    Extra Camp clothes

    My reason for bringing "camp" clothes is so that sparks from the fire don't burn holes in my pricier hunting clothes... just a thought.

    What is the best sleeping bag?

    That's the direction I'm headed (just don't need the long/wide). The "failproofness" of synthetic is worth the extra weight bulk over down... in my opinion. Good Luck!

    Alternative for Sitka lightweight hoodie?

    Have you tried a chama from First Lite? I'd give that a try... Good Luck

    Does this Kuiu setup work for mid season elk nevada/CO

    Yes.... But like others have said, you'll want a rain jacket/outer shell. Good Luck!

    Which Pants to Purchase???

    I'd look at first lite. They fit much looser than the Kuiu ones. I'm a big fan of the First Lite Obsidian. Great Pant! Good Luck!

    Who carries a power bank? What are some high capacity/low weight models < $50

    I have used the MoPower from Amazon (I think it's $17 right now) for the past couple seasons. Probably not as durable as the dark energy ones, but serves its purpose for me.. Video on backcountry charging I did here: Backcountry Chargers Good Luck!

    Best pad?

    I'm a huge fan of the Big Agnes Q-Core SLX. Insulated, thick and comfy...hard to beat! Got it in the long/wide version. I sleep better on it that on my mattress at home. Good Luck!

    FL Pant Choice WY October Elk Hunting

    I'm about to give my Obsidians a run through the paces, so I can't comment on that side. But out of curiosity, what don't you like about the guide pants? For October/November they are my go to, but I'm not packing in for those hunts... The original kanab can probably fill some of your pant...

    Kuiu 1850 or 5200???

    Here's a video of my 5200 in daypack mode. Kuiu Icon Pro 5200 Day Pack Mode Take the 5200. You can put meat in the load shelf and in the bag if you need the space. Good Luck!

    Have both Yukon and Brambler. They are very similar and both work great!

    Kuiu Verde Status

    That's the plan. It's to be replaced with Verde 2.0... Correct. Right now it's there in Medium and Large Good Luck!

    Build me a system

    Spend money on a pack and sleep system first. Then look at clothing and other gear. There are a ton of videos at the link below that should help you get started! Good luck!

    3rd season colorado

    I hunt 28/37 during 3rd season - have for the past decade. Weather can be warm to down right freezing. So here's what I use/bring: Kuiu 210 Base layer, Kuiu Guide pants (or FirstLite Kanab 2.0), Kuiu Yukon Gaiters Kuiu 210 1/4 Zip, Kuiu Kenai jacket, Kuiu Guide Jacket (or First Light...

    School me on gaiters

    I'd look very hard at the kennetrek in either a L or XL. They were always too big for my chicken legs, but maybe they'll work. I used mine for a decade without a problem - just had to cinch them down as far as I could. The Mediums fit me better. I really like the Yukon gaiters from Kuiu, but...

    Kuiu pants fitment

    Depends on what pants. The Tiburons are tighter/higher rise than the attacks, and the guides are more roomy than the attacks... I actually find the sizing to be right on... Good Luck!
