    pack weight

    What temperature are you packing for? That just seems extraordinarily heavy. I can do 5 days of bowhunting well under 50#, but that is early season. I jst got my new K3 EXO pack and am going to packup 3 days worth and see how it fits and what it weighs....

    If you were starting from scratch, which daypack setup would you buy?

    I have been researaching this same question for months. I finally ordered a K3 EXO with 3200 CI bag and it should arrive today. It seemed to check most of the boxes and feedback on Rokslide was enough to push me to select EXO. No doubt other good packs out there. My buddy just ordered an...

    First real pack

    Measurable & noticeable....THAT is a great question Novice! GIven the past success rates of me and my hunting buddies, I should not even worry about meat hauling capability!!!! My K3 EXO 3200 should arrive today. My first top quality pack.

    Heated Sleeping Bag Liner

    If you are on a cot the bottom side will REALLY suck your heat out - worse so than on the ground. If car camping I use a use a 3" thick foam pad and even on a cot I stay warm.

    Sleeping pad insulation longevity

    My big Agnes air pad insulation broke down over 10 yrs. They replaced it for free though.

    Big agnes sleep system was cold

    I used to believe the air alone in the pad was sufficient to insulate, but it MUST be an insulated air pad. I learned this the hard way!

    Extended car warranty

    Dave Ramsey says the pay off averages 12 cents on the dollar.....I would not recommend it, neither does Dave. If you are SO stretcehd for money that a breakdown would cause severe hardship, buy a cheaper vehicle and keep the remainder in reserve in case it breaks down would be my advice.

    Exo mountain pack

    I asked EXO and they has some blemished bags at reduced cost. Coupled with my OnX Elite I got about $135 off my purchase of a new K3 with 3200 CI bag in "blemished" Fusion camo. Just ordered it last week!!!

    Old man workoutd

    I hit 60 last December. Have slowly transitioned to lower impact stuff and generally lower weight with higher reps. But, yes, you gotta keep moving. I think a couple hours of cardio per week starting in the spring is kind of my baseline for hunting out west in the fall - which I intend to...

    Stabilizers for Hunting only Bow

    I agree 100% with your analysis. Just bought a used Bowtech Carbon Icon to save a pound. The last thinig I will do is add the weight back in a stabilizer. That said, I see people hunting steep western terrain with stabilizers - sometimes large ones, and that seems to suit them fine. To each...

    First real pack

    I for one am DONE over-analyzing! Ordered a new EXO K3 with 3200 CI pack and Lid in Fusion camo. The 10% off for ONX Elite membership takes some of the sting out!! I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas. I appreciate the honest konwledgable feedback from fellow Roksliders - in fact that is...

    First real pack

    Right but the bag, albeit MUCH lighter than a sack of meat, is positioned on behind the meat carrying area contributing to the pack pulling backwards.

    First real pack

    Kifaru straightjacket, badlands MRK 3 and eberlestock F1 frame with batwings.

    First real pack

    The bags with two "pontoons" that will swing to the side exposing the meat shelf looks interesting as you can load it with camp gear or meat and your bag weight isn't hanging off the back and pulling you backwards. Kifaru , Eberlestock and Badlands all have a pack in this design. As if you need...

    Rokslide 2022 Weight Loss Thread

    My wife and I both gave up gluten and dairy two years ago. Bloated stomach and acid reflux is a thing of the past. We both recently went very low carb with lots of protein and fats (in the keto realm -tons of info on Youtube). With the high fat & protein diet we easily went to just eating two...

    Quiet pants!!

    I ordered a pair of Knarr pants from ASAT and they were very noisy so I sent them back, KUIU Attack pants are fairly quiet but not noiseless. I finally ordered a pair of cowboy suede pants from Day One and they are nearly as silent as fleece (we have a winner!). They come unhemmed so length...

    Az hunters

    I put in for a NR tag this year. Don't think I drew a tag. AZGFD website keeps taking me in a do-loop and never really got to view my results....after entering multifactor authorization codes 87 times I said s**** it.

    High end hunting pack 2200 to 3600

    Yeah, that was a great video. I will watch it again. Was there supposed to be a second video in the series? I agree the SG just doesn't have many/any exterior pockets. The EXO adjustable frame length is pretty neat, keep it shorter when day packing, but lengthen it to get more load lifter...

    High end hunting pack 2200 to 3600

    I am looking for a good pack too for 3-4 day trips for archery elk/deer. I have a real pet peeve against noise and all those top end packs use noisy cordura bags. Do I simply need to get over it??? I have hunted out west 20+ years and in timber you are regularly having branches drag across your...

    I just dry fired my bow

    How bad was it??? I have always feared doing that and wondered what would happen.
