    Thumb release or index finger

    So have I always used a index finger release (True Fire Hurricane). I place my thumb behind my neck as one of my anchor points. It is difficult to get the same anchor point when wearing a neck gaitor or a hood. So, I'm thinking of switching it up and getting a different release. I have...

    movin to colorado

    As crazy as it sounds Kansas and Nebraska is not a bad idea. You have to figure that there are several million people from Ft Collins to CO Springs, any and all public gets hit hard. The birds are shot at as if using surface to air missles. Sky busting is a cancer here it seems because if you...

    movin to colorado

    Waterfowling is tough! Public gets hammered by everyone that lives on the front range. The CDOW does have a reservation system and some good shooting can be had. I have searched for the last 10 years for good spots. It is rough going. Unless you can pony up a lot of coin. Most outfitters...

    Best -20 sleeping bag

    I will chime in and give Mont Bell a nod. I bought the Super Spiral #1 bag this year and can finally say I am happy. The stretch in the bag is amazing. I can move around and the bag shrinks around me. No cold spots and the freedom to move around is great.

    Love REI!

    I try to get the best deals I can on gear. I use my dividend and watch for sales. Sometimes paying a little more is worth the ease of the no hassle exchange/return policy REI has. My exped ul7 pad had a small leak in the baffle crease on the bottom of the pad. I tried to patch it with little...

    OK....so, DT1 or DT2 ??

    Good decision! There is a lot you can cut off. I simply can't so it. I have thought about the snow collar and the sleeping bag divider but I can't make myself do it. Like I said, you can always buy another bag to go on the frame down the road if it is too much. You will love the frame...

    OK....so, DT1 or DT2 ??

    Go DT1 for reasons mentioned above. If it is not the do all pack you thought it would be buy a DT2 or DT3 with the extra pods and belt pouches. For myself I bought the DT1 and LOVE the suspension more than anything. I have used it for backpacking and hunting. It does compress down very...

    Mid Weight Pants

    I believe the 2013 line of gear that KUIU is offering are going to have zipper vents on both there Attack pants and Guide pants. Sounds like the heavier Guide pant with zips would fit the bill perfect for you. Open the zips on the why up to dump all the heat as you climb and then close them up...

    How do you carry your calls?

    I have always put them in my pant pocket. Never have had a problem. Saw on the bulging bulls game calls web site a wrist strap that holds calls. Looks intersting.

    C'mon Man!!!

    Better today. Not heavy pack ready though. My archery elk season ends on Sunday. I'm close to being ready. Hopefully after tomorrows treatment I will be 90% so I can give it a go. Two tags in the pocket for elk. Lower back problems stink. Funny thing is I'm in the best shape I've been in...
