    Leaning trees

    I have to add.. .I had great success this year with mild leaners on high side. Had long hunts where I positioned cushy Fanatic pack straight in front of me at thigh level, then adjusted Cruzr saddle so I could sit more and just rest and straddle into the pack. Knees bent on either side of tree...

    Mountain Bike for Access?

    No it’s not fat tire. But all roads and trails are hard pack or gravel etc I’m staying out the mud and use my boats instead if wet. I had a fat Mongoose for a while fun ride but this giant rolls and coasts so much easier Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    St Vincent Island

    1st yr we camped on mainland and kayaked over daily. Crossing solo at dark in fog was interesting. Next yr we hired ferry and camped on north side. I had my bike which cut walking downtime. Sambar hunt we hired delivery to south end. Bike again and I almost died riding the beach back after 1st...

    St Vincent Island

    Great pics! Makes me smile... some years back did the WT hunts twice and Sambar once, all with tradbows. Killed deer and pigs, and saw a sambar up close during the WT hunt. Surely would like to go back one day, kept thinking the hurricanes ran over the island a few times since then and maybe...

    Mountain Bike for Access?

    I've peddled a LOT this year, and it def helped many times without the long walks that take too much time. Almost certainly going to kit out my Giant Sedona hardtail very soon with at least 750w Bafang middrive system. Will pull a 14# Sherpa trailer when needed. At 64 still in good shape, but...

    External battery suggestions?

    I've been dealing with this myself. Struggling to keep phone, ipad, cameras, etc all charged up quicker. My small camper has a 12v battery and I could rig up some extra wiring and ports, but this last weekend rather than spend more money (after $$$$ saddle gear lol) with another jump box or...

    LWCG net seat options or mod?

    Would like to ask if anyone has seen a net seat option or mod for a LWCG .5 ? I've bought and sold a .5 already, just can't handle the flat seats anymore, only do sling type seats now. I did like the stand very much otherwise. Seems like I saw someone on the web doing this mod in the last few...

    When to Retire Ropes

    Some years ago when HSS lifelines where all the rage, I took one down from a preset to pull with ATV and haul a 200#+ hog out of a deep steep creek where it died. Backed up to edge, and hit the throttle hard wfo in 4wd low/locked and drug it out with all wheels spinning mud flying. All done...

    LWCG 0.5 Full Season Review

    One stick setup inside bag? What’s the total weight in pic? And what’s your deceased deer removal method lol ? I’ve got a fan pack on the way, this time of yr quiet climbs and gear are paramount. My other two good packs make too much noise. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    2020-2021 Trad Kill Pics

    Nice little 8pt that was very personally rewarding to locate, setup, heart shot, and pack out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Stands, platforms etc.

    I usually am hunting tight quarters in thick woods with tradbows, so the transition from lightweight stands like my LW climber, M7, WindWalker, .5LWCG lately, have all been overruled for the quietness that 4 Shikar sticks and versa aider and saddle have provided this season. The stands always...
