    Pinnacle Foods mini review

    Ive been eating both Peak and Pinnacle for years and Pinnacle meals are always good and (in my humble opinion) are far superior to Peak (specifically the taste of the meals).

    Backpacking belts to hold up your trousers

    Another vote for the arcade belts! Tried multiple belts including the marsupial and didnt like them. Im 6' 200 athletic build and I had issues with rubbing. Arcade belt is perfect. I did just pick up a pair of first lite catalyst foundry pants that come with suspenders so Im excited to give...

    camper shell, truck camper or camper shell with clamshell tent

    Huge fan of the camper shell. Definitely not going to be as comfortable as a dedicated camper but depending on your use the shell is more versatile (can throw things in your truck bed when you arent sleeping in it, etc). Cant tell you how many times Ive been glad to have the shell because I was...

    Backpack Training

    Diet and exercise. Dont skip leg day! Cardio is an assault bike, rowing machine and running outside (a combination of all 3) Ive found that running outside is the best but its hard on your knees after awhile so switch it up to rowing and the assault bike. I only do cardio 3x a week, that coupled...

    Input on Sitka jacket/hoody combo

    Another vote for jetstream. They make a jetstream vest you can use to add to your layering system as well. I know some people dont waste a layer on a vest but I dont like my arms feeling tight with a bunch of layers on it and I run hot so not having my arms covered in so many layers helps.

    Game Bags

    Caribou Gear Wapiti. Just make sure you throw them in the washing machine when your wife is out.

    Rain Gear

    Following...recently picked up the dew point system from Sitka based on a lot of good reviews. Disappointing to hear it didn't perform well in a situation you really needed it.

    Early season elk hunt dates vs full moon

    Hunted the rut during a full moon and it didn’t seem to affect them at all. Got into plenty of elk.

    Farting in the Woods

    Sorry should’ve added this. Was on an elk hunt last year and one of my buddies had the hot dog farts…he was pootin up and down the mountain and we still got into plenty of elk. We didn’t get one until a few days later but that wasn’t because of his farting.

    Farting in the Woods

    If they can smell your fart they can definitely smell you so you’re hosed anyways. Let a rip!

    Do you skip your underwear while hunting?

    Unless that Merino is spandex tight I need a little more support. I run a pair of under armor compression shorts (they arent actual shorts, think synethic briefs that are skin tight) and put base layers over the top. On warmer hunts you can run with just the compression shorts and your hunting...

    Looking for 600 yard deer/elk rifle. Recommendations?

    +1 for the 30-06 and 180 accubond. Check out Bergara they have a 24” 1:10 twist if that’s what you’re looking for.

    Stone glacier vs kuiu pack for tall individuals

    I know you said Kuiu or SG but have you considered mystery ranch? Had mine for a few years now and have no complaints. Packed a ton of weight (70+lbs) and felt comfortable.

    Ways to holster your side arm to bag or self during elk hunt

    Gunfighters inc kenai chest harness. Fits behind a bino harness and is so comfortable you wont notice youre wearing it. Its adjustable so you can change where you draw from, you dont have to worry about the straps from your bino harness and pack getting in the way. They actually posted a video...

    Affordable rangefinders that work out to 1000 yards

    I have the vortex crossfire hd and Im happy with it. 200$ max range of 1400 yds. Read the fine print though because it says max range for something like a deer is ~700 yds.

    Bino Harnesses

    +1 for the Marsupial enclosed harness. The modular system from marsupial is awesome, they have numerous pouches for a ton of different configurations. From my research, and personal use, the magnet doesnt affect iphones. I read somewhere that it affects andriods (cant verify this because I dont...
