    Just picked up the famous Barneys Freighter pack, just the actual frame pack itself with meat shelf bag not included.

    Klymit 0 degree concerns

    So last year I bought the Klymit 0 degree oversize bag because Im 6'2" and 260 lbs with wide shoulders and I hate being wrapped up tight in a mummy bag, need room to move. Its been pretty warm for me and comfy so far but what I hate is the feathers are falling out!. They seem to wiggle out of...

    First Alaska Grizz

    Last year I took a nice Black bear and had my sights set on a Interior Grizzly this year. Saturday evening it all came together for me and I harvested a nice big headed old Sow. She walked in like she owned the place. I took her at 30 YDS with my Browning X-Bolt .300 RUM with a 220 GR Hornady...

    opinions: Pack rain cover

    Just bought a SG Talus 6900.................I hunt Alaska, it can be wet, Pack cover or no? I know the SG's seem to be pretty water "resistant" so I wasnt sure if a cover was really needed. I wont be purposely hunting in a down pour, but crap happens and sometimes you get caught in a good one.

    SG Talus 6900

    I think Ive settled on the SG Talus 6900. I really need the break away meat shelf option and really like the large tube style pockets on the sides for spotting scope/ quick grab items. Ive searched and researched this bag as well as been to the store and picked it up no less than 10 times lol...

    Need opinion on Pack

    Ive been really wanting a good pack for backcountry hunting. I was sort of saving up $$ for a pack that has a tilt away main compartment so I could pack meat or hide against the pack frame and then cinch main compartment back against it to keep the weight against my body for hikes out. Im not...

    Inreach advice please

    I have the Inreach Explorer and really love the texting capabilities and sense of security of the S.O.S, however the actual GPS functions, although work, are in my opinion leaving a lot to be desired. I dont want to drop another $400 on a GPS so I was wondering if guys are just using their...

    Glacier Sock Question

    So last hunting season I encountered a lot of stream/ small river crossings. At one point I slid 2 trash bags over my boots and held them and walked across a small stream because I didnt want to get my boots soaked. Naturally the sharp rocks quickly poked holes in the bags so they were...

    Question on Bags and carrying meat

    So I really like the idea of the Mystery Ranch style bags that the main Cargo portion of the bag you can detach the top of the bag from the Frame and slide meat, cape, or a large quarter down against your back and then reattach the cargo portion. This keeps the weight close to your back and...
