    Tiburon Pants - Kuiu

    I am a bit husky. To get thigh and seat room I size up my kuiu pants and just let the waist. I would say they are roughly the same cut as the attacks. I like them but now prefer the Kutana for all but the warmest conditions. I have owned and worn Sitka, First lite, prana and a few...

    Patagonia R1 vs Sitka Heavyweight Hoody

    I have and use both. I would say the Sitka is a little more fuzzy on the inside. I couldn’t tell you a functional difference other than I prefer the Sitka fit slightly, but that is more of a personal factor. I have a First lite grid fleece piece that was a predecessor to the Klamath but I am...

    Sitka Ambient and Mountian Evo ?

    I own both and haven’t run them together. My EVo is a bit snug for too much layering.

    Origin Jeans

    Really liking mine. They hav become my go to for casual wear. Not sure how well they would hold up to abuse, but I can see a couple more pairs in my future.

    Whistles

    This. best bang for your buck and weight in terms of signal in the event of an issue IMO. When I am on a “deep” woods adventure, I carry a small kit in my pants pocket that contains a whistle And some other basics.

    2024 Mystery Ranch Hunting Packs

    I am 6’3”. #250. Fairly muscular back. I run my MR packs adjusted a little shorter than they suggest. Works for me. I tried Kifaru but never loved the fit. Different strokes for different folks.

    Eastern non meat carrying backpack recs

    Marine FiLBE or an army pack with a suspension upgrade is a heck of a hauler. Used SATL from mystery ranch too. You have to be a shopper, but you can find them fairly cheap from liquidators or on eBay. if you want to step up to a good brand, mystery ranch updated their frame, so the old...

    Leather belt recommendation for daily use and concealed carry?

    Hanks and mapul are good options. I have a filson that is great. my favorite belts are actually full grain leather made by an Amish guy in PA. I bought a pair for $22 each and they are over 10 years old.

    The best vest-less system for turkey hunting (imo)

    Not really much of a turkey hunter. I run a cabelas vest sometimes and sometime I just run a day pack. I take it off and put it in front of me when I set up.

    Pants discussion (Timberline, Attack, De Havilland)

    I have been a long time attack fan. Stroll prefer them over FL and Sitka for fit and function. I just bought my first pair of Kutana. Same basic design but a lighter fabric. I think these will be my go to from now on.

    Iron Will Broadheads

    I bought some. Haven’t used them in the field enough to say for sure if they work but I suspect they will do the job. They fly a bit different than my go to muzzy trocars.

    Gear Storage Inside or Outside

    north east PA here. Most of my gear lives in totes year round in my basement. the stuff I keep in my garage doesOK. With our temps, we can get enough heat to cause long term issues with fabrics delaminating and bow limbs and such. Freezing can also be an issue for some things. The...

    Vest wearers - if you only had one, what would it be?

    In 2022 I would have said something like Patagonia nano puff. Today I would say Sitka ambient or similar Alpha insulation vest Much better active layer.

    Advice for mounting NX8 2.5-20 F1on a 300 Win Mag

    FWIW, I went with a rial. have NF medium rings on a mountain tactical rail on my tikka. It adds a few ounces but I wanted to have more flexibility to find the right eye relief Than direct mount rings offered.

    Why do we buy soft shells?

    hmmmmm. they have there place IMO. i concede the argument against them is compelling And when I am counting ounces, mine rarely make the cut. They are the classic Jack of all trades, master of none. Not waterproof, not super breathable, not that warm, somewhat heavy. However, I think you...

    Sighting in a .22

    Agree with 50. Think about 25 or so if you really want to be precise with close in shots on pests or small critters (head shots on squirrels). with a 50 yard zero you will have 3-7 inches of bullet drop at 100. If you do a lot of shooting at that range, then you will need to dial or work...

    Mike Tyson VS Jake Paul

    Not a fan of Jake Paul, but I have to concede that he can box fairly well and he is a big guy. Been a Tyson fan for a long time. He has earned the right to do stupid stunts but I don’t like to see this. Prime Tyson would smash this guy. Late 50s Tyson is taking a chance that he gets...

    Molle Marsupial Bino Pouch

    @TandKHunting what does the back of that bino pouch look like? ie, are there molle pals slots on the back to mount it? @Crews I run a blue force gear older molle minus rack. I looked high and low a few years ago and there weren’t a lot of options for a bino pouch that mounted via mollle...
