    Kuiu - Loden vs Olive

    If you like the olive, you might like their ash color also. It's become my go-to color for Kuiu gear. The pics on their site make it look way too brown. In actuality, it's much more on the green side IMO. These pics of the Divide look pretty accurate color-wise...

    Crispi Nevada vs Salomon Quest 4 D

    I can't speak to changes, but I recently bought a pair of Crispi Kenai (same as Nevada, but with top grain leather) and I would not call them wide at all. I have an average foot and they fit great.

    Montana hunting partner from the Pacific NW

    FYI - I responded to 400's partner request via PM several months ago and we hit it off. We live about 10 min from each other and share similar personalities/traits/interests so hopefully this turns out to be an awesome friendship. Plans for Montana next year have already begun. Having hunted...

    I have a similar setup - Carter WC and Truball HBC. Where did you get the UV knob? I couldn't find it.

    Thumb release

    Your brand choice is up to you - there are lots of good options - but style is most important IMO. By style I mean whether it's a clip-on or hinge style release. Hinges are GREAT for training and practice, but I wouldn't hunt with one. Hinges only have a hook so you'll never be able to clip...

    The Wise Choice has been good for me. Dudley has some really good instructional videos regarding form and anchor points if you're interested.

    The best thing I've found for TP is: 1, Draw, but DON'T shoot. a. Draw, focus on form, use a BIG point of aim (make it really easy), hold for ~1min, then let down. 2. Repeat these dry runs until the urge to punch the trigger are gone. a. This happens pretty quickly because the mind stops...

    Binocular Harness Head to Head

    Good point on sound; I've found that it depends on which binos I'm using with my FHF. My Nikon's are pretty quiet, but my Kowa's squeak pretty bad. Not sure if it's due to a different rubber compound or that the Kowa's are a tighter fit...or maybe a little of both.

    WTS WTS kuiu Yukon set

    100%. I picked up a set during the recent sale and thought it was a good deal, but this is a steal.

    Raingear for PNW?

    Lots of good info here. Don't forget to bring a rain cover for your backpack or you'll be hauling around a lot of water weight. They only cost $20-30 on Amazon. No need for an expensive one.

    Overwhelmed Whitetail Newbie

    The "buy once, cry once" mantra is great, but IMO isn't a good approach for people just starting their hunting journey; and certainly not when funds are limited. I say this because when you're first starting out, you really don't know what works (for you) and what doesn't. You might buy an...

    Best headlamp (waterproof with replaceable batteries)

    I haven't had latching issues, but mode selection has been an exercise in frustration for me. The main light hasn't worked in a long time on mine.

    Question for Kuiu users

    This is what I was trying to say, but you gave a much better explanation.

    Question for Kuiu users

    IIRC, the key is to have the side straps loose when hooking/unhooking that center tab. If the sides are cinched down it's much harder.

    KUIU Pro 3600 or MR Metcalf?

    I think you made a really good choice. IMO the value you get from Kuiu packs is hard to beat. I just bought an EXO K3 4800 (no use yet) and I'm sure it'll be awesome, but I'm also certain that my Kuiu 3600 will get more use than the EXO. The KUIU is a better day pack IMO and I really like the...

    Okay, Prana nerds, which pant now?

    I have Renegade and Radikl styles. The Radikl are my favorites for the stretch panels. Both are lightweight pants so they aren't intended for construction. Kuhl does make heavy duty pants if you need them.

    Okay, Prana nerds, which pant now?

    Kuhl would be my choice. They're not as stretchy as the original Prana's, but I find the fit and function to be much better for daily wear. I really like the side phone pocket. The button/snap thing is my only gripe.
