    Hard shell advice wanted.

    I’ve had good luck with military surplus shells. Under $100 durable a bit noisy and heavy but I’m not packing into the backcountry very far.

    Hatchet vs Saw

    If car camping or att/boat I find my cordless sawzall works pretty good. We have cut 8-10” trees out of the trail so we could get through with it.

    Kuiu Axis Upgrades

    The waterproof panel in the lower back will be good when you kneel down in the snow or when it’s wet and the heel of your boots have snow on them and touch your rear area.

    Sell the Wall Tent

    We use a wall tent and it’s getting leaky. It’s only got a few years left. I’m going go try and convince my buddies we need to downsize. Like the op we always take a shit load of gear because we need a trailer for the tent anyway. It’s 4 of us in a 16x32 army tent. It is awesome when it’s...

    Hunting Clothing

    I don’t need any of this specialized technical gear no one really does. But I like it and can afford it so I’ll buy it and be more comfortable. I’ve spent money on dumber shit in my youth. If I had half the money I wasted at the bars or on dope I would have way more cool shit to piss people...

    Truck bed sleeping situations?

    I put little rv levels on my dashboard and door when I camped in my van. That way I could get pretty level without getting out of the drivers seat. Takes a lot of the guesswork out of finding a flat spot.

    New Gear for 2020?

    A pair of either flip up mittens that are just an insulated shell I could wear liner gloves under. Waterproof too right. All the flip up mittens I see have that half glove to them and it leaves the fingers exposed. Maybe I’m searching for a unicorn

    Non gore tex / waterproof boots...again * UPDATE *

    Newspaper does help wick the moisture out. I bought a pair of Columbia pack style boots and my feet sweated so bad it soaked the inside insulation. I stuffed them with newspaper and put them near the wood stove. I changed the paper out a few times before they were dry. I didn’t put them very...

    Opinions on wood stoves in canvas tents

    We use this bad boy in a 16x32 gp medium and it will cook you out in no time. It was free we found it on garbage day. Look on craigslist or Facebook or ask around We have come accross some decent wood stoves for cheap that people had sitting in the barn not using. Why does it have to be a...

    Wall tent,

    My brother is a carpenter and built our door. We use a big trailer to haul everything. It’s really easy to install. I’ll see if I have any pictures. You can’t really see how it’s constructed. It’s in storage now and I don’t have access to it. But from what I remember it’s some 2x4 and...

    iPhone 11 case recommendation

    I bought an otter box and so far I like it. I have always ran lifeproof cases on my other phones but I needed one ASAP. Maybe I’ll still order a lifeproof but the iPhone 11 is waterproof more then my old i6 was

    Plythal Pre Rut Jacket 2.0 Review

    The mountain jacket would be a lot better with pit zips and a hood. For early season it works great. I also got it to wear under my summer motorcycle jacket as a windproof layer. And I must say it works great for that. I have road through a few rain storms and that jacket me dry I was really...

    Plythal Pre Rut Jacket 2.0 Review

    I wondered about that jacket. I bought a mountain jacket for like $100 and it does a pretty good job but I can’t layer a lot under it maybe a base or 2 and like a hoodie. I put my keeni jacket over that and then a soft shell or a fleece and it works pretty good and quiet. I have been eyeing...

    How/where to keep your pistol while sleeping?

    I’m more worried about people and maybe coyotes. My Glock sits In a fabric iwb holster in my bag on my strong side. I can slip it out of the holster 1 handed as quietly or quickly as needed. So far in many years of camping I only thought I was going to need it once but a shout scared the pack...
