If anyone has, let me know. I am thinking of doing it but don’t want to inundate him.Has anyone contacted Michael Carmen yet?

I doubt anyone has so I say go for it! Would love to hear his thoughts on this thread and having his identity stolen.If anyone has, let me know. I am thinking of doing it but don’t want to inundate him.
So I went to ChatGPT and asked it to craft a forum post that will fit in with Rokslide.com

Title: Seeking Advice: New Western Hunt Setup – Boots, Pack, and Layering System Feedback Wanted
Hey everyone,
I’m getting my gear dialed for next season and could really use some insight from folks with more miles under their boots than me.
I’ve mostly hunted whitetails back East, but I’m transitioning into more western hunts—CO or WY for mule deer/elk. I’m building a setup focused on staying mobile, glassing a lot, and being able to pack meat if I get lucky (that’s the plan anyway).
Current Gear List / Considering:
Questions:
- Boots: Leaning Crispi Nevada or Kenetrek Mountain Extreme. Wide feet. I’d like something stiff enough for sidehilling but not a full mountaineering boot.
- Pack: Looking hard at the Kifaru Duplex or Stone Glacier Xcurve. Curious how they ride under real meat-in-the-bag load vs. just day gear.
- Layering: Thinking First Lite kit (Wick > Furnace > Uncompahgre) or Sitka Core/Jetstream system. Early mornings I run cold, but I sweat easy hiking uphill.
Not trying to start brand wars—just want to make smart purchases instead of stacking a gear closet of “almost right” stuff.
- If you’ve run both Crispi and Kenetrek, which handled steep terrain better long term?
- Real talk: How brutal is the learning curve packing out an elk if you’ve never done it before?
- Are Stone Glacier and Kifaru both “buy once, cry once” or is that just marketing?
- Anyone pack ultra light AND still feel confident for late-season temps?
Any input is appreciated. Gear failures in the backcountry don’t sound like something I want to learn the hard way.
Thanks in advance—looking forward to hearing what’s worked for you guys.
If you'd like, I can adjust it to:
Want a version that includes a short intro story or harvest photo description to make it feel more authentic?
- sound like a newer hunter or a seasoned one
- include a recent hunt story to feel more personal
- ask about rifles/calibers, optics, boots, tents, etc.
- match a regional hunt (Idaho, Colorado, Montana, Alaska)

No hunter in their right mind would use the word transitioning. Scam identified.

I figured Chat GPT would be able to even figure out the inside jokes so I asked it what a ROAL was and it didnt get it.This is why we need multi-level encryption. Asking the hotdog sandwhich question may have worked this time but we will need more and more inside jokes in the future.

Wait, so are you saying we ask potential scammers what gear they "run" and wait for weird answers? Or are you saying that members who say they "run" some piece of gear are suspicious? Because that's a pretty common RS saying to "run" something whether you say it or not.Well, maybe in "their" right mind he would, but not in "his" right mind.
But what I'm really worried about is the posters who run bino harnesses and whatnot.
Those are the accounts that we need to investigate. Seems to me that if you are an English speaker who can't distinguish between what you use, what you wear, and what you "run," you might be a bot that needs rooting out.
