Really enjoyed this episode Jordan. Very thorough, it really gives a good perspective on all the gear out there and what a person might use/ depend on out in the bush.
Thanks
Baby wipes ( or something similar) are a must. It seems that most guys pack way more than they need, depending on what type of hunt you're doing ( base camp, bivy, day hunt from the truck) it will really dictate what you need to bring.
Hey all, wondering if a fella can use a prime lens when using a DSLR to spotter? I know with my phone I zoom a bit, but not sure when it comes to the camera.
Also, any recommendations on brand?(phone skope,etc)
Something to think about... I'd bring a boot dryer with you. Even the best boots on the planet won't keep you warm if you don't dry them out. If you're sitting, I highly recommend the full foot "toe warmers". They seem to help alot more than just the toe warmers.
Just a quick tip I wanted to share, not sure how many guys/gals do this, but it sure helps. When trying to take out the tenderloins using the gutless method, if you make a 3-6" cut along the belly, it allows some of the guts to come out. This allows you to easily reach in and cut the loins out...
I learned this from an old timer a few years ago. You can cut out the tongue of the animal and use it to pick hair off the meat. I haven't tried it with deer but it works great with moose elk and beef
I'm definitely not saying there aren't guys that put a ton of miles on during a hunt, I've guided in places where it is literally a 3day ride in, hunt/hike your guts out for 12-14 days and then come out. I think though, that there are a lot of guys that think they need to exaggerate in order to...
I've really been noticing the last couple years that some folks are claiming some,almost superhuman, distances covered during their hunt. From 45km pack outs ( on foot) to 160 miles covered( also on foot) in a week, to unbelievable amounts of vertical miles hiked. Has anyone else noticed this...
