    Sheep Packing List

    The 77 is great but just a shade heavier the 80HD. The 66 is definitely a great scope, probably the ultimate mix of price, glass, and weight on the market, very under rated

    Sheep Packing List

    I think that is a prudent move in a very remote new area. I should have added more context on this hunt I'll be part of. It's in the Chugach in an area I've hunted in two other times. It's relatively close to civilisation, less than a day's walk out to the truck. We also have the luxury of a...

    Sheep Packing List

    Yeah I've had good luck with the floorless shelters up high when there are no bugs, and the tipi/pyramid shapes have less wind loading than most

    Cheers, I usually bring some liquid I.V. but I've heard a few recommendations on the LMNT packs. I've get a few and give them a try

    Sheep Packing List

    Thanks for the input. There's a first aid kit in the other category. Yeah, I might drop a pair of undies. I usually take two but don't seem to ever wear the second pair. Yup, no gaiters. When hunting in the US I normally wear pants and when wearing pants I think gaiters are a little overkill...

    I'll run it by her though mate, and see what she reckons. We talked about getting a Helliberg post-Adak last year, so this could be the catalyst

    Sheep Packing List

    Haha, past girlfriends, I would agree. We were in Adak last year with 60+ winds and sleet for most days, but no dramas, she was smiling the whole time.

    I thought that, but the front range is pretty good, and I prefer the floorless setups

    Sheep Packing List

    Thanks mate! I run pretty hotly so should be right, same time and area last year I barely touched the puffy, the Mrs on the other hand will need a far bit extra. The front range is new to me but I had a seek outside LBO for a number of years, and it survived all conditions I used it in. This...

    Sheep Packing List

    I have 14 days on there, but I don't think it'll need that much based on past years. I've hunted the area in the past with a tarp tent and there're good sheltered tent spots to pitch it. I think your Silex would be fine, I use single-pole tents almost exclusively these days.

    Sheep Packing List

    I always learn a lot by looking at other people's packing lists for hunts so I thought I'd share mine. https://lighterpack.com/r/hva094 A bit of background on the hunt this year. There will be two of us hence the larger tent and pot. It's a Chugach, AK draw hunt, actually my girlfriend drew...

    Kuiu durability

    I had a similar issue with the Kenai line, but a little bit of pilling is fine. Everything else is stellar. I love the Yukon rain gear and highly recommend them. Their thermals a fantastic also. I've used Firstlite and Swazi, but Kuiu was better. It hurt turning my back on Swazi because I'm a...
