    VIAM vs EE Quilt

    I may have to give VIAM a call about the 0* quilt. I would like to hear more about it price, weight and bulk wise. I would rather have to much then not enough. It seems it would be very easy to vent the quilt for cooling off if you got to hot.

    VIAM vs EE Quilt

    The EE Prodigy only goes down to 20* were as the VIAM goes down to 10*. I hear that EE ratings are pretty accurate but I'm not sure about VIAM. Cost wise they are about the same price.

    Switching from bag to quilt

    I am in the same boat kinda. I have been thinking about trying a quilt myself but can't make up my mind on whether to go with down or synthetic. I live in Fairbanks, Alaska and like to do float hunts and fly-out hunts. I have made the switch over to a floorless tent and use a bivy to put my...

    New Bushnell Legend T-Series Spotting Scope with Mil-Hash Reticle

    Does anybody have any first hand experience with this spotting scope? I know it's fairly new and I know it's not top of the line but I don't have 1000's of dollars to spend either. I have read reviews where it runs neck and neck with the Leupold Mark 4. Thanks in advance. 450

    Recommended transport companies for Alaskan Caribou Hunting

    I have used all the above with great service from all. Coyote Air will probably be hard to get if you have never flown with them before. He mostly has repeat customer and they have first option. Good luck

    Best Stove

    Also, I forgot to mention the stove would only be used on fly-in/float hunts. I probably wouldn't be packing it much on my back so the little extra weight is not a deal breaker and again cooking would just be a bonus. Kevin, What makes the SXL lighter then the Medium or Large stove. Would the...

    Best Stove

    `The stove needs to be lightweight and packable. I would use it mostly for moose/caribou hunting (September-November). Wood wouldn't be a issue most places I would use the stove. Cooking on the stove would be a bonus and if it didn't work out then that's ok. I have a multi-fuel burning stove...

    I bought a Luna 6 floorless tent for hunting and I am thinking about maybe buying a wood stove to use in it later on. Which is the best wood stove on the market? I was looking at Seek Outside SXL Box stove and kind of liked that design. I like the box style because you could cook on top of it...
