    The "not so little" little things

    Another vote for picaridin -- I bought it on a lark at REI and man, it's so much better than deet in regards to having it on your skin and it coming in contact with your stuff. I haven't tested it in some place truly nasty like AK but it's done well for me in mosquito-thick WA and WY high...

    How heavy is your pack?

    Without food, water or rifle I'm at ~34lbs which is as light as I've been able to get my pack and not really want for anything or do anything drastic. I only do one optic at 34lbs. Everything gets a LOT easier when you're with a partner so you can split the shelter and cooking/fuel and spotter...

    Which Sheep Caliber

    Jack O'Connor would clutch his heart at a poll like this that didn't include .270. Any of these are fine, bring what shoots best, pack spray for bears, but most importantly be smart and aware.

    Rifle weight. Is it worth it?

    Currently in the middle of the decision as well -- I have a Sako .270 with a run of the mill scope that I shoot lights-out. I have a new Kimber .300WM Montana with a lighter scope that I'm just learning to shoot. It's 9.8lbs vs 6.5 -- I'm fortunate in that three pounds is not a big deal given...

    Stone Glacier SkyLine Bino Harness Review

    I wore it for two days of rabbit hunting/running around in the mountains in December hunting this year and had this issue. I like to wear my binos pretty high and tight (Trail Kreitzer mentions how high and tight he likes his in his SG bino holster review and I share the sentiment) and felt like...

    If you could only take one decoy...

    Can attest to the DSD Jake. In addition to what's been said by @fatlander that thing is a work of art. I think half the reason I use it is because I like looking at it.

    Knees

    Knee pain can also often be caused by ultra-tight hamstrings, IT and glutes. I've done serious IT/hamstring/hip stretches and foam rolling for a couple years now (36, relatively fit, 185lb) and it's been an increible benefit in the mountains. I know it's not fun and everyone talks about...

    KUIU Super Down vs. Western Mountaineering Badger, 15-degree bags

    Mostly just colors -- I don't really own camo except for a few First Lite things for Turkey hunting and it's basically sold out everywhere in my size in the green.

    Is ammo availability gonna affect your hunting season?

    While I'm not worried about ammo shortages for the reasons mentioned above, I have worked up a nice dry-fire routine that if you have the space and an old iPad, might be of use to some folks on the forums. I have a 15 yard corridor on my first floor from my office down through the family room...

    KUIU Super Down vs. Western Mountaineering Badger, 15-degree bags

    I'm getting a little off-topic here, apologies, but that hoodie sounds awesome. Does anyone else make anything like it?

    What do you with your pack on a stalk?

    I've shot half a dozen antelope over the last fifteen years and never took my pack off on a stalk, IDK. I wear a Stone Glacier and it's never that heavy or awkward on an antelope type of hunt. You'd be surprised with what you can get away with on an antelope stalk (although I'm a rifle hunter).

    Binos for a Dall Sheep Hunt

    @Sandbrew -- Mentioned above but will be with a guide who has a spotter. Not rolling in there naked!

    Binos for a Dall Sheep Hunt

    Asked and answered! Thanks fellas. Between shooting, working out, and just daydreaming about the hunt, you gotta fill the time looking at every piece of gear for hours on end, I guess. I love my binos, glad to hear I'm not missing out on anything by not bringing a pair of telescopes taped...

    Binos for a Dall Sheep Hunt

    I've had a pair of 10x42 Zeiss Conquest HD's that I've happily used in myriad hunting situations, mostly western big game, and while I'm sure they'd be fine, I'm considering a pair of 12x or even 15x. I use a tripod with the Outdoorsman system in 95% of my glassing. Other details: Brooks Range...
