    HPG Recon Kit Bag w/ Bino Pouch vs other bino harness

    Considering picking up a Hill People Gear Recon Kit Bag and adding a Bino pouch when one is in stock. I really like my original kit bag. The large footprint causes me to sweat, but also makes any load ride comfortably on my chest. I also like how easily I can carry a pistol when I want to. I am...

    Running with a Kit Bag

    Gonna grab myself an HPG kit bag of some variety - either the original or the runners. For those who have experience with these bags, how well would the original kit bag work for running with just a Glock 19-sized pistol and little/nothing else? Does it hold the pistol close to the chest without...

    Burris Fullfield IV?

    I know the Burris Fullfield II has been regarded as one of the better set-it-and-forget-it type scopes out there for zero retention. Today I went to Cabela's, and while they didn't have a Fullfield II, they did have an E1, which I believe is fairly similar. I looked at the 3-9x40. They also had...

    GoLite Shangri La 3 question

    I've been looking for a shelter that will be roomy enough for two but light enough for me to carry on my own. Since GoLite has come back from the dead (now called My Trail Co), I've been looking at the Pyramid 3 shelter aka the Shangri-La 3. Seems like a pretty great setup, with an inner bug net...

    Mystery Ranch Live Wing hipbelt vs the newerone

    I got a forestry internship for the upcoming summer, and I need a new pack. It doesn't need to be huge, but it needs to be able to carry loads of 50-60 pounds comfortably. Something with an internal frame. I have a budget of about $300, so I've focused in on a few packs that I've tried on that...

    Kelty Cache Hauler bag options

    I have a Kelty Cache Hauler that I unreasonably love, but I do wish I had a packbag for it. I'm not really a dry bag or duffel bag kind of guy - I would like something with at least a small amount of organization. The packbag originally made for the Cache Hauler is no longer available, and it...

    Meat hauler frames - which one?

    I'm looking at a few options for this fall, and I think I'm going to go with an under-$150 pack frame. Now the question is which one. There are lots of options, and the one I see most often online is the Kelty Cache Hauler, which I think has maybe been discontinued by Kelty but is still...

    Good all-around tent under $400

    My dream tent is double-walled, under $400, and under 4 lbs (maybe slightly above). This hypothetical tent can be used for summer backpacking as well as October elk hunts. Does it exist? There are lots of tents in my price range, but I haven't camped enough in foul weather to really know what I...

    seekoutside nest for two people

    I'm looking at different mid options, and I like the light weight and the modularity of the Lil Bug Out by Seek Outside. The idea of having two people (me and the wife) under the base in a nest with gear and dog under the vestibule is pretty appealing. However, most comments on the Seek Outside...

    summer backpacking pack under 4 lbs: ULA Catalyst vs Seek Outside Unaweep

    I know this is more of a hunting forum, but I registered because it looks like there are several folks here with experience using the Seek Outside (or is it Paradox?) Unaweep and Evo packs. I'm not much of a hunter, and I try to keep my total weight under 35 to 40 lbs, so massive load hauling...
