    2018 Buck in velvet

    Been off the interweb for a while with a toddler, life in general and some home improvement the past few months. But back on RS tonight, thought I’d share my 2018 buck. Pretty uneventful deer...knew he was in the area via cameras and visual sightings since mid July. He had a route he took most...

    Ground blinds?

    Looking to get back into hunting whitetails this fall and will probably be with my Wife for a decent amount of that. Long story short, I see some ground blind hunting in my/our future. I've never hunted out of a blind before but I see myself buying a couple for us. Whats everyone use? And...

    Dumb Bowtech question...help needed.

    I'm a Hoyt guy but I do have a little shop in my garage and I do work for friends. A buddy has a Bowtech RPM360 that he needs some work on and he said his old shop "pressed it wrong and something broke and they bought him this bow as a replacement..." He doesn't even know what broke and the shop...

    What stab does everyone shoot?

    Tried a search and didn't get anything and it's been mentioned and sprinkled amongst the slew of stab threads recently. I'm not looking for balance ratios but really just what are you using to hunt with. I've recently gone from single Carbon Blades to working with a side bar and having fun...

    Mountain Hardwear EV2 four season tent.

    I know this isn't a big single wall, floored tent crowd, but I'd like to sell it here rather than eBay. MH EV2 two man, four season tent. What can I say? It's bomber, sub-five pounds and the tent body will pack down to nothing. I got it because I can pitch it in two minutes via external poles...

    14'r/Tarryall/Woodsman for day/upland/whitetail?

    14'r/Tarryall/Woodsman for day/upland/whitetail/turkey? I've got big, hauling Kifarus and am now looking for one for throwing dead ptarmigan and rabbit into, whitetail hunting (carrying heavy insulation layer to/from tree stand, food, calls, small crap...) I literally have a Woodsman/Duplex UL...

    Can anyone confrim Kifaru Ranger Green...

    Can anyone confirm that Kifaru Ranger Green UL Duplex and Woodsman still come in green fabric with CB webbing as shown on their site? I read in another thread that Kifaru has in the past initially released new gear with contrasting colors and then later build them monochromatic...I like the...

    Sitka Timberline jacket?

    Anyone seen the Sitka Timberline jacket yet? Thoughts? I like softshells for some applications, and it weighs less than the Jetstream, so... Pit zips?

    Free-standing vs non-free-standing?

    Free-Standing like most conventional tents or non-free-standing like a Hilleberg? I see a lot of four season bomber tents as non-free-standing so I guess there's something to be said for that design. Forgetting weight and/or price, pros and cons for each in a four season tent...

    WTB old Kuiu puffy Vias

    I just like the Vias camo and am looking for an older puffy someone might have laying around that they want to get rid of or upgrade. I won't be hunting in it, just wearing it around town and I even like the older "swoosh-swoosh" nylon material over their new stuff. I'm a big boy, and wear XL...

    Duplex UL Review

    Got my 26" Ultralight Duplex a few weeks ago and have put some miles on it. First impressions, out of the box were that I really liked what I saw, and whoa is it light. I run it with cargo panel and pockets down the inside and outside as a day pack that'll carry my bow protected and rain gear...

    Komperdell poles...quality and service.

    So Black Diamond and Leki are popular, as are those $20 poles form Costco. I've owned BD, and have a pair of BD Pure Carbons now. But I also have a pair of Komperdell Carbons and they're awesome and I use them over the BDs. Lighter and better shock absortion than the BD's and made in Austria...

    WTB Kifaru for EDC

    I carry this stupid 5.11 backpack to work now, with my uniform, lunch, water, crap, etc. I want to carry a proper bag. So...Kifaru X-Ray, Antero, Zippy...what? What you got? Beat up? Gen 1? It's only got to carry my daily crap...it won't be packing a moose.

    So what's the verdict on the UL arrow stays?

    I read the New Frame thread and there were a couple of reviews in the last few months, but now that they've been out and people have used them, what's everyone think of the UL arrow stays? They carry heavy loads ok? I've got a standard/normal back in my Duplex with composite stays, so are the...

    Current turn around time on Kifaru frames?

    Site says two weeks...is that accurate? Trying to decide if I want to order now or after I get back from a trip... Anyone order recently and get a two week ship date? Thanks.

    Knee brace for hunting?

    Long story short, I fell again and reinjured my ACL graft. "Only" a partial tear, but a tear. I can't get it repaired and healed before hunting season so I'm going to try to hobble through with a brace and see what happens. So those of you who've hunted in a knee brace, which one did you...

    ACG: Original vs Kodiak CUB?

    Currently running the original AGC with my Leica 10x42's. Of course it's great and all that. My question is relative to the new Kodiak size and the bungee system. Who's used both and which do you prefer? Buckle vs bungee? Standard compartment vs the smaller model? I really like that...

    Survival knives?

    Who all packs a dedicated survival knife while hunting? I don't mean just a knife in general; we all do, but a dedicated full size survival knife like an Esee or a Benchmade Bushcraft that is not intended for skinning or game, but is for chores or actual survival. And then who here uses a full...

    Sitka Fanatic fit?

    I'm a big boy. But (maybe) fortunately, most of the time, my limiting factor are my arms and legs. I'm normally an XL, but in the Sitka Jetstream and Stratus jackets, I have to wear XXL because the sleeves are skin tight in the XL. But those aren't exactly cold weather garments meant to layer...
