    Who wears rubber gloves to clean game ?

    I always carry a few pairs of nitrile gloves in my pack and use them regularly for field dressing. Makes clean-up easier. Almost always end up tearing them, though.

    How do you keep moisture out of safe??

    I'm fine with a big silica pack (about a pound) that goes into the kitchen oven every once in a while

    Bino Pack/pistol set up

    I would never put my sidearm on the pack, it‘s on me, nowhere else. I run the Marsupial harness with the holster attached to the bottom of the harness. Works great for me!

    Backpack Stoves

    My go-to is an MSR Reactor, but just to add something more "exotic": did you consider a liquid fuel stove like the MSR Whisperlite? I love the idea that these things run on pretty much anything. I've got 6 ft of a small diameter hose wrapped up with my Primus Omnifuel so that I can help myself...

    Single man shelters

    Can't praise my Hilleberg Niak enough, absolutely love it. It's not cheap, but rock solid and if not the most light-weight option, still pretty packable.

    Lighter spotter

    I've got the 553 and absolutely love it. Packable, light, goes everywhere. On the other hand, if I already had the 883 I guess I would just stick with it. Not sure if you wouldn't miss the 883 when looking through her little sister...

    Would like some opinions on 10x42 binoculars I'm considering, $500 (soft) limit

    I've got a pair of Meopta MeoPro 10x42 HD and am really happy with them. Those should be roughly in the same price range (don't now how much they are, now). I guess they are comparable to the Nikon M7.

    Marsupial Bino Pack: Mag v No-Mag

    I've got the magnetic bino pouch and the magnetic RF pouch. Since it in fact does interfere with my compass etc. I only use it in situations where landnav is not necessary, which is 99 % of my hunting situations, tbh. For that, this setup is just great, I love it. Except for the compass issues...

    Marsupial Gear Bino Harness-Magnet Issues?

    I've got the magnetic bino harness with magnetic RF pouch and it definitely throws my compass of by quite a margin. Definitely not using this setup anymore as soon as landnav could become necessary.

    Magnetic Bino Harness / RF Pouches - A Visualization

    That's interesting. I wrote them a few weeks ago and they told me that there is going to be a non-magnetic RF pouch next year.

    Read about it but never thought it would happen to me

    Oh great, thanks for sharing... I've got a pair of 2021 SX50s and will from now on wait for cracking sounds literally everytime I draw :)

    Boot fit - Lowa vs Hanwag

    Why are the Hanwags a no go? Is it a matter of fit or did they have quality issues? Just interested.

    Kowa 553 for bear

    Can't say anything about how it performs on bears but it is definitely the scope I don't mind packing on any hunt. I mean, it's tiny, lightweight, optical quality is great. Never missed a 65 since I own the Kowa 553.

    Hill Style/ASL Longbows Anyone?

    I put my name on the list for a St Patrick Lake Yukon Styk a few days ago. Yew cores with clear glass - can't wait to lay my eyes and put my hands on it, but there's still eight months to go. Erik, the bowyer, is a great guy to be in touch with.
