    Modular Sleep System

    I have used them for years. The system is heavy at about 10lbs. The temp rating is not based on comfort but the ability to survive and is figured on the inclusion of ECWCS.

    Starting the Traditional Archery journey...again

    Something special about the old stick and string! Are you sure the Bear bow in your first post is a Kodiak? Looks to long to be a Kmag and of a different riser design to be a Kodiak? Possibly a Grizzly? Norkal

    Why carry so much crap?

    DanO pretty much nailed it. For me where I hunt and roam determines what I carry. The far north, the Rocky’s, the Great Basin with its many mountain ranges and numerous other areas out west, and I have no doubts there are areas east of the Rocky’s as well require one brings with them what might...

    Traditional Bow Recommendations

    With a stick bow your actual draw to anchor will be different than what it is when pulling a wheel bow. Also the design of the grip and riser will determine how long your shafts need to be regardless of which method is utilized to determine your draw length. Remember shaft length affects spine...

    A couple cups of raw mixed nuts and dried fruit, several Kirkland protein bars, sliced cheese and home smoked jerked meat (elk, deer, duck, goose) or summer sausage usually made from duck and goose mixed. Also keep a stash of tea bags and bullion tucked away in case I have to be out longer than...
