What products do you wish companies made for hunting?

How about a solid/safe rem 700 trigger? Too much to ask for I suppose.

There are like 10 out there? Most of these are still in production.

Well to summarize my ramblings the tread from the merrell rogue hiker, midsole of a trail runner and a shank to give a little more rigidity. Anatomically correct toe box (Altra). Synthetic all around. Full rand, minimal seems. Very flexible upper. Kevlar in high wear areas. Options for insulation and gortex. Not so aggressive drop. Most importantly they don’t weigh 1.5lbs per boot in a size 13.

Altra boots suck, I have hunted in them and Hoka boots. Not for the mountains at all.

I believe the only of those that is tested drop safe is the geissele and it has stopped production

Did they suck because of the shape and volume or other factors? I’m just wanting a natural shaped toe box not necessarily the soft sole from them

Rain gear that is athletic cut, with vents, and actually waterproof. I can’t believe this doesn’t exist.

I’m surprised there aren’t more true one pound stock blanks. I bought a new Brown Precision Pounder two decades ago and loved it.

The most recent order of Altras don't really fit me, the Hokas fit fine.

Wore both in the mountains and would not do it again. Your foot sloshes around like water in a cup.

CG-Extreme is the same as Geissle on safety.

Buy one off eBay, I do that all the time. The single set Canjar is a perfect example.

Sounds like they don't actually fit you. When they fit and are laced to a good tension, my foot never moved around inside Hokas. My only issue was the sole is thicker than I like for uneven ground.

They didn't work for a 1500 foot vertical climb or decent in the winter.

 

[Mojave]

They are decently tight, just not a mountain boot.

I wish Swarovski would make RF binos that had the optical quality as the nl pure line, with applied ballistics software in a 12x52 model. There wouldn't need to be any other bino combo out there. Best of both worlds.

an actually odor concealer that works.

There's a product called 'wind' that works perfectly.

Dehydrated small batch bourbon so all I have to do is add water. Tired of carrying all that weight. Maybe a good dehydrated IPA for breakfast too.

Genius

I think the range finder holster market is severely lacking. I would like to se exo have molle webbing on the hip belt larger than the hip pockets. I would like to see exo make a holster for their hip belts that works on the same side as a hip pocket. Boot dryers! I would like to see a lightweight and packable rechargeable heated boot dryer. I would like to see other companies market like peax so guys buy quality gear and not their commission based Chinese rebranded crap due to media influence. I would like to see elite bows get with the times. Their new carbon bow has a longer brace height than the previous model. They do not offer 80lb limbs, they have a poor color selection, I personally would like to see more options on cams and limbs vs black. They also just updated their quivers to have a cable loop at the top, which does no one any good on the mountain. Lastly I would like to see us put our differences aside and tackle the big issues that affect us all, then once that’s settled we can sort out the nuance differences within our community.

Light cheap sling swivel bipod with Arca mount. Like Magpul moe.

Rain gear that stays waterproof would be awesome. A totally non breathable jacket with generous ventilation is one idea.

Also in rain I always get water up my sleeves even if the rain gear is new and still waterproof. Drysuit style gaskets on the wrists would be cool but that would affect breathability and make then slow to get on. Probably only a few Alaska moose hunters would buy that.

Lots of fishing rain jackets have that feature, could probably just get a good wading jacket.

Well I guess now we know I don't shop the fishing section...
