I feel this exact same way! Or they charge an arm and half a leg to get a D loop tied on. For these reasons i have gone to doing all my own work, yes it takes me awhile watching videos but dang does it feel good when your bow shoots spectacular and you did it all yourself.
Dont be scared to ask other hunters around you for help packing out. I know if you came to my camp and asked for help getting an animal out 2 of us would jump out of bed to help a fellow hunter!
Welcome! Just west of the Twin Cities myself.
Anyone got any good hiking spots to prepare for the west? Just have a local sledding hill for now but looking for something for some bigger hikes for the summer.
Where did you get the neoprene from? I have been wanting to make something similar since I got my spotter, just waiting to get the sewing machine from the mother in-law.
Anyone have experience with both? I'm mostly wondering about durability and wind stopping wise. I have read tons of great reviews of the lost parka but have never personally seen one. My brother has the Kelvin WS Hoodie and I'm super impressed with it. Yes it's not very packable but I'm willing...
