Not sure of the issues with "all" Danner boots listed above. I've had some East Ridge insulated boots and fairly enjoyed them; they're made in the states, not sure if that has something to do with it.
My CO had Pronghorns and thought they were "awesome" and complained of the leaking. I didn't have the heart to tell him they were the bottom-shelf entry-level boots...man he wore them everywhere though.
The ATV comment got me thinking. I have an ATV, love it, but don't find it super useful to effective western hunting. I find I am tempted to drive it everywhere, thus not seeing anything. I also find I am prone to "why walk there? I can drive the ATV there" type of thinking. Thus enters my quest to hunt roadless areas. The ATV will not be getting sold though...it earns it's keep in other areas.
I had a Kuiu Icon frame and bags. Decently comfortable, way too squeaky, and generally unimpressive.
ILBE. I tried one out (training loads) of 80-100lbs and could not keep it adjusted correctly. The load lifters, belt, straps, etc. kept slipping.
I have some 8x42 Bushnells that are OK but will be upgraded. I got a headache after a day or two of using them.
French press coffee filter (I think it's a Jetboil) for MSR Windburner. Yeah, it works great, but is there a better way to make coffee without making such a huge mess in the stove cup?
InReach. Yes, the communication is great. However, the app leaves something to be desired, esp. if running it in bluetooth mode (maybe this was fixed this year?). I actually lost the first one of these I owned on the mountain and thought it better to leave it there than try to look for it.
