Arcteryx does have their LEAF division, which has camo. They have great equipment, but most of the outerwear and rain gear is LOUD!
The Naga hoody is an outstanding piece. I'd pass on their packs and footwear for hunting.
I prefer my bench at 42", and I'm 6'. You could use one of those Inline riser plates to get to whatever height you're comfortable with. I'd personally recommend clamping tools to the bench for now and figure out what works for your process that you develop.
I also keep my A&D on a separate...
I had my Poco on my Seek frame and my Kifaru frame. There's a ton of different methods to strap them together. A few times I also had the 3 year old standing on the Poco kick stand + holding on/ a safety strap around him. That's about as close as I've managed to simulating a sheep + camp...
Welcome to Rokslide. I was out bear hunting yesterday and was missing a sling, haven't used one in a few years. Was just starting to look for one and yours is already in the lead.
No screen. As said above, if you have it high enough off the ground for decent ventilation in warm climates, you'll have mosquitoes coming under anyways. I use an ultralight bug bivy when I'm solo and a full nest with the kids.
270win with a well placed shot will be plenty. If it's your first bear hunt, spend a little time researching where to shoot them (its further back then most deer hunters naturally aim). I personally shoot copper bullets, but anything that is stout enough to exit should be good enough. Bear's...
If you can find a Patagonia Levitation hoody, I'd definitely suggest you add that to the list. It is by far the best Mid-layer I've ever owned. I cant find anything that beats it. But I haven't really looked in a few years, so it'll be curious to see how these new models rate.
I like the sound...
I've seen a couple Sprinter vans locally that have had Line-X Ultra sprayed onto them. It is a formulation that is specific for coating vehicles. It is a very impressive finish, significantly lighter then dedicated Bedliner material. If I don't receive my new van soon (ordered it 16 months ago)...
I used the original davros head and the light duty optics adapter. This was before the Pro head and HD optics adapter were available.
I didn't love the system, it was ok, but only ok. As I was trying the system out without trying to invest a ton, I only used the surface adapters for the...
I like them when higher up in the mountains, in the alpine, when more exposed to the sun. When hunting in the forest I find them to be more hassle then they are worth. I also have the Scope Bandit for my spotting scope and have the same opinion of it. I definitely wouldn't use them if I wasn't...
I'm a big fan of the throw levers on my NF optics, wasn't a huge fan of some of the others I tried, but they were 1/2 the height of the NF lever and didn't provide enough leverage. I currently only have lower powered scopes and use them at either 2x or 10x zoom, so always making large...
I could see the ergonomics of the NL series not working for some people. I tried them several times at shops and disliked the ergonomics and didn't feel the glass was enough of a jump from my EL'S to justify the expenditure. Last summer a friend showed up with a pair of 10x42NL's and we played...
I've been happy with the Elite Hunter in several different calibers, including the 6.5mm in a 260rem. Shot several smaller black bear and blacktails with them. Biggest thing with the Bergers is to respect their limitations, shoot for soft tissue and dont expect them to break bone.
It is awesome to use the spotter to look at the moon. My brother and I were checking it out in Northern BC where there's zero light pollution, it was incredible. He has now become a major astronomy nerd and has a telescope, he also used it to justify buying the Swaro 115. Guy always knows where...
I hunt with Hammer's for their consistent and exceptional terminal performance on game. Their consistent supply is a nice bonus in this current market.
I started with Hammer bullets that were in the more traditional weight class for each cartridge I was shooting, I've now dropped to lower...
Any idea when the Custom Pack option will return or when the large side pockets will be put on the website? Was hoping to get an order in for spring bear.
