    NRL Hunter setups good for actual hunting?

    I wouldn't want my NRL/PRS rifles for hunting only because they are heavy, but damn they sure are more pleasant to shoot. Seems like alot of guys carry a V for the tripod that clips into the arca rail, but i haven't done that yet. I always find a way to lay prone if I'm in a hunting application...

    Kill kit weights and ideas. Lets see yours? Ideas?

    Yeah I shouldn't have responded to that before I had my coffee. I think you're right 🤣

    Kill kit weights and ideas. Lets see yours? Ideas?

    I cut them off after they are in the game bags. For some reason I like having that lower leg as a handle of sorts to move around, but I definitely don't carry it out.

    Kill kit weights and ideas. Lets see yours? Ideas?

    Run the leg through the wrist strap just above the hoof on both trekking poles. Stand them up fully extended in a bipod/shooting stick format. If you watch Gritty/Lampers moose hunt they talk about it in one of the videos as well.

    Will you kill an elk anywhere?

    One if my dad's friends told me when I was a teenager "worry about killing them first, then figure out how to get them out". I've lived by those words and has treated me very well so far. One my biggest regrets when I was younger was hearing a bull bugle deep/or far down and not trying to...

    Man kill a guy for trying to keep his stuff organized. 🤷‍♂️ Please will the Rokslide police direct me to the correct verbiage.

    Kill kit weights and ideas. Lets see yours? Ideas?

    These seem very interesting and I can think of multiple uses for them as well. Might grab up a couple then just leave them attached to my paracord on my tarp. Thank you!

    I carry a pen and a small handful of zipties as well, but leave them in my med kit for some reason. Nice setup!

    Kill kit weights and ideas. Lets see yours? Ideas?

    I leave my tarp in my lid all the time. Definitely a multi use tool and find myself pulling it out more just to glass when it's raining/windy like a bastard, but it does go under my tent, clean meat laydown, and shelter when I'm to lazy to set the tent up.

    Kill kit weights and ideas. Lets see yours? Ideas?

    I learned a cool trick with using both your trekking poles and running the leg through the wrist strap to hold the leg up when doing it by yourself. Worked great for me so far. The pulley idea would work awesome as well!

    Kill kit weights and ideas. Lets see yours? Ideas?

    Whatever I need it for. Cutting branches for fire, clearing tent area, bones if I get pissed off and can't find the joint immediately, elk dies in a bad spot and got to cut things out of the way, etc. I've found the extra 6oz comes in handy at times.

    Kill kit weights and ideas. Lets see yours? Ideas?

    Just seeing what all you other Roksliders are coming in at for weight, or have in your kit. This one is for elk, but not much changes between species. Smaller Havalon looses sleeve and goes in my pocket during season. I add extra blades for both into the larger case. Roughly 2lbs 13oz. I used...

    MSR Trailshot for overnighters.

    Anker 26800

    I'm gonna give the Nitecore Carbo 20k a try, but my Anker 26k gives my S21+ about 6 charges at roughly at about 25%.

    MSR Trailshot for overnighters.

    BBob I look into that one. Seems very light as well. Some of the places I hunt have very small water sources, so would you think I would have to dig down be able to fill up the dirty bag on the BeFree? One of the only reason I've used a pump all these years.

    Recommendation for a tarp for my pack - mostly going to use to put quarters on but

    Near Zero waterproof footprint of amazon are what I've used for awhile. I keep it in my lid so I can use it for a quick glassing shelter, ground cloth for the tent, and I'm sure it would work to keep meat clean as well.

    MSR Trailshot for overnighters.

    Just curious who has used the MSR Trailshot for filtering water and their experience. Obviously it will be more difficult then my hiker pro I use now, but curious about your experience. I'm the guy that goes through 3-4 liters a day easily as well. Just trying to save a little weight and space...

    Fatigue / Pain Management on long hunts

    20mg of Adderall and 2 scoops of pre workout twice daily. Won't sleep, but won't feel a thing either.

    Backcountry hunt pack weight

    I'd be around 35-40lbs (with 3L of water) for a 5-6 day archery hunt. That's not including my bow and bino harness. Grizzley country im going be 3-4lbs heavier. I don't mind the extra weight at times and carry alot of luxury items depending on where I'm at. Could get the pack down a little but...

    Hunting with camp on your back?

    Just depends on where I'm at and what I'm hunting. Anytime I'm in idaho I find myself backpacking in, but I never do in Oregon. For me if the spot I want to be at by mid day is more then 6-7 miles in I'll probably do a overnighter or multiple nights if there are multiple basins to check out...
