    Layering system help

    Lots of great info in this thread already. Great to see. The big front runner brands are starting to master the layering idea. Kuiu, Forloh, Sitka, stone glacier ext…. Take the time to figure out what particular items in a layering system works for you. The challenge I find is that it’s almost...

    7mag vs 30-30

    7mm hands down. Adjust your load and projectile to suit your distance depending on distance to bait. Also run an optic that works both out to 300yards and in to 30-40. When I hunt with my 7mm I carry a few different types of rounds depending on the situation. Learn your animal and learn to...

    Sitka Dew Point Pant Verses Kuiu Northridge Pant

    Anther note. Outer fabric- I’m not sure what denier the northridge is. They use a Toray Polyester with FUJIX RESILON stretch thread. Maybe somebody could school us a little here but I’m at the understanding that polyester doesn’t stretch/grow when wet but is weaker than the same weight nylon...

    Sitka Dew Point Pant Verses Kuiu Northridge Pant

    My buddy has a north ridge set and he said he tore it hiking with the dog pretty easy. He also hiked for a few hours with it in some good Westcoast rain and said it felt like it was about to wet through (not sure what that mean?) it could have just felt like that as it’s thin. He recommends...

    KUIU vs SKRE customer service

    I second the 10/10 for skre. I am inside Canada which helps. Ordered a full set and shipped quick. Unfortunately it’s didn’t fit my racehorse style body. Pants were too baggy for my skinny legs (my preference) and the jackets don’t have a tall option, so to get the right sleeve length I had...

    Dropping weight on a rifle

    Honestly I don’t notice the difference between carrying my light rifle to my heavy one. Eventually the both get heavy as the miles get long. The best thing I can do is train. Any rifle under 9lbs is a beauty. I also notice I had to change my shoot technique with a light rifle. Took quite a bit...

    A place to sleep

    Second the wood heat. It has to be the best thing there is. Nice and dry. Honestly hard to beat canvas wall tents as a base camp. They breathe really well. Been in some wet and cold base camps and there’s nothing better than waking up warm and dry after a long wet evening the night before.

    Best athletic fit hunting pant for slim people?

    Bah ha ha ha. I’m more of a straight up bacon guy. Eat a pound in a sitting for breakfast. Why open a pack if your not cooking it all??? 🤷‍♂️ Believe you me. I’ve tried to pack on weight. I’m one of those guys that can eat whatever whenever and I fluctuate 5lbs. Even after 10days and 150+k of...

    Longest Sniper Shot Record Broken?

    The first thing that’s lost in war is always the truth. I believe half of what I see and even less of what I hear when it comes to that BS.

    Best athletic fit hunting pant for slim people?

    Thanks. That’s a a new one to me. It seem a lot of people love the old ones. The Zion 2 isn’t that popular and they brought back the Zion 1 but apparently the fabric isn’t the same and sizing has been somewhat inconsistent. I notice they make a slim fit Zion which look perfect for a guy like...

    Hear great things about Fjallraven. Thanks. I think that may be my next try and then maybe try Forloh. Why do you use Vidda over the Keb?

    Best athletic fit hunting pant for slim people?

    These do sound fitting. Thanks. By the website I would be a 38 which has a 35” inseam. Nice and long! Has solid colours with leg vents with mesh to stop debris. That’s a great feature. I have worn pants with leg vents before that didn’t have mesh and the bug bits and debris were pretty annoying...

    Nice. Thanks Nelson. I’ll take a look at them. By chance what are your measurements that ended up being tight?

    Skre Gear Price Drop

    Second Bump79’s comment. Love the quality and company but the pants feel like I’m a fan man at the front of a car dealership. A slightly more fitted option would be awesome. One would think that most people whom are buying technical mountain gear are slim, but I could be wrong as there is a big...

    Fjallraven or Kuiu?

    Skinny jeans? Can you tell us what size you ware and what you measure? True waist, inseam, thigh, calf?
