    Pack Frame Build Questions

    Thanks Colonel, I’ll keep an eye on the classifieds, but it’s pretty satisfying when someone asks where you bought a piece of gear, and you tell them you made it yourself. 5shot, would you go with 1/16” hdpe or 1/8”?

    Pack Frame Build Questions

    How hard are they to bend to shape? One concern I had with the pre-bent stays was if they didn’t fit I’d have to shape them anyway.

    Pack Frame Build Questions

    I've been toying with the idea of building a duplex style frame. I figure my current pack has about a year left on it, and with my sewing abilities I figure I better round up supplies and get an early start. Reading Tartan and 5shot's posts from their builds couple years ago has given me...

    Mule Deer Rifle

    I used a .270 for a number of years and it served me well. Got a little grass is greener syndrome and ended up sending it down the road and got a 7mm-08, and honestly I think I have found my ideal deer rifle. Less powder, less recoil, and in a shorter barrel the ballistics are similar to my 270...

    New hunting knife recommendations

    After seeing the nice knives on this thread I almost didn’t comment on my preferred hunting knife, but it has been a good little knife and impresses me each time I use it. It’s a victorinox paring knife with a 3.25 inch blade, they also make a 4 inch knife. It takes a good edge and is easy to...

    Utah Rifle Deer

    I wouldn't make her go out if she doesn't want to. If she is willing to go, I would go into it knowing it will mostly be a good scouting trip with your wife during a great time of the year. If you see something and she gets excited that's great, if not, you found a good place for next year and...

    Please help me find an entry level pack on a budget

    Thats a great offer from Can't hit em. I've had a couple kelty's and they are pretty comfortable packs. That would also give you a chance to see what you like and what you don't, without spending a bunch of money. You could then save an extra $100-200 bucks towards the pack you really want...

    Budget edc/daypack ideas

    Ive been using a Kelty Redwing 50 for the last 4 years. It has held up surprisingly well and is quite comfortable. Originally I was worried about its durability but I've hauled out full bone in elk quarters and it has done awesome. Sadly, they recently redesigned these packs and I don't...
