    Klymit static v lux leaking

    Klymit has been fantastic with warranty for me. Might want to give them a call. I had one that started leaking. I sent them a photo of the leak and they sent me a new pad. Very easy to work with. Thanks. -Rufus

    Looking for a new bow setup

    I’ve been hunting with the same bow for a very long time. It’s probably time to retire it. I started looking at the new bows and found out really fast that I have been out of the game for a long time. I hunt both out of tree stands and also on the ground. Mostly for whitetails...

    Smallest footprint, stand up tent?

    Looking for a different tent. I currently have a small teepee style tent that is supposed to be a 4 person, but usually it’s just me in the tent. The footprint is pretty small so I can fit it into some pretty tight spaces. Have used it for several years and like it pretty well...

    three day trip- under 30 lbs with food and water :)

    Hey Mtwarden. Always learning from your posts. Thanks for taking the time. Would like to hear more about your bivy setup. I had a military goretex bivy given to me. It’s heavy and not really what I want to end on, but it is allowing me to learn more about the bivy process. What...

    Sleep system like big agnes lone ranger?

    Several of Big Agnes bags have the pad sleeve or pad attachment thing. I have one of their older bags and it works great. Check out their website for several options. Thanks. -Rufus

    Waterfowl loads for a 20 gauge SX4

    Love shooting a 20. Had excellent results on pheasants, ducks and sharp tails with either Steel 2’s or 3’s going 1500 to 1550fps. Kent fast steel or Winchester xperts were what I used the most. Also Fiocchi. With that said, my all time favorite was the Kent impact (tungsten matrix)...

    Help a Newb with some tips and tactics for kids please

    The next two blinds (looking north) also look promising as they look like they have natural pinch points (if I’m seeing things correctly). The second one from the bottom looks to me to be the better of those. Your statement about just going with what you have and hunting as often as...

    Help a Newb with some tips and tactics for kids please

    I actually hunt a similar setup. I’m in eastern South Dakota. How deep is the river that runs through the area? I have a river that is mostly 2 to 4 feet deep. Some holes that are deeper. On the property that I hunt, there is a shallow area that is approximately 12 inches deep and...

    Help a Newb with some tips and tactics for kids please

    Hi spdrman. What state are you hunting in? I’ve hunted whitetails quite a bit and the one constant is they are a fickle animal. With that said, it’s a little early for solid patterns to be established. Just like most other animals, they need food, water and a place to rest. Right...

    Old School Kifaru Bags

    That is really cool. What is the pocket on the front of the bag ? Kind of looks like it detaches and can be used on its own? Thanks. - Rufus

    FL Rugged Wool Hoody for 2nd rifle CO?

    Hello Ddog. I’ve been considering a Rugged Wool to use while sitting in a tree stand. The first Lite ad indicates that it’s more durable than their other pieces. Some times this equates to more noise. How quiet is the rugged wool? Like if you rub your sleeve against your chest...

    2300 - 3000 Cu In Pack for 1-2 day whitetail hunt

    Hi sroc112. I think 2300 to 3000 would be pretty small. Lots of factors and individual preferences, but I normally think (my thoughts only) that having about 3000 for camp is about what I need and about 2000 to 2500 is needed for a quartered whitetail. I’ve done it with smaller, but it...

    New bag looks a lot like the old Mountain Warrior, which was a great bag.
