    Kutana pant material

    That may be it. The material has a very different feel to it.

    Kutana pant material

    I recently ordered a second pair of Kuiu Kutana pants. I already had one pair in an ash solid color. I ordered the new pair in the Valo pattern. The solid material seems much more durable and the camo material seems almost too soft. I sent pictures to their customers support and they say it’s...

    Hip rubbing/cuts from pack belt

    I had this happen when I was wearing a webbed belt. Took it off mid hike and pain gone. Just have to be careful not to lose too much weight after a week of hunting otherwise I may end up hiking out sans pants

    What Happened to Sitka?

    CS rep told me when I called about ordering a Stratus jacket that they would be coming out with a "better" version this summer for whitetail if I could wait. That's all he could share at that point. Noticed this weekend that Scheels seemed to have much less inventory, and they said they no...

    Cheap Stuff that Works

    Not sure if this is a big deal for many folks but I deal with tight muscles so I like to roll them as much as possible. Lacrosse balls work great but they are heavy so I started to carry a pickleball ball in my pack. Weighs next to nothing and does as good of a job as a lacrosse ball at rolling...

    Weather device

    Garmin InReach can send a 24 hour or extended forecast to the unit and your cell phone via satellite. Used it last week a few miles down the trailhead for a few days and it was reasonably accurate.

    Cheap Stuff that Works

    I’ve found these headlamps to work great and can’t beat the price of $9.99 for a pair right now. https://a.co/d/2NDMOY3

    Jetstream Stratus or something else?

    I’m typically a tree stand whitetail hunter, needing something more suitable for the cold wind in late season. I’ve got the Traverse hoody which I love but it doesn’t block the wind well at all. Great piece that is super quiet for bow hunting so my question is if it’s worth the $ to replace...

    New Mystery Ranch Metcalf

    I am wondering if its compatible with the old frame and if they would sell it separate? I don't see a lot of updates to the pack itself that would make me want to throw my old one out just for the hip belt.

    Nemo Tracker Tent

    Anyone have any ideas on how to keep the snow skirt off the ground in normal weather? They seem to keep the air flow down. Looking for something a little more reliable than a clothes pins 😂

    Mystery Ranch Hip belt advice please!

    I had a similar issue and tried the OVI MEAN Pad myself. Seems like the fit is unique to different body shapes. The OV Pad actually made my pain worse. I have a more curved backside so it seemed to have just added to the pressure on my lower back. I called MR and they sent me a different size...

    New Mystery Ranch Metcalf

    Figured I would start a thread to get people's thoughts on the new MR Metcalf. I am aware of another thread based on the pre released full catalog but thought it would be good to have a thread dedicated to thoughts and feedback on the actual pack from anyone not affiliated that has gotten their...

    Cheap Stuff that Works

    I can't find a reason to hate this $25 puffy jacket. It was too cheap to not try it out and so far I am not disappointed. https://www.32degrees.com/products/mens-ultra-light-down-packable-jacket

    Alkaline on at least one. Two others are newer without SD cards (cloud storage I guess?). I will try to check and report back after this weekend.

    Moultrie Mobile releases Edge Pro for 2023–review in progress

    We have three now and they have much better battery life than the Spypoint they replaced. Batteries last a few months honestly. Dozens of pictures, multiple times a day, high quality. We have been very pleased so far.

    Black Ovis Realm

    Bought the Black Ovis Realm and I was very, very pleased with it. Wore it a few days hiking at Big Bend over the weekend and it was perfect. Lightweight, wicked well, chest pocket and kangaroo pouch were in great spots wearing a pack. The material was very comfortable and the fit was great. I am...

    LW Base layer

    OR echo is definitely shorter in length. I love it but I’d size up
