    Binos

    The Swaros are the ones all the others get compared to for a reason.

    Day Pack w/ gun Sling

    I was in your same boat last year. You need something with a sturdy waist belt and some sort of frame to properly do what you’re wanting. Lots of options here just depends on how much you want to spend. I landed on a mystery ranch pop up 38. It’s got the perfect setup and size to be a daypack...

    6.5 C or 308?

    Exactly. I don’t even shoot a 308, I just know it’s probably in the top 3 most used calibers of all time out west or anywhere.

    6.5 C or 308?

    Ummm, saying the 308 isn’t common out west for hunting is flat out crazy talk. The creedmore may very well be a better cartridge, but there is still an extremely large amount of people with a 308 strapped around their shoulders out west come opening day of rifle season. I’m in the can’t go wrong...

    Favorite/best headlamp?

    I’ve got two, one older version and one newer. The newer is a little brighter. Both of mine are holding up excellent. Can’t see any reason to spend more on a headlamp. Especially considering if you buy one extra battery of Amazon I don’t think you could run out of light for a moderate length trip

    Jumping Jack Trailers

    Right with everyone else on the price completely shutting down any desire to own one. They definitely look useful and fill a niche, but there’s a lot that can be done with that kind of money that would make way more sense. Even with all that said they still intrigue me when I’m at an outdoor...

    Your favorite hunting knife?

    I’ve got a Cabelas Alaska guide Buck knives that has just been a damn good knife. It holds its edge very well, sharpens nicely and just fits the hand really well. I know I could go down the knife rabbit hole and never be seen again but this knife really keeps me from feeling like I need to jump...

    Impressed with Kings Camo

    They’re reasonably warm. For hiking in those temps they’re just about perfect. But if you’re stationary for long periods you will probably want some puffy pants or base layers. I like to use the zip off base layers if I know I’m going to be sitting. They’re definitely warmer than the ridge...

    12 Gauge vs 20 Gauge for bird hunting

    I’m in the 12 guage camp. Mainly because it’s the easiest to find ammo for. While 20 isn’t bad to find ammo, typically the variety isn’t as vast. That and funny as it sounds, if you or a buddy runs out on a hunt more often than not you’ll both be shooting a 12. But man I sure do love a good 20...

    Avery quickset vs drake ghillie blind

    I’m with MallardSX2, build your own. It’s more work but will ultimately fit your boat better. If not I’d also consider the beavertail over those two. It’s one of the best thought out boat blinds

    Do you keep your vehicle clean?

    During hunting season? Absolutely not. Although I can’t do mass amounts of trash. That gets cleaned out at any stop with a receptacle. And I loath when people use the side pockets of the doors for trash cans. But yeah during hunting season dust, mud and gear are usually building up until the...

    Best binoc for glassing into the sun?

    No binos are great at glassing into the sun. But since you said price is no factor why not get some NL pures? They’ve pretty much taken the spot as best bins probably ever made.

    Insulated vs uninsulated boots..

    Another vote for uninsulated. I rarely even use insulated in late November. If your moving much insulated will be miserable

    Shooting sticks

    I use the trigger stick mono as a combo walking/shooting stick. LOVE it for a bino rest. So slick to just drop it to whatever level you’re on and glass off of. With 10x42’s it’s money. For shooting, if at any real distance you need something to kind of prop against for an aid being just a mono...

    IPhone 15 or In reach ....

    If the 15 can pull it off that might be a game changer

    $5k - $6k for a hunt….where would you go, what would you hunt?

    I’d spend it on gas freelancing for waterfowl. But I also have a lifetime worth of gear and a boat😆

    Do you take a backup rifle on hunts?

    Never if I’m having to leave it in the truck. Saw someone say “that’s what insurance is for”. Some things can’t be replaced, though I do get that way of thinking, I’m just more sentimental about my rifles to shrug off one of them getting stole. I personally know a few folks who had their stuff...

    Kids camo advice

    We’re buying adult small for our 10 year old. Should fit him perfect when he’s 11, slightly baggy now. He’s a bigger kid though

    Welcome to Born Primitive Clothing

    Cool. Threw me off a bit going to the website and seeing mostly gym clothing. Name definitely sounds like an outdoor type company.
