    Gaiters

    Kuiu Yukons have been great for 3 years. They are not loud, in my opinion.

    What do you use for protein and supplements?

    I like the MTN OPS stuff (at 30% off)... and whatever protein powder is on sale. Yea... I'm cheap. I have tried a bunch of different stuff. I feel like any reputable company that has a decent creatine, protein, pre-workout, and recovery product will probably help.... in addition to a good diet...

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

    Black Eagle X-Impact with the focus system. They have been really good. The system allows you to adjust total weight and align broadheads. I used VAP prior and prefer these after using them for the past 2 years.

    Horseback daypack

    We did an hour and a half ride in and out on a drop camp a couple years ago (8 miles total). I used a Mystery Ranch Terraframe 80 (about 4800 cu in). It had 12 - 15 lbs of gear and was cinched down pretty tight to reduce the overall volume. The pack was not an issue for me or the horse. I have...

    Tikka 300 WSM magazine options for extra COAL

    I love my 20" 300 WSM. I'm shooting the 175 LRX over H4350 at 3005 fps. Here is a pic of the 175 LRX loaded to 3.085 in the HCA Mag. I used a few boxes of Norma 180 Bondstrikes to break in the barrel and fire form brass. Those averaged 2905. Velocity is listed at 3084 on the box.

    Best overall freeze dried food brands? Ty

    Peak for me. Tried several and have a few favorites that I really like. Have also used Mountain House and Alpine Fare. The Peak meals are better, in my opinion, and use less water.

    Liner or no Liner

    I wear liners with Darntough merino hikers. I carry leukotape just in case, but I have not used any since I started wearing liners. In the past I would tape up my feet before putting on socks. That worked for a while. The tape stayed pretty good, but would need to be reapplied every other day...

    Suppressor covers - who's and why

    I probably don't need it. It's just a hunting rifle. No competitions or long strings at the range for me. The reports of them melting and not fitting or slipping make it seem like more of a hassle than it's worth (for 99% of what I do). I can see the value for other folks. Especially dealing...

    Suppressor covers - who's and why

    Yes, unfortunately. AB Raptor 6 stack/5" reflex heats up quickly on my 300 WSM. I was considering a cover for the can, but this thread has me second guessing that purchase.

    How do you guys carry your spotter in your pack? In a case or in a pocket or the pack unprotected?

    If hiking for a long time without plans to use the spotter, it's in the pack in a neoprene case. If hiking from one glassing point to another, it's under the pack lid for quicker access.
