    My gear/pack layout from base layers to binos

    Atlantic Rancher Ranger Sweater came in today. It feels incredible. Super robust, soft, and almost airy feeling. The neck closing is smaller than what I am used to having. It is not uncomfortable just is sitting higher up on the collarbone. A heftier weight buff might have a tough time going...

    Sitka Intercept vs Kuiu Kutana

    I have both. Kutanas handle heat better, lighter weight and dry faster. Intercept is IMO way quieter, and you have the odor management and knee pads if that’s something that matters to you. This is just my two cents but if I was hunting hotter more open country I’m running kutanas. If I’m...

    What type of shotgun for upland birds?

    Weatherby Orion O/U 20 gauge. First time I shot the sporting clays course it was like reuniting with an old friend. Fit is so important. If you want to learn more, the Birdshot Podcast hosted by Nick Larson has been a wealth of information. I mostly hunt ruffs and woodcock in northern MN, the...

    Good book suggestion for winter read list

    Cormac has a very particular style of using little to no punctuation which makes a lot of his sentences at times seem like an unfinished thought. First time I read him it took me a bit to get used to it but once that coding switched on it was like reading normally. It is hard to get a flow...

    Canoe Barrel Harness/pack info

    First time in the BWCA was at 11 months, grew up going there at least once a year for a long while. I really dislike the barrels. I prefer a big dry bag hanging from a tree. If you do go that route, the dry bag can go in whatever relatively cheap (or not) pack that whoever portages a canoe...

    2024 Plans & Gear Upgrades

    Probably late in the game, but I have been extensively thinking about it. Grabbing a Rossi Tuffy Turkey .410 and throwing a RDS on it. I'd get to do some testing and patterning with the intent to take it fall turkey hunting. All in sub 4 lb turkey gun which would lend itself to the way I like...

    2024 Plans & Gear Upgrades

    All I wanted to do when I was a kid was chase ducks and geese so I get it! Grouse is my main passion now but I still get out quite a bit for ducks each year. Luckily ducks in the morning and grouse after breakfast is usually on the table.

    Kuiu bird vest fall 2024

    That is the crux of bird vests and also why it is very obvious who actually hunts in the development team when a company releases a bird vest.
