    Heel pain/blister

    You're not alone, I had the exact same problem with my Idaho's. I loved the boot, but they ate my heels up. I tried lots of socks, prolly 10 insoles and combination of insoles, and lacing techniques. Basically concluded there's just too much volume in the heel pocket for me. But, I'm now going...

    $20 field and stream camo ones for me. Black lens, polarized. Don't wear when shooting, BS. I've hunted, killed, and do 3D shoots all summer wearing sunglasses. Sent from my SM-G955U1 using Tapatalk

    Activity tracker

    I've had the Garmin instinct for about a week and really like it. Still haven't figured it all out. I feel like the heart rate tracker is fairly accurate. Had it on the treadmill once, running about 12min/mile pace, and my heart rate was where I expected. Yes you can turn the GPS on and off...

    permethrin concentrate?

    This what I use. 10% concentrate and dilute it down to about .5 or .6%. This one doesnt have the petroleum distillates in it, so doesnt make your clothes stinky or oily. Been using it for years and no ticks since...

    Crispi Idaho

    I put superfeet in mine when I first bought them. Put 50-75 miles on them with a 40 lb pack over the summer, in "hilly" midwest terrain. No issues at all, they felt perfect. 4 miles up the mountain in Colorado that fall, and my heels were shredded. Luckily had spare boots in truck. Like...

    Ravpower turbo. Had two ankers crap out in past. Took this on last trip in sep 2017. Charged it up when i got back and has been in desk draw ever since. Just pulled it out and was still fully charged. Even charged my phone from 35% to 100, and it still shows full. I will take a smaller version...

    Help with my gear list

    Last trip my newer samsung galaxy s8 lasted 6 days without a charge, on airplane mode using the inreach app at least a few times an hour all day. And probably sent/received a dozen text in evening. The newer cell phone batteries alone last a long time when in airplane mode. I took a charger that...

    Help with my gear list

    Yep, I'd upgrade pad to higher Rvalue if you can, especially with your sleeping bag. Last trip mid september, I took a mountain hardwear 5 degree bag. I was just right down to mid 20s. Started to get a little chilly. Cant take them as low as the rating. Your 28 degree bag is probably good for...

    What tires are you running?

    All terrain tire, I've had 2 sets of BFG KO and 1 set of ko2s. Ive got between 60-70k on all, on a 1/2 ton. Rotate every 5000. Buy load D, much better ride. 10 ply are probably rated higher than the damn axle. Sent from my SM-G955U1 using Tapatalk

    First Lite Corrugate Guide pants durability

    I like my corrugates but the butt has lots of pilling after 10 days of archery elk in colorado. Guess just from sitting down here and there. Buddy had same thing and he emailed first lite. They basically said its not a problem. I like my obsidians even more, but I dont think id walk thru thorny...

    Katadyn BeFree vs. Sawyer Squeeze

    I bought both the sawyer and befree in 2017. Kept the befree and it performed flawless for 10 days in colorado, september. Only used in fairly clear, flowing water. Very fast. Also, i used the filter with the hydrapak bags. Just filled the bags when i could and then squeezed into my naglene. At...

    Big Agnes Q Core SLX???

    I got the Q core SLX. Yellow one i believe. Got about 10 nights on it, and I really like it. Its like 4.25 inches thick or something. I leave it slightly deflated and its super comfy. About 23-24oz if I remember right. No issues so far, but id suggest the pumphouse bag to blow it up. Sent from...

    Love my salomon boots but wearing them out too fast? Replacement suggestions?

    Super down ultra hooded jacket

    Ive been testing the kuiu super down ultra hoody and the arcteryx cerium LT hoody. The arcteryx is slightly warmer and thicker, but yeah it has slightly more fill. Also has more of a silky face material, where the kuiu is more what I call tissue paper. Ive had both out in around 25 degrees...
