    Denver area boot shopping

    I'd say buy online and just be sure you can try them on and wear them around the house some and still return them if you need to. Get them as early as you can, and use liners to break them in... Good luck!

    Rain suit vs Poncho question

    For hunting archery in Colorado, I've never used a poncho. A rain jacket and some DWR coated pants that dry quickly is really all I've ever needed. The storms roll in just as quickly as they run out... The shelter of an evergreen/pine can usually allow you enough shelter to let the storm...

    Sea to Summit Evac roll top bag for sleeping bag... Size ?

    I've got an 8L for my 19* down bag, so I'd guess the next size up, maybe 2 would work.

    Best rifle securing system for Kuiu

    Like these two and others said, just use the side pocket or the kifaru gun bearer. Kuiu sells (or did at one time) a rifle holder that goes on the back of the pack in the middle. I had one, and it kept the rifle centered up and down a little better than stuffing it in the side pocket. Good...

    Floorless setup question

    One layer should be enough, depending on what pad you're using. If you're concerned, double up. 3 layers is likely overkill. Just be conscious of where you set up and you should be good to go. Good Luck!

    GPS Pouch

    Thanks for the kind words. There are a lot of options out there for harnesses. I'm going to be doing a comparison here shortly and I'll go through them pretty throughly - or so I hope. For now, the clips work pretty well for what I need.

    GPS Pouch

    Check out fhfgear. Shoot him an email with what you're trying to do. He'll let you know if it'll work. Here's a video on the clips I use in conjunction with the FHF lanyards.... FHF Lanyards and Rangefinder Clips

    Leather Palm Glove Suggestions

    My buddy uses the Mechanix ones and he's happy with them. Never used them for hunting, but they are nice for working on cars/trucks. You can find them in Multicam if you "need" camo. Good luck!

    Layers For Colorado 3rd Rifle?

    I think the biggest factor here is your hunting style. Do you spend lots of time sitting? Or are you constantly" moving around? For me, 3rd season I sit for a little before sunup and then hike most of the day. Then sit a little more at sun down. For that, I use a base layer, then chama, then...

    Coffee Press

    Starbucks Via. They make Vanilla, White Mocha, Mocha, Caramel... One of those should do the trick.

    Should you roll a sleeping bag when using a stuff sack?

    If it's down it likely has a waterproof coating on the outside shell, usually sprayed or rolled on. Turn the bag inside out and stuff it in the bag. Been doing that with mine for years, and the waterproof coating is still in great condition... Stuffing it in the stuff sack without turning the...

    Best affordable rain gear

    I have a cheap, 1 layer eddie bauer rain jacket that does that. It's small, lightweight and usually sits in the pack unless a bad storm comes. It's in this video on the far right second row in the tan: Base Layers and Insulation That said, I just picked up the FL ultralight rain jacket...

    Backup battery chargers

    I have heard nothing but good things about Dark Energy. I'm getting ready to test one out. Before that, I've used all sorts of cheaper battery chargers, including solar chargers. I just did a video on this topic here: Backcountry Chargers Good luck

    Need Glove help

    I'm extremely happy with my Kuiu gloves... And I've had nothing but good things said about those I let use them too. For archery, the Tiburons are great. Light, breathable and good leather on them. For rifle, the guide are good, but not warm. Then when it gets cold, I put on the northstars...

    Kill Kit

    Mine's just the Rokslide Kill kit with the addition of a small bone saw and a pen. That's pretty much all you need. Rokslide did their homework on building that kit.

    Jacket Suggestion

    The guide jacket is ions behind the other two as far as insulation. It's more of a top layer (so long as it's not dumping snow/rain). The Superdown from Kuiu is small, warm, and light weight. But, it's pricy, down (dwr coated, but not waterproof) and sometimes it feels fragile - although it's...

    Uncompahgre and Super Down owners...thoughts?

    Here's my $.02 I love the superdown. It's warm, blocks winds, and packs really small is coated enough to keep me from getting into the pack for the rain jacket for the quick CO rain storms. Get the hood. However, it's loud. So it's just for warming up and keeping warm, rather than stalking...
