    Exo 5500 questions

    I love my 3500, my hunting partner got the 5500, and when compressed, i can tell almost no difference between our two bags..with that said, makes me wish i would have gotten the 5500 from the get go, oh well live and learn. beyond that, i've had the 'pleasure' of packing an elk out with one and...

    i saw this at my local hardware store yesterday and couldn't believe it. if you need something insulated, just use a dang cooler, not a bucket. but hey, if you make it, and people buy it.. more power to em

    Backpacking vs backpack hunting

    I do a lot of backpacking along with back pack hunting. When i got my exo pack, I was SO close to selling my osprey backpacking backpack to lighten up the gear closet. Then it hit me...I do a lot of international backpack trips (patagonia, peru, etc), always going the carry on route, and did NOT...

    Gerber Vital review.

    I like mine just as much if not more as the havalons ive used (it was free so that might also be why) the button to remove the blades is easy peasy too, coupled with a little fixed blade its a good combo.

    Backpack Hunts-what you wished you brought/ what you should have left

    one of the simplest things that has made days so much better is a sit pad. you can use it while glassing, or just sitting under a tree. beats the hell out of sitting on wet or damp or rocky ground for hours on end. something to be left behind...extra clothes. i always pack too much clothes.. if...

    Kill kit assessment

    not a significant savings but ditching the 550 cord for something lighter is an option, or you could have more cord for the same weight.

    Pissed! Supraspinatus and Infraspinatus are out

    dang that's rough man.. sorry to hear. i had shoulder surgery when i was in highschool before i bow hunted, and the one piece of advice i can give you is to stay very diligent with whatever PT they give you, and don't rush back into anything. re injuring before fully healed is bad news.

    Even more expensive coolers! Otterbox is in the game!

    my 15 year old igloo cooler holds ice juuuuuuuuuuust fine. the ONLY reason I could ever see myself buying a rotomolded cooler (knock off yeti most likely) would be to use on a fishing boat so that it could double as a bench seat and the lid wouldn't warp as easily.

    Washington and Oregon Draw Results Posted

    So jealous! Good luck with the tag!! I just put in for points this year, just bought a house, a puppy, and spending a week in Alaska fishing so I knew I wouldn't have the time I usually have to dedicate to scouting. Chasing cows with the bow it is!

    Another dad gum rifle caliber question.

    30-06 here. some of factory ammunition has some pretty impressive ballistics now. t3 superlite 06, vx3 3.5-10...affordable, accurate, and versatile set up. i'm happy with it. like the above poster said..only reason not to get a 06 is to be different.
