for me; way too much heel slippage. They retail for $450 which is...

    Processor tossed my tag, forgot to keep it for taxidermy

    Yeah, good system but even that can go south. Another hunter in my camp packed out a few days before I did and took my deer with him. I stayed in camp a couple more days just to hang out. Anyway, he dropped off my deer at the processor's but also left my taxidermy tag with the meat by accident...

    Strange or unexpected things you've seen in the backcountry

    I didn't know that. Thanks for the info. They looked authentic to me. I had somewhat of a similar experience. I was in the army and out at the National Training Center at Ft. Irwin, CA. I went out late one night to conduct some business and I felt like I was being watched. I had not heard...

    Strange or unexpected things you've seen in the backcountry

    I've only been out west three times so I'm sure there are good stories out there with you guys. I was out in the Ruby Mountains last month and we'd just sat down on a rocky knoll to glass an opposite ridgeline. The sun had just come up. We heard a plane approaching at pretty low altitude and...

    Hard sided gun cases

    Just two months ago, I bought a 1750 for my first airline trip with a rifle. I had no problems and would recommended one to anyone traveling via airline. I don't think you have to cut out the foam but it's easy and I believe that's the intent. The least expensive I found a couple of months...

    Sitka Kelvin Down Hoody XL new/great price

    I have a Sitka Kelvin Down Hoody in XL essentially brand new. I've only tried it on a few times in the house. I decided it's just a tad bit "puffy" for my liking. It's a beauty, though. No holes, tears, rips, stains, smells or repairs. It comes with a bivy sack and is in Sitka's "Lead" color...

    Texas FNG

    Hi all, I'm a lifelong Texas hunter but a novice out west. I've made three western trips and my new goal is to head out west at least once each fall. I just discovered the site and I look forward to the forum and learning new things. Thanks.
