    7mm-08 Rem success on big game

    I've seen my wife use her handy little 7mm08 on multiple animals. Her first deer was with one and shes been using it ever since. The load of choice for her is a mild 120 gr barnes ttsx and its been phenomenal on game. Its not a fast load since my dad hand loaded it to reduce recoil even...

    Grid fleece comparison

    You know I still have to eat crow to buy patagonia. Kinda like growing up in a Chevy household and then buying a Ford. I had to call my dad and warn him lol. I'll scope the interwebs for a sale and grab one to give it a go!

    Grid fleece comparison

    I'm not nearly that cool! I can mock up a spreadsheet with garment weights and see if it helps. I have a theory on testing the warmth retention properties of each with a fixed temp object (water bottle warned to exactly the same temp) and a timer to see which ones one insulate better I have...

    Grid fleece comparison

    OK, relieved the kryptek cronos (non hooded) as well as as a first lite Klamath and a midway usa elk fork The best value grid fleece right now is the elk fork and it's not even close. 27$ is a steal. The condor is a really close second with what seems to be a big variance in quality and fit...

    Grid fleece comparison

    OK boys got a couple more Ended up snagging a mountain hardware glacial trail half zip and it's the bees knees. The weight is almost identical to the sitka midweight and they do make a hooded option as well. Got it online from dicks sporting goods for 25$ and at that rate I'd call it a steal...

    Jetstream Stratus or something else?

    Jetstream for sure. It won't soak up water like the face of the stratus, and it's plenty quiet especially the camo versions. I have a prior model in solid dirt color and it's a nylon face and louder than my OC jetstream which has a polyester face. The jetstream is my one and only if I could...

    Saddle Hunting Camo

    Yeah if a guy wants to immediately upgrade his situation, a pnuma heated vest and a couple batteries can go a long damn ways

    Saddle Hunting Camo

    Man that stratus bib has been a great deal for me. I use a jetstream jacket with mine and if a guy couldn't have more gear you could get yourself into a lot of weather with that setup for sure.

    Saddle Hunting Camo

    This is the way. Base layers cross. Mid layers cross Gloves cross Pants cross Puffy vests cross But for whitetails, nothing beats bibs and a good jacket for long cold rut sits

    Kryptek Koldo- wow its really good

    I have been looking for some new rain gear since I punched a hole through my pnuma 3l pants recently and stumbled into a used deal on a koldo rain jacket. I was looking for a rain jacket to wear fishing, hunting elk this fall and waterfowl as needed. I was originally set on buying two jackets, a...

    Sitka Ambient UL 60 Hoody

    I mean you won't have to twist my arm for too long to end up with both I'm sure.... I think the mtn evo might fit my use case the most, especially if I can wear it in the early morning over a base layer as I trudge my fat tail up the hill without the need to take it off lol. I still love my...
