    Schnee’s Mountain Boot vs Hoffman Explorer flex rating

    I’m pretty familiar with the flexibility of Schnee’s Beartooth and Timberline boots. I’m a high end boot ho and I’m starting to think there’s something to the one-piece vamp design on the Hoffman Explorer. Can anyone speak to the flexibility and perhaps even fit of the boots as a comparison?

    SO Unaweep packing meat

    I scoured the forums and I’m not getting a great answer for this question. Looking for a do-it-all pack for summer backpacking and Sept elk hunting. I’m trying to find out how well you can strap meat to the outside of a Seek Outside Unaweep pack. I’d rather not deal with the added 13-16oz of...

    Roof slope and sidewall height (the real issue with ultralights)

    As more hunters embrace the brutally crowded ultralight one and two person tent market, I wanted to talk more specifically about roof pitch and sidewall height. Lots of shelters look great, but once you really get into research, I see a bunch of nice sleeping bags touching sidewalls/roofs...

    Facilitated elk hunting Debrief

    September was fun this year, we bumped elk, we heard elk, we smelled elk. Things got “western” a few times with camp visitors at night and a random surprise moose at close range and soaked boots and damn near high-centering my truck. Even without a bull on ground, it was a successful season in...

    Snyder Core Adhesive

    TLDR: Hot melt or Max Impact? I’ve never used anything but epoxy on inserts, but I like the idea of being able to pull out an entire insert and field point/broadhead combination if needed. Anyone ever use anything but hot melt for this type of application? What about the rubberized adhesive...

    Carter release for average to smaller hands

    I made a change to a thumb trigger release (Carter Wise Choice) and it’s starting to feel a bit chunky in the hand after a few hundred arrows. Some options that seems a bit more svelte are the Just B Cuz, Sensation, and Insatiable 3. Anyone here have an opinion on a slightly smaller thumb...

    One piece vamp boots

    Rokslide treehouse, I’m searching diligently for new mountain boots. I’ve had a dreadful experience with Zamberlan 1030 Sella’s on my last hunt and I’m done. I’m looking at purpose built hunting brands/models now. I’ve noticed that Kenetrek and Hoffman use a one piece vamp style upper on their...

    Getting into the backcountry shelter/hot tent game

    My days as a backpacking instructor twenty years ago has led me astray. Went on two hunts with a Big Agnes Copper Spur HV1 this October in Colorado. It fits the bill for many things, but hunting ain’t one of them. Nor is winter camping. Time to upgrade my kit. Ive read the threads about single...
