    Hybrid Backpacking/Hunting Pack

    Kifaru, Exo and SG (I have all 3) all compress very well for use as day pack. Tony made a valid point, when compressed down, it can make it challenging to operate zippers, access pockets, etc. On my Kifaru and Exo packs, when compressed, anything I might need immediately, will usually fit in...

    Vortex vs kowa

    I'd buy that Kowa in a hot minute. I actually sold my Swarovski ATS 80 HD spotter and purchased a Kowa 554 scope. I have never had any desire to own a Vortex and have never encouraged anyone to buy any of their products. Good thing the Vortex glass comes with a lifetime warranty, because...

    Forloh Method Backpack Test and Review Complete on Page 2

    Agree with Wilderlife. Being in the Denver area, I would think that it would be easy to assemble a selection of packs from Kifaru, Exo, Stone Glacier and Seek Outside in various frame heights and load them all with the same 80 lb load and then show pictures of the same individual wearing each...

    Paper maps vs apps - survey

    I carry my phone which has both onX and BaseMap on it, as well as a GPS. I honestly primarily use the phone for pictures and if I have a signal, updating my wife on daily status. For navigating, I'm a paper map guy, love maps and can spend hours researching them and comparing to Google maps...

    FORLOH - "The One"

    Like others have said, I love the idea of an American company making clothing and products in America and want them to be successful and prosper. I love what I'm seeing in Forloh's clothing line and am very tempted to sell off some of my current gear to fund the purchase of some of their...

    Distance to 'Get Away Cabin' or Property?

    Our property is 3 hours away, no cabin yet, well drilled last year, cabin plans in hand, hoping to start construction this summer and have the exterior done by winter. I love the drive, the 3 hours feels like half that to me. Property is beautiful, not as many trees as I would prefer, but the...

    I hope to never need it, but it is good to hear that Kowa has great CS.
