The forloh allclima soft shell jacket saved my butt this archery elk season. Every day I had weather. It’s bomb proof over anything Sitka I own. But it is heavy and a bit noisy.

With a MT sheep tag in my pocket this year I upgraded some things.. Here are a few that I liked.

Aziak Backcountry Light Tripod with Tricer LP panhead.. loved this setup for everything from Swaro EL 10x42s to 65mm spotter to 95 mm Swaro BTX! Super light setup. (I think @26 oz. total) Only downside to me is it’s just short for standing to glass.

Upgraded from my Vortex Vipers to Swaro ELs. Yes I know they aren’t NLs but still a massive upgrade, especially for the price. Got them very lightly used from an authorized dealer for $1500. Biggest complaint for me was how much bigger they are than the Vipers- a good inch ‘longer’… (10x42 in both)

Hatch Bipod was great. I haven’t tried a lot of different ones but coming from a cheap Caldwell this thing is way better!

Durston X-dome 1 person tent. Amazing sturdy little shelter for 34oz. Tons of headroom- at 6'2" i was tired of sleeping in little coffins

1. Maven RS 1.2 — a largely unknown scope to users on this site. Great clarity, idiot proof reticle, has held zero and performed without issue after bouncing around the truck and all over the mountain.
