    Asio Gear or Sitka

    There are definitely some good looking camo patterns out there. I want the ones the deer can’t see! Lol

    Asio Gear or Sitka

    Fortunately, it sounds like you are happy with the major pieces, so not much lost there with a hoodie. You could always add a Sitka fanatic solid color hoodie (brown, earth, sage or gray) that would work with the Asio Camo. Firstlite camo patterns may blend well with the Asio and they make nice...

    Descenders - Help me choose please.

    Hmmm. Looks very similar to the Safeguard. I also noticed it’s sold out on the website link.

    Descenders - Help me choose please.

    Safeguard. Simple, effective and can be put on or taken off the rope with ease. Never had a problem with the Safeguard. Although the F4 is a nice device, I would hate to have to thread the rope through it. There are times when you want to put on your rappel device and the other end of the...

    Love Cold Weather Hunting

    You are the man! I don't mind hunting in the 20's - 30's, but I'm not fond of hunting when it gets in the teens. Not sure how you guys do it, but I guess you get used to it. I do enjoy when the orange army disappears and it feels like you have the woods to yourself. Temps can get down low...

    Switching from Scentlok to Sitka

    Good comments above. I have more Sitka than I probably need as I just got the Stratus in Subapline. My opinion is that Sitka is built extremely well. I haven’t ripped a piece and I have had some for over 5 years. As for size, I find the fit to be great and I’m 6’2” 245. People may disagree...

    A bridge too far

    I too have an Overwatch Transformer saddle made by @JCLINE84. Agree his stuff is top notch and he's a good dude. I was shocked at how good the HTP works. He installed the bridge. Knots can be a little bulky but I really like this saddle and the HTP Bridge. It is shockingly smooth. This is...

    That looks pretty slick.

    Tethrd One Stick Gen 3's - Season review so far

    Yea, I've tried most of them too and I don't notice any significant foot room difference. That may be just me. The Ones may be a tad closer to the tree at the post, but the footrest flares outward, creating some additional space. I think your feet flare outward when using any stick. The...

    Tethrd One Stick Gen 3's - Season review so far

    What stick would you consider the foot room adequate? I guess it’s good we have options.

    Tethrd One Stick Gen 3's - Season review so far

    I wear a size 13, and have felt foot room is adequate. I guess more foot room is better, but not if the sticks get too bulky. I haven’t experienced any kick out, but that may be due to the trees I’ve been on. But the last tree I was on was hard bark. I’ve had the sticks stay on the tree...

    Hmmm. I’ll have to watch out for those!

    A bridge too far

    I have gotten used to the amsteel bridge and just working the prusik back and forth to loosen it. But it’s not a one handed operation. Im not sure any bridge adjusts with one hand, but I probably haven’t had them all. I do have the fixed webbing on my kestral flex and did not like it. I...

    Tethrd One Stick Gen 3's - Season review so far

    I now have several climbs on my Gen3 Ones. If I’m being honest, I think it’s the best climbing stick made. I have had zero issues with mine, and I hope that continues. Others may disagree, but as a whole, the light weight, features, innovation and performance check all the boxes for me. I...

    Asio Gear or Sitka

    Yea, with the sale, I bought the Sub Alpine Stratus set to go along with my EV2. Probably need my head examined. Aggravated though as I put the bibs in my cart and before I completed the order, the bibs were sold out! Had to get the pants but found the bibs on sale at another site so I bought...
