    Hoffman Pac Boots - When do you use your Pacs? Win a free pair!!

    When I lived in CO, would wear them once the show stayed and sustained temps below 20. Now that I'm in MI, as soon as the mud starts in Oct. usually and through the winter.

    Shout out to 1 SHOT GEAR!!!!

    Grant also went the distance to help me out before my mid-Sept. hunt. He picked up my frame and met me the evening before my trip to make sure I had my pack in time. Best customer service experience in a long time. Thanks again Grant and 1-Shot!

    7 day hunt gear pictures

    I've got a similar plan this year but going in ~30min will save me a river crossing twice a day. Without that, I'd be at the truck, in a tent with a comfy cot and eating real food (w/ beer)!

    What water purification/filtration are you using for mountain hunting?

    I carry a Katadyn Hiker Pro or Base Camp depending on the trip and always have some Aquamira as backup. Conditions are mostly CO highcountry (~11k ft) in Sept.

    What is the deal with latex gloves?

    My thoughts- After days in the backcountry, I'm as concerned with what I might transfer to the meat while processing as I am with what might come my way. It could be a day or more before the meat is cooled sufficiently to inhibit bacterial growth (i.e. in a cooler), therefore the less contact...
