Just leaving an elk hunt in SW Colorado where cattle were high in NF (9k-11kft) and elk were non-existent in the area. Talked to a few outfitters and they believe the recent heatwave/drought caused ranchers to move cattle higher than normal, which pushed the elk into the neighboring unit (not an...
Stealing this. I’ve been putting my tent or jacket compression sacks in the bottom straps, but this makes way more sense. Thanks!

Do the majority of my own stuff, but was having a hell of a tough time broadhead tuning my V3X. Took to a tuning specific pro shop (Tagged Out Tuning in Maryland), and we finally discovered the QAD Integrate rests sometimes have issues with longer draw V3X’s (31.5”). Never would have figured...
Nemo Argali. Basically half quilt, half sleeping bag with an attached pad sleeve.
On a different bag I have, I put the pad inside the bag with me and have had better results than just using it as advertised and hoping to stay on it through the night.

Love the community we have here!

Had been sort of on the fence with my tent as I’ve been really leaning towards an UL tarp setup…so this morning I had a mental lapse of judgement and pulled the trigger on a SG Skyair ULT with accessories. Dropped a pound of pack weight to #42 with 10 days of food!
Anyhow…there’s now a...

A brand we’re not too familiar with in the hunting landscape, but very well known by AT thru-hikers. I’m 6’4, and it’s an absolute palace of a 1 person. Fully seam sealed. Can use the included adjustable poles to...
Monster of a gym session this morning with my wife on our anniversary, a quick lake swim, then a few glasses of wine together. Start my drive 6 Sept.
