    Pants for those who don’t skip leg day

    Thanks again for all the replies and suggestions here guys. Out of the hunting brands, the Stone Glacier look most interesting to me with the adjustable waist and I like that the cargo pockets are situated more to the front than the side. I may check those out. May also try the Kuiu Attacks in...

    Pants for those who don’t skip leg day

    Thanks bud, I’ll look into these. I want to say I tried the EB guides at one point but didn’t like the fit. Or it may have been the small cargo pockets. I may go back and take a look. No experience with Prana but I’ll check the local REI to see if they have them. I don’t know if I’m a fan of...

    Pants for those who don’t skip leg day

    I just recently came across these in my search and they do look good. Do they fit loose? Are they a different fit than the regular version? There was a review on the regular version that I dug up here on Rokslide that some guys were saying it was an “athletic fit” and kind of snug. Any thoughts...

    Pants for those who don’t skip leg day

    agree on the Duluth sizing and shape. Although I don’t know that the seize up on my legs any more than any other pants. As far as Kuhl, it looks like the Silencr Cargo pant is the option that checks the boxes. Is this what you’re recommending? A little put off by the “tapered leg” description...

    Pants for those who don’t skip leg day

    So I’ve actually used the Duluth DOTF stretch pants for a couple years now and while they do fit fine, they aren’t very durable IMO. I walked around all last season with a big gash on one of the knees from catching a limb on a deadfall. Not the end of the world but I want to see what else is out...

    Pants for those who don’t skip leg day

    Alright guys, pants are the bane of my existence for the 1-2 times per year (or every other year) that I actually shop for clothes. I’m 5’8, ~200# (probably will be around 190# by elk season) and usually fit 32-33 size waist in most pants. 30-32” inseam. Since this isn’t a dating site, I won’t...

    So are you saying you would or wouldn’t try to fall those that are hung up in the branches of another tree?

    Thanks. Most of the dead standing trees that I’m seeing out there are on the 6-8” diameter size that have fallen into another tree and were caught by the branches before it could fall completely over. I guess these are called snags. Would you (or anyone else reading) be concerned with trying to...

    Ok Silky it is. Do you happen to know much about this other model Silky? It’s a little longer blade and reviews are really good. Or are you recommending the fixed handle for durability reasons...

    Thanks, I was looking at this one as well since it had a longer blade. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B084GSY5KY/ref=sspa_mw_detail_0?ie=UTF8&psc=1&pd_rd_i=B084GSY5KYp13NParams

    Good tip thanks! That definitely would have been overlooked.

    No doubt! Haha. And I agree that the effort is worth it for this area. Just want to make sure we’re being safe and efficient.

    Widow Makers at Camp

    Thanks for some of the safety tips on what to look out for by some of y’all. Good stuff to consider. There may be a small clearing adjacent to our original camp site that had some smaller pine trees (6-8” diameter) leaning toward that clearing. It may be a better idea to move camp and deal with...

    Widow Makers at Camp

    We camped in the area. I wouldn’t want to make that 1100’ hike everyday (twice) much less needing to do it in the dark. It’s honestly not an option for this area due to the terrain on that climb IMO. We are on somewhat of a finger ridge/drainage next to a creek and out of the way of travel...

    Ok so a dead tree standing alone or leaning on another tree is called a “snag”? Huh, I’ve always called them widow makers.

    I was waiting for this comment haha! It’s steep and nasty to get into. 1100’ elevation change in less than 3/4 miles. We found this area at the end of our 2019 season and got into elk each day we were there, and went back and got my first bull in there last year. I’m hesitant to say it yet, but...

    Widow Makers at Camp

    I should have added that I live 16 hours from this area. Summer scouting is probably out this year. I also considered the risk factor but I think I would sleep better at night knowing they were cleared. Also, my hunting partner and I have about the only spot big enough for two tents that I’m...

    I guess I should also add that this needs to be an efficient method too, nothing that’s going to take all day to get done.
