    Help me pick a tent color. No, really. I’m serious!

    I like the green/have a green Nallo. I found the green was a bit darker inside when sitting out a rain storm (made it easier to sleep). I have found brighter colored tents stay brighter inside and the red can give me a headache. Just a thought when light is shining through it. I’m not sure if...

    Help Me Pick a Kifaru Bag

    Cavern or Crater (kind like Hoodlum/Reckoning) w/ Guide lid (for bladder if you choose) and then add a couple belt pouches to the PALs on the back/bottom webbing for the quick access. Cavern/Crater have side-zip access in addition to the roll-top for getting in. Let's you strap gun/bow to back...

    Is classic hunting bolt action rifle dead or?

    Not a bolt action but how about a Ruger No. 1 in 7mm rem mag with walnut stock? I think that is pretty classic.

    Sub-$200 range finder

    Don’t bypass Sig Sauer rangefinders. I think they’re easy to use, have a few options in your price range and the warranty, which I tested unfortunately, is fantastic.

    Best Sub $350 Quilt (10*-20* range)

    Sorry for the late reply, I have to VPN to the U.S. from Norway to get onto Rokslide now. I have a 20* with no overstuff. I sleep really warm and have had it down to 25*. That's about as low as I'd run it with the setup I had. I was in a floorless tipi (no stove), on a Klymit Static V Lux...

    Pack size for 5 day

    All of the above is good advice. I would say that whether just backpacking or hunting I’ve never regretted or felt I had “too much bag”. If you try too hard to cram and pack really tight/compress all your gear real small, it slows you down and makes it tough when you are cold or tired or wet...

    Getting started - Arrows

    DEW has good feedback. I used a couple of the spine charts to get close and erred on the side of too stiff knowing I can add point weight. I started with aluminum since they were cheaper and I just wanted to get shooting. After that, you can spend a lot of time and money on trying different...

    Cold Weather Gloves - Tree Stand

    when I lived in Wisconsin I would wear rag wool or fleece glomitts. They worked well and I could put a hand warmer in the mitten portion.you can get the rag wool mitten for 15 bucks at fleet farm.

    Companies with Best Warranty & Customer Service?

    Sig had great CS for me. Dropped a relatively new rangefinder from my tree stand into a creek. It was trashed. I called them and asked if it could be repaired and fully expected to pay for it. They sent me a new rangefinder for nothing, including shipping. It made me a Sig optics fan and will...

    Shout out to BlackOvis

    Just wanted to post a shout out to BlackOvis for sending an email out about possible delayed shipping times around Xmas. I’ve always had great experiences with the customer service at BlackOvis. I appreciate their initiative in telling customers that there will likely not be guaranteed ship...

    Inreach mini vs zoleo

    I have an inreach mini and it’s worked really well for me. I don’t care for the setup or plan from garmin but the device works and held a charge for a long time. I think Randy Newberg had a Zoleo video posted recently.

    Kuiu Sizing??? XL Guide Jacket = What Size Chugach Jacket?

    I have a Kuiu Guide in XL and had the same question as you re: Chugach. I picked up the XL Chugach. It fits perfect for me. I’m 5’10.5” and 185lb. Average build. I would not have liked how tight the L would fit me. For me, in every upper body Kuiu product, I go up a size. Mostly because I don’t...

    Observation on the best binos conversations

    This isn’t a best glass question. It’s what works best for you. I’ve given up debating what the “best glass” is since it’s totally subjective.

    Observation on the best binos conversations

    I actually picked up the Nikon HG because they felt so good in hand and they seemed so crisp and clear. I really liked them at first and wanted to like them long-term. But after spending a lot of time behind them and my Swaro Habicht that I sent back for a full rebuild, I was done. The Nikon HGs...

    Observation on the best binos conversations

    After owning Nikon HGs, Vortex Razors, older Swaro Habicht and looking through Leupolds, Zeiss and Sigs and reading countless posts something occurred to me. We often debate the “best binocular/glass” but almost always “whichever your eye likes the best”. It turns subjective and personal. Which...

    Functional archery hunting rangefinder

    Another vote for Sig Kilo. I also had great customer service with them. Dropped it in a creek. Obviously my fault. Called them up and they sent me a brand new one. They didn’t have to do that since it was my fault entirely. But they did.

    Early public land archery - field edges and stand advice?

    There are a lot of factors at play. As mentioned an aerial image would help. depending on how much the deer are around trucks in that area. Drive your truck in and try to just sit in your truck and glass for deer for an evening/morning. a couple thoughts though: - Early season with standing...

    Trimming the Sitka Ascent Cap bill

    I have actually done this to a Carhartt billed duck-hunting style cap. I cut the bill (it was a plastic sheet inside) then used a heavy gauge needle to run braided fishing line around the bill to prevent fraying. Then add super glue as well to “seem seal”. It wasn’t prettiest thing ever but gave...
