Tripod advice

This is what I did. Got an older model Promaster XC-525C for under $200 from Cameraland. So far its held up great. The factory head is definitely usable and thats what I ran on my hunt last year. I did get the VA-5 head for this year.

Quality Tripod that won’t require a personal loan.

Sirui VA-5 VS Manfrotto MVH500AH

Pants like Prana Zion

EB Guide Pro pants. They fit closer to the skin around the thighs compared to the Prana Zions that I have, but the material stretches so its not uncomfortable by any means.

Stone Glacier or EXO

I ran the the SG Krux Evo 3300 last year and it carried the weight great. If you have the opportunity, try out both the Krux and X-Curve frames, load them up with 45lbs, and hike a mile. How the pack fits is decided by which frames fits you the best. Both frames fit my back great so I went with...
