    Pnuma rain gear

    I have the pnuma 3l and honestly it's really good for the money. I was in rain for a couple days straight and it saved my hunt. Quiet, seems durable. Can't recommend it enough

    Tuning my new RIP TKO

    I don't mind any easton components. I had great success with the 75 grain stainless half outs in my last build

    Tuning my new RIP TKO

    I had issues where they narrow. Bent many of them and gave them up on my old tko build. They're very long and bent really easily even in normal use. Some guys like them but I went to all steel or titanium after that experience

    The original victory rip is really dang good

    I always hated on the 60 without testing it but I haven't bent one yet or had any issues at all. I might try a 50 grain titanium from podium just for hunting but I might also just send it with the 60s. If this season goes well with them I'll likely buy a couple dozen and just run them for a...

    The original victory rip is really dang good

    Boys I might just hunt with the standard Rip insert and get some .003s and skip the .001s. I'm having great luck with these arrows and I'm pretty sure I'll use them moving forward. I still have some rip tkos, but I don't really see an advantage in most of my personal use case

    The quest for the right mid weight pants

    What's a good comparison for them? I've never bought anything from them and I really really like the pants I got. Quality feels amazing and the design is really solid.

    The quest for the right mid weight pants

    And 83$ right now from sitka.... I honestly always skipped the mountain pants because I love the Dakota for cold weather, I really love the ascent for hot weather and honestly the traverse are like the 308. Nobody sings their praise but everybody either has one or should have one just because...

    First Lite sanctuary 2.0, first impressions

    After 2 more nights of coyote hunting I can attest the jacket is windproof and the dwr works well for a surprise sleet/snow that I wasn't expecting. I like the bibs more than the jacket, but the high collar of the jacket is fantastic for hiding your face when the wind is blowing hard. For rifle...

    First Lite sanctuary 2.0, first impressions

    I'd agree with that. Sitka also has more technical design features, but some of them are a bit overkill for specific applications in my opinion

    Upland Pants

    That's fair, and I believe cathart quality is just not good anymore

    Upland Pants

    I'd agree with this, except for the wranglers work pants I've tried. Haven't got a fray or a hole yet and they just flat out impress me every time. I should really buy more just to have before they quit making them. I do run gaiters on the Bottom for wet days and that helps. Nylon pants that...

    First Lite sanctuary 2.0, first impressions

    Yeah I totally get that. I might see if I can add a button or a magnet to the collar to keep it down when I'm shooting. First lite sizing is really different by piece to me. Sitka just fits me consistently across the board but I'm kind of all over in FL

    SG Xcurve- great CS experience

    Lots of praise for their CS, I think that speaks volumes about their company as a whole

    Let’s talk temp ranges for layers…

    I'm a freeze baby, but I roast when active. So basically I have 2 "sets" of clothing Active hunts, I wear very little. Base layer appropriate for the temp and moisture management goals, (merino in the heat, synthetic in the cold) and a light to mid weight mid layer +/- baselayer bottoms and a...

    First Lite sanctuary 2.0, first impressions

    I have 2 more sits in this set of bibs and jacket. I'm impressed with the warmth, and the quietness under cold conditions. Not as quiet as the fanatic bibs but not loud at all. I think it might be warmer than fanatic bibs by quite a bit, but it's not nearly as good to move in
