I sell about 120 Manners stocks a year. The PH, IMHO, is the best hunting stock they make. It's Lighter, Sleeker, More Compact and feels better in my hands then the EH1 and the EH1 is great stock.
I just recently swapped my EH2 for a Pro Hunter and I love it! The EH2 used to be my favorite...
I will for sure be bringing a cut proof glove with me this trip. The last 2 I didn't, and I cut myself both times. Not real bad but enough to make me think how important one is. I'd hate for a hunt to be cut short because of a bad cut.
Piss bottle is a must! I never really thought of one...
For sure, I would think that's the way to go if you can ship air cargo and you're looking to save some money. We've always processed our own meat so that's a bonus. I will say, it took forever.... having to let 90lb blocks of frozen meat thaw before being able to peel pieces apart to butcher.
The first year my uncle and father were able to check on antlers & meat as baggage. AA has changed the rules on checking on antlers lately as supposedly they only check on 1 set of antlers per flight. (I've heard some airports are strict on this and others are not)
The second time we shipped...
I've been using the Eberlestock Mainframe and it packs great. 100-130+lb packs are not the most comfortable but I'm not sure that's the packs fault.. that's just a lot of weight. I've heard great things about the Barneys as well
