    Bino harness in the saddle?

    I have a Stone Glacier bino harness which I love bc it is very lightweight and compact that I use w 8x32 binos. During my last sit I decided I was done with a harness in the sadde bc it seems to get in the way alot so I just hang my binos on the tree now and grab them if needed. I rarely use...

    Would you setup?

    this is why I also have several ground blind type setups I use. I have 3 fiberglass poles with a little camo netting for a quick lightweight setup, a ghost blind and one of those run and gun style turkey blinds. All of which are easy enough to haul in and set up wherever i need to. But I...

    Cheap Stuff that Gets the Job Done

    I'm sure I'm not the first to do this but I started to do this with my aiders and it cost a couple of zip ties and maybe some heat shrink if you want to add that. In order to make it easier to get my feet in my aiders(especially if the tree leans at all) I put 2 zip ties about 4" long and maybe...

    Latitude SS vs Tethrd One?

    I hope to see the reviews from everyone after using them for a season to see about overall durability and if anyone has any types of failures. My main concern would be less about the flex(that's not always a bad thing in materials as long as they return to shape and don't warp) or the strength...

    Latitude SS vs Tethrd One?

    Thanks for the review. I'm basically in the same situation as you with the Skeletors and looking for a lighter weight alternative. Just from looking at the Carbon SS they looks like an injection molded plastic with carbon filler to so that they could market them as "carbon" sticks. Probably...

    Best pack to also pack out meat?

    I also have the same pack which I've used for a few years and have packed out a quartered Nilgai antelope with it. I really like the pack. It's not perfect for hauling saddle gear and probably a little overkill but definitely will get the job done. I initially got it bc I could carry my XOP...

    Texas Saddle Hunters share your thoughts

    I'm in Texas but not sure I have much advice. I'm pretty new to it myself and still working on honing in on my ideal setup. I bought my saddle(Cruzr) 2nd hand on TBH 2 years ago when I decided I wanted to give it a try. Also have a Cruzr Mini Seeker platform(along w a XOP Edge platform which...

    23 Pounds - Just Platform, Saddle and Sticks

    I carry 3 skeletors with retractable aiders(a little over 6 pounds), a mini seeker platform (3.25 lbs) w amsteel USA attachement rope , cruzr archon saddle w ropes etc(maybe 4 pounds). I think that is around 14 pounds total w ropes and everything. I'm probably going to the Lattitude carbon...

    Hunting flat areas on calm days

    thanks. Do you use one of the ozonics(or other hunting specific ozone generators) or just one of the cheap ones like you can get on Amazon intended for a refrigerator or something like that? Mine is a puck intended for a refrigerator but I imagine it's all the same and the ozonics type stuff...

    Hunting flat areas on calm days

    do you mind sharing your scent control routine? I've been extremely frustrated lately with scent control. No matter how fanatical I am I always seem to get busted. yesterday for instance, I thought the wind was perfect for a setup I've been waiting to hunt for the perfect wind where I've...

    Cruzr Escape Pack

    Amazingly I already received the pack yesterday. Ordered on Sunday, Monday was a UPS/USPS holiday and I still received it in Texas on Wed. First impressions are that it is exactly what I hoped it would be. Much more quiet material than the Popup. A couple of pounds lighter and more compact...

    Cruzr Escape Pack

    I generally hunt 2 types of public land plus I have a deer lease... deer hunting in hardwood bottomland forest in East Tx where i can use an ATV to retrieve any deer/hogs plus they prefer you don't quarter and pack out so the biologists can get weights and other info on the animals. The other...

    Cruzr Escape Pack

    after spending a week hunting using my Popup 38 to haul my stuff around I came home and ordered one of these Escape packs this week. Can't wait to get it. less bulky, less weight, less noise, more smaller pockets etc should make it a major upgrade. I like the Popup and will still use it just...

    Crispi Boots 3 choices

    I have foot issues and every shoe/boot I have leaves my feet hurting at the end of the day. No matter if I put special insoles in them or not it doesn't matter. Except for my pair of Crispi Summits. It must just be the right shape and stiffness for my particular feet bc I can hike/climb/stand...
