    OnX and CarPlay

    I prefer using Gaia with CarPlay, especially if you have Google Earth loaded. It is just cleaner.

    Kuiu pro versus lt?

    You’re not going to kiss anything going with the LT from a durability perspective. If the layout differences aren’t significant to you, save the pound for sure.

    Extremely sharp

    I believe my gloves are the same rating, and I always use them while quartering. They will save your ass with a havalon. I’ve had a slip and the glove completely stopped it. I later tried a harder swipe when the glove was off, and it works.

    WTS/WTT Nomad Camper Shell Tent

    Kind of forgot about this. Bumping and price drop

    KUIU Pack Thoughts?

    I have a KUIU Pro LT, Exo K4, and have had a Kifaru Duolex Lite, Mystery Ranch Pop Up, Metcalf, and Exo K2 with K3 belt and have tried a Stone Glacier. There is a reason why the K4 and Kuiu are still in my gear room. They were the two best for me. I think the K4 gets the slightest edge over...

    Marsupial No-Mag updating design.

    Only reason I didn’t buy one and went with KUIU instead. I really like everything else about their design though so I will try one if they fixed that.

    OnX vs GoHunt?

    I’ve used OnX, Gaia, Base Map, and GoHunt. I heavily prefer GAIA in the field. I do use OnX because of the crop layers and GoHunt has the terrain stuff, but OnX has that now too. I’ve just found the flexibility in layering for a Gaia to make it look and feel much better. Every time my friends...

    Trekking Poles when you need your hands

    I have a neoprene water bottle holder on my waste with the bottom cut out enough that I can slip them in there but they want fall through. Also use this after collapsing them when I’m the caller and we have an elk coming in so my hands are free to rake or whatever.

    Non-canvas family tent

    The 8 packs down to a carry-on sized duffle bag too.

    Non-canvas family tent

    Cabelas Alaskan Guide 6 or 8. Would recommend 8 for 4 people. They go on sale most Black Fridays if you’re not in a rush.

    Sitka Core Lightweight Hoodie vs.......

    I’ve had the same two shirts that have survive two weeks of Colorado elk hunting—including some brush busting, multiple backpacking trips, and I’m not even sure how many training hikes that were half off trail.

    Sitka Core Lightweight Hoodie vs.......

    Assuming the hoodie is the same material as the zip T, it seems to be a tad heavier duty/thicker than Core Lightweight material. That doesn’t guarantee durability but my guess is it will hold up better. I don’t think it’s polygiene treatment is as effective as Sitka’s though. It is still good...

    Puffy jacket and pants

    I don’t wear the insulated pants nearly as much as the jacket so with that budget I’d personally spend $15 on eBay buying M65 pant liners (long versions) Use remaining funds on any non hunting brand down jacket with at least 750 fill power and ideally treated down.

    Sitka Core Lightweight Hoodie vs.......

    The real question for me is what manages odor as long? I have only found one non-merino shirt that can go several days without smelling and that is the Patagonia Capilene. However, they started using something other than Polygiene so don’t know if current stuff is as good. The original...

    For those that got in on the Cameraland NY Athlon Ares Spotter deal..

    I don’t think they have a discount code, but if you call them and say you’re from Rokslide, they usually hook you up.

    Puffy Pant vs Ski (Insulated) Pant

    Likely heavier and less packable if you’re carrying camp on your back.

    Wichita/Newton, KS Help Needed

    Open to ideas. I’d say based on latest info it is more likely he doesn’t go than he does.

    Go in deep!

    1/4 mile for 1000’ is like a 75% grade. Not far off from climbing stairs without the benefit of sure footing and handrails. That’s pretty daunting considering you’d probably have to do it 4-5 times.

    Wichita/Newton, KS Help Needed

    Thanks. That’s a good idea if nothing else pans out.

    Wichita/Newton, KS Help Needed

    This may not happen, but a member of our group may back out for health reasons, leaving us with 3 people in two trucks. We are heading out from two different areas in Missouri with Wichita/Newton being the first place our routes cross. It would add 3-4 hours each way to meet up at one of our...
