    Similar to backcountry hunting?

    Us “back East” Midwestern guys gotta take what we can get. Even if it’s not 10 miles back anything is better then nothing. I usually just car camp but even then I get off the beaten path and rarely see anyone. I’m hoping to motorcycle camp this summer and I know I can get my sportster in far...

    I'm I the only one who fears a solo hunt...

    I’ve not been able to get way far back here in Michigan. There is a damn 2 track every time you turn around. But I do a lot of solo camping and do bike off the beaten path to camp and hunt. 1 time I woke to a half a dose or more surrounding me. There was a full moon and I was in a grove of...

    chest rig...

    If you use gaffers tape it doesn’t leave a residue behind and it is more fabric. It’s what I use to attach gear like my kbar to my shoulder straps. I buy it at guitar center but I’m sure any music store or amazon has it. It’s used to tape guitar cables and shit down to the stage. It’s a...

    Puffy pants?

    I don’t know how much they weigh. They are not the most compressible I usually just stuffed them in the top of my pack. If I had to guess it would be the size of 2 cantaloupes or a small watermelon? If I think about it this weekend I’ll dig them out and see what I can come up with.

    Ideal All-season Pant

    I got them when they were in the outlet. I too like solid colors but I was intrigued by them. I think I’m goi g to buy the Kutana pants and sell the alpines. If I’m not wearing base layer then my knees sweat. They do dry really fast so I wasn’t worried about the dwr.

    Puffy pants?

    I think a lot of military surplus gets overlooked. Yeah it’s a bit heavier but the shit is bombproof for the money. It’s not the same StuffIt was back in the 80’s&90’s that I used. The base layer grid fleece is polertec the fleece jacket is polertec and it’s made in USA. I can be a cheap ass...

    Ideal All-season Pant

    One pair of pants

    I have attacks and the old alpines. I like the alpines because of the double cargo pockets and the hand pockets zip. They are a bit thinner but I feel the face fabric is more durable then the attacks. I would like to try the kutanna pants because I am not a fan of built in knee pads. I wear...

    They do a lot of good no doubt. Does that outweigh the bad? I don’t know. I wish these organizations were more transparent.

    Patagonia (please read)

    What I take away from this is the bha is fine with me hunting and fishing but they are going to support those who want to take any and all modern sporting rifles and any other so called “scary looking military grade wepons”. Basically all you need is a shotgun and a single shot rifle...
