    Kifaru Ma Duece review/thoughts?

    Just buy it you won't regret it. Spent a whole yr with it now and its great. From 10 day sheep hunts to 3-4 day hunts to day hunts. It cinch's tight no matter what you have in it. The frame and how it handles loads have me very happy. This pack doesn't slip on me like my other ones I've had. Not...

    SG X-Curve Belt-Forward Pulls???

    Yeah same here, broke 3 of those belts already. The back buckle keeps breaking and have to replace the whole belt, can't just change out that piece. I'll give SG credit they have sent me a new belt every time but $20 shipping to Canada sucks. I have no butt and really have to cinch down when...

    Rifle care in Sheep country

    Tape the barrel and I run the butler creek flip covers on the scope and neoprene leupold scope cover and you are good to go. Just remember to remove trigger lock before you fly into a remote lake. Or you’ll be busting the trigger guard off to make the gun usable. 🤬 Sent from my iPhone using...

    Youth Bows: Hoyt Klash?

    My boys 14 and is shooting the hoyt klash. and has the 40-50 lb limbs. Its a crazy good bow and he's shooting it really well. I have it jacked right up and maxed out at 52 lbs. He shoots a 335 gr arrow at 220fps with it at 26" draw length, so not bad at all. Going to try for a bear with it this...

    Back profiles and what packs fit you

    flat back with no Butt - 6'1"-235lbs. The SG Xcurve was very comfortable but with heavier weights I couldn't keep the pack from sliding down, tried ever different adjustment over 4 yrs. The new Kifaru frame fits me perfect and will not slip or slide down, the belt and straps just fit me perfect.

    Stone Glacier Re-Warming Drill

    My real world has seen this many times, No I haven't jumped in a river on purpose but have been out soaking wet and needing to re-warm. Hiking all day in pouring rain, slipping in creek crossing, out for hrs in wet heavy snow, and resulted in being soaking wet from head to toe. First instinct is...

    Keeping charged

    Anker makes great batteries for decent price. I use 20100mah for the last 5 yrs. I charge my inreach, garmin watch and phone for the whole 10 days off it. At night I watch 20-30min tv show on my phone to wind down and it has enough to charge them all. I do have a goal zero solar panel that I...

    Swaro Ats 65 vs 80 for guiding

    I love my swaro 65 and have used on 5 - 10 day sheep hunts. I run the Sirui tripod with benro S2 fluid head, It won’t break the bank and is very solid and light. Great combo. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    KUIU DCS Guide Jacket vs Sitka Jetstream Jacket

    I have had the guide and axis but not the jetstream, and the guide is my least favorite, I sold it and got the Axis jacket. I like the axis for fishing and outdoor use but I really don't think its worth $500 cad to me, I don't take it on my sheep hunts as its not fully waterproof, If I had a do...

    Pack too large?

    Sometimes you have no choice but run a bigger pack for Day mode. I get flown in for 10 day sheep hunts with a SG 6900 and lots of times we set up camp and day hunt, Its good that it compresses decently but still a pain sometimes. That's why I use solo 3300 when day hunting around home as its...

    Hilleberg niak vs kuiu mountain star 2p

    I use it with my 14 yr old son all the time, If I go with a different group of guys sheep hunting I use it solo. I don't mind carrying 2lbs extra for the room gear storage and ability to dry gear in it as well. I'm also 6'1" and 235 lbs but it would be ok if you wanted to have 2 guys in it...
