    Late Season Tent Upgrade

    No regrets, the tent is awesome. The biggest thing I wish Peax would come out with is a half insert similar to the Argali version to help with condensation if you’re somewhat close to the road.

    Late Season Tent Upgrade

    @TxLite I ended up going with the Peax Solitude. So far I’ve put 15 nights in it. 7 of the nights being with the argali stove setup. The highlight of the Solitude is the crosstrek stabilization by far which i think is the real deal. It held up really well in the 25+ winds on a prairie mule deer...

    Late Season Gloves

    Hey guys, Looking into buying a new pair of late season gloves. I tried out the Northstar Glomitt from Kuiu last year and learned I’m not a fan of the trigger mitten. I’m leaning towards a mitten with a removable liner to wear when glassing but wanted to see what other recommended! My fingers...

    VX-5HD 3-15X56 vs VX-5HD 3-15X44

    I went down this same rabbit hole a few years back and ended up with the 44 fire dot. I’ve used and abused it on hunts every year and have never had an issue with it.

    Late Season Tent Upgrade

    Sorry should have made that more specific planning 2 guys w/ the stove, 3 w/o if it comes down to it. I also saw that picture and it made me nervous making the purchase. Looked on the website and saw the dimensions are very similar to the Argali w/ more head room in the Peax so was confused on...

    This will be a 2-3 man option as I’m currently running the SO Silex for solo hunts.

    Late Season Tent Upgrade

    In the market for a new late season tent option. What’s everyone running for those cold late October-November hunts? Looking hard at the Peax Solitude vs Argali Absaroka 4P vs SO Cimmaron w/ stove. Will be used on a Montana rifle hunt this year. Really like the height and trekking pole feature...

    Late Season Sleeping Bags

    Thanks guys. Been looking at the WM bags. Seems like people say nothing but good things. Any thoughts on 0 degree vs 15 degree bags in Mid Oct-Nov?

    Late Season Sleeping Bags

    Looking for a new sleeping bag setup for late season backpacking hunts. Currently looking at 0 degree bags (SG Chilkoot + Kifaru Slick Bag). Could anyone shed any first hand experience with these bags and maybe some pros and cons you’ve found? Also do you guys prefer 0 degree vs 15 degree and...

    Backcountry Food

    Hey y’all. I have some leftover Peak Refuel meals from a last year hunt that ended early on a filled tag. I take all my meals and move them into zip lock freezer bags, take the silica gel pouch from the meal and place it in the zip lock and then remove a majority of the air so they are lighter...

    BUY ONCE CRY ONCE. ~a thread~

    Hey. I prefer the angled over the straight. I used a straight for a handful of years and after playing with an angle for awhile I prefer it. I ended up with the 85 after I talked to Korbin at Korbins archery for awhile. He really broke it down and in the end for, what I’m doing, thought the 85...

    Window Mounts

    Hey y’all, any input on the best window mount system? Currently have the VA5 head on my tripod and am looking for options that either uses the tripod head or is arca swiss compatible. Will need something that is able to support an ATX 85. Thanks for the input!

    BUY ONCE CRY ONCE. ~a thread~

    Hey guys. Looking at going in on the buy once, cry once. Looking hard at a Swarovski ATX. Does anyone see a major difference (for the price point) of the 65/85/95 spotters? 50/50 on backpacking and glassing from the road. As of now, I spend 90% of my time behind my binos finding game but need...
