No kids yet but my Dad potty trained me pheasant and dove hunting. Cut leg holes and a slit on the top for my head in the game pouch on the back of his vest and carried me all day. He told me if I peed on him I had to stay home with Mom. Worked like a charm. He also had me in the duck blind or...
Yeah it’s a pullover and not a jacket but with a merino base layer, the fanatic hoodie, and a down vest underneath it I was plenty warm down into the low 20s in Wisconsin. Plus it’s very quiet
I picked up the Nomad Cottonwood on sale last year and was really happy with it. Windproof Berber fleece like the Fanatic but for about 1/4 of the price. Only downside is it’s a half zip because it has a kangaroo pocket so getting it on in the tree was a little difficult.
Used to listen to the podcast because he had some intriguing guests but he swung and missed with some potentially great conversations. The rambling at the beginning of the podcasts got worse and worse and the final straw was all of the political talk during the election last fall when he kept...
I learned the importance of knee pads and good leather gloves. After the first several stalks and rolling over to pull cactus out of my legs or hands learned those lessons the hard way

Kuiu Peloton 240 if active. Not 100% windproof but definitely very wind resistant as well as breathable and very quiet. Also have a Sitka Nimbus jacket that is a packable windbreaker thats not as quiet but isn’t too bad for a windbreaker shell
240 is better at cutting wind so it goes everywhere with me. But the 210 still has a spot in my lineup where it can replace my softshell when its warmer out or I don't want the bulk. Sometimes wear it as a midlayer too if I plan on shredding off layers throughout the day.
