    Tethrd Predator CFX

    Oh boy, where to begin. I guess I’ll just end. This is basic heat transfer and thermodynamics. Rubber boots are a material between a heat source (your body) and something at a lower temperature, the environment around you. Like metal, they have their own thermal conductivity. This is the...

    Tethrd Predator CFX

    Easy to test. Go outside when it is 10 degrees below zero. Sit or stand on a metal plate/platform/stand for awhile. Put a piece of carpet under your feet/butt see if there is a difference. Experiential learning. I can only explain it to you…. I can’t understand it for you.

    It is called conduction. And yes, it is real.

    In Kansas and getting the p knocked out of me!

    You can pee in the scrape. You can pee in the ground. You can pee out of the tree. Let it rip! Not a good idea to walk on the trail though.

    In Kansas and getting the p knocked out of me!

    Those can be good temperatures. Good luck! Post rut. Focus on bedding in morning and food sources in the evening.

    Mid Layer

    No. And no. Look at the different fabric weights. It is not a 1:1 ratio. You pile on many layers of a low quality/poor insulation, or just use a heavier fabric weight, it is not going to exponentially be a better insulator. It is just going to be thicker and bulkier, not necessarily retain...

    The No-Shame Thread

    Feel better now? No shame thread. You name name, you shame no shame thread. You weren’t there, so you didn’t see the first several arrows launched at the multitude of deer encountered or the points of entry (scapula, spine, Texas heart shot, hamblaster, all pincushions). Used dull broadhead...

    Wiggy's

    I can’t speak to the Wiggys fishnets, although your comments are echoed elsewhere on forums, but the Aclima fishnets I used this year were great, especially with a heated vest. I wouldn’t give up on them just yet. (Actually liked the first Aclima set I bought so much I purchased a second set...

    Thlete Camo - What the….???….

    Saw this picture posted on the Thlete website. It is interesting. Picture is the third one showing their Tailwind Puffy jacket. Any guesses as to what this is trying to depict?

    Saddle Hunting Pack Post - What defines "the best" Saddle Hunting Pack?

    Stop tormenting me with that Kelty Cache hauler waist belt on your DIY setup! :) I have that Kelty pack and it’s so tempting to repurpose it for a whitetail treestand suspension, but it’s my primary meat hauler for elk. And I’m not going down the rabbit hole of finding a new meat hauler for...

    Switching from Scentlok to Sitka

    @HoneyBadger53 An inexpensive 60L (14" x 24") stuff sack, 210D ripstop nylon. Can be purchased from REI or other sources for about $15. As an added bonus, I also use this on my canoe hunts, which helps to keep my outer gear dry and the paddle drip off my outer gear Only weighs about 4.6 oz...

    Switching from Scentlok to Sitka

    I avoid this issue all together and wear different clothes for hiking in and out. Nothing to do with scent control. More to do with spending control. Outer layers are very expensive, so I wear inexpensive clothes to and from the stand and put my expensive outerwear into a stuff sack and...
