    Sitka Rant - disappointed

    I might have missed a few responses but I noticed people were saying that Sitka did nothing. They offered to send a patch free of charge to strengthen that section of coat. Also I would say there is a difference between the durability of the inside layer vs the outside layer. I have had many...

    i'm thinking about Titanium Chopsticks.

    Just to muddy the water a bit more... A few years ago I read an article saying that single use chopsticks is actually a product that the US is the major producer of and exports to other countries. The flip side of this is that the timber production is destroying large chunks of habitat for...

    What College courses to increase hunting odds??

    While there isn't a course that focuses on those 3 animals you can broaden your knowledge on the other stuff and then start seeing where the pieces fit in. I would consider ethnobotany, dendrology, ecology, GIS, and any local ecosystem or plant course. Sent from my SM-G950U1 using Tapatalk

    Sitka stormfront vs thunderhead pants

    My partner and I did a kodiak goat hunt 2 years ago. During that trip I had bought the stormfronts and after consideration of the two he got the thunderhead. For him the thunderhead made more sense because he was getting back into whitetail hunting. Besides the brush fabric on the thunderhead...

Grab what catches your eye making sure to look at the comments on the price tags that say why it is returned so you have an idea...

    "Conservation" = "More ungulates"?

    Thanks for starting a dialogue for people to share their thoughts on the subject. The hypothetical you gave is very real in the Northeast. I grew up in NY and in many places their deer are considered a native exotic. Their population has grown beyond a historic level and as such have changed...

    Katabatic flex, duck vs goose

    I gave them a call when I was looking into quilts, ended up with a treated sleeping down sleeping bag due to cost. They said that depending on the batch the duck down can have an off smell vs the goose down which never has had that issue. Sent from my SM-G950U1 using Tapatalk

    Does any one have any experience or thoughts about this jacket? I just picked one up for $100, I figured that it was a pretty good price for a 3L EVent jacket. I put the link on this post for people to check out. Thanks in advance...
