    First Lite Llano sizing

    How is the sizing on this top? I have no idea if I'd need a L or M since I have no place locally to try them on. I'm 5'11" about 155 and most stuff I'm a M, but everyone once in a while a M is a little tight on me. Also anyone know of any sales/discounts from any retailers on their First Lite...

    Packing food

    Wasn't sure whether to post this question here or the food section please move if in the wrong spot, but what is everyone packing their food in? I have a 19L compression sack I'm using and I just barely get 7 days worth of food in it. It seems like it should more than enough, I've taken as much...

    Chili Powder

    Those that use chili powder to keep flies off, how much of it is typically needed? Locally I haven't been able to find anything smaller than 3oz which I'm not sure if that's too much or not enough. And will any chili powder work or is there something specific that should be looked for?

    Stove-less

    I was looking at videos of comparing different fire starting materials instead of using cotton balls/Vaseline all the time and came across this. Basically just using these cubes and a couple rocks. REI's site says the cubes can be extinguished and reused, just wonder if they smell after that...

    Weight on feet vs. back

    I've always heard(and not sure were, prob the net) that 1lb on your feet/ankles is the same as 5lbs on your back. Does anyone know if this is actually true? If I throw on two 10lbs weights(one on each ankle, 20lbs total) does that mean it's roughly the same as 100lbs on my back?

    How late do you stay out, early do you get up.

    Since this fall will be my first DIY western hunt, I'm curious what everyone does in terms of how early they get up and how late they stay out and head back to camp. When I whitetail hunt, I'm in my stand 30 mins before daylight and I come out when I can't see my pin or through my scope anymore...

    Is this a good starting work out

    I've been working out at a local gym for a couple weeks now and not sure if what I'm doing is the best for me or if I should change it up. I work out 4 days a week, mainly on a treadmill. I do 3 miles with a small incline and I plan on increasing the incline and distance every couple weeks. I...

    Campfire, yes/no?

    Is it common to have a fire at your camp(not a stove your brought). I've read that it's not good due to the scent it puts off or could attract bears. What's everyone else do when they hike back a few miles? Fire or not fire at camp?

    How long does it take you to get to camp?

    Just curious how long it takes people to get to their camp from their truck, in hours and how many miles in from your truck? If you move from day to day how long does it take to get to your first spot typically. Assuming it's early or mid season and fair weather going up a mountain.

    Pack Wheel

    Anyone ever use this or something like it. Seemed like a good thing to get until I saw the price, figured I can make it for $100 in materials or around that. Definitely be a lot easier on the back and it has a brake for going down hill. Would kind of look at it the way Luke/Becca do w/those...
