    Gear you liked/disliked 2022

    Likes: EWO one stick with straight scout. It’s fantastic having such a light minimalist set up. Dryad drey full size. Super comfortable sitting and leaning and very packable. I just have to figure out how to keep the hammock from falling down when one sticking. Arctic shield boot covers...

    Saddle hunting clothing ?

    Where’d you get the intel on the new King’s Anorak? Do you happen to know any more details on it or other pieces they may be releasing? Always liked my King’s stuff, especially the newer lines.

    New boots - non-rubber

    x2 on the Oboz for cheaper/mid priced boots. I found a basically new pair of bridgers local for a song just to try out and they’ve been great so far. They make a wide version.

    One stick fear factor

    I’ve been capturing the progress with each step by pulling the tag end as I step up as well. I find it surprisingly easy and smooth and I feel way more secure. I use a small stick though and it still works fine. Getting the tether as high as you can reach is key. From there, you just don’t try...

    Video of guy falling on rope with meter

    That guy is building a drop tower. Interested to see what kind of gear he tests and results. Who’s in for sending him some common saddle gear to test? Lol

    Base Layers

    I’m in Missouri and it can definitely get cold (ish) but it can also be mild. I run very hot when moving so a good layering system and managing sweat is key to staying warm for me. For base layers in the cold, I like a light wicking merino layer or a scent treated synthetic if it’s a long or...

    Best back band?

    I’ve been toying around with the idea of making something similar out of a backpack frame sheet.

    EBELESTOCK DAGGER BACK ON SALE FOR $49.99 GOGOGO!!!

    I use a kuiu venture 2300 and pro hydration rig. The Kuiu hydration rig/stalker is a similar concept. It can attach to my bino harness, separate shoulder straps, or on a bigger pack. Super versatile and great little pack for early season and scouting. The dagger looks awesome and like it may be...

    Best back band?

    I just got a latitude backband and like it a lot so far. It seems wider than other brands, folds up to nothing, and is easy to adjust.

    Very helpful and great reference! Thank you for taking the time to do that.

    SRT Climbing - Anchors, Hitches, Configurations

    That’s kinda cool that you’re on here talking climbing and such without being a hunter. I’ve really enjoyed reading your posts. I’ve also been eyeing that edelrid 8.9 swift pro rope. When you say recreational use, what are you referring to? Things like rappelling and srt? Any experiences on...

    SRT Climbing - Anchors, Hitches, Configurations

    I’d be interested in that comparison, particularly how the wound up sections compare to each other from a packability perspective. I’ve heard good things about platinum and if it packs decent I may consider it over c-iv. Thanks for offering to do that!

    Bolts vs SRT for Presets on Private

    That’s a concern of mine too. I don’t want to kill trees. For what it’s worth, I have an arborist friend who told me that as long as the tree is healthy, it should recover just fine. That seems to be consistent with others’ experiences here that have used bolts long term. That said, he also told...

    What role do you like for srt? *edit: rope, not role
