I Hate ROKSLIDE!!

[HuntHarder]

Ok... Not really..

I have been a member for a short period of time, maybe 3 months, and this site has cost me almost $1000.00. I have learned of so much backcountry gear I never knew existed. I never had a need for it, until I realized it did exist.

Aron over @ Kifaru, gave me a smoking deal on a new pack, so I had to purchase that. Next I saw the accessories from Kifaru, had to get some of those too. Then the classifieds.... Got a few items off of there.

Looking at everyone's hunting success in their states, has given me some ideas on where I need to apply next year. It just keeps on going.
Thanks for providing such a valuable website.

Ha - your welcome?!?! Welcome to the club

I was in the same boat as you a couple years ago. I wish I would have seen this website before my 1st 7 day backpack hunt. Could have saved me lots of money in the long run not having to re-buy gear to replace substandard junk.

Still working on what gear works best where and how I hunt, along with replacing gear as the needs arise and funds allow. I have learned tons from this website and forum.

 

[Where's Bruce?]

Wish it had been this cheap for me, I'm in over 7K now in a year.

Welcome to the club! If you have that piece of gear known as a wife, it will only get worse.

 

[MuleyFever]

Not if you have the right wife

 

[River Rat]

With the right wife like mine it cost two times as much

With the right wife like mine it cost two times as much

Exactly! I thought it would be cool to have a wife that was up for an adventure....now I'm re-thinking that...I have to buy two of everything..and not crap gear either, have to have the best gear because as all you husbands know.."if momma aint happy, aint nobody happy"

 

[MuleyFever]

So she is either on you for spending more money on hunting or on you for not buying her new gear too, I guess the wife gets you both ways.

 

[Ironmerganser]

I know exactly what you mean. I have only been on here a couple months and I have already spent money on a pack, clothes, tent, and I have a mule deer hunt now planned for next year and an AK caribou hunt in the works for 2016. DAMN YOU ROKSLIDE!!!! ;-)

 

[Bonedalien]

it does not end either. i am pretty much set and happy now with my gear,but after riding out 2 wet as hell archery seasons in a small ul backpack tent, im saving to pull the trigger on a Kifaru Sawtooth this winter.

Everyone needs a family of tents............
and backpacks.........
and boots.......
and hats.........
and weapons......
and
and
and
and Rokslide is a big help for all that

 

[William Hanson (live2hunt)]

Rokslide cost me somewhere between $2k-$3k this year. I quit keeping exact track because it doesn't really matter I'm going to buy it no matter how much it sets me back so why keep track of depressing statistics.

I can't figure out why I need more than one high end pack? I have two, and I find myself wanting another one. Then there's shelters, who knows when I'll have enough of those.
