Anybody ever regretted using Iodine tablets for water purification?

I regretted the use of iodine tabs on one hunt. I got bad diarrhea for 12-18 hours in the field. It just irritated my gut. I now use a 1 litter BeFree Katayne bottle to purify my water. I’ve used it for years and have not had any issues. Of note, I’ve only had to purify mountain spring or...

Favorite Boot?

My favorite hunting boot is the Crispi Briksdal Non-insulated. I’m on my second pair. I’ve also had good results with Kenetrek Mountain Hunters and Kenetrek Mountain Extremes for winter hunting.

Favorite Boot?

Results vary depending on your feet but the Salewa Rapache boots did not work for me. They absolutely wrecked my heels on a 10 day sheep hunt. They also didn’t hold up well to the shale rock.

Best tent for Alaska sheep hunt

I’ve also used the Kuiu Storm Star 2 person tent. It held up for 2 sheep season but a wind storm sheared one of the poles.
