I've been doing a lot of searching for opinions related to this topic as well as contacting Ultraview and some of their largest dealers directly. The search hasn't yielded many results as I have not come across a forum post, article or youtube review on it and the answers I have received from...
When was your order placed? I’ve called 2-3 times in the past week or so in attempt to get an update and although they have in the past, they won’t tell me what order I’m in for receiving mine. I understand they don’t have an update on when they’ll receive it but you’d think they could take a...
Had some time to look into the different options and hone in on what I think I need first.
Base layers: can always use more and the Core LW hoody was hands down the most mentioned so I might go for that.
As I mentioned, I have the FL Klamath and love it. This seems nearly identical to both...
I’m certainly not giving up on FL. I love the stuff I have from them and have no complaints. I’d like another set of merino base layers and I see no reason why I wouldn’t purchase from them again. I’m also not looking to jump brands or get the same articles of clothing from various brands. I...
Not trying to make this a Chevy Ford Dodge argument as stated in the original post. I listed the products I have and I do not have anything Sitka. Want to try some so wondering what products of Sitka are people’s favorite.
With that being said I appreciate you mentioning the FL furnace. I’ll...
I primarily hunt whitetails in northern Michigan. For that I have scent lok early season and very bulky Cabelas late season jacket and bibs.
For my first CO elk hunt earlier this month, I ended up picking up First lite merino top and bottom base layers, Klamath fleece hoodie and FL Uncomphadre...
First elk hunt for me coming up in a couple weeks, trying to gather all that I’ll need and I keep thinking about a light source for the dark hours once you’ve backpacked in and are either inside your tent or just outside the tent socializing with other guys in the group. I have a couple...
I purchased a well rated but Amazon cheap $40 inflatable sleeping pad about a month ago for an upcoming backcountry elk hunt I’ll be going on. I keep seeing so many ads and talk about the higher end sleeping pads that are 4-5 times what I paid. A comfortable sleep is I’m sure critical to...
I haven’t seen this discussed anywhere and I was just kind of curious but what do you guys think about the colors are camouflage ability of a backpacking tent when elk hunting? It seems like there are either bright colors or can be OD, FDE or camo. Does it matter? Are there any advantages to...
How is that comparable to use of the mini? Do you need to turn the mini off most of the day to last a 5-6 day hunt in the backcountry? Or are you able to leave the mini on? My only concern about turning it off would be not getting urgent messages for an emergency. I don’t expect this happen and...
An odd comparison so thought it was worthy of its own post and didn’t see anything like it but it is my current dilemma. Inreach explorers seem to be unattainable right now. That was probably going to be my choice. I plan to primarily use my phone for gps and want a satellite device for SOS in a...
Love those wrangler stretch pants from Walmart. Those are on my list to get. I actually wear them everyday for work. Very nice for the price. Not super durable but they’ll last me 4-6 months before the holes around the front pockets get too out of hand but I am a big fan.
Well I ended up spending a lot more than I had planned for but took advantage of the First Lite sale and went with the wick merino base layer top, kiln base layer bottom, Klamath hoody and uncompahgre puffy. I still may burn a cabelas gift card up on the space rain if thats strongly recommended...
