    My gear/pack layout from base layers to binos

    Ton's of reviews on YT about them, I plan to pick one up one day but doubt I'd use it for more than day hunts. Common consensus seems to be that it's too bulky for packing in deep. That being said, some very active bushcrafter's I watch use it regularly and actively with no complaints in...

    Best Socks for Sweaty Feet

    Interesting, I’ve never heard of that. Is it a powder you apply or something else?

    New Argali MagnaCut Knives

    I have a Carbon and also have large hands, it is my "best fitting" hunting knife by far, ergonomically. I was super skeptical of the handle when I first ordered, but it works like a champ in the field.

    My gear/pack layout from base layers to binos

    I did; they have a new series titled “wool fleece” as well that may be interesting. No details.

    My gear/pack layout from base layers to binos

    Winner for me, I prefer a higher collar and love 1/4 or 1/2 zips. Wouldn't consider this piece if talking lightweight anyways. Assuming it still has the elbow patches, I will probably pick the new one up for Lever-Action and Recurve hunts. Sand color works for where I hunt, but wish they were...

    My gear/pack layout from base layers to binos

    FYI for those looking to pick up an Atlantic Rancher Ranger Sweater -- they just announced their high-neck 1/4 zip variant, available in May.

    Vivo Tracker Alternatives

    Winter storm yardwork clean up for the most part, mine didn't arrive before our incredibly short hunting seasons ended here in WA. Active, 30's and 40's, paired with Farm-To-Feet Damascus sock.

    Vivo forest tracker esc durability

    I like to wear an Injinji style thing liner sock, with my regular thicker cushioned hiking sock over the top and find that's sufficient for myself in all but the sharpest/pointiest rock conditions. Even then, they're more of a minor annoyance than a pain. I don't exactly hunt what I would call...

    Any wool pant recommendations?

    Much appreciated, it will pair nicely with my black High-E hoodie -- because fashion is important in the field!

    Any wool pant recommendations?

    Wow, that Grey colorway looks way darker than I was anticipating from their website. Is the picture deceiving or are the Cotton/Poly panels just straight black? I'm going to order a pair of the Woolshell's and have the same modifications done -- did you guys ask for any particular type of...

    Vivo forest tracker esc durability

    For anyone that comes across this, DO NOT BUY YOUR VIVO'S THROUGH AMAZON! I made that mistake on my first two pairs years ago and had issues, Amazon worked with me on one pair, but the other was a waste of a couple hundred bucks. Fell apart in a matter of weeks. My family members made that...

    Educate me on Sealskinz socks

    I just wear my standard Injinji liner sock with my ShowersPass socks. No idea if that's correct or not but seems to get the job done.

    Best Socks for Sweaty Feet

    Man all the people that love Darn Tough cannot have sweaty feet, those are the worst socks I have ever owned as a very sweaty foot guy. Always baffles me to see them the most recommended sock by far. Start with a liner, pair with your favorite sock -- world of difference. Liners: Injinji or...

    Vivo Tracker Alternatives

    That's a bummer, they are definitely worth picking up. Between the ESC's and the WSG2's I don't really have any need for my other hunting boots. I'm traveling for work right now and this site came up as having them in stock from a Google search. Don't know anything about this company and...

    Vivo Tracker Alternatives

    I tried a few different styles of Xero and they all started falling apart within a year, whereas I've yet to wear-out a Vivo product in ~5 years. Just my two cents between the brands.

    Vivo Tracker Alternatives

    Why not just get the new, waterproof, winterized version of the Tracker? Here in the PNW, our entire camp rocks the ESC's up until Fall/Winter wetness begins. We tested these Winter SG 2's (WSG2) this year and they're the sh*t, waterproof, warmer, etc. Before they released the new WSG2's, I...

    My gear/pack layout from base layers to binos

    May be hope, they've got a Maintenance notice posted on the site now. Guess I'll wait and see how things shake out while researching alternatives.

    Forloh BTM Pant review forthcoming

    Bought a pair of BTM Pro Pants and have beaten the absolute sh*t out of them in the PNW coastal jungle. New favorite, they fit me way better than Fjallraven Keb or Vidda Pro ever did and feel as or more premium.

    My gear/pack layout from base layers to binos

    @Formidilosus With Red Kettle seemingly ceasing production and sales of their Ventile line, do you have any backup options? I saw this release from Patagonia the other day: https://www.patagonia.com/product/lightweight-waxed-cotton-jacket/26835.html?dwvar_26835_color=WNGY Seems interesting...
