    Need advice for first fancy boots

    No, the other crispi models the store carried weren't really what I was looking for so I didn't try them on. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

    Need advice for first fancy boots

    Ended up purchasing a pair of crispi Idaho gtx's. They felt pretty comfortable at the store, but both feet were sore around the backs of my heels after the first time out in them- bout 1.5 miles. Did 4 miles a couple says later, same thing but not as bad, more an issue with the right than the...

    Need advice for first fancy boots

    Thanks for all the feedback, very much appreciated. Tried the kennetrek mountain extremes on, was surprised how stiff they were, was almost like walking in ski boots. Does that go away after break in? Gonna get the opportunity to try some crispi's on in a couple weeks. Sent from my...

    Need advice for first fancy boots

    Up until this year I've been able to get by just fine with muck boots for most of my hunting. A couple friends and I decided we are going to go out west in 2019 to chase elk so I picked up a slightly used pair of Irish setter elk trackers on here. They were great for about 75 miles and then I...

    Feedback on some 2P tent options

    I'm in the same boat as you and after months of hemming and hawing, I'm stuck between the dagger 2p and the nemo hornet 2p over the copper spur hv ul2. The dagger is a tad bit heavier than the copper spur, but the materials are more durable and more square footage. The only reason the hornet...

    EXO 3500, worth the investment?

    I got an EXO 5500 a couple months ago or so for an elk hunt that is almost two years away cause like you, I can't afford that on top of the trip costs. I had my search narrowed down to EXO, Stone Glacier and MR. I remember the day before I ordered, telling a friend that I couldn't believe I...

    Good Bear Spray/Pistol Holster setups

    How are you carrying your bear spray/pistol (or both) on the waist belt? Or are you carrying them somewhere you feel has faster access? Ordered an exo 5500 the other day, are there any setups that work particularly well on the exo waist belt? Thanks.

    Food for a week

    I have used the 5 day plan spelled out in the link below on backpacking trips with good results. He targets 2lbs and 3500 calories per day, but you can cut some stuff out pretty easy if you want to cut calories or weight. 5-Day Ultralight Backpacking Meal Plan - Erik The Black's Backpacking...
