Confession of a alaska master guide

[Kevin Dill]

I just returned from Alaska, and we were in about 10 different towns over that trip. I saw so much KUIU and Sitka clothing it was amazing. People were wearing it to dinner, grocery shopping....everywhere. It was almost embarrassing, and I'll admit I go out of my way to not wear any of it in town. It's almost chic....lol.

I hear the gaiters are tough, but I suspect someone will want to toss you off a cliff to test and verify that.

Kodiak in November is awe full. You have to call guys names to find them. Everyone is dressed exactly the same. Never seen so much Kuiu in one place in all my life.

If they thought the cult members who drank the kool aid would buy it....yes. They would build a thong.

At some point one of these hunting clothes makers is just going to throw their own label on a can of beer........because guys will buy it.

Don't worry..kuiu is on top of that already.

I just threw up a little. In my mouth.

Kuiu label aside, It’s probably one of the best DIPA I’ve ever had! If Anchorage brewing had any cans left I’d buy another couple 4packs. Stuff is tasty

My gaiters arrived today. They are still in the package. I feel as though once I open the bag I’ve stepped into a new realm and I’m not sure I’m ready for this.

There is no coming back from the dark side

 

[BRWNBR]

Is the dark side worth the shame?

 

[adventure907]

Just in case you want to save yourself, Outdoor Research makes some nice gaiters....lol

It's kinda like leaving your wife at home with all the kids to go hunting. You feel guilty but you do it anyway. After awhile the guilt goes away. Then you are officially hooked and there is no going back.

 

[BRWNBR]

I don’t go hunting, I go to work. Maybe it’s different? Lol
I’ll wrote OR on these gaiters with my sharpie....then I’ll be able to live with myself.

I'm curious if your Sitka pants don't burst into flames where they come into contact with the Kuiu gaiters.

Sitka ascent pants melt. And drip napalm
Ask me how I know.....

 

[BRWNBR]

Wow. Way to get me pumped up for Sheep season. Geez your a downer.

KUIU is the new Nickleback. It’s now become cool to hate them.

I’m just waiting for your first hunt report after wearing them. No more pic heavy one liners, it’ll be filled with all sorts of philosfer turned hunter inspirational quotes on why you’re a hunter. No more smoked salmon spread for hunters, it won’t be paleo enough. No more Bluetooth speakers bumping cause it takes away from the nature experience.

It’ll be a sad day Jake.

I'm pretty sure we're all "hunters", because we like to kill animals. I mean let's face it, if it wasn't about the killing we'd all pack cameras and only use weapons for personal defense.

now you tell me.......there is none around Atlanta. Should I unpack my sheep pack (not Kuiu)? I could throw in some Arcteryx? Is my mullet gonna be ok......don't tell me that's outta style!

Very good

Reading a story on an Alaskan Float hunt for Moose and so the thread grabbed me.

Just wear them inside out.


PS for those not in the know. What is the issue with Kuiu? I here it every now and then but have never tracked down the issue.
Please don't hate me for my ignorance.
