    Looking for blaze orange material

    HyperD is not a particularly Lloyd fabric but I'd still a hard faced synthetic. So not at all like wool. It does not breath at all so I wouldn't make so much of a garment from it that I'd be too worried about noise

    Looking for blaze orange material

    https://ripstopbytheroll.com/collections/waterproof-polyester-fabric/products/hyperd-300-diamond-grid-polyester?variant=11156472897 HyperD300 is pretty soft handed for a pack but I think the durability is generally pretty good. I'd look for polyester fabrics which take on less water...

    Best boots for rocks?

    Those are a lot burliert than what I usually run. I am not convinced that a supportive boot does anything good for anyone's ankles or knees. But those look relatively attractive for being something you'd call a boot. Probably the biggest thing with trail runners for hunting imo is dealinging...

    Diy cheek riser

    The foam is just some shipping foam I had stored in the garage rafters from a bed we got a couple of years ago. Regular pack strap/craft foam would also work no problem

    DIY Bino Harness

    I really hate the idea of that style of chest rig, I use a fairly heavy shock cord that X's at the back andrests some bino weight on my pack's sternum strap. Couldn't be easier to make and is radically less sweaty

    Boots chewing back of heels

    Check out engo strips, they're basically uhmwpe stickers that go on your shoes where you get hot spots, works pretty well imo if a tad spendy for what it is

    Best boots for rocks?

    I strongly prefer some good trail runners for Talusis/Boulder fields. I think that the flexible sole makes balancing and going from porch to perch much easier than in some stuff MTN boots of which I also have and use occasionally. Currently running lasportiva ultra raptors which excel on big...

    Boots chewing back of heels

    Try using enough lueko tape that it fills the extra volume so two or three layers probably. And find some trail runners you like. I have the world's narrowest heel and have a ton of success with the mnarrow last la sporttiva shoes and boots. Run ultra raptors 99% of the time until it is cold...

    Sling hook for backpack

    I have a long piece of webbing with a g hook on the end that ties into the load lifter tabs on my stone glacier pack and the butt slides into their gun bearer sling bucket deal. I tied a loop from accessory cord to the end swivel stud and just hook the ghook through that, makes it really easy to...

    Sock Liner Recommendations?

    Injinis! I wear them almost all the time hiking bc they eliminate toe on toe blistering but they are also just plain comfy. PITA to put on take off

    Kuiu new $900 coat

    A FF khumbu is 150 less, sewn in Seattle and will be a lot warmer. Isn't even the warmest coat they make. No camo. Or any of the other mtn brands. On the wpb layer, I have a couple of big puffies one with and one without. It is surprisingly nice to just get definitively warm even if it is...

    Zeiss terra ED range

    I have a set of the 10*42s and I like them pretty well. I spent an hour at the birding store a couple of years ago composting them to their other sub $1k binos and didn't see enough difference to make me at all envious for the price difference. (Vortex and opticron iirc) The only other binos...

    Kennetrek heel slip concerns

    World's narrowest heels speaking: Trying to take up more volume with thicker insoles actually makes that problem worse bc you're pushing the heel up out of the pocket. If you don't feel like your heel is held well in the first five seconds just keep looking bc it won't get any better. I have...
