High-end gear in the field

[bigbaddad71]

If you never get farther from the truck than a couple miles of live out of a pack for 10 days or more, Technical gear is probably not necessary for your hunt.. Live out of your pack, 15 miles or more from the truck for 10 days or so, thech gear is a real advantage.. Get soaked through to the bone, on the mountain top, you'll be glad for good gear and not Wranglers and plaid... Can it/has it been done.. Sure.. But if I can have good gear that helps me stay out on a hunt that I've invested considerable time and effort into(I'm a DIY guy) I'm going to have it.. I'm no fanboy(I look like I rolled out of a mountain hunting lost and found) but good gear is really helpful in extending a tough hunt..

I have recently bought some Kuiu to try out. I am typically wearing whatever I peice together as long as I am comfortable and warm.

Same, same.

When I started backpack hunting, it was in cabelas cotton camo and a big kelty external frame. Lots of good memories and some mule deer and black tail killed...but also a lot of discomfort. I’m a huge Kuiu fanboy now after buying a pair of tiburon pants back when they first opened. I try to get a few new pieces of gear every year for bday and Xmas gifts. I’m fully decked out at this point and couldn’t be happier. I’ve tried various mountaineering brands in the past but they have all disappointed in some way or another. I’m brand loyal because I know it works and I know what to expect with Kuiu. I honestly cannot remember the last time I was uncomfortable on a hunt because of a clothing issue...so for me it’s been worth the (gradual) investment of money into something that keeps me comfortable and on the mountain longer. To each their own.
