Gear hits and misses

[SWOHTR]

Hit: Salomon Quest Forces 4D hikers. Great comfort and price point. Only con is that they're not recraftable, but looking at their construction from the heel up I don't think you'd ever want them to be.

Another hit: Duluth Flexpedition pants. Good price point and they're not camo.

Miss: Kifaru gun bearer. It just doesn't hold the rifle well enough, IMO...

Hits:
Suppressor- I never want to hunt without one from now on
TJ Schwarz Magnacut knife- could still shave after taking apart an elk

Misses:
Not a big miss, but my DIY tac table and bag off a tripod. Just kept going back to prone off the trusty harris and a makeshift rear bag.

 

[Osborn Outdoors]

Hits: Eberlestock X2, OOAL Shikar sticks, zip off merino base layers

Hit: my Benchmade meatcrafter knife my kid bought me for xmas. we are a few animals in and the thing is still super sharp and I love the size for butchering.

Miss: My lowa boots. they were a couple years old but i only wore them to hunt in and during bad weather. So not a lot of usage. Maybe 20 times. Last year one boot leaked terribly. Lowa said too bad so sad. My new Crispi's worked awesome, so I guess that is another Hit!

StormLoft Down Topquilt from Outdoor Vitals.

Miss:
Universal Gun Bearer. Just didn't enjoy it this year on a WY backpacking deer hunt. Had used it before on some hunts and thought it was good but this year just kind of bothered me. Will be looking at the Slik Sling next.
