Used one season, packed out two deer. I love the functionality and and it packs great. The only problem is I have very narrow hips and with a heavy load I max out the waist belt and it still slips down a bit. I've talked to Badlands about it and unfortunately right now there isn't anything they...
These Anker's are awesome. I have a bigger one that stays in the truck all fall and I've never noticed it loosing charge in cold weather. They are solid and a good value.
So I was in the Boise area recently and tried visiting the initial ascent shop in Middleton but couldn't find it. Tried calling and no one answered. Maybe they moved recently? Any idea if they have a storefront?
MuleDeerMike Initial ascent is at the top of my list for that reason. I actually was in the Boise area recently and looked them up but couldn't find their shop in Middleton. Not sure if they moved and google isn't current or what. Tried calling them but no one answered.
I am thinking both for september archery and october rifle hunts. I generally hunt in the 6,000 to 9,000 ft elevation range and can be below freezing especially in October. Not looking for the ultimate in confort, just something that will get me through the night and allow some sleep maybe...
I have been out on many day hunts were I wished I was slightly more prepared for an unexpected overnight. Looking for a lightweight tent or bivy option that I can just keep in my pack for sunup to sundown day hunts that could on occasion turn into overnighters. Any suggestions? I have an...
Thanks for all the help guys. Good food for thought. I think I am going to try to get through this season then probably sell my Badlands or keep it as a spare to whatever I end up getting. To set the record straight Badlands has had awesome customer service through all this and I do like a...
Didn't know exo is out of Boise, may have to pay them a visit. So my current pack that I'm dealing with fit issues is a Badlands. Those guys are awesome and I appreciate everything they do. They have helped me a bunch and I'm about to send in the medium vario frame to try a large. The load...
couesbitten thanks I saw that thread and I'm eagerly watching new posts. Thanks guys, look forward to hearing more about the Kuiu Pro. My buddy has an icon pro 3200 which I just tried on today. Only thing I don't like is the narrow frame (for meat shelf platform) and he mentioned it makes a...
Thanks for the feedback. Anyone tried Initial Ascent? I've been reading through a review thread about them and they definitely peaked my interest at the show. Just curious if anyone has anything good or bad to say?
New to the forum and looking forward to sticking around a while.
So I recently bought a lower end modular pack system and was super excited, loved the features and tech behind it. I loaded it up with 80 to 100 pounds and found the waist belt maxed out on my skinny frame. It was snug but not...
