    WTS Garmin Oregon 750t / Montana 680t

    Each used less than I would have liked. Were purchased for a western hunt with Dad and I. Unfortunate medical incident cancelled trip. Only used to scout a little in local national forest. Has a MN OnX chip that can be sent with one of them. $250 each tyd.

    Does Rinella not allow a gun to be carried on his hunts?

    Right, I can agree with most people (like his brother) that feel like R3 is mostly wasted dollars at this point. That being said, I am interested in someone who is pro gun/pro hunting being able to effectively communicate to non hunters why the vast majority of hunters responsible and ethical...

    Exo 3500 or Exo 4800

    As a person who went from the K2 5500 to the K3 4800, get the 6400.

    Does Rinella not allow a gun to be carried on his hunts?

    I think if you go too deep on anything you will find some level of any organization that is anti something you like. Yeah, we can make choices not to support stuff we don't agree with, but you probably are just cutting off your nose to spite your face. If you like his show, watch it. If you...

    Pre Stitched Straps

    Does anyone know of a company that makes pre stitched straps for 1" webbing? I need a couple of straps to fix a few items on my pack and I have zero trust in my stitching skills so would rather purchase some in premade lengths. If not a company, is there someone on rokslide that people would...

    First Lite 2021

    I've used the sanctuary for 3 years and never felt wind. I'm more after the kitlink and the full zip bibs. I wasnt worried about warmth :)

    First Lite 2021

    Same, the kitlink added to the sanctuary and the bibs being able to full zip have me back on board ha. That will allow me to walk out in just corrugates or catalyst pants and throw over bibs when I get to my destination. Great news.

    First Lite 2021

    They've brought in 2 former Sitka guys to be their whitetail guys, so I would guess they are pressing them on it. And Sturgis new property is in central MN, and previously he hunted a ton of WI and MI, so I assume he will be asking those questions. As somewhat of a FL fanboy I guess, run my...

    First Lite 2021

    My only caution on the stratus/fanatic system from when I tried them. They suck in the rain. They have DWR but where I hunt it can get sudden rainshowers in the fall. Anytime it rained, I would be soaked from head to toe and weigh an extra 20 pounds. The brushed face collects a lot of water...

    another choose my pack kuiu, SG, Exo

    All will be fine, but I would go SG or Exo based on your criteria. I'm just now testing my SG since getting it but loving it so far. I went with the 7900 which is their biggest bag, but if you reduce it to bivy mode it's not bulky at all. SG or Exo, can't go wrong so I would pick the frame...

    First Lite 2021 Lineup-Foundry pants?

    Yeah, that's kind of weird. I think I could probably just stick with my corrugate foundry for walking in and out in late season and throw on puffy or bibs when I get in for whitetail. I was hoping they would replace my north branch bibs but doesn't appear so.

    First Lite new duffle and stuff sacks

    No problem! It can best be described as every conversation i've had about them goes about like this: 1: "wow that's a really nice bag. I really like that." me: "Thanks, it was a present from my wife. It's perfect for me." 1: "nice, how much do those run?" me: This one is like $160 bucks 1...

    First Lite new duffle and stuff sacks

    Wife got me one for my birthday. Medium one. It's the nicest duffel bag I have ever owned. I really like the straps on it because they are setup to work really well as backpack straps too, so you don't need to carry it on your side. Other duffels I have owned always were super uncomfortable when...

    Advice on 2-3 packs to test

    If you're picking up just a bunch of frames to test first, the revolution frame will probably be your surprise winner in terms of comfort. If you are looking at the whole package you may or may not like all of their bag options. Frame only is here...

    Seek Outside - Flight Style Belt Pockets - Revolution Frame

    I really like these. I wonder if they would easily fit on other pack manufacturer's belts. That way I could swap them when I swap packs for different length trips. I generally keep the same stuff in my hipbelt pockets.

    Advice on 2-3 packs to test

    I recently got an Xcurve from SG and have been testing it hauling around 60 pounds in it and have an exo and seek outside. If I had to pick two for comfort I would say SO, SG, Exo in that order. I have no experience with a Kifaru. That being said, when there were competitive options and for...

    First Lite 2021 Lineup-Foundry pants?

    I'm very interested to see what the catalyst set brings this summer. Based on the website description, I would expect the current catalyst with a kneepad, hip vents, waterproof panels and the pocket moved. That being said, I hope they maybe seal the seams inside now too. That would make them an...

    Best backpack for backcountry hunting??

    You largely cannot go wrong with any of the Kifaru, Seek outside, Exo, Stone Glacier or a couple other less mentioned brands. They all have differences that create a competitive market that is good for the consumer because every person has a different set of priorities when they define "best."

    Sitka Stratos jacket and bibs

    I didn't like it personally. I got the blaze for whitetail hunting and that thing just holds tons of moisture in any rain or snow. The brushed face was brutal for water. I felt like I carried an extra 25 pounds of water back out of the woods each time it rained, snowed, or I walked through after...
