    Fanatic vs Incinerator

    IMHO ... YES! I am bow only as well. Sleeve length would be an issue for me in a Medium and the Large isn't bulky.

    Fanatic vs Incinerator

    5' 10" & 160 lbs. I would say Large for sure as you are larger than I am!

    Fanatic vs Incinerator

    If you live in CO, go over to 1shotgear as they have everything and you can try them all on. FWIW, I wear a medium in everything from FL. When it comes to Sitka I go with a large in jackets and a Medium in Bottoms. I can wear a puffy under my Incinerator (Large), but luckily haven't need to...

    Cold feet in the Whitetail Stand

    Last year my feet for pretty cold during Whitetail season. I was using Lacrosse Alphaburly Pro's (800 gram Thinsulate). This year, I figured I had the solution and I upgraded to the 1600 gram version! Not so fast .. feet still turned into blocks of miserable ice. I tried several sock...

    Down Mitts

    I have the FL Brooks Mittens and like them. Just keep in mind that the wind will go right through them, but minus wind they are nice and warm. I also use the FL Merino liners. I really like the Touch version for a bit more grip and ability to operate a phone w/o having to abuse the phone...

    Fanatic vs Incinerator

    I used both this past week in KS. Temps were at best 20's and down to ~11 deg and winds of up to 30 MPH. Overall, bloody unpleasant for ~14 hours in the stand! I also used a FL Sanctuary System. I do tend to be on the cold side as an upfront warning! My Feedback on the 3 systems: I like...

    Anyone tried CBD Oil

    I have found that "the fixer" salve from beam has worked well as a topical solution for me. They also have a product called "dream" which you mix in water to help with sleep that works great. It does have more than CBD in it, but I have been very pleased with it and I do consistently show...

    Hunting Pack Question: Kifaru vs Mystery Ranch vs Kuiu

    No experience with MR. I have a Kifaru Stryker and a 44Mag. I also have a Kuiu Icon. I have hauled Elk in both the Kuiu and the Icon and IMHO there is no comparison as to how Kifaru vs Kuiu carry the weight. Kifaru is the clear winner - IMHO. I actually like a lot of things about the Icon...

    Plantar Fasciitis - still....

    I had a nasty case a few years back during Archery season and it put me on my butt as it was so painful to put any weight on my feet. I went to my podiatrist who prescribed custom orthotics and I was back in business in a week. I was genuinely surprised who quickly my issues were resolved!

    Optic planet ?

    I have tried to place orders with them twice (well before COVID) and both times they came back with crazy lead times and I cancelled. My sense is that they have limited stock and place orders with manufactures / distributers based upon order demand.

    WTS First Lite Bramblers

    FWIW .. I just used my Bramblers in the ~10" of snow in CO last week and love them! They are also a touch baggy on my calves, but no issues with them falling down and very happy with how they performed!

    Lathrop vs. Sheep Feet

    One suggestion as a consumer of both Sheepfeet and L&S Custom Boots. Get a friend to help you when you make the casts (Sheepfeet) / tracings and such (L&S). I have a pair of L&S Mtn Hunter Elites and they are excellent. However for things like Spring Turkey and early season Elk when it's...

    Whitetail System Review

    I have only been hunting Whitetail for the past 6 years, so I'm no authority on the topic, but my .02 ... I agree that the Fanatic Jacket & Bibs are excellent. I also have the Equinox Hoody + Jacket and pants for when it's a bit warmer. I add layers underneath as necessary and it was served...

    politics in clothing, WHY?

    Why wouldn't you take this into consideration? It's the companies choice to make it public and an issue, therefore it's my choice to decide if I do business with them. Why would I knowingly give $'s to a company that openly supports views that are radically opposed to my own? In my eyes...

    No Bull trainers. I will occasionally throw in heel lifts instead of switching to a pure lifting shoe.
