Is there something I can do to make my boots feel a little more loose? It seems like whenever I put them on after not wearing for a while, they are pretty tight. They are Hanwag Alaskan GTX. I haven’t oiled them in a while. Would some type of leather conditioner keep them from feeling like they...
What, if any, changes are you making for your daily food that you take for the day? I used to rely heavily on bars/waffles and overall sweet food. This year I am going to switch over to more “real” food and try to do more savory. I made some pemmican to replace the bars. I’ll be taking tuna...
I’m thinking about starting up the 28 day reboot and wanting some feedback from other who have done it. I’d like to lose a few pounds, maybe get back down to 170 and tighten up the baby belly.
I’m curious about the meals and what the workouts are like. It’s tough to do a workout in the evening...
Just thought I’d post a picture of what I carry in my pack for food for the day. I am also going to bring a pepperoni roll. Total calories of what is pictured is 2400. On top of that will be my dinner and whatever else I eat when I get back to camp. There’s no way I’ll eat all of this in a day...
Out of all the podcasts I have listened to over the years, one thing that never comes up is hunting during the wind. I live in SE Wyoming, the wind blows every day it seems. I just looked up the forecast for next week, when I’ll be hunting and the gusts every day are ranging anywhere from 22-45...
Most trail snacks I have found are generally sweet. I am looking for something to throw in the food bag to break up the typical sweet. I only do day hikes, so weight isn’t a huge issue, but still want something easy and convenient. I occasionally carry spam singles.
What do you carry in your...
FirstLite Chama hoodie - Sz medium. I bought it from another member last week. Seems almost brand new. I put it on once and realized it won’t work for me. Just looking to get what I paid for it.
$75TYD + 3% PP fees

Looking for a decent pair of hunting pants. Don’t have a specific brand in mind. Just looking for something comfortable that can handle all conditions of a Wyoming September. Probably need a medium size. I normally wear a 32x32.
Looking to spend $90 or less. If you have something laying around...
Does anyone have a good, reliable homemade ProBar equivalent? Yes I know I can google recipes, but want something people have already tried.
I tried a recipe last night and it didn’t turn out. Was too crumbly today stay together as bars, but was able to make them in to balls and freeze them...
Videos I’ve been watching lately show guys ditching stuff sacks on all their stuff and just cramming it all in to their packs. I would think a stuff sack would help keep it better organized, but do they actually take up more room? What do you guys do? Keep it in the stuff sack or just stuff it...
Well, after going back and forth for a few days, I think I’ve settled on an updated bag and pad for my first year of backpack hunting. It also helps that REI has a sale going on.
I am going to purchase the REI Igneo 17 and a Big Agnes Q-core SLX.
My one hesitation with the Igneo is that the...
I’ll be doing my very first backpacking hunt this fall. They won’t be extended trips, probably 2 nights and 3 days before I either pack up completely and move or just go back to the truck for fresh gear and food.
I just use an older Mountain Hardware Pinole 20 bag, but have been looking for...
Hey everyone,
I'm new here, I read through the first 3-4 pages of topics and didnt see anything about homemade epic bars. Has anyone tried their hand at recreating them? Is it basically just a pemmican recipe, or completely different. If you have a video, a link, or a recipe, post it up. I...
I am in the market for a high end pack and exo is at the top of my list. I have heard a few complaints from guys I know that the waist belts are garbage. One guy replaced his with a Kuiu and two other guys sold theirs after one season of use. I have a similar body type as these guys, so I am a...
So, for the last 4 years I have used a horn hunter frame for shed hunting and packing out elk. The last couple years I have really noticed how much the pack digs in to my hips and doesn’t carry weight that well (in my opinion, don’t get all butthurt) I have decided to buy a new pack and my eyes...
