    Shapecharge for treestand hauling

    It is just a rectangle of 3/4" PVC. It is not glued together. The PVC goes inside the main compartment and rests on the bottom. The top comes out the top. Run the existing load lifters over the top of the PCV. You can sorta figure it out from the picture even though the picture isn't awesome...

    Shapecharge for treestand hauling

    I agree. But most loads aren't that heavy and you aren't going that far/long. They may be 20-30 lbs. But they aren't 100 lbs like hauling out an elk. You can see my homemade load lifters (white PCV). They help a bit with the really heavy loads.

    Shapecharge for treestand hauling

    The Eberlestock X2 is an amazing pack for these hunts. It has 2 vertical straps and 2 horizontal straps. You can quickly and easily attach anything that might be needed. I've strapped treestands/steps, chair, or extra clothes. I even have a full size DSD buck decoy. I can strap the decoy...

    Wall tent or Tipi with Liners????

    For 3 nights, a wall tent sounds like overkill. They are crazy heavy and will require a fair bit of storage space for the other 362 days each year. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

    Wall tent or Tipi with Liners????

    Wall tent is much nicer and much more space. But it is also MUCH heavier. If you are always going to drive to camp, get the wall tent. If you have to hike in, get the tipi. I have a Kifaru 8 man tipi. My brother and I lived in it for 10 days in Alaska while moose hunting. It was an awesome...

    Packing moose: pack frames.

    I think 147lbs will suck with any pack Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

    Packing moose: pack frames.

    You could also get a Kelty Cachehauler. That is a great frame that would do well with a moose. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

    WTB Schrade Sharpfinger

    I did see a few on eBay. But I really don't trust the eBay sellers and I didn't see exactly what I wanted. I do trust the Rokslide folks. I also feel that the Rokslide folks might have real hunting knives that have been used and have been cared for...

    WTB Schrade Sharpfinger

    I'd like to buy a vintage, made-in-the-USA sharpfinger. It needs a decent sheath. It doesn't need to be perfect condition. A little character would actually be preferred...

    Wiggy's vs ???

    Wiggy makes a good bag. It is warm but heavy. But their customer service leaves a lot to be desired Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

    Liner to boost warmth?

    I have one and use it often. It is light and does make a huge difference. Cheap insurance, I think Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk
