    I cut up a brand new Stryker!

    For years I’ve wanted a camp bag setup with a smaller dayback/load sling for elk hunting. I started with the original Kifaru Nomad. But, the tube pockets just didn’t work well for my setup. So I sold it. Then I bought a Exo Beavertail and had @Squirrels add a bunch of pals webbing and a few...

    Bikini vs New Duplex Frame

    I currently have a Bikini that I've been running for 2 seasons now, and really like it. However, I have experienced what most searches indicate on this forum regarding the reduction of comfort of the Bikini as you go up in weight (80+lbs). I'm trying to figure out if the loss of comfort can be...

    Why Are Hiking Boot Soles So Stiff?

    I totally understand having stiff material around the ankles to support your ankles and prevent injury, but why such a stiff sole on most hiking boots? I'm beginning to come to the conclusion, after countless miles of rucking, in preparation for this years elk season, that I have been duped...

    Water Proof Hunting Boots?
