    Dropping pack to stalk...

    You can pretty much fit all of that into a suped up bino harness with a bladder. I know marsupial and kuiu have attachments that will fit all of those things. Get that Aziak clip for your inreach and you can clip it right to your harness to save the pocket space. Good on you for doing what...

    Friendly reminder to test your new gear!

    With the weather rolling through the west the next few days get out and test your gear! For instance, today I found out that one degree is pretty far past the range of my new hanwags and my new Sitka gloves are the cats ass!

    What is your equipment upgrade strategy?

    What’s worked well for me is that I separate my gear into 2 or 3 different categories and rotate them for upgrades every year. Like this year I upgraded a lot of my clothing. Last year I focused on optics. Next year will be weapon system focused. It’s gotten difficult because once I got to a...

    First big gear purchase?

    I think my first big purchase was really good boots. My feet used to take a beating! But by far my biggest purchase or investment to date is in my rifle. That is followed closely by optics 🤑

    What is your equipment upgrade strategy?

    I’d say focus on the things you need first. Weapon, shelter, pack, etc. and POINTS. Once you’re off and running in points, you can start tweaking the gear you have and developing your gear addiction like the rest of us. One thing that was super helpful for me is that I’m not a hoarder so if...

    Which to choose? 15x binos or spotter?

    I carried 18x56’s this year in addition to my 10x42’s. For deer the 18’s were more than enough for picking up deer in the open country and judging size within about 600 yards. The only way I think I’d go back to a spotter now, would be if I drew a sheep tag and really wanted to judge an animal...

    Tripod Tip #1 standing position demo

    Something I’m trying to fix or contain between now and next fall is my ability track shots more easily. I feel like I had a really difficult time staying on target this year. Do you think that can be helped in a scenario where I able to get the gun on the tripod and hang a weighted gear bag from...

    Oregon Spring Bear

    Looking through the threads, I haven’t see any discussion about spring bear for Mt. Emily in a while. I’m carrying 7 points now and I think I can get that tag. Anybody have any experience from last year in that unit for spring bear? I’m usually not hitting eastern Oregon until July so I don’t...

    Kifaru Wind River jacket review ***Updated 5/21/23***

    This might be a dumb question. To the guys that utilized this in the cold with a puffy, are you wearing it under or over the puffy? I have the old version of the mountain jacket which I love, but I like the weight and packability of this.
