    Under the Nomad??

    My plan is to get a pocket that will hold the slick bag and a para/supertarp below the Nomad columns.... Haven't gotten that far yet though.

    Which binoculars are just step down from the best of the best?

    I am extremely happy with my Nikon 7S 10x42's. Less than $200 bucks on amazon here: Nikon 7S 10x42's but I guess is depends on what you're looking for...

    Holster/gear attachment to hip belt

    I'd bet these would work:Blackhawk Speed Clips Or when in doubt, use a malice clip: Malice Clips I had good luck with this for mounting my holster to the pack: Holster Adapter Mount

    [/QUOTE Thanks. Is the Mopower durable? I believe so. I've packed it into the backcountry 4 times now and it's held up great. The key with the poseidon is that its "waterproof"... is that worth 5 times the cost? That's the question. For now, the MoPower is where I chose to spend $20 and...

    Backpack capacity for 5 day elk hunt?

    That's always an option. Just put it in a sea to summit eVent compression dry sack The straps from the compression sack make for an easy attachment point and your bag will be nice and dry when you get to camp. Not a bad idea to do this even if the sleeping bag fits in your pack as you may...

    The Poseidon is supposed to be awesome and tough. Right now, thanks to Gritty Bowmen, if you use "Gritty15" at checkout you get 15% off, I think it's still good. I did a video on what I use here: Backcountry Chargers These are the chargers in that video: Instapark Solar Charger Set Mopower...

    KUIU new shipment next month

    Thanks for the update. I can pretty much guarantee you'll like the gaiters. They are sweet. They are far better than the kenetrek ones and they are still (in my opinion) better than the First Lite ones. A note about the Guide Jacket. It is not an insulation jacket. I really like that...

    No worries at all! I understand. If you'd like to try here's how: Click "Settings" scroll down to "Photos & Camera" click on that. Scroll down to "Record Video" click on that. Click on "1080HD at 60 fps". Then the check mark should be by "1080HD at 60 fps" and that's it. FYI: It does take a...

    I wasn't trying to be rude. iPhone's default setting for video is 30fps. Go in and change the video recording to 60 fps (1080 HD at 60fps). Makes a world of difference. Mostly, I was trying to be helpful since I noticed you sent your post via iPhone. You'll notice I first suggested some...

    I use the Go Pro Hero 5 for hunting/action, you can find it here: Go Pro Hero 5. After that, they get really pricy like these: Sony Alpha A7, Nikon D810, and the Canon 5d Mark iv You'd be surprised how well the iphone 6/7 works if you put it in 60 fps video, especially since most of us take...

    Favorite cool set?

    I've heard good things about the Toaks stuff too... For $25, I'm thinking of giving the 550ml Pot a try. Definitely heard theres a need for the Hot Lips, especially for the morning coffee...

    Muley Freak Bino Harness

    Apparently Kuiu is coming out with some add-ons for their bino harnesses.... Looking forward to hearing this. I hated the attached part of the KUIU. it basically flops around when you have the binos out and it's annoying!

    Favorite cool set?

    I've had great luck with the GSI Haluite Minimalist. My only complaint is the dinky spork that comes with it. But I just replaced that with a Sea to Summit Long Spork. Been using this for probably 10 years without a hiccup. My whole cook kit fits in a Kifaru Pullout and a video on that...

    Any other uses for Dry Sacks?

    My thoughts on dry sacks are you get what you pay for. Pay a little more and go with these: Sea to Summit eVent Dry Bags I did a quick video on the uses for these, here, but basically anything you want to keep dry, especially if you're putting things outside your pack. A pillow, food hanging...

    What does a poor guy wear to hunt the mountains?

    Prior to having higher end gear (Kuiu, First Lite, etc.) I backpacked and hunted with a pair of these: Columbia Silver Ridge for years. The added bonus of zip offs helps for hot days, although not the most "fashionable". But the price was right. As for hunting, a pair of these: Carhartt Pants...
