    Connecting sleeping bag to pad

    Is anyone familiar with any other ways to connect a sleeping bag with a pad? I’ve been without a good bag for a bit now (mostly hunt in So Cal) but I’ve been using my wife’s bag on colder hunts and it’s been a game changer to have the sleeping pad sleeve: Big Agnes Bag. Any other bags that have...

    0 MOA or 20 MOA mount with Maven RS1 / Tikka 6.5

    Rookie rifle shooter and hunter here. I have no plans on shooting animals past 400 yards, but would ideally like to become as proficient as possible shooting long range. Is there any downsides to going with a 20MOA scope attachment? I’m looking at DNZ Game Reaper and the difference between 20MOA...

    Pre-Emptive Gluing of Boots

    Does anyone glue the seams and stitching of their boots to prevent premature breaking down? I was about to start running some gorilla glue along the stitching of my new Crispi Colorados, but I thought I would ask before doing so...

    WTS (12) Victory VAP TKO ELITE - 350 spine

    I accidentally purchased and cut a dozen 350 VAP TKO Elites when I shoot 300s. They are cut to 26.75" from end to nocking point. If I could get $100 for them, they are yours. -Alex

    Wide boots for flat feet

    I'm in need of a wide pair of boots. I bought Crispi in wide, but I think they still might be too narrow for me, as I have super flat feet. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated. Alex

    Crispi Colorado vs Dakota vs Nevada

    After running my first pair of hunting boots into the ground, I'm ready to invest into a high quality boot. I've pretty much decided to try out the Crispi line and have ordered the Nevadas, the Wyomings, the Colorados, and the Dakotas. I'm narrowed it down to the Dakotas and the Colorados as my...

    SEVR 2.1 vs 1.5

    I'm looking to try the SEVR broadheads out this season. I have one deer tag left and a bear tag here in California. I know the 2.1 is plenty fine for deer, but should I go with the 1.5 for bear, or can I use the 2.1 for everything? Thanks, -Alex

    Kuiu Northridge or Chugach

    I have 20% off at Kuiu for my birthday and I need a rain jacket. I'm in between the two of these. I live in So Cal, but hunt Nor Cal every so often and will be doing a yearly 10 day elk trip out of state for the foreseeable future. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

    Outdoor Vision / Scree Gaiters

    I recently bought the Outdoor Vision scree gaiters. They have been quiet and have worked incredibly well until I managed to bust one of the zippers on my archery elk hunt. Black Ovis wouldn't exchange them, as it was past 30 days, but Outdoor Vision replaced them without question. I greatly...

    Camo vs no camo

    I'm sure this question has been answered and I've read some different threads on other websites that claims camo does not matter when hunting ungulates, but wanted to hear successful bow hunters thoughts on the subject? I live in California and a lot of my access points are shared with hikers...

    Question about Therm-a-Rest NeoAir Xtherm

    I'm looking to buy a one pad does all, but since the majority of my hunting and backpacking will be done in CA, I'm wondering if I'll run too hot on one of these. Anyone have any experience sleeping on one of these in warmer weather? Thanks in advance. Alex

    Arrow question

    So I'm currently shooting VAP TKO ELITE arrows on my Hoyt RX-1 with 29" DL and 70#. I upgraded the inserts to SS and with 100gr tip, I'm at about a 475 grain arrow. Love this arrow set up, but would like to start shooting some rabbit and squirrel. Needless to say, I'm not too interested in...

    Boxer briefs

    I had surgery on one of my boys a few years back and use tight fitting briefs in my day to day life for no bounce and solid support. What in the hunting world should I be considering when looking for the same?
