    New guy here from Texas, getting ready to hunt Alaska and need your advice

    Welcome! I agree with the other posters: Its easy to compress a bag down if you have too much. It is harder to add space and maintain balance/fit. I would go with the Dall. Sent from my Pixel 4a (5G) using Tapatalk

    New bag for very large user? who has experience with big guts and heavy loads?

    Thats a commendable journey and 100 pounds is some serious work. I agree with the other posters to give the companies a call to see what they think. I love my Seek Outside pack and your budget could get you something custom from Seek if you wanted to go down that route. Sent from my Pixel 4a...

    Scalable sleep system

    As others have pointed out: do you know how you handle temperatures while out? I think that's going to be key for building out your layering system. I do have the REI Magma 30 Long bag and the NeoAir XLite pad as my sleep set up. I'm someone living in Phoenix, AZ and my blood has thinned out...

    Titanium Mug Evernew Vs Toaks Vs Snow Peak

    Another vote for the Toaks 750ml. I dont think you can go wrong with any of the brands though. They're all metal mugs. I was carrying a 450 and 750, but dropped the 450 from my kit when I realized I can do everything I need with the 750. The additional benefit is I can fit my stove (soto...

    Groomsmen gift ideas

    My groomsmen were all over the place in terms of hobbies/interests. I got them each a Leatherman Wingman, and a pair of dress socks. The dress socks each had a design on them that matched the groomsman's interest. I.E. one was getting his PhD in Chemistry, so his had a bunch of chemistry related...

    How long have you been at your current job?

    Currently finishing up my second week in my new job. Finally getting out of the training material and shadowing client calls. Previous company was 6.5 years including my internship. I was one of the last original people at that job. Leaving was a little rough, but only from a personal...

    Camera illiterate

    I've always found the Northrups information to be easy to digest and follow. I picked up their book and thought it taught me a good bit about the basics. I also follow their YouTube channel as they have interesting content. Book YouTube Channel

    Rokslide 2022 Weight Loss Thread

    I'm jumping in on this. I need to keep my weight loss sustainable and put focus into maintaining once I drop weight. I lost 35 pounds in the first half of 2021 and put about 20 pounds back on by the end of the year. Current stats: 30, 6'0", 226 as of this morning. Goal Weight: 195 - I...

    Pack for a large frame

    I agree with couesbitten, the best packs aren't sold at any of the big box retailers. I'll throw out a suggestion of Seek Outside packs. They're system is very flexible in fitting people.

    2021 Gear Performance

    Made it out for a week in Colorado for OTC Elk. Over the course of that week: Switched from Sawyer Mini to Katadyn BeFree 3L Gravity system. This mimic'd my Sawyer/CNOC bladder combo, but with a significantly faster flow rate and less effort. I'll stick with the Katadyn even though they aren't...

    Contact wearers' what's your secrets

    I start with a fresh pair and take them out every night. Some water and a wet wipe to clean my hands, then I take them out or put them in. I carry a small travel size bottle, a spare pair, and glasses with me. There's no way I would head out without at least glasses. I'm blind without them. I...

    Prime Bows

    A friend picked up a Nexus 4 before this season and loves it. Smooth drawing, backwall is solid, and letoff feels unreal. I'm still shooting a 2014 Quest Rogue, but will probably pick up a Prime when I'm ready to upgrade. Their customer service is top notch. I lost my draw stop while shooting...

    Vacation brain

    Leave for Colorado in under a week for our first DIY elk hunt. I have a feeling I won't be very productive this week, even though there's a lot I need to do to prepare to go off grid for the week. Good luck on the moose hunt! We look forward to the success pictures here!

    Non coffee drinkers

    +1 on not changing your routine. Anything that messes with your intestines doesn't sound fun to deal with out in the woods. That being said, if you really are looking for something, The Nuun + Caffeine tablets are solid. If you're set on coffee, Walmart has something called "Keto Coffee" it's...

    Sightron Riflescopes

    I have an SIII 6-24x50 on my 22-250 groundhog gun. Glass is clear, turrets are repeatable and it feels like quality. I'd recommend them for anyone looking for good glass without breaking the bank. Sent from my Pixel 4a (5G) using Tapatalk

    What did you do today to get ready for archery season?

    66ish arrows sent today ranging from 20 yards to 90 yards. Confirmed my broadheads out to 60 yards and am comfortable there finally. Need to get back on the exercise though.

    What did you do today to get ready for archery season?

    Shot 30 arrows yesterday, 30 today. Finishing sharpening the 3 broadheads I missed my target with. Waiting on the bleeders to show up from Iron Will to finish assembling. Also loaded up the pack for the trip. 41 pounds with my bow on my back for 6 days of hunting. My OCD is trying to see where...
