    Finally upgraded

    I’ve been hunting the last few years with the Slumberjack bounty 2.0 . I have packed out several turkeys and one whitetail with it along with lugging a tree stand some. It’s worked well for me but it was time to move up. I ordered a mystery ranch metcalf today in coyote with 2 belt pouches. I...

    Kryptek guys, which glove?

    Ok guys, I’m going on a Montana elk hunt in November. I’m needing a good glove. I have mostly Kryptek stuff on all my other clothing. Which Kryptek glove would work for the first 2 weeks of November. I’m leaning toward the Vellus glove. I’m open to other brands as well.

    Need some advice.

    Ok, kind of a long story but I've had AFLAC for several years with work and have never used it. I've gone to the Dr. but I've just never pushed the paper work forward to get my reimbursement benefits. Until the other week!! It was well worth it to me. I don't go a bunch but the couple hours it...

    Adventure racing

    Has anyone done an adventure race before. This past may I did a 28.3 mile hike and I'm thinking I want to do something different next year. I'm think I might try an adventure race. It's a combo of biking, trekking with map and compass and a kayaking section. I was just checking if anyone has...

    NC backpack turkey hunt.

    So, I had the opportunity to get out last week, FINALLY. It was just a quick over night pack in but it was better than nothing. So I'll give a quick run down. I drove up to Pisgah national forest Thursday morning after I dropped the girls off at school and the sitters. I had my Slumberjack...

    HHA optimizer

    Is anybody using one of these. I'm looking real hard into upgrading my sight. I'm shooting a trophy ridge 3 pin right now. I am seriously looking into trying a single pin slider and these have pretty good reviews. I'd like to hear some personal experience with them and weather or not you're...

    Good nonslip material.

    I have a SJK bounty 4500. It's a pretty comfortable back at 60 pounds but it starts to slip a bit down after a bit. I am wanting to put some non slip material on the lumbar pad to help keep it in place a bit. Any good recommendations?

    Head lamps

    What do you guys use? I have a lamp that is ok. It has several settings plus a red lense so you don't blind anybody. The only problem I have with it is it has a push button on the top and more than once I've taken it out of my pack to find it dead because the button got pushed while in the pack...

    New pack.

    Ok, I ordered a new pack last night. It isn't the Exo like I want someday. I just can't justify the cash right now. Maybe down the line. I found a slumber jack bounty 4500 for 149.00 on Sierra trading post. It can be used as a hauler and seems pretty spacious from the pics. I know it won't be up...

    Cold weather options

    Ok, I'm planning on elk hunting in Montana in '17. I've been talking to my wife's cousin that lives there and kills elk mod every year. I'm planning on a rifle hunt to get one or 2 under my belt before I try with a bow. He said to expect some pretty cold weather with below 0 not uncommon. I have...

    Mountain smith mountain shelter LT

    I'm thinking of getting one of these for this season to upgrade from my cheap oz ark trail tent from Wally World. I've never use a floorless tent before. I can get one for around 70 bucks on promotive. I know it isn't on the same league as kifaru or anything but how do they hold up to moderate...

    Kryptek Cadog?

    So I can get a decent discount on kryptek stuff due to a warranty issue. I've been on the fence about the Cadog set. I'm wanting a warm set for going to Pa for deer season with my dad. How warm is this set. Actually I'm concerned it may be to warm because I have plenty of layers and I just don't...

    T.A.D clothing

    I was curious if any of you guys use any triple aught design clothing. I was looking around and found their stuff. It's a more tactical type stuff but it is some pretty high tech types of fabrics. The prices are in line with the first lite,Sitka,kryptek stuff however it is American made. They...

    puffy pants question

    Those of you that have them , how do you most often use them. I just ordered a pair of Kyptek Kratos pants off of camofire. Normally 189 and they were 69. They only had 2xl or small so I ordered the 2xl. I have dalibor pants already from kryptek and this past deer season I was a tad cold in them...

    Bowtech Carbon icon

    Does anyone hunt with one of these? I may be in the market for a new bow. I know I need to go shot several but I'm leaning at looking at these pretty hard. It Isi. My price range. I'm also looking at the Mathews Z3 or Z2. Like I said that's the price range I'm looking in.

    Bushcraft vs. gear

    This is just kind of a curiosity thing. I know this site is a gear intensive site and I like gear a lot. My question is how many of you practice bushcraft skills to compliment your gear. As an example about 90 % of my fires I start with a flint and steel with char cloth or tinder fungus. I...

    first backpack hunt.

    Well, I've hunted allmy life practically. However I've added a little twist to it and took the leap this deer season. I have started to back pack in and hunt out of a base camp back in the woods. I just wanted to add a bit to the hunt and get back off the beaten path a bit to basically get away...
