Your gear upgrades/changes/additions for 2024

[JF_Idaho]

What changes are you making to your 2024 loadouts and why?

Upgrades, additions, and changes from functionality to comfort.

Let her rip.

At the moment I'm focusing on weight reduction.

Switched up from a Vortex Razor 65mm to a Kowa 554. Better glass and drop over a pound.

Planning on adding a Durston X-mid to dropa couple lbs from the dragonfly 3p I've been carrying for solo trips.

Between those 2 items and a couple small things I'm planning on leaving behind this season, I should drop about 4lbs.

I'll take a guy out of shape with a good attitude over some of the guys I've taken out who get pissy and emotional when things don't go as planned or get tough.

I upgraded to a pair of Crispi boots. I’ve been working on breaking them in recently.

 

[GunsAreFun]

Going to try the Elk Bros soloist bugle tube as I’ll likely be calling for myself.

And I got an Ultimate Predator Decoy I may mix in.

Everything else from my bow, pack, and optics down to my socks and underwear will be the same.

I’m pretty dialed in on what I like and need. Only real change this year may be a pair of 15x binos for coues and Barbary sheep.

 

[KBC]

Nikon HG binos possibly, I have to pick them up and have 15 days to return them if I don’t think they are that much better than the Nikon M5 s I have now.
Some Crispi boots

-Went to a lighter glassing tripod (sirui traveller & tricer head)
-goat knives tur
-grakksaw game bags
-hiking food/nutrition

Ultimate goal is to get lighter which I’ve made some strides with. Biggest improvement will be with food menu for extended trips and not having to carry a heavy bag of food.

Big glassing puffy (like FL Chamberlin big)

I became a buy once cry once kind of guy about 20 years ago. Some of my equipment is older but it all works great and I am satisfied with it. I don't really have any equipment upgrades planned for this year.
I will probably add another pair of pants and a top just like I do every year. If I can find a heavier jacket that blows my skirt up I might spring for it. I ripped my current heavy jacket last year. Not sure if itvcan be repaired to suit me.
