    Who has ditched the trusted Nalgene bottle?

    Water bladder and single skin stainless steel bottle. I try to stay away from plastics but there isn’t a better way for a large supply like a bladder. Steel bottle also works well with warm water on those colder nights.

    To Hoody or Not to Hoody

    Base layer is a must for me, then my insulating puffy layer has it as well. Otherwise I choose not to have a mid layer one as that seems to cause the “bulk” of a build up.

    Best way to carry bow in backcountry?

    I strap mine to my pack for the most part and don’t use poles so my hands are free. I hunt in the mountains so I generally have a big hike in where it’s strapped back, then glass and when I find something, carry it in my hands.

    Running Shoes

    I’ve gone with the TOPO Terraventure 3’s. Built better then altras, wide comfy toe box, minimal drop which I like. I use mine to train and hunt in.

    Vivo forest tracker esc durability

    Appreciate the info! Definitely leaning towards getting some for my upcoming 10 day ek hunt. I only wear barefoot shoes outside of hunting so my feet should be fine. How were they for sizing? Heard mixed things about them.
