    Eddie Bauer codes for guide pro pants?

    Same experience here with guide pros, they fall apart after a while. Wasn’t a big deal with lifetime warranty. But that is no more. Pretty disappointing. As long as you destroy them in under a year (most likely) then shouldn’t be problem to warranty in that time period.

    bivy setup?

    I don’t walk away from the tent and bag without all my clothing. (Puffy, puffy pants, rain gear, base layers etc.) If these^ are dialed, then one will survive at least. Another half bag isn’t worth the weight IMO. Put those ounces into a heavier puffy or puffy pants. Can always crawl down into...

    Kifaru do I need a flat back or a curved?

    The beauty part is that if you go with Alum stays you can bend them to custom fit your exact back profile. A tweak here or there can pay dividends when loaded down heavy.

    Maven binos for sheep advice please.

    Whatever you go with throw them on a tripod, it’s a game changer. Imo. I hunt sheep with 12x50s. Worth the weight penalty to me anyhow. In contrast. My old man uses 10x32s for sheep. He couldn’t be bothered with a tripod.

    Kuiu Versa Hooded Jacket- comments?

    Have to second the above. Lightweight and decently warm. Wish it had a cinch on the bottom. I am a 34 waist and it is borderline moo-moo-esque. I didn’t expect it to. But it has become my everday wear.

    Fox Creek Alberta Black Bear Hunt

    Rubber boots, bug spray. Good set of binos. I've hunted that way a fair bit. Good luck. Pipelines green up soonest. Most activity in evening. Good luck. And fair bit of grizz up that way as well.

    Above natural "belt" line or where my pants sit. Sorry should have been more concise.

    Pack for hips: custom options ?

    Thanks guys. I was a little concerned since all the kifaru fitment videos state to center the middle stitch of the waistbelt on the top of the hip bone. This would put the buckle pretty much above my navel. Guess I will try it out and see I guess. Thanks again.

    Pack for hips: custom options ?

    Looking for a little advice from the collective... So I have really high bitchly hips and have been struggling with packs. The top of my hipbone is approx 4" above my waistline and waist belts usually end up over my navel or slightly higher when fitting the waist pads as per usual over my hip...

    Kill Kit

    A little glow stick for marking location when coming back in the dark could really help too.

    Teton sports bag reviews/experience

    Came across these online from Teton sports. Looking at the synthetic 0deg mummy bag for around 100$. Any experience with this company? Is the product on par with the cost? Or stay away and buy a seemingly higher quality for more cost? Thanks in advance.

    Grim reaper Broadhead experience ?

    Thanks, hasn't thought of the fact that blades could snap forward on abrupt stops. However, both "stubs" were in the rearward or deployed position.

    Grim reaper Broadhead experience ?

    Has anyone experienced blades breaking while going through heavy bone? ie: bull elk. Is this a normal occurance or par for the course with mechanicals? Bull elk, broadside at 45 yards, through one rib on entry, perfect 3 blade hole both sides of heart. No blood. Dead and crashed in 10 seconds...

    Stream crossings? Gaiters or "crocs"

    Thanks guys. The only thing holding me back from crocs are the weight. Will be looking into lighter alternatives for sure.

    Stream crossings? Gaiters or "crocs"

    Looking for a little advise from the rokslide collective... If stream crossings are say knee deep and 20-30' across would gaiters be a viable option for keeping 10" talk boots relatively dry? Or just throw on a set of crocs or water shoes and have at her? Ran I to this on a recent sheep hunt...

    Children and hunting: how old?

    My boy turns 4 in a couple days and is borderline obsessed with hunting. Has his own little full "kit". We spend some time in the blind I picked up this year just for that purpose. Checks cameras with me all the time. A nice slow progression I think is key. Don't force it and let them check...

    Icebreaker merino
