    ISO Best Lightweight Comfortable Sleeping Pad for the Backpack Hunter

    I laid down on a neoloft wide pad in our local gear shop. Unbelievable. The face fabric is a stretch woven type and the shape is a “U” to kinda center you. It’s certainly a lot heavier than my neo air nxt, which while comfy, is small.

    Late 2025 - state of late season outer layers

    Awesome info, thanks for posting. Interested to hear more on the dew point pro stuff for sure. Can you layer under the pants at all or are they cut like a normal rain pant?

    Is 500 yards a long shot?

    In wind, 400 is where I have started to notice differences. Have made mistakes at 300. “Far” depends on time to get a shot off as well. 500 is far(ish) in my book.

    Lightweight steel target system for packing in the mountains

    Has been considering asking this same question. Saw this come up a few times looking around: https://www.targethangingsolutions.com/product-page/limited-run-mobile-ar500-target-stand

    Scope Bumper Scope caps

    So for anyone else considering, I got these for a gen 2 3-15 Swfa…..might have to exchange the ocular, the 44 long is a little loose, their recommended objective fits nice and tight. The make a 43.5mm long, not sure if that would actually fit better….

    Wind shirt vs softshell

    Have used both - my experience and opinion has narrowed how I use them over time. They kind of get applied the same way but a wind shirt/softSHELL (read, not lined) is for higher aerobic or output work while the fleece lined/windproof (read, insulated) is for more start/stop, variable type...

    Crispi insoles

    I have been really happy with these: superfeet hike cushion. Tried greens, Soles, Oboz - these have worked best for me...

    Characters of RokSlide

    28 pages of this in one sitting has been a riot. I can’t believe I never read this. I’m just glad I didn’t see it at work, it’s just hard to look away 🤣

    Need an new Elk Gun!

    Carry on being blown away. 1. You don’t get to just call people names because you don’t agree. You’ve been on here - so I take it you can follow the rules. Or don’t and get banned. I’d edit your post. 2. When people list specific values it’s because they are using a ballistic...

    My gear/pack layout from base layers to binos

    I have this same issue with the harness at times (airframe) and that pinching thing the back does is hard to manage - I think because that laminate cordura is so stiff. The airframe is really comfortable with weight but I almost have to bias the adjustment to lower the harness yoke below the...

    Insulated windproof jacket

    Warm while stationary in teens = 8oz+ of down for me. Sitka hyperdown is a syn/down blend, larger cut, nice fabric, might be a good one to consider. Kuiu super down pro, etc in the 5oz range are tough as sitting puffies in teens, for me. Not enough. Newer FL cuts have been a lot better...

    New Durston X-Dome for Alaska hunts??

    @cornfedkiller I’ve got same pack and do the same thing, and agree with all the pole material points above. I like the poles separate, allows me to pack the tent in a squared dcf bag that’s larger than tent, so it’s flexible to smash into my pack. I’ve seen Dan say similar comments on the...

    Firstlite Northrange vs Whitecould

    You’d pick the north range if you want a synthetic fill. That’s about it. Down/whitecloud is going to be warmer, lighter, more packable, less durable, and the fit looks to be a tad larger for layering. The whitecloud is very much a static piece. The north range you could move in cold to...

    If you had $1500 to spend on a new western hunting setup, what would it be?

    I would consider something that’s easy to upgrade or tweak, whether that’s R700 platform/footprints or Tikka. The Eurooptic sauer and tikka deals are pretty nuts, easy to get a good platform for <$700. I’ve come to enjoy the Tikka - but that’s because it is customized a good deal, especially...

    6.5 CM vs 6 CM within 800 yds. Am I missing something?

    I went from a 6.5# scoped 6.5CM to 8# (suppressed, scoped) 6CM. Already shooting much, much better with the smaller gun, but in equal weight setups I don’t think I’d be running to change the 6.5 unless you were ready to switch, kinda like others have said here. I do like shooting the 6CM a ton...

    Gear fails of 2025

    I’ve had really good luck with thermarest warranty on pads, worth a shot for sure with sea to summit. I’m on my third from an original xlite purchase.
