    Anyone using Leukotape for blisters?

    Been using Leukotape since my Infantry days. It lasts well and saves me from bringing extra types of tape like electrical or tenacious tape because its waterproof and sticks to almost everything. Not thing of note is to be aware of where you apply it. It'll wax your toe hair for sure.

    Hunt Planning Help

    Thanks for the post. Is that Muley or Couse that your referencing? Also, you said starting points? Do you need points to hunt it? Its Buck only if I'm not mistaken correct? I didn't realize that the season went all the way into January but knowing that now, I have an Army buddy that lives...

    Hunt Planning Help

    Unfortunately for me, the 2016 season is already over with a cow elk to show for it. Im proud of the harvest but because of a deployment, I was left with only those 3 days of early season hunting for this year. My question is kind of a general one. I will be home by the end of October 2017...

    Adding a Rifle scabbard to EXO 5500

    What you can do is get a generic one with cover for about 20-30 on the internet and bring it to a tailor like I did for another 15 I had it permanently attached on the backside of the bag between the frame and the bag on my old EXO. Amazon.com : VISM byNcStar Tactical Rifle Scabbard...

    Out of shape flatlander, solo help

    Check out the training mask. Im using it again this year and I can say its quite effective at helping adjust to the rigors of altitude from a cardio standpoint. Fair warning, it sucks while you use it but that sweat will save you on a mountain.

    Out of shape flatlander, solo help

    I second the Wilderness Athlete thing. You can get their HY-Altitude kit and follow the directions. As a fellow flatlander, I can attest that it certainly does help. Obviously nothing will replace fitness but it will certainly aid in preventing AMS. On the scouting front, check out OnXMaps...

    Meat in a creek

    Usually when I down an animal if its hot I will use contractor bags and store them in a creek while Im packing out each quarter. Ive seen several guys on here and elsewhere that just put the meat bag with no waterproofing or watertight bag in the creek and I always wonder if they are losing...

    Hilleberg Soulo

    To not limit yourself look into the tarp tent, Moment DW. Its a double wall free standing tent thats less expensive than most of the hillebergs and is free standing with the cross pole. It weighs only 32oz and is comfortable. Ive used it and haven't experienced any condensation issues...

    Bow Hiking 2016

    Theres a couple of things to keep in mind as well. First, depending on where you're from, consider the distances you are comfortable shooting and be sure you can shoot at western ranges. Down south and out east, 30-40yds is a longer shot but generally speaking that is close range for elk woods...

    Typical day of Bivvy Hunting

    Agreed, take it slow. Be methodical, make a plan and follow the sign. Often times where they should be, they aren't.

    Sea to summit UL dry bags?

    The sea to summit bags work pretty well for multi function items in your pack. To save weight I use one for my sleep system and clothing 13L and another one for food 13L or 20L depending on the length of the trip. I find that the food one is sufficient for a hanging/bear bag and the other once...

    Lizard Head Wilderness

    Ill be there from Aug 27- Sept 8. The trail head is ok to park at and it'll give you a good starting point. Ive hunted there one other time, backpacked in on the trail and didn't have a problem. I don't know if theres any other place to park up that way. I backpack in to where I hunt so the...
