Ultralight is done....now Ultracheap

Check your local army surplus store. Ive bought lots of goodies there for cheap. Goretex parkas, Altima boots, a Granite Gear pack, wool socks, nice leather belt, etc.

I grew up putting bread sacks in my boots to keep my feet dry and hand me down stuff. Suffered and froze sitting in a ditch waiting for geese to fly my uncle didn’t leave till they flew. Then you better not miss because we have to wait till they come backif you do .Learned lots of lessons the hard way. I really value my good gear. I have spent more money on cheap garbage vs just saving and buying quality. But one thing that’s cheap and works is wool mittens with a light pair of gloves.

Ultra cheap is Ultralight. Dont buy it, then you dont have to pack it. Win-win.

Spend time really figuring out what a "need" is and what a "want" is.

Best boning knife out there...

What blade is that? I had an older Victorinox that I lost that had a shape similar to that, all the new ones that I've seen have a flat section up until maybe 1.5" from the tip and then the sweep. It just doesnt look or feel the same and my previous one which I recall having a more gentle curve the full length of the blade like yours.

I’m VERY new to quality gear. Last year was the first year in about 33 years of big game hunting that I didn’t use a military surplus ALICE pack for hauling them out. (Used a used pack I bought off of here)

Wrangler pants are great, but what’s with the skinny jean cut? My calves make my wrangler pants look “curvy”!

The absolute best “cheap gear hack” I have found is a havalon brand blue plastic scalpel handle and a bulk pack of 100 blades.
