    The quest for the right mid weight pants

    A little late to the party but I like the Simms softshell pants. They are heavier than the sitka timberlines, have more room in the thighs, and are well made. https://www.simmsfishing.com/collections/mens-fishing-shorts-pants/products/ms-rogue-pant

    Down Pants Under Bibs - Anyone Tried It?

    I do this with my Stratus bibs. I used to use Plythal Prima Heat Pants and they worked great, for the price I don't think they can be beat. That said, I switched to the Sitka Equinox Midi pants and prefer them because they're just so damn comfortable because they flex\stretch. They could...

    Wisconsin (Midwest) Whitetail Lease cost

    I leased some property in SE MI near Ann Arbor for $25/Acre about 15 years ago via a friend of a friend. After a couple years and some decent bucks I decided it wasn't worth it. They leased it shortly afterwards for $40/acre. I enjoy hunting but I'd rather spend my $$$ on some of my other...

    Thanks for all the feedback! I've decided to bite the bullet and get the 10" the uninsulated Hoffman Hunters.

    Arctic Shield Boot?

    I'm coming to the same conclusion - that my feet aren't staying warm because the rubber boots are holding the sweat in.. I use a boot dryer after each hunt and they are warm at the beginning of the next hunt, but my feet eventually get cold now that temps are below freezing. I will be adding a...

    Arctic Shield Boot?

    Thanks for all the responses! I don't need to wear rubber boots to get into where I am going, I'm just trying to minimize my scent as much as possible because there is no good way for me to access the property other than the easement (neighbors won't give me permission to access via their...

    Arctic Shield Boot?

    So I am an Arctic Shield boot cover convert for my stand hunting. I used to use 1600g Alpha Burly rubber boots that were just way too heavy/bulky/cumbersome for hiking any distance or using sticks, and my feet still got cold. I'm currently using 800G Muck boots with the covers and my feet stay...

    ALERT Barnes Vor-TX 308 Win 168 GR TTSX BT multiple misfires, lot 8991-1 021 8803

    I had the same experience with a box of their 150 gr TTSX. I contacted customer support and they sent me a pre-paid label to send them the box of unfired rounds and the rounds that didn't ignite. After a week or so they got back to me saying they were to spec and to check my firing pin, they...

    Mid Layer Pants for Stands

    I really like the Sitka Midi pants as a mid layer under my bibs - I put them on under my Nomad Harvester bibs, which block the wind, and I was fine in ~20 degree temps and wind here in MI the other weekend. Cold feet: I used to get cold feet until I did two things: 1. I got a pair of boots...

    Any Watch Nerds to point me?

    I really like my Luminox atacama 1925. I know it isn't exactly what you're looking for but it is large (45 mm) and very easy to read in the dark because of the tritium tubes on the hours and hands. I replaced the leather strap with a black silicone strap to make it my "beater" outdoor watch...

    Mid Season Whitetail Jacket

    I really like my Nomad Harvester bibs and jacket. I find them to be warmer than my Sitka Stratus bibs and jacket for later in the season, and while they may be missing some of the Stratus features - such as the full length leg zippers on the bibs or the lack of two chest pockets on the jacket...

    Sitka stratus bibs and equinox midi vs fanatic bibs

    I also get cold rather easy - the older I get the less cold tolerant I've become. I run the stratus bibs and jacket until it gets really cold by layering accordingly. I've been comfortable down to ~28 degrees (per truck thermo) using heavy weight core base layer, a North Face Thermoball...
