    X Pac Sheen

    That is awesome news. I have no experience with the material. I may just rub some dirt over the face of it to speed up the process. I'm looking at building a Seek Outside pack in olive green. That fabric looks nice! Unfortunately I hunt in an area where the multicam sticks out like a sore...

    X Pac Sheen

    Does anyone have any tricks to tone down the sheen of X Pac materials? I've searched with no luck. I am itching to pull the trigger on a custom pack built with X Pac material but I can't get past the shininess of it. I would be fine misting spray paint over the bag but in my experience, at least...

    Oregon spring bear

    I think it's the amount of new hunters and the popularity of the hunting media. It's the "cool" thing to do now. There are so many videos, articles and forums on hunting that anyone can get a laundry list of things they need to do it as well as an area to go from the internet and get started on...

    WTB Seek Outside Goshawk (Possibly Lanner)

    Checking to see if anyone has a Seek Outside Goshawk with a medium or large belt they're looking to part with before I pull the trigger on one from their website. May be interested in a Lanner for the right price. Let me know!

    Favorite Backcountry Gear for 2020?

    Tarptent Stratospire double wall tent- Lightweight and considerably warmer than single wall look-alikes. Was hesitant to spend the extra $ but I'm impressed by it's quality and warmth. Spent the season well rested

    How do you organize your gear?

    I keep my pack ready to go with all the all the little items I need for a hunt. I always seem to forget something if I have to dig through my totes to repack it. After that I have totes for camping gear and then each type of hunting. And of course a safe for expensive things.

    Rain Gear Kuiu vs First Lite

    No personal experience with the Yukon however I know several people who wear them for construction work all winter long and have had no issues over the years. Those sets have seen a lot more abuse then they ever would in a decade of hunting seasons.

    Kuiu vs Sitka

    Also a PNW hunter. I own Kuiu and Sitka gear. 3 out of 4 things I've bought from Kuiu in the past year have had to be returned. Two pieces of clothing started falling apart a week into wearing them and the Chugach jacket I have soaked through 4 hours into a hike on it's first trip. That being...

    Shooting a lightweight rifle well

    Shooting offhand is where I notice the biggest difference in a lightweight rifle. Utilizing a rifle sling as a shooting support makes a world of difference in steadiness and only takes a second to get into position after practice: https://gundigest.com/more/how-to/rifle-shooting-basics-loop-sling

    Reasonably Priced 20* Down Bag

    I bought a Marmot Radium 20 bag two seasons ago and have used it down to freezing temps. I've stayed warm wearing base layers with snow falling outside my tent and I'm a cold sleeper. For a sub-$200 bag (on sale), I have no complaints.

    Blacktail Wa?

    While I usually carry a scoped rifle for the occasional longer shot, I can tell you that a lever gun would have been ideal for 80% of the blacktail I've taken. If I ever go back to rifle hunting for them it will be with a 30-30.

    Gravity filter

    The only issue I have had with mine is finding a good branch to hang the top bladder from. I finally took a length of tent guy line and use it to hang the dirty water bladder from branches of different heights or stumps. The clean water bladder rests on the ground. I was going to buy the...

    First solo backcountry elk hunt

    As someone who made my first backcountry hunt a solo one last year, be prepared to be flexible and go the extra mile. I hiked further than expected and stayed up late to process the meat and ensure proper cooling. Lots of instant caffeinated beverages were consumed. Calling solo shouldn't be...
