Ha. I added the SG access bag to the back of mine for the same purpose. Easy access to outer layers. I’ll have to look at the side bags. Thanks for the insight.
I guess I must be the outlier, as I’ve gone to the two most extremes. The 2200 for day hunts and the 7200 for the expeditions. I usually end up carrying crap for my kids or wife so I’ve always needed the extra volume. Plus those packs are easy to squish down if I don’t happen to have it full. I...
That tent sure checks a lot of boxes. Super interested to see how this one will compare to the tarptent. Both have their strengths and weaknesses. I think the sail fabric on the tarptent might be more durable, but I’m not sure. I also am a little concerned by the Durston pole size. But I’m...
This is what my dog uses. I bought it in orange as occasionally she joins me for a solo hunt so I have a companion. Fits her pretty well, but she only carries her food, collapsible bowls and a few treats. So nothing too heavy. Plus my dog is only 25 pounds...
My mods to pack….
Love my K4 and the way it carries weight. But as for bags, I’m not a fan of lids, especially on my “day pack”. But I like that bag, just needed the 2200 to be just a bit bigger. As there are times it’s just a little tight. With a spotter, tripod, puffy, rain gear. You get the...
I have to admit, I didn’t think this was going to be such a polarizing topic. I eat game, I’ve shared game with those in need, but one thing I’ve never done is wasted game. Ever. So I’m just simply trying to have a plan in place to prevent that from happening. I’m trying to teach that to my son...
That’s interesting that you mention that because they were the first people I called. Specially the Tucson office. The person I talked to said they didn’t know of any programs like that. Always makes me laugh what info you can get depending on who you talk with.
Sounds like I have plenty of people willing to accept the meat and use it! That’s awesome. I’ll reach out to those that have expressed interest in the meat as it gets closer. If there are others that are still interested in the meat, PM me and I’ll figure out a way to try and get meat to anybody...
I love the meat and have no problem eating it, and we usually do. I’m just not a fan of being the cause of meat spoilage. Currently, getting the meat home without it spoiling is the problem. Baggage fee isn’t the issue either. We don’t have the ability to freeze the meat, and they generally...
Fellow Roksliders- Looking for a little help. I’m looking to see if anybody would be wanting some free coues deer meat if I’m successful. Or tell me a place where I would be able to donate it. We would potentially be able to gift up to 3 deer. Explanation below…
Hunt the same unit every 3-4...
If I remember listening to the researchers correctly, hunter harvest accounts for a very small percentage of deer mortality, even in bucks. I would venture a guess that even with our harvesting of the big 7yo or small 2yo deer, we are having minimal impact on genetics in the overall herd, as we...
The only thing I would love to see about this tent is how it handles strong winds and truly performs. The materials should make this thing bullet proof. That sail fabric faces some strong winds and high force on the boats and rarely, if ever, tears. It’s the seams and sewing that has me...
This has become my favorite tripod head and I’m actually surprised that more people on here have gone over to it. Had the VA-5 and sold all of them and replaced them with these cause I liked them so much.
