    What is your on mountain supplement stack?

    Kodiak 12 x 16 tent

    I wish this model had been available when I bought my 12x12. The extra 4' would certainly help with more room for cots and a stove.

    Liquid IV. Yes! Almost forgot about that stuff. Started using it this spring. Really like it and will bring some on my hunts.

    Lightest reliable turreted scope

    I didn't realize the factory turrets were already marked. That's great! Thanks for the pictures. Anybody have significant dialing experience with the the 3-9x40 AccuPoint?

    Pan head recs

    Sirui VA-5 or Outdoorsmans Pan Head. Both work well for me (10x42 Binos and a 65mm spotter). I have been using the Outdoorsmans more often due to size and weight.

    Anyone else that can’t road run?

    Would a Trijion Accupoint 3-9x40 with the Kenton Industries elevation turret be an option? It is listed at 13.4 oz.

    To anyone reading the archery forum

    I can do the basics (sight-in, sight tapes, basic install of components...etc). Thankfully, I have a good pro shop nearby. When it comes to tuning and maintenance, this is one area I choose to let the experts handle.

    A or B...which one, and why

    I would use the "B" poles if I needed something more compact. But my pack will accommodate the longer style without any issues.
