    Issues with hip vent zippers in pants or base layers?

    Looking at upgrading some clothing this year and one thing that I really want is hip/leg vents in pants and possibly base/mid layer (e.g. SG full zip helio bottoms) as well. I'm concerned about the zipper causing pressure point where the bottom strap of the saddle would cross it. The helio...

    Alps zero-gravity vs legend layout blind for waterfowl in cornfield

    Just getting into waterfowl hunting and will be mostly in corn/bean fields in central Illinois. I have a bad back so I have basically decided on one of the Alps layout blinds with zero gravity chair. Would those with experience recommend the Legend with full floor or the regular zero-gravity...

    Singer 66 - Will it work?

    I've been keeping an eye on a Singer 66 Centennial that is posted on Craigslist. I'm looking to make some bags, pouches, webbing loops, etc as well as eventually dabbling in the diy saddles. Will this machine be able to handle these different tasks (going through several layers of heaving...

    Black Friday or Christmas sales for Seek Outside / Stone Glacier / Kuiu?

I plan to order both the Krux EVO and Xcurve from SG, the Revolution from SO, and the frame and pro suspension from Kuiu so I can compare them at...

    JX3 whale tail safety concern

    I have been debating if I should install the retaining bolt that prevents the whale tail from coming all the way out or leave it off in case there would be any reason for removal in the field. I was originally thinking about if packing meat or other items if the tail would be in the way while...

    Surplus Gen3 ECWCS sizing help

    Looking for some help with the Gen 3 ECWCS sizing, specifically level 7, but will probably pick up levels 1, 2, & 3 as well (the price is right for having some extra layers around if my current stuff is dirty or gets torn/ruined). I'm 5'8" 175 lbs. My chest with measuring tape is 42" and waist...

    Briars, cockle-bur, burdock, bur clover, or anything else that grabs you - what ya'll using to keep them off?

    Doesn't matter where I hunt, I seem to always get covered in some form of vegetation and have to waste time picking them off. What is everyone using/wearing to keep them away? I was about to order some chaps (https://danshuntinggear.com/chaps-brush-buster.html) as I would only need them for...

    Socks - Altera alpaca / Darn Tough Merino (edit... Alpaca/Merino Socks)

    I would like to upgrade to a premium, unconditional lifetime warranty sock (both for hunting as well as everyday work). Altera and Darn Tough both seem to fit this bill but two different materials. On paper, Alpaca seems like it is a superior choice, but I would like to hear some first hand...

    Safeguard vs ISC D2 Escape for Oplux

    Has anyone used ISC D2 Escape descender (https://www.iscwales.com/Products/descenders/RP860-D2-Escape-Descender) on Oplux? It is specifically for 8mm rope. Doesnt look like it can be installed mid-line, but needs to have the end of the rope fed through. Is that correct? Specifically looking...
