    I see you western folks always rocking the tarps, floorless shelters, and tipis. Are there not spiders, ticks, and other bugs and bugaboons for which you are concerned?

    Posting photos help?

    I read the FAQ's and can post very small thumbnail images, but can't seem to figure how to post the full size pics that I see others. I just started a Google photo page, but when i try the all that shows is the link. What am I missing/doing incorrectly? Thanks for the advice.

    The Best Treestand Hauling Pack (Sort of)

    Since I've been reading posts and questions about which pack to use to carry a treestand, I figured I would share how I make it happen. This is an idea that I did not develop myself, but came across from much online reading, and cannot recall the exact source, but am passing along that info...

    1000D Guide Lid Chlorine/Chemcial Smell??

    Hi everyone. I picked up a guide lid a few months ago now in 1000D gray wolf. Then- and still now- it has a very pungent odor- like a chlorine gas type of smell. I tried to air it out quite a bit, but it still persists. At first I thought it was "new lid smell", but now I'm concerned that its...

    Trad bow quiver suggestions?

    I've been using a safari tuff for a few years now. I do like it but it's not the fastest for follow up shots- especially when hanging from the treestand hook. I've looked on and off for a bow quiver for a 64" one piece longbow, but could never decide on anything. Any suggestions for a solid...

    I'm looking to purchase some webbing to have for attaching various pockets, bags, etc. to my Duplex frame. Upon my searching, I see there are many types of webbing available: For a Kifaru pack, should I be looking at 1" nylon webbing? (as opposed to polyester, or polypro) Could one direct me...

    koala lite setup (v hpg)

    Hi folks I'm a bit ashamed to admit it, but I've been using an EMS fanny pack to carry my firearm on backpacking trips. Although the packbag is setup nicely, it gets in the way of putting on/taking off the pack, and well, its a fanny pack. I've been looking at the Hill People Gear and Koala...
