    Gear organization ideas.

    My system seems to expand every year. It's a system of totes and bins like every one else. But I can never seem to keep it as organized as I like though. Once I get it working I get more gear and makes for more/different sized totes. It feels like neverending chaos and my wife makes fun of me...

    Merino Wool

    I also use and like meriwool although agree it's not cheap compared to other materials. I get merino wool socks from Costco that are good enough, not great though. Also agree with 32 degrees on the puffy outer layer. Got a puffy jacket from them for me and my son and they are pretty nice, I...

    Single trekking pole

    I carry two but have never actually used both. As others have said, nice to have if ever needed and not much weight to it.

    Who wears rubber gloves to clean game ?

    I keep some in my kill kit mainly to try and keep a little cleaner and it help to hold my knife also. The knife I use can get a little slick with all the blood. Just helps a bit.

    Double Ladder Stand

    How to Add Weight to Your Pack?

    I use individual bags filled with sand (~10#) and put them in a large trash bag, sometimes on the load shelf and sometimes in the pack. Just depends on the day to change the load up a bit. I'll usually stuff something light in the bottom of the bag to keep the weight high.

    How do you guys keep your Knees strong and healthy?

    I take some supplements as others have mentioned but BW knees over toes exercises along with proper stretching and some yoga makes a world of difference. I lift decently heavy on back squats, lunges, etc and if I don't do a dynamic prep with knee of toes exercises before getting into some of...

    Who dead hangs regularly?

    Yep, I do it for a couple 4sec-1min warmup sessions usually 3 times a week. I have a torn labrum from years of baseball/softball and if I stop for several weeks, I start feeling the issue in my shoulder again.

    EXO K3 4800 for mountain and saddle hunting?

    I was wondering the same. If you strapped sticks to the outside, was it easy to keep them strapped tight to keep from shifting with a lightly loaded pack?

    Wet tarp/tent in backpack.

    I agree with strapping it to the outside when wet. I'll using put it in a breathable mech pouch and strap it tight to the outside back or bottom.
