    Tipis (no stove) and sheep hunts (the good, the bad and everything in between)

    I did see reviewers mention that pitching it with wind direction is mind was important so that broadside wasn't exposed. Trying to get a read of night time wind direction is tough though and there is some luck involved. I feel like the cimarron should be fine. I'd likely just stick with the...

    Tipis (no stove) and sheep hunts (the good, the bad and everything in between)

    my hunting partners have the refuge 3 man they'll use. Seems to have held up well last year on their hunt.. cimarron is definiitely a bigger foot print, but I like the idea of more space on those down days. Might need some extra guy points I guess.

    Tipis (no stove) and sheep hunts (the good, the bad and everything in between)

    i do like the idea of the tipi's size during down days as I think I'd lose my mind in a small space.

    Tipis (no stove) and sheep hunts (the good, the bad and everything in between)

    thanks everyone. The last thing I want is my tent failing and potentially ending a hunt too soon.

    Tipis (no stove) and sheep hunts (the good, the bad and everything in between)

    Did a search and there are general threads asking about shelters. Thought I'd start this so people can comment on their positive and negative experiences with tipis in the alpine and subalpine and specifically in regards to sheep... Or goats. I am stone sheep hunting next year. Should I...

    Sitka core midweight zip t thoughts

    Thanks gents. I run real hot too. I've been concerned that I wouldn't use the core heavy weight unless the temps were around freezing and there was no precip. I have that core lightweight and really like it. I'm thinking I'll just stick with the L/W. I just bought a long sleeve EB shirt that...

    Kowa 773 or 883?

    I currently have a 883 and a 773. Trying to decide which one to keep. They are very close. I also have both eyepieces, and even they are very close in quality. I could see the individual peels of a banana that a guy was eating from just shy of 3kms away. Both are excellent. The sizing...

    Meopta S2 VS swaro ATX ?

    Do not feel the pressure of buying a swaro. They are excellent. Unless you're flush and want to own the best I'd argue that you'd struggle to tell the different between the meopta and swaro. I really could see the difference between my kowa 663 and the 65atx (very subtle and not worth the...

    2020 Southern BC Mountain Goat

    It's the off season and I finally got my 2020 mountain goat from the taxidermist. Thought I'd share the handy work of Lino Grifone in castlegar bc, and the story of how I got this beauty. 1) The story I shared on my local hunting forum...have some pics in there...

    I wouldn't mind seeing a picture of your buckle set up so I can better understand the idea. if you have time. thank you.

    Stone glacier approach 2800

    I have a feeling that solo is going to get refreshed b/c it is lacking simple features that are found on the approach and the 5900.

    Stone glacier approach 2800

    I'm bummed. Just bought a solo and this 2800 is what I really wanted. Love to hear more thoughts on it. Especially compared to the 40/56. Do you think you'll even use that 40/56? I have a sky 7900 and feel I can use that in bivvy mode if I need more room that what the 2800 would give me. 2800...

    Kowa 773 - Best Option

    Check S&s archery as well for kowa. I believe they are a site sponsor too and they produce some very helpful videos. Sent from my SM-G960W using Tapatalk

    Kuiu Super Down Pro - opinions??

    I like my super down pro. Just bought and have tested on hikes and at ski hill. Decent wind resistance at ski hill. When hiking you heat up real quick which is expected. Having those put zips is an awesome feature. Say if you wanted to shift from one spot to another that isn't too far away...

    Swarovoski 25x50 eyepiece has terrible full view.

    I was underwhelmed by the swaro atx 65 and sts65. I had a kowa 663 and the swaros were better but only marginally. I regretted selling the 663 after looking through the swaros. The kowa 773 is what I have now and it's good. I'd rather spend the money on the kowa then the premium for the...
