    What did you do today to get ready for Elk season?

    Pack centered HIIT workout. Didn’t drink alcohol. Doing 6 weeks dry before elk season. And then having a beer as a celebration for a downed bull.

    A or B...which one, and why

    A because I use it for my shelter and wouldn’t trust B for the support in the wind.

    First Lite Camp Moc

    A. I won’t buy these. B. Have you tried not worrying about what other people spend their money on?

    Glassing in timber

    I would not bring a spotter for archery elk in Colorado. At least not in the unit I will be at which is also very timber heavy. I would be prepared for a lot more slow moving and picking apart timber with your binos than sitting on a rock seeing vast open country.

    What arrows are you shooting...not weight but brand

    I have the Bloodsport Judgment .001 for TAC and they are an awesome set up. I paid $60/dz for them and couldn’t be happier with them. I just wish they didn’t have the ugly white strip for blood, but whatever. It’s their gimmick lol.

    Black Eagle Rampage. Been very impressed with them for several seasons now.

    Good but inexpensive socks

    For me it’s more that the Costco sock is just a plain ol’ sock that happens to be merino. And it’s a pretty heavy weight wool. I definitely couldn’t wear it early season. The cabela’s/darn tough/ any hiking or hunting specific sock has extra cushion on the toes and heel and is thinner elsewhere...

    Good but inexpensive socks

    Eh. They’re not at all the same sock though. I have several packs of the Costco merino socks and I wear them every day all winter long. However, I would never wear them on a backcountry hunt. They’re just not a technical sock. I’d rather spend the $16 and know my feet are going to be dry and...

    Good but inexpensive socks

    The Cabelas Instinct Merino are $16 and I’ve gotten multiple seasons out of them and they still look new. Great sock.

    How to close shoulder gap.

    I agree with what others are saying…your load lifters need to be loosened some and then tighten the bottom webbing of the strap. Like where the only adjustment would be on the strap of a regular backpack. Also curious how much weight you have in the pack for that pic. It’s supposed to be fitted...

    Cylinder stove embers putting holes in my Alaknak

    Understandable, but he’s probably not going to sew a new stove jack into an Alaknak.

    Cylinder stove embers putting holes in my Alaknak

    The T pipe top looks like the winning solution

    Tent recommendation

    I do, but not the insert. If I wanted to run something solo with the insert the Owyhee is 12oz lighter total. But mostly because buying new stuff is fun lol.

    Tent recommendation

    I'm actually debating the Owyhee 1p as well. I don't have the need for the Absaroka 4p yet.

    Tent recommendation

    I can’t believe this thread went this long before someone said the Rincon. 22oz including stakes for a true 2p tent. PALACE for 1. Especially since the OP is already used to a tipi.

    Alaska trip Advice - sleeping bag

    Alaska range for your first ever backpack hunt? Talk about diving in head first lol. My only advice would be to spend as many nights as possible before then using your sleep system to learn what you do and don’t like. Better to have it dialed in before you leave than to get there and realize you...
