What gear are you replacing in 2021?

[MrSunday]

Replacing my 6.5 Creedmoor with a 7 SAUM including new optic. Boots and sleeping bag are getting upgraded as well.

 

[JohnB]

What bivy are you going to get?

Probably a Borah or similar.

 

[mtwarden]

I can't think of anything right now that needs replacing. After 40 years of hunting I've finally been pretty dialed in with my gear in recent years.

I think that's where I'm currently at; kind of sad in a way

 

[AK Troutbum]

Replaced my Arctic Oven 10 Extreme with a AO 12 w/vestibule. Can't wait to use it this fall on Kodiak!

 

[mtwarden]

Oh heck- I lied

I'm currently breaking in a pair of Crispi Thor's that will replace my La Sportiva TRK's- so far so good!

I’m going to have to try one of those tents out at some point. They look legit.

 

[WCS]

Adding a Hilleberg Anjan 2 GT to the tent collection since the girlfriend has decided to come along hunting this year. Looking like I'm going to have to spring for some new boots as well for this season.

 

[Fatcamp]

Not much.

Changed my bow mid-season last year and very happy with it.

Just bought 15x Meopta. Not getting rid of the Vanguard spotter, just do not like looking through one eye.

A big change is organizing our stuff to start spending nights away from the truck. We have everything, just need to dial it in. We have one area in particular we cannot get into and out of in a day. Excited to see what it holds.

 

[Firestone]

1.Kuiu Mountain Star. Great tent but someone stole mine. I’m thinking about getting a SO with stove.

Dude that sucks. Was it set up and some took it out of the woods?

Oh, they're definitely legit. My biggest issue with AO tents is that, they make it increasing difficult to leave base camp.

 

[Cole]

Thanks. I had a bunch of gear stolen when I was driving home from a late season cow elk hunt in Oregon. At least they didn’t take my cooler full of meat. I’ve never had a problem with other hunters stealing stuff, it’s everyone else you have to worry about.

Do you use a stove in your current AO?

That a bomb of a upgrade.

new boots. My lowa Tibet’s are worn out

new glass. Vortex in the trash or back for warranty claims, scope and binos

New rifle. Selling a few that don’t get used

new pad- winter and fall fancy one

replace some worn hunting cloths

That’s a expensive start.

 

[AK Troutbum]

Do you use a stove in your current AO?

I have a wood burner, but I've gotten to the point that I usually only take a propane heater. It's just so nice to reach over and turn it on in the mornings, without getting out of bed, plus it's a lot less hassle and much cleaner than dealing with wood.

Thanks for the intel!

 

[deerhunter628]

Im going to use my Q Fix this year and i think im going to try a stone glacier pack this year

 

[Sportsman247]

Been packing in a SO 6 man w stove but thinking about a small two man for this year as we will move camp around more to hunt different areas. Hard decision because that stove comes in handy.

We have also talked about going in and buying a wall tent and just hike in from base camp each day and live a little more comfortable.

[huntnidaho]

I'm replacing my Kuiu Pro bino harness with a Marsupial fully enclosed for my 10x42's, fit is much better. Also adding a pair of 15x56 binos and an Exo 1800 bag that I can use with my frame for day hunts.

Oh, ya. I switched from a first run FHF to Marsupial.
