    First Lite vs Kuiu Rain Gear

    My first lite jacket was great but the pants didn't keep moisture out after several seasons. I switched to kryptek rain pants and haven't had an issue. Definetly test out whatever gear you get before your hunting trip.

    Kifaru Scabbard

    @Bender could we get some videos with the 44 mag attached to the scabbard? Or videos of a fully loaded pack with the scabbard. I currently have a mountain rambler and use it specifically for the scabbard option but like the 44 mag layout way better. I'm also skeptical about the 4.5# of extra...

    Wedding ring tattoo

    The wife and I got tattoos on our ring fingers because we work in the trades and don't wear rings. The tattoos are just on top of the first knuckle because the wrap around tattoo will wear down due to rough hands and work.

    Mountain Ops Update?

    I've used mt ops products for about 7 or 8 years. I first heard about it during a very early bowmen podcast. I used the vanilla ammo and strawberry banana yeti as my morning shake and loved it. I also use enduro and ignite and find the flavor better than jocko fuel or wilderness athlete...

    Gallon freezer bags. Cheap, light, semi durable, keeps stuff dry, you can see what's inside, and doubles as a meat bag when I catch a grouse. You can get ones with zippers if you wanna be fancy.

    Winter house heat setting?

    Another hvac guy, there is no "correct" temp. Set it at whatever temp is comfortable for you. You won't notice a difference between a setting of 68 or 69 degrees. I always recommend a maximum 3 degree difference between schedules. Example: 66 at night and 69 during the day. Smart thermostats...

    Barriers for new hunters? (Poll)

    I'd say lack of knowledge overall. There are less people willing and able to pass knowledge down the line. The onset of social media and forums should make it easier to share information and promote hunting in a positive way but it usually turns into arguments and belittling each other.
