What's your opinion on wearing leg gaiters?
I wear mine every season every and all day. Sagebrush is a killer on any type of pants. -
Fitness for altitude change comparison
The masks are only good for the time you wear them. As soon as you remove them you are back to where you started. I have been training at a much lower altitude since the eighties and I train like I hunt without the altitude. Best advice is to take your time the first few days. I drive and This... -

go to elk call
Since I started Elk hunting in the 80s I have always used a Sceery cow call. It has treated me well over the years and have never changed to a different one. -
Finding a reliable hunting partner
This has always been a tough one for me. The hunting partner that Archery hunted with me out west on and off for 16 years passed away about 7 years ago. I had done solo trips without him and enjoyed them but it is fun when you have another hunter to share the experience. Since then I had put...- Archerm

Weight simulation for backpacking
I use a pillow case full of pea gravel. I keep 70lbs in my pack at all times this time of year. I just lay the pack flat and compress it in place and it stays nicely and doesn't shift when trekking.- Archerm

NEW Kifaru Frame & Suspension Review
Looks like the New frame will distribute the weight out differently and over a larger area. The bikini which I have has a much narrower distribution of weight. It is more in the middle of the back. I have a bikini and haven't had any issues. The new frame is much like the duplex but lighter and... -

Critique my Gear List
Nice keep it up! I always tell friends that have never been is to train like you are going to hunt. Work on body parts you have or might have problems with. I am a big fan of core exercises and leg workouts. Cardio will help your lungs as well. Stay within your abilities and move on from there... -
Critique my Gear List
Any Idea how far you will be packing in? If you are camping at the truck and hiking in everyday you wont have that much pack weight. Have you ever packed above 6000ft. We always park at around 7500ft then pack in 3-5 miles to around 8500ft so what we need we carry. Have you tried packing locally... -
Critique my Gear List
Just know where you will get your water. I go through at least 3 liters of water a day. I just use the water out of my bladder when not near water and refill when I am close to water. I normally have a hot chocolate coffee mix about mid morning and one hot meal in the evening. That is only 2... -
Critique my Gear List
ndbwhunter when you get everything together throw it in your DT1 and step on the scale. I think you will be surprised how fast it all adds up. 10 days you are probably looking at a minimum of 15-20 lbs of food and that first 3 liters of water which weighs 6.6lbs so just in water and food you... -

Critique my Gear List
Hmmmm no sleeping pad? That is one thing I cant do without. Since I get very little sleep a pad is a must for me. That and multiple pairs of socks are the two things that are a must have.Allen wrenches and bow tools I leave at the truck, check everything on your bow before you hit the trail. The... -
Critique my Gear List
I carry three Kifaru meat bags and pack things in them when not in use. I always debone and cool my meat before packing it in the meat bags.I am not a fan of carrying out bone weight now that I am older. I also have 2 plastic bags to put the meat in the stream where camp is. I leave all other... -
