    Puffy vest

    I bought and returned the kelvin vest this November. Don’t believe it was any warmer than a cheap fleece vest but was more packable. For the money didn’t suit my needs. Just ordered the Kiui down vest on sale but it looks like it might be a bit light on insulation compared to the FL brooks vest

    Looking for a tent for the family

    8 person cabelas instinct outfitter. Has a stove jack. We use a 6 person 10x 10 and it is great for 2 costs and a stove. Holds heat better than single wall tents. I’m in MN as well and camp for deer hunting. Nu-way propane stove should work well, but sure a buddy would be ok. Also is a square...

    Nu-Way Propane Heaters

    Similar size (although your courthouse has a taller peak) and the liner should help some. Assuming you use the nesting pipe, you will probably need a section or 2 of straight 3 inch pipe to get the pipe to clear the tall stove jack. Put a damper as high as you can to capture radiant heat from...

    Nu-Way Propane Heaters

    They are made for ice fishing shanty’s so I’d think it would work fine for that. You have a ton of heat adjustment with the 2 burners so I wouldn’t worry about too warm.

    Nu-Way Propane Heaters

    I’ve posted on this before in this thread. We just used them in northern WI this weekend, lows around 10 and 4 F. In a smaller double walled tent (Arctic Oven Igloo and Cabelas 10x10 Instinct), it does fine. The value for us is having comfortable sleeping temps all night for truck camping. For...

    What FL to buy

    I would have bought the source jacket if it were in stock . Looked hard at the sawtooth vest but think I am going to pick up a Sitka aero lite vest instead. For whitetail I usually am hiking in a little under a mile in baselayers (and a vest of it is really cold). I strap my big blaze...

    What FL to buy

    Thanks for pointing out the OnX sale. I ended up going with their Klamath quarter zip for layering (don’t need a hood on everything), a pair of merino gloves and the uncompahgre jacket. The latter I figured that latter might come in handy to stuff in my vest on cold run and gun turkey days...

    What FL to buy

    Tons of ruffed grouse/ pheasant in MN Sep-Dec. Rifle Whitetail in MN and WI (the whole of November). Spring turkey in MN and WI. Have hunted 16 degrees to over 80. Could use a new set of rain gear but would rather buy something that works well rather than a what I have a deal on. Could use...

    What FL to buy

    Received a $240 gift card from First Lite instead of a cash refund. Good on base layers. What else is worth the $ out of their stuff.

    Springfield M1A Standard...should I buy?

    Buy it. I’m sure it will have good resale with the ultralight 600 yard critter shooting crowd in the classifieds ;)

    Nu-Way Propane Heaters

    From what I gathered from researching on this site, they struggle compared to wood stoves due to lack of BTUs. This makes a bigger difference in larger and/or single walled tents. We use them in an Arctic Oven and a 10x10 Cabelas instinct, and they are great for the application because they...

    Nu-Way Propane Heaters

    Believe you can get a nesting set from kni-co. You need a 3 inch section that is female on both sides. Alaska Tent and Tarp calls it a stove sleeve.

    Artic oven 12 vs arktika extreme

    I’m not sure they have been making the Arctica for a while, which may solve your dilemma. I see they are on the website however. I run an AO igloo, so not an experienced opinion, but I think either should do fine when properly guyed out. A square area is more efficient for sleeping...

    Tikka T3X Superlite: Questions on 300 Win Mag vs. 30-06

    Owned a T3 hunter in 30-06, so heavier than the super light. It kicked, but would have been manageable with a decent recoil pad. We If it were me, I’d lean towards a 270 in these rifles, or 25-06 if they had the audacity to chamber a quarter bore. These would be lighter kicking… you can...

    Copper bullets and whitetail

    Studies show a fairly dramatic dispersion of fragments well away from primary wound channels. As such, I switched to copper before starting a family. Lead is bad for kids, well established science.
