    Obnoxious about layering.

    You have 5 hooded jackets!? What about base layers and mid layers? Seems like a ton of overlap and nothing I would want to hike in. We do a week long hunt in similar weather (25° - 60° with lots of rain/snow) that involves a 6 mile hike in to where we camp. I’ve done this hunt 3 times. During...

    First lite

    The cactus spikes in the sage is brutal! Even hunting rifle out there, I got down twice to shoot over my backpack and got punctured all over. I would think aftermarket Cordura knee pads would be in order for the crawl. Good fingerless Mechanix Wear gloves perhaps as well?

    Best strategy for tall, wet grass?

    Give the ECWCS Gore tex pants a look. They are plenty loose which keeps them cool and they're what I wear when I know I'm going to get wet. They don't ever soak through. They are easy to get on and off over my boots and super waterproof. Otherwise I'd go commando under my rain gear and have...

    Quiet outer shell (windproof and somewhat waterproof)?

    I wear a lot of merino wool as many of us do here and though they are quiet, scent free, and warm they sure do not block the wind! My puffy tends to make a swooshing sound and my rain jacket is quiet during the rain but not during silent cold sits. Both these thing block wind but don’t work...

    Options for a giant "group kitchen" tarp?

    When I hunt in a group we usually end up bringing 3 to 4 tents and set up a tarp to cook under. The tarp area ends up being our community area after dark and aside from sleeping it is by far the place we'll spend the most time at camp in. Our camps have evolved over the years and we now bring...

    Bino Case? Or no?

    I found I would not carry binos unless they were in the carrier. I am normally a Midwestern hunter but like to carry binos in the field however they would stay in my backpack as a heavy expensive weight. I couldn't carry them for more than a mile around neck until I went out West and got an...

    WTS/WTT Filson Mackinaw Cruiser 100% wool (red)

    I've had this for a few years, I thought it would fit me but it's a bit too tight (I'm a 44 chest, usually wear Filson Large). I have a ton of Filson gear and just love this stuff! In great condition. The first picture is the best representation of the color, the second too pictures turned out...

    Gloves

    I started using deerskin gloves last year for everything down to about 15°. Deer skin is far more supple than cow leather, has some insulation value and does great when wet and after drying. Great gloves!

    Yeti Panga 75 Review, By Ryan Avery

    I use the North Face Base Camp duffels for work travel and hunting gear. They have been extremely durable. My work bags have been around the world many many times and still work great. Exposed in a downpour they can let a few drops in because the seams aren't sealed but they have been great...

    WTS/WTT Maxpedition Condor II in Khaki, $105 shipped

    Don't know if this is of any interest here. Bought 4+ years ago and didn't use because I have 2. Classic Maxpedition tough as nails gear. Great bag, basically new. $105 PayPal F&F shipped in the USA. Might trade for anything of the same value hunting related.

    Cotton Kills. Or does it?

    I live in cotton in the city, love jeans and a cotton t-shirt or flannel. In the woods I will wear cotton for the toughness (filson pants or an old flannel) but have been caught in the rain and it sucks to be soaked and cold. It also takes days to dry if it's cold. If I know it's going to rain...

    20° to 60° week long deer hunt: can't decide on top insulation.

    Are you guys recommending no vest and bring a puffy instead? I hate to continually put on and take off a puffy and hoped I could just leave a vest on more often.

    20° to 60° week long deer hunt: can't decide on top insulation.

    I have a early November hunt in the Northern Midwest that usually has rain, a day or 2 of snow, and sometimes a sunny day in the 60's. Nights are around freezing. We pack in 8 miles so I don't want to bring too much. The hunt is all still hunting in old timber and swamps. I'm thinking about the...

    WTS Knock off Speedcross 3CS shoes, 11

    I bought these thinking they were real and it's really hard to find the digicam version in the USA. Unfortunately they are not genuine. They are actually really well made but are a bit narrow for my feet (as the genuine ones are as well). They are listed as 11.5 but fit like an 11. I wear 11...

    WTB Large waterproof duffel

    Looking for something 120L or more to carry gear in on a cart. Something tough and heavy is OK. Used is fine.
