    Super warm gloves

    I’ve tried lots and lots of gloves and mittens. For really cold sessions of inactivity, I use OR Alti Mitt. Best I’ve found. Black diamond guide gloves, guide finger mitt and mercury mitt are also very good as are gloves by Hestrel. For cool but not cold temps I have found Kryptek gloves to...

    Where's the kryptek love.

    I have quite a few items; cadog, dalibor, kratos, koldo, vellus jackets and pants along with some shirts, hats, gloves and the aquillo jacket. I also have an equal amount of items from Sitka including several jetstream jackets, kelvin jacket, a couple pairs of timberline pants, incinerator...

    Salomon Quest 4 D GTX for Elk?

    I have worn them twice in NW Colorado. Brought home an elk both times. I’ve never had them leak. I’m on my second pair now. I have other, more substantial boots for varying terrain but the Salomon’s have been great for me. I do agree the tread isn’t great in slippery stuff. Vibram soled...

    Anyone here deal with back pain???

    For me the back pain turned out to be ruptured L5/S1 discs and nerve issues from the rupture. Took surgery to repair it. But then I got back in the gym pretty quickly and rarely have pain anymore. Workout most days; weight lifting, body weight exercises and core strength. Weak core or...

    Knee replacement......

    I just had my knee rebuilt. Not replaced. I expect to be healthy by fall due to rehab. Three of my close friends have had knee replacements. One, had it done last May (2018) and He hunted elk in Colorado in October 2018. It was so successful he is having his other knee replaced in two...

    Check out the videos that Top Priority Hunting did on YouTube about Kryptek. Also, #robbydenning did a video on the Vellus line while #ryanavery is going to be publishing a review of Kryptek Altitude soon (we hope) as well.

    Opinions on Kryptek

    I like my Vellus but is generally too warm unless I am sitting still. Jacket is quiet but not as quiet as some others I have.

    Opinions on Kryptek

    The Vellus is 100% waterproof as the fleece is glued to a goretex like material. So it has a windproof and waterproof membrane. Vellus is also lined with primaloft. It is warm, waterproof and windproof. The fleece is very quiet and doesn’t pick up a lot of burrs. It is very warm and has...

    Opinions on Kryptek

    I have Koldo. It’s bombproof. Worn it hard. Have a lot of stuff from them. And an equal amount from Sitka. Kryptek is very good. Cheaper than Sitka but I don’t see any issues with the Kryptek. I love certain pieces. It’s been very durable. And is generally quieter than Sitka. I...

    new binoculars help

    I went through this same search. Had Maven B2 11x45. Awesome but didn’t keep them. Just a bit too big. My favorite turned out to be the Conquest HD. On here you’ll find many Maven fans. Kifaru did a webcast comparing $1,000 binos and picked Maven B2. So you’ll find a lot of...

    Maven, Meopta or Zeiss spotting scope

    One of my business partners has a Maven spotting scope. But he is thinking of selling it and getting a Zeiss Gavia or Meopta Meopro 80. He likes the maven but thinks he can do a little better without spending money for a Swaro. In my experience I think they are all pretty close and only one...

    Meopta vs sig zulu 9 15x56

    Think the Sig is the same at the current Maven B4 15x56 just like the Zulu9 is the same binocular as the Maven B2 with different armor. So you might want to look up Maven reviews. Meopta is well known and respected but heavy. The Zeiss Conquest seem to be very good too and get good...

    HIIT for hunting?

    I’ve always just done Crossfit 5-6x per week’s with a 1 mile run as my warmup. That has always worked for me. Never have felt out of breath nor out of shape during elk hunts at 7,000-9,000 feet. But CF is not always HIIT. But every workout is intense and about 20-40 minutes. The mix is...
