As the editor of Rokslide, I’m also responsible for choosing the articles that are published on our homepage at Rokslide.com  If you haven’t visited that page before, or it’s just been a while, give it a click here.  There is a lot of new material on there that can help you plan your 2015 hunts, win some gear, or just plain old entertain you.  Once there, see the left side of the page “Recent Articles,” or choose articles from the drop-down menus at top of page.

Also, there are still a few weeks left to get entered for the Rokslide “Boot Month” giveaways for the Schnee’s Bridger Hiker, the Zamberlin Guide Boot from Black Ovis, and the Lathrop & Sons pick-your-boot.

Yesterday, we published an article that should interest anyone putting together a cold-weather clothing system.  You’ve met Jared Bloomgren before on the Rok Blog.  

He’s on Rokslide’s prostaff, hunts a ton of days and species per year, and knows what works in the field.  He penned an article on his choice for a cold-weather layering system.  I think some of you could benefit from his advice so I wanted to feature the artilce on the Rok Blog.  Take it away Jared!

Hunting late season when temperatures drop out the bottom can really hinder your hunting style and ability. Being able to hit it hard while these undesirable temps take hold is key to remaining successful. 2014 late season was no different than in years past. I hunted with both archery and rifle tackle in temperatures with a high of 8 degrees during the heat of the day with lows to -20 with wind chill down to -35 degrees.

Jared Bloomgren
Jared was raised to appreciate the outdoors and everything that Mother Nature has to offer. He strives to better himself in the hunting community and to also help those that are looking for the insight that they wish to acquire when it comes to hunting. He plans all his own hunts and is very proud of being a "Do It Yourself" hunter who hunts mostly puclic land. Jared is fortunate to have gained the support of various companies in the hunting industry. While he enjoys various styles of hunting, 90% of his hunting is done by spot and stalk. Jared says "Spot & stalk really pits your knowledge and experience against that of your prey on their terms. It levels the playing field more than any other style of hunting." He takes extreme pride in the knowledge and experience that he has gained over the years. As a freelance writer, he enjoys reliving hunts and passing on tips and tactics information in prose to readers. He is the proud father of two, Emmalynn and Jackson. He will teach them many of the same things that he was lucky enough to learn from his late father.
