Your (limited to 3) top gear items for 2024

[Brandon.miller.4]

1) gravity water filter -doesn't matter which one, but I'm never using a sawyer squeeze again.

2) big buddy pro with 20lb tanks. Propane>wood. Fight me.

3) sig zulu 6 hdx pro 16s. IS disrupted my whole glassing set up for the better.

95mm Swaro objective (upgraded from 65mm) - combination of detail, contrast, 70x zoom and brightness for glassing stone sheep. Well worth the upgrade this past year. Was unreal watching our target ram at 4.5-5km away with ease.

Wiser Nighthawk Panhead - after having a vx5 insert strip (Sirui warrantied it thankfully) I decided to try out the wiser for a simpler lighter weight setup. It does the job very comparable to the VX5 at 3/4 less weight and bulk. Happy with the upgrade

Kifaru Slick 20deg Long Wide
Being 6’7” and 250lb this was welcomed and I’m extremely happy with the comfort it’s provided me. I finally feel like I’m not shoe horned into a regular long bag.

 

[Ferkinator]

Argali Guide x trekking poles
Hydrapak 2L
Sheep feet custom insole (best purchase by far)

 

[IBen]

vargo bot 700ml
Culo clean bidet
Zeiss sfl 10x40

 

[Team4LongGun]

Hoyt RX8-fast and accurate

Garmin Xero-bye Labradar!

FFD RAP Bino harness-this is my favorite for scouting. The rapid access panel holds my pistol behind the binos and is still the best design out there for this. Some of you prob remember this company from a few years back, they did glassing woobies as well. Glad to see they are back in production, always happy to support a fellow veteran.

[Scoutfan]

1 alpaca socks -- awesome!
2 stone glacier xcurve 5900 and kuiu 2300 day pack
3 power step insoles.


Not totally satisfied with swfa 2-10 ultralight. Worked well held zero, just not quite what I want.

 

[HingleMcCringleberry]

Dynafit free alpha direct
Msr reactor
Sitka mountain bino harness

 

[Wrongside]

1- SG Grumman pants (love the jacket too, but the pants are a glassing Gamechanger)

2- Tricer AD/LP combo (slightly heavier, but way stiffer and more solid than my old Suiri setup)

3- EE Enigma -12C R/W (mostly for the pound it saves over my sleeping bag, which I rarely zipped up anyways)

 

[Steve O]

1. Aziak Frontcountry Tripod
2. Garmin chronograph
3. Sitka Ambient Hoody

 

[rtrevith]

1- UM Tikka actions. Won’t be going back anything REM 700 based .

2- Revic BR4

3- EXO K4 6,000 cu. in. Ultra Prototype.
Trust me, it’ll be worth the wait.

I have been hoping you would comment on your pack!

 

[apohlo]

1. Wiser Precision Quik-StiX (not new, but still remains one of my most crucial pieces of gear)
2. Crispi Briksdal GTX (so far so good)
3. Phone-Skope (even though mine broke on a drop and shattered my screen, it captured amazing memories across 2 continents)

 

[WyldGoose]

1. HPG Decker Tall pack
2. Garmin chrono
3. Tikka rebarreled in 6cm
