WTT Kuiu pro pant in size 40, Vias camo for the same pant, size 40 in any other color or pattern. Worn on a handful of short hunts. No rips or tears. One small stain near left cargo pocked.
This week I loaded 51 rounds of .270 Win. Bullet is a Hornady Interlock 140 grain BTSP. The first 49 finished off one box of bullets I'd purchased about 2 years ago. The last two rounds were from a brand new box I purchased within the past year. The seating depth of the first 49 were all...
Big fan of my L&S Mountain Hunters so far. Haven’t worn Hanwag but have worn Lowa Hunter, Crispi Colorado, Kenetrek Guides and Kenetrek Extremes and prefer the L&S to all of them.
I am a 12 EE or 12.5 EE in most mountain boots and have my Hoffman Guides in 12. For me they are a little sloppy in the heel area yet a little snug in the toe box with heavy socks. The heel sloppiness doesn’t bother me. Don’t seem to get hot spots or anything due to the slippage between the...
I have the same dilemma. Have hunted for a week in the teens and lower in 200 gram boots and have been fine so long as I kept moving pretty often. Have even treestand hunted in them with arctic shields on and been good down to high twenties or so. But would like a little more warmth. Just...
Thanks. I should have probably included that I am planning to shoot suppressed. I am also leaning toward VLDs or ELD-X in that 140 range...but more likely the VLDs. I had an issue with a 212 .30 cal ELD-X at short range. 143 in 6.5 might be a completely different story though.
I have a Remington Sportsman 78 in .30-06 (identical to 700 action as near as I can tell) that I got from my late uncle. I want to use the action for a project because I'll likely never use it as a .30-06 given everything else already in the gun safe. It would be used for tree stand whitetail...
Short Term Review: I used the Mountain Hunters on a CO archery hunt last month. Overall, I really like the boots now that they've been through one hunt. They are very comfortable and have great support. I have always had issues with rolling my left ankle. Typically at least once or twice a day I...
I slept on a cot with a Klymit Static V Lux insulated pad. I think they list the R value at 6.5. But I’ve heard mixed reviews on their pads. It treated me fine and I noticed no cold coming from under me even with the air space under the cot. That being said, since we were truck camping I did...
The tent and stove worked well last November. Overnight temps were consistently 10 or below. The stove got things warm quick for hanging out and making sure you were warm when you crawled in the bag. I had a 0 degree bag and a decent pad but the bag was not high dollar. I stayed warm enough with...
Just wanted to give credit to Lathrop & Sons for their outstanding customer service. I recently got my Mountain Hunters delivered and was not 100% sure I purchased the right size (I had not done the custom fitting process). I spoke directly to James Lathrop, who spent a lot of time and multiple...
