    Hydration bladders

    I sweat like a pig and need a lot of water, so I love my hydration bladder. Doesn’t get that cold where I am, so I’ve only had the tube freeze a couple of times. The benefits far outweigh the drawbacks for me.

    Attaching Stickbow to your pack.

    I know this post is kind of old, but I’d love to see a photo or two of this in action if you have any. Thanks!

    Favorite budget headlight

    +1 for the BD Spot. I think I went through 3 low end Petzls in the same amount of time that I’ve had my Spot.

    Need a hunting partner

    Another Kentuckian here. I can’t do it this year, but I may be interested in teaming up for a trip next fall.

    Sleeping Bag Liner Recommendation

    I think that makes more sense, honestly.

    Facemask/headcover for archery

    +1 for the camo Buff. Works as a bandana, sweat rag, pot holder, light weight beanie when it’s cool, cooling rag when it’s hot, and a face mask when you feel like you need one.

    Sleeping Bag Liner Recommendation

    I do exactly this. Works nice as a sheet. I end up leaving it at home due to weight often, but when I take it, I like the feeling against my skin better than sleeping bag material. I sleep cold so I usually don’t have the guts to leave my bag, but I’ve ended up kicking off my bag and just using...

    How do you carry your stuff in?

    There’s a lot on this forum about this topic, but the two main methods seem to be 1) the load shelf on a western hunting style frame with daypack, or 2) the molle harness mod. #1 is a better way to haul in clothes, water, etc., but #2 is easier and more convenient if you have less stuff. I’ve...

    Cohutta Wilderness, GA

    Haha, thanks for your honesty. I’ve definitely had more than a few trips like that! Glad you caught something though. I did a similar trip in western NC this summer and caught my first brookie on the fly right under a waterfall. Pretty fish, beautiful scenery, all around good trip.

    Cohutta Wilderness, GA

    Just checking back in to see if you made it to Cohutta? How was the fishing? Any intel?

    North Georgia

    Howdy and welcome. I’m in KY and just picked up a recurve this year. I’m hoping to put it to use a bit next year. I’ve done some bear hunting in Blue Ridge WMA and the Chattahoochee National Forest, and I plan on hunting Cohutta this fall.

    Keeping feet dry

    I hear this all the time and it drives me crazy. It’s not that you’re wrong, it’s just that you’re drastically underestimating the amount of sweat we, of the sweaty feet camp, are dealing with! If I go out on, say, a three or four day backpacking trip in 70 degree weather, my liner, sock, and...

    Western hunter going to the tree stand.... help me!

    I’ve got a Summit Open Shot that’s under 12 lbs, and if you put a netted seat on it, you can shave it down some more. It’s a bit too minimal for some people, but I like it well enough. I would recommend it if you value portability as much as or more than comfort. If comfort more, look into the...

    Trekking poles

    I’ve never actually needed them for snow, but I leave mine on all the time to keep my poles from sinking in mud.

    Trekking poles

    I’m curious about this as well. When I got mine, I thought those rubber tips were for old mall walkers or something and threw them away. Since then I have read about folks using them to stay quiet on rocks, but I’ve never used them when trying to get in close to an animal.

    Who here has tried a bunch of backpacking stoves?

    Alcohol stoves are certainly quirky! I’ve found that the stove with a tomato paste can inside a cat food can and lined with a wicking material (I think they call it a Super Cat, probably on the Adventures in Stoving blog mentioned) is far more efficient and slightly less quirky. It’s still very...

    Who here has tried a bunch of backpacking stoves?

    I’ve never owned a Jetboil type system, but I think I’ve had all the other types. I know I’m in the minority, but the thing I like about a liquid fuel stove is never having to worry about how much fuel is in a canister or recycling canisters or having a dozen half empty ones laying around. I can...
