    Anybody rucking?

    I weighed everything I need for a 3-4day hunt and came up with 32#, so I have beed rucking with an old pack loaded to about 32 lbs once per week, about 3 miles. Hit 60 last year so it is a good low impact workout. Probably step up weight, hills or distance as hunting season nears. Will be in...

    What to eat while truck camping

    I get in after dark and want to be in bed ASAP so it's out of a can. Mornings I hit the trail early so it's two granola bars thrown my day pack and out the door. No time for meal prep or dishes. And having stayed in camp where a number of folks prepped lots of food and rary did dishes is just...

    Eureka Timberline old school tent

    My first decent tent was a 2 man eureka timberline. I still own it - it is probably 30 years old. Super easy setup and lots of room inside. Eureka quality has always been pretty decent in my experience.

    Anyone tried the RAB bags that Go Hunt now has

    did you go with the RAB? The Neutrino 600 (10F bag) looks pretty good at $359 on steep and cheap.

    Arrows left of aim

    That is how I have shot for 3 decades. Given my narrow set eyes I cannot get my eye directly over the tail end of arrow any other way. If the nock end of the arrow is to the right of your eye, the arrow MUST fly to the left of where you see the arrow tip before release. Simple geometry.

    Arrows left of aim

    I shoot with my bow and head canted nearly 45 degrees so my eye was looking straight down the arrows. Arrows flying left meant I hadn't canted the bow enough to get my eye placed above the tail of the arrow. I have narrow set eyes so I needed more can't than perhaps is typical. I recommend...

    first traditional shots, So confused!

    I shot recurves for 30 years self taught. I started with G Fred Asbells book, but it never clicked ( I have since come across others that agreed with my assessment) I found Ferguson's Become The Arrow a much better style that worked for me. Unfortunately after 30 years as my vision got worse my...

    Need to drop some weight

    x2...Guaranteed to work!!! You are right on PredatorSlayer. Wife and I bumbled into that life style/eating plan earlier this year and love it. I use free version of mynetdiary and it's easy to use. Another added benefit is greatly reduced muscle soreness when you over do it due to reduced lactic...

    Lightweight, down, roomy bag or quilt….

    The Chillkoot looks like a gretty good bag. The 15 F version is rated 8 & 15 for T-rating and comfort which should cover September and early October in Colorado at tree line?? What do you think Bearsears?

    pack weight

    Great ideas. I am usually in Colorado and hunt at 10,000-12,000 ft. Yes the rain poncho is my rain gear. I have more spare rope than I need, i should probably swap our some rope for extra batteries so weight is still close. Thanks!

    Do you come on here for "advice"?

    I absolutely used the advice of other Roksliders to end up with a new EXO pack system. I live many states away from any of the top manufacturers and needed people with hands on experience. Many Roksliders have tried multiple top line packs and can give comparison info and spend a lot more time...

    New hunter...decided not to buy camo patterns.

    Since camo is no more expensive, I often opt for camo. However, I think it is all highly overrated and earth tone colors would be fine. Watched a youtube video of a guy in bright red pants, bright yellow shirt and bright orange head band call in and shoot a bull elk at 40 yards. I really...

    pack weight

    I just weighed everything I need for a 3 day trip. Additional days are another 20 oz per day for food. I came to 33 lbs with the pack. I will be buying a higher loft sleeping bag and that will shave 2 lbs putting me at about 31#. The weight of my bow is not included - it is a 3-1/2# (bare)...

    Ultimate ultralight early season and late season sleep setup?

    This thread really interests me as I am interested in going ultralight to have flexibility to follow wherever the game are. When using the tarp shelters with no floors, is there the typical single wall condensation issue or is there enough air circulation around the edge of the tarp to...
