    Leupold vs. Vortex

    Had both. Only have Leupolds now (with the exception of a Swaro I mounted on a mountain gun due to it's light weight). Lots of features for the money on the Vortex, but IN MY OPINION, the glass/clarity of similarly priced Vortex just does not compare to the Leupolds.

    Deadhorse as starting point?

    Nice pic Stid - They shut down the ol' Caribou Inn a couple winters back (not that you'd have wanted to stay there- very nasty) but there'sa few other places that'll put you up if they have rooms available. You're coming up right in the middle of turnaround season, and most places are pretty...

    considering a pair of the KUIU Zamberlan boots

    I like mine, but really stiff. Good for going up or down the steep stuff, not great for flat-landing- You can get 'em in different colors direct from Zamberlan, too

    Trijicon Accupoint 3-9 x 40

    I've got one of the 1-4x24 models on an AR; Nothing but good stuff to say about the Trijicon optics. Rugged, with great glass that's clear and super bright in low-light conditions. I have the single vertical post with the triangle and I love it, but I've had a buddy complain that the reticle...

    Kuiu performance - not as advertised! Beware

    Throw in $600 and I'll think about it. You can even keep your Grundies! (I've got a few sets of Hellys and Grundens laying around)

    Kuiu performance - not as advertised! Beware

    Kuiu's sending me a new set of the Yukon stuff - hoping this was a dud. They can keep the Ultra; I think I might try out a Stone Glacier pack (or I might just go back to my smelly, faded, 20 year old L.L.Bean pack that has never failed me yet). L.L. Bean may be kinda yuppie, but they make some...

    Kuiu performance - not as advertised! Beware

    Exertion level was moderate, but I wasn't sweating profusely by any means, and I was pretty well ventilated through the pit vents; the moisture I was experiencing was assuredly penetrating from the outside. This was directly evident by the visible saturation patterns on the jacket's liner.

    Kuiu performance - not as advertised! Beware

    There was a little alder busting going on towards the end of the hike (this was the day we were coming down off the mountain), but by the time we got down to tree line I was already fairly wet. The alders didn't help

    Kuiu performance - not as advertised! Beware

    So, I just returned from a 5 day ride/walk-in in the Talkeetna Mountains. While out there, I tested out some new of my new Kuiu gear for the first go on a real Alaska hunting trip. I had picked up a set of the Yukon outerwear earlier this spring, but had limited opportunity to really test it...

    Want to try Wilderness Athlete but Seriously?

    Stuff's awesome! Makes your piss this really cool green color, almost like Prestone anti-freeze. And if you have a blacklight........
