    Overnight + trips

    I get it and now that my kids are getting slightly older 12 and 3 - 10 year olds this past season it gets a little easier. My wife and I have been married 14 years this year and have only been away from the kids once in that time as a couple. She’s a stay at home mom doing cyber school with the...

    EXO K4 Thread (Officially unofficial)

    I have the 5k which I use for day hunting and just cinch it down with everything in. I’m really tempted by using a crib panel and a smaller 1000ci bag attached to it with the lid for day hunts. The 5k gets to be a little much at times, but I’m generally a cheap ass and won’t spend the money to...

    Overnight + trips

    A group I hunt with has done this for the past 7 years and I’ve gone the past 2. Usually we get up there either Wednesday or Thursday and stay through Sunday. Early November here in Pa so temps are usually cooler and it’s a matter of having the right gear. We pack in and then set up a base camp...

    hunt\hike boot recommendations

    I bought a pair of Hanwag Makra Combi GTX last spring. The boots are stiff, however when putting on miles, particularly with weight off trail they performed great and I couldn't have asked them to do any better. At no point with a heavy pack did I have any feet issues.

    EXO K4 Thread (Officially unofficial)

    In the photos I uploaded earlier my entire climbing setup was in the main bag. If I'm going in for an evening hunt I have my puffy in one of the outer sleeves and my saddle, stick, and platform all loaded into the main bag. I prefer this vs sticking the platform between the frame and bag as it's...

    EXO K4 Thread (Officially unofficial)

    I one stick with a modified hawk helium and then used a predator platform once I'm up. I've considered going to an all in one stick, however I feel like it wouldn't pack as nicely for me. It's very possible that the slippage your experiencing is from that. The K4 definitely needs broken in...

    EXO K4 Thread (Officially unofficial)

    I’m here for the support group. I started listening to the Hunt Backcountry podcast a couple of years ago and came to respect Steve and Mark. Anyways in 22 I bought the “blem” K3 as a way to get into the pack world. The system performed great for me and I honestly didn’t have any issues with...

    Work boots

    I just paid $150 for complete rebuild through NuShoe. It appears as thought the same vibram sole was used. They had a cheaper option, but I figured for a few more I'd have them rebuild everything minus the leather of course.

    Work boots

    Thorogood's get my vote. I just got my pair back that I had rebuilt. They are the first pair that I haven't worn through the toe cap and could rebuild when the sole was shot. My feet where very happy when I was able to get back into them.

    New Gear for 2023, Go!

    I can't access it from the network I'm currently on, but there is a screen grab on rokslide using the new K4 crib panel with 2 of the pouches and the lid which would seem like the perfect whitetail daily setup. I refuse to drag anything out anymore and having a pack that can handle the weight...

    New Gear for 2023, Go!

    Honestly I'm pretty pumped about this, but I just bought a K3 last year and can't quite bring myself to pull the trigger on a new pack already.

    Post season scouting, How's it going?

    Haven't gotten out yet at all. Hoping to change that this weekend and head north to the mountains on Sunday. My one son signed up for baseball and that's throwing a wrench into some of the plans. I should scout the local game lands I hunt, but I'm still a little pissed about 2 trail cameras...

    PA Show This week Latitude sticks

    Was up on Tuesday with my kids. I got to spend some time at the booths, but not as much as what I would have liked for some of them. I was impressed by both the Tethrd One Stick and the new Latitude stick. If I had a choice between the 2 I would choose the tethrd personally. Out on a Limb Bob...

    Cell Cam Data Plans

    I used Stealthcam prior to mine getting stolen. My sample size of 1 functioned great for the 13 months I left it out for with only 1 battery change. I have a Tactacam waiting to be put out for next year, just can't quite decide how I want to mount it to deter theft again.

    Best Packs For Holding Saddle Gear and Deer Quarters

    I’m an EXO Mountain gear guy myself. It’s overkill for what I typically need, however it gives me the ability to get everything in and out without much of an issue. Concerning carrying the entire thing out at once I take it you’re planning on deboning before pack out? I carried a front and...

    We have 3 Mission Radik's. Easy to adjust without the need for a press and will be able to grow with them as they age.

    IronWill Single Bevel with Bleeders or without Bleeders for Whitetail

    I vote for with. I don’t shoot Iron Will but do use Kudu Points single bevel 125gr. Last year the buck I shot provided very little blood trail with the standard model (no bleeders) however, he only went 60 yards from the shot and heard him crash. I was unable to find him though due to it being...

    Hot tents, packable wood stoves.

    I have a seek outside cimmaron. Needed something for backpacking with 4 kids and myself. Currently we can cram into it, however thats putting that tent over capacity with no moving around. When I took it on a backpacking hunt this fall for myself the thing was a palace with more than enough...

    Grigri safety

    I use the standard GriGri to one stick, hunt and then also rappel with. However I found this piece of information this year on Petzl's site and use it while climbing and hunting. It's resolved the issues I had prior with the GriGri opening and not locking up quick enough when trying to climb or...
