I own the Hood as well and really like the dressing of the separate hood and collar. The longer tail is nice too. I don't end up using it a ton these days mostly because I don't care for the fit through the torso. I'm 6'1" 180lbs and the size large fits everywhere else but is really baggy around the middle for me. I could probably cut out 6-8" of fabric for a better fit for me. I realize not everyone is shaped the same so if the fit works for you it's a solid piece. That said, the material itself isn't some magical fleece, so if you get it, do it for the features, not the material. Lots of cheaper fleece out there.

with the time i should have bought more microtex pants from cabelas as i cannot wear them out and they are not sitka or kuiu hypes but they are great tools for the money.

My wife and I recently made a climashield apex quilt out of 7.5 oz insulation. It was harder that I expected, but I spent about $75 total and am very happy with the result.

My Vaseline cotton balls are stored in these old timey film canisters. They use to hold rolls of film for ancient cameras. You usually had to wait months to see what was on the film, usually at least two major holidays and several birthdays, Back when you couldn't make a call or check your email with your camera. Back when a memory card was a 3x5 piece of paper with notes written on it, possibly in cursive which was another ancient form of written communication. ;)
And strange little cubes... could be inserted into sockets on that 110 film slim camera... which burst out light like the Sun! Probably a Magnesium Flash? Bright-White kinda spectrum to it.

5 days it's taken me to get thru this thread. My wife has told me I'm a dumb@$$ for spending so much time reading and going though all this. But the money I'm "Saving" just really made the list longer and she's not to impressed with me lol. First post here too. Man yall got a great thing going here! Love it!

I really enjoy the Wrangler Outdoor stretch pants. They use to be cheaper but are still around $26. I use them nearly all season long, they're perfect for summer scouting, and early archery seasons. I run them with a merino bottom well into October and stay plenty warm. They are lightweight, dry fast, and move well with your body
