Lots of great suggestions and advice here. I will add one of my personal preferences.
10lb braid line and tie on floro or mono leader depending on what your doing. I would use 8lb leader. You are not fly fishing so tiny line is not needed. I prefer braid most of the time. I keep a few reels...
In my neck of the woods they consider 750 watt and below non motorized and allowed on bike trails. Anything over that and you have to get a tag for it and use it in the same places as 4-wheeler etc. I do not know how that relates to BLM etc but that may be where the confusion came from.
I have used a DAC for years/lots of nights and it has worked out great. It takes me about at much time to get it setup as my BA copper spur, maybe less. I know you looked at it but if you dont find anything else to your liking you may take a 2nd look.
I use one a lot for multiple things. I do like it for Turkey with a water bottle holder on the bottom and the turkey kit. However I use it less for Turkey than my vest because I like a place to put shed layers. It starts out pretty cold in CO. I also like the seat on my vest. I use a Sitka vest...
I have the Kelvin Aerolite and have used the Ambient jacket under it many times. I got the Ambient hoody and now use that much more. The Ambient jacket was just a touch too much warmth and bulk and the hoody works better for me. As for size I wear a large but I buy XL for coats I will be...
Sitka mountain pants are just a little warmer than Traverse and the timberlines are a little warmer than Mountain (with added protection at knees and butt). Dakota is a decent amount warmer than timberline. I wear Dakota ice fishing with no base under them when I would add one with any of the...
I run 4 of them in my fleet. They do everything the 5.3 does with better mileage. Have only had one issue once with any of them (EGR pump). They stay pretty heavy with tools, parts, ladders etc and haul trailers a good bit. The trailers are not terribly heavy most of the time, around 3k or less...
Camo can only help not hurt you not look like a human. I don’t know if the pattern matters all that much. The animals we hunt don’t see the way we do anyway. I use sub alpine for everything as I see no reason to have different patterns. I think for things like turkey it is more useful than a...
That LS sling looks nice. I use an FHF sling and really like it. I attached a 3 round pouch to it as it has Molly and it has a connector for attaching to the pack to keep it from sliding off your shoulder.
I have not had an issue with downloaded maps disappearing in GoHunt. Only time I have seen it is when I moved to a new phone and that makes perfect sense. I am using an iPhone 14Pro and moved to the 15Pro so it is not the same phone. I also keep the app up to date. I could see a major app update...
