    Traction cleats for boots?

    Not sure about gravel shale etc but for hard pack snow/ice I really like Yak tracks. They have saved my butt many times. They are light and you can get ones with a Velcro strap or fashion a top strap just so they don’t pop off.

    I too have very sweaty and cold feet. Second on the fresh dry pair after the walk in, I sometimes do this with my base layer top as well depending on how strenuous the walk is. One thing that has worked for me is to apply antiperspirant it helps reduce the moisture a lot for me. Finding...

    Compound Bow Suggestions for Women

    You might also consider the Bowtech Eva Shockey. No personal experience, but several ladies and youth at our local range like it for your use case. Arrow tune and broad head selection will also be part of the equation to consider.

    1P trekking pole tent - Gossamer Gear The One

    @maxwellh86 is that a Deschutes in the background? If so curious on your thoughts/comparison of it vs the one, use of space, condensation, wind resistance etc. I have used the Deschutes a few times and overall foot print is good but the head room is pretty tight for me to love it. I am sure...

    Boots when things get cold

    @Wildhorse Absolutely agree double boots with extra liners are a better option for very cold and extended trips, and you must dry your feet well nightly, and trench food can be a very real risk. That said a VBL keeps your boots and socks dry and there for warmer, this technique has been used by...

    Merino Base Layers

    I have had very good luck with Icebreaker merino t-shirts. Have had 2 for probably 10 years. It is my base in most any conditions. Typically go synthetic layers past that. They are pretty warn out at this but with small holes and runs still kicking and just fine for haunting purposes. Wear for...

    New to archery.. picking arrows and broad heads!

    I am sure there will be lots of opinions abound on this one :) as what you want is something that will tune at the lower weight and then also be able to tune to the Highter weight when you get there. If you get the right spine in a full length you may be able to tune it by cutting and or adding...

    I left a very nice Ross reel on the bumper and drove off a few years ago. Heading out one night after dark and passed a truck with a very nice spotter sitting on top the tool box.

    Solo and a 3 person Tent?

    I have had the tigerwall3 for a couple of years now and have still have the same debate you have. IMO its great for 2 and good weight to space. Its much lighter than my old clip flashlight so it almost always comes before the smaller heavier 2 man even for just solo. That said it is heavy for 1...

    Insoles, or no...

    Depending on conditions, one thing to consider is that in addition to comfort and arch support the insole provides insulation from the cold ground. I have a buddy that some how only put one insole in his boots on a very cold below zero trip. One foot now has several toes with frost bite the...
