    Kuiu Yukon vs. Kryptek Takur Rain Gear

    I own the old chugach and my buddy runs the yukon we live and hunt in BC so rain gear is a must. I would suggest the chugach as it doesn’t swish as loud as the Yukon and packs down better. I run hot and actually just run straight rain pants with the top zips open slightly to stop from getting...

    Quietest Waterproof Rain Jckt

    Honestly if you want quiet rain gear I would recommend the Sitka Thunderhead line but it will not keep you as dry as the others you have listed as giving up noise costs you due to the face fabric now holding moisture. Where are you hunting and what weather do you regularly experience. Keep an...

    What Spotting Scope (Budget)

    I would have to agree with the buy once cry once crowd. I made the costly mistake of buying cheaper glass and it has cost me big time. With your budget have you considered the tripod a good tripod and head could run you $500+USD. Save your money until you can get what you want. $$$$ make a...

    Spotting scope - 65 or 80?

    I had an 82 meopta and upgraded to the 95 Swarovski Atx and I can say without a doubt you will never regret having a bigger objective. I backpack hunt with a 35-50 lbs day pack because the reality is I only have a limited time in the woods and I will use every advantage I can to be successful...

    Shooting Long Range 101 with Ryan Avery

    Ryan’s honest opinion on bow hunting to long range hunting should really open all hunters eyes to ethical hunting. The fact that he stated it’s each individuals skills that determine wether a shot is ethical or not is spot on. No your limits and be honest with yourself, take ethical shots...

    Spotting scope straight eyepiece vs angled eyepiece

    That's interesting most guys I know have angled and you primarily find us at the top of the mountains. Another hunter who you may or may not know, Aron Snyder, seems to be using an angled but he's known to be lazy and hunting from the truck. Honestly does that made up quote need to be added...

    interesting read- strong or light?

    Building muscle through the entire range of motion is the best way to develop strength for the mountains for most. Not only do you become more flexible but you have strength in those awkward positions that injuries occur in. Focus on the negatives to really build your tendons and ligaments and...

    Small day pack

    I would look into the kifaru Stryker it may cost more because you have to buy the frame aswell but it is super versatile and you can throw a dry bag in the shelf or camp bag and drop it and go. I know you are going guided this time but good gear never goes bad. The badlands superday is nice...

    Kifaru 24 v 26 Frame

    I'm 5'9" 180 lbs Athletic build and I have the 24" tactical and new 26" Lite frames with the Fulcrum/ Crater/ Cargo Panel. 32 waist small belt fits perfect the medium is too big and 30 inch inseam. I prefer the 26 but I'm not a bow hunter and I'm not an ultra lite guy so I'm usually packing...

    Vest Recommendations

    I love my Kuiu 240 peloton vest and hooded jacket super quiet and warm and breathable when on the move. I run hot just a highly breathable base layer when I’m on the move and always carry some puffy gear in the pack. I added the vest this year for a super quiet and breathable piece for when...

    Spotter advice needed

    To be honest save your money and use your legs. I have looked through a few spotters straight and angled. I subscribe after many mistakes to buy once cry once or like me you will waste a ton of money. I now have a 95 Atx because at distance while zoomed to count tines especially on moose...

    Good Kuiu Gear?

    I agree it is hard to beat the attack pants 4 way stretch, had mine for 3 season of hunting elk, sheep, moose, caribou and deer and look good still, the polyester material is quiet, and the hip zips are awesome. The peloton line is great as well windproof fleece what’s not to like. Super...

    Cold Weather Pant Recommendations

    You cannot hike in the lost park pants they run to hot unless it is extremely cold even with the zippers completely undone. Hike in and throw puffy pants on when you get to the glassing spot quieter and so comfortable when you sit for a long glassing session

    Puffy pants for glassing

    I have used the kifaru doobie instead of puffy pants and I did enjoy having it go over my feet however I found that it takes up a ton of room in the pack and as Ryan says every time you move any heat you have is gone. Since buying the lost park pants I would never go back plus I felt my feet...

    Puffy Pants - LPP, FL or STIKA?

    I love my lost park pants and parka. The biggest selling points for me are: synthetic insulation, durable waterproof/wind proof outer, cordura knee(should go to the hem IMO) and seat, strong big zippers, saves my rain gear by not having to wear over delicate hunting clothing. I was soaked...

    Kryptek Altitude Review: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

    Great review! I ordered the bora jacket and vest for my dad I have finally broke him down to admitting that layering and good gear is worth it. I’m interested to see what the durability of this gear is after a few seasons

    Floorless Mid Shootout

    A suggestion I would talk to Aron Snyder and add the kifaru sawtooth in this shootout I’m from BC Canada and have nothing but positive things to say about it. It is the only floor less back packing tent I have used all wall tents before that.
