    Help me pick a tent color. No, really. I’m serious!

    I like the green/have a green Nallo. I found the green was a bit darker inside when sitting out a rain storm (made it easier to sleep). I have found brighter colored tents stay brighter inside and the red can give me a headache. Just a thought when light is shining through it. I’m not sure if...

    Help Me Pick a Kifaru Bag

    Cavern or Crater (kind like Hoodlum/Reckoning) w/ Guide lid (for bladder if you choose) and then add a couple belt pouches to the PALs on the back/bottom webbing for the quick access. Cavern/Crater have side-zip access in addition to the roll-top for getting in. Let's you strap gun/bow to back...

    Is classic hunting bolt action rifle dead or?

    Not a bolt action but how about a Ruger No. 1 in 7mm rem mag with walnut stock? I think that is pretty classic.

    Sub-$200 range finder

    Don’t bypass Sig Sauer rangefinders. I think they’re easy to use, have a few options in your price range and the warranty, which I tested unfortunately, is fantastic.

    Best Sub $350 Quilt (10*-20* range)

    Sorry for the late reply, I have to VPN to the U.S. from Norway to get onto Rokslide now. I have a 20* with no overstuff. I sleep really warm and have had it down to 25*. That's about as low as I'd run it with the setup I had. I was in a floorless tipi (no stove), on a Klymit Static V Lux...

    Pack size for 5 day

    All of the above is good advice. I would say that whether just backpacking or hunting I’ve never regretted or felt I had “too much bag”. If you try too hard to cram and pack really tight/compress all your gear real small, it slows you down and makes it tough when you are cold or tired or wet...

    Getting started - Arrows

    DEW has good feedback. I used a couple of the spine charts to get close and erred on the side of too stiff knowing I can add point weight. I started with aluminum since they were cheaper and I just wanted to get shooting. After that, you can spend a lot of time and money on trying different...

    Cold Weather Gloves - Tree Stand

    when I lived in Wisconsin I would wear rag wool or fleece glomitts. They worked well and I could put a hand warmer in the mitten portion.you can get the rag wool mitten for 15 bucks at fleet farm.

    Companies with Best Warranty & Customer Service?

    Sig had great CS for me. Dropped a relatively new rangefinder from my tree stand into a creek. It was trashed. I called them and asked if it could be repaired and fully expected to pay for it. They sent me a new rangefinder for nothing, including shipping. It made me a Sig optics fan and will...

    Shout out to BlackOvis

    Just wanted to post a shout out to BlackOvis for sending an email out about possible delayed shipping times around Xmas. I’ve always had great experiences with the customer service at BlackOvis. I appreciate their initiative in telling customers that there will likely not be guaranteed ship...

    Inreach mini vs zoleo

    I have an inreach mini and it’s worked really well for me. I don’t care for the setup or plan from garmin but the device works and held a charge for a long time. I think Randy Newberg had a Zoleo video posted recently.

    Kuiu Sizing??? XL Guide Jacket = What Size Chugach Jacket?

    I have a Kuiu Guide in XL and had the same question as you re: Chugach. I picked up the XL Chugach. It fits perfect for me. I’m 5’10.5” and 185lb. Average build. I would not have liked how tight the L would fit me. For me, in every upper body Kuiu product, I go up a size. Mostly because I don’t...

    Observation on the best binos conversations

    This isn’t a best glass question. It’s what works best for you. I’ve given up debating what the “best glass” is since it’s totally subjective.
