    Custom Burris Turrets

    I recently purchased a Burris fullfield E1, and am thinking about getting a custom turret made. Has anyone done this from either Burris or Kenton industries? How did you like it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Long shot

    I doubt anyone can help me but I figure it’s worth a shot. Does anyone know where I can source some cordura fabric in first lite fusion? I’m gonna end up buying a mountain rambler off a buddy and cutting it up for the fabric most likely, but felt like it was worth putting this out there before I...

    Favorite backpack lid

    Poncho?

    Last year I used a military surplus goretex rain jacket and it performed fine. This year I want to save some weight and maybe get a little more versatility. For my bottoms i just carry a set of Arc’teryx wraith wind pants. For southern Colorado in September I found they offer enough protection...

    Metcalf mods

    I’m debating what to do. I have a mystery ranch metcalf and cannot decide if I want to add a stretch pocket to the front panel of the bag or just add some molle webbing and run some pouches off the front of the bag. What is your guys opinion? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Filbe mods

    I just finished making modifications to the filbe main pack for my buddy going on his first backpack hunt. The bag already fits the mystery ranch frame, but as is you can’t haul meat between the frame and bag. I started out cutting off any excess material. Starting with the Molle side panels...

    Metcalf load shelf

    Is anyone else of the opinion that the load shelf on the metcalf rides to low? I’m seriously considering cutting it off and either sewing it high on the bag or cutting it out all together and adding two new buckles on the top of the frame so I can just run a load sling similar to what stone...

I’m the only one on the group who has a satellite messenger with a sos function. We will be splitting into two groups to hunt through the day. I’m worried that if...

    DIY cylinder stove

    I’m building a cylinder stove and just got all my parts in the mail today. For guys who have done it what did you find was the best way to cut the hole in the stove body for the pipe so that you got a decent seal? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    To early for stove?

    I’ll be going elk hunting in southern Colorado September 14-21. Is that to early to bring my cylinder stove or is it worth packing. Weight of shelter and stove would be split between three guys Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Puffy pants, or base later

    I picked up a set of army surplus puffy pants for 26 bucks off eBay. They weigh two pounds but are super warm, I’m considering not taking any base layers because I run pretty warm when hiking and putting the puffy pants on when I stop and at night. I know some prefer this method, I guess what...

    First lite layering

    I’m going on a backpack elk hunt in September and am getting my gear together. So far for the top I have the first lite Wilkins and charma quarter zip, along with a north face thermoball jacket and rain shell. Just wanted to ask from people who have used first lite if they thought the new hooded...
