    Saddle versus Millenium M7

    I have the same issue. I just deal with it. I wear a size 13 and my boot is as wide as the platform. I’ve been trying to figure out how to add a foot rest without adding a bunch of weight

    Getting away from higher end clothes.

    I still have some name brand stuff. Mostly just first lite wool items. 2 grid fleece hoodies. The Klamath. Other than that. I got some under armour down and a kuiu kenai jacket. I have found that the REI activator pants are really nice. Quiet and tough. Pretty wind resistant and repels water...

    Comfy shoes

    I don’t work as a nurse but do spend multiple days 12-14 hours at my daughters dance competitions on concrete floors all day and I have no issues with the HOKA. My mom has had two knee replacements and 2 hip replacements and she wears hoka too.

    Getting away from higher end clothes.

    Well fellows. Been putting some miles on the ATG pants. Been great. Haven’t missed the hip vents. They Dry fast and the stretch is great. I have figured out. The ones you get at Walmart are a bit thinner and have a pair of them and those things are thin and have been great scouting in the 80s here.

    Which company is making the best zip off base layer bottoms?

    First lite is 95% merino and I’m a believer in them. I use the kiln and furnace. Of course. I use as my base layer I guess you would say. Knee length wick boxers and over the calf merino wool socks. This year mostly the first lite piston compression socks.

    First Lite new whitetail system

    I’ve kept up with the jones for years. These companies are just getting out of hand with pricing. I’ll give them this. Their wool base layers are hands down and I will always use them. I’ll take my down jacket and wind shirt any day over a 500 dollar jacket. Just seems over kill and I had the...

    HOKA Failure ~ Terrible/Worse Customer Service Experience

    I love my hokas. Never had to deal with customer service. I hate you had a bad customer service experience. They make my ankle pain non existent. Im actually going tomorrow to pick up the Kaha 2 gtx. I do agree with above. I know it’s probably a stupid question but why were you just leaving them...

    I had the 2xl I’m 6’2” 230 built like a silverback gorilla. 36” waist. 36” inseam. The kit link hand warmer is pretty nice too.

    FL Solitude or Kuiu Proximity?

    I can tell you from having both. They are neither one good to walk any distance in. Also the proximity will let the wind through and freeze you out. The solitude is a great set I’ve wore down in single digits with appropriate layers. The windproof membrane makes a huge difference. Both are...

    Summertime Scouting - Leave it alone?

    I agree. I did learn a hard lesson this year. Hunting public land I think they get used to a fair amount of scent. I thought we had stink an area up on a Friday. Decided to give it a rest on Saturday. Checked the camera getting into the stand Monday. Nice 8 point at 2:23 that Saturday afternoon...
