    Extra Camp clothes

    My reason for bringing "camp" clothes is so that sparks from the fire don't burn holes in my pricier hunting clothes... just a thought.

    What is the best sleeping bag?

    That's the direction I'm headed (just don't need the long/wide). The "failproofness" of synthetic is worth the extra weight bulk over down... in my opinion. Good Luck!

    Does this Kuiu setup work for mid season elk nevada/CO

    Yes.... But like others have said, you'll want a rain jacket/outer shell. Good Luck!

    Which Pants to Purchase???

    I'd look at first lite. They fit much looser than the Kuiu ones. I'm a big fan of the First Lite Obsidian. Great Pant! Good Luck!

    Who carries a power bank? What are some high capacity/low weight models < $50

    I have used the MoPower from Amazon (I think it's $17 right now) for the past couple seasons. Probably not as durable as the dark energy ones, but serves its purpose for me.. Video on backcountry charging I did here: Backcountry Chargers Good Luck!

    Best pad?

    I'm a huge fan of the Big Agnes Q-Core SLX. Insulated, thick and comfy...hard to beat! Got it in the long/wide version. I sleep better on it that on my mattress at home. Good Luck!

    FL Pant Choice WY October Elk Hunting

    I'm about to give my Obsidians a run through the paces, so I can't comment on that side. But out of curiosity, what don't you like about the guide pants? For October/November they are my go to, but I'm not packing in for those hunts... The original kanab can probably fill some of your pant...

    School me on gaiters

    I'd look very hard at the kennetrek in either a L or XL. They were always too big for my chicken legs, but maybe they'll work. I used mine for a decade without a problem - just had to cinch them down as far as I could. The Mediums fit me better. I really like the Yukon gaiters from Kuiu, but...

    Kuiu pants fitment

    Depends on what pants. The Tiburons are tighter/higher rise than the attacks, and the guides are more roomy than the attacks... I actually find the sizing to be right on... Good Luck!

    I have quite a few at the youtube link below. Do you have any clothing now or are you starting from a clean slate? Good Luck!

    Kifaru Water bottle holster on a Stone Glacier

    Not a SG, but I did put it on a Kuiu... Here's the video of how I did it: Kifaru Water Bottle Pocket on Kuiu Icon Pro I'd bet the use of the malice clips could make it possible, but I just don't have 1st hand knowledge of how to do it on a SG. Good Luck!

    Which solid color for Co elk?

    I'm going to go with anything that spooked because of the color of your pants was not likely to be had... Good Luck!

    Kuiu Load Hauler question

    Above are correct... The icon pro series bags (1850, 3200, 5200, 7200) are designed to allow for load hauling between the frame and the bag without any additional accessories. The Load hauler is for when you are just taking the frame (no bag) back for the 2nd load. One or the other. Good Luck
