    How many people actually use a bino chest rig?

    New England woods here - I have an FHF harness and it goes with me everywhere, all year. Holds binos (10x50), milkweed, grunt tube, range finder, tags and my havalon knife. It will occasionally bump my bridge in the tree, but doesn't make any noise. It's never once been an issue shooting my bow...

    Wild Edge order issue

    Just as an update - I did get a response back from WEI after another follow up email. They sent me a KISS line kit and ate the difference between the cost of the the other KISS kit and the regular line kit I was supposed to get. So once I got a hold of someone it was worked out very fairly and...

    Wild Edge order issue

    A couple weeks back I ordered 2 KISS Line kits from WEI online. The package arrived within a week or so, but it contained 1 Line Kit, and it was the version with a Kong Duck, not the KISS Line Kit with the prussic and tender. I emailed WEI referencing my order number, got an automated response...

    Help me find a job

    Because my business isn't going south and I love what I do (and I am completely unqualified to do the fixing pumps and other problems part of the job). I've actually been helping him try to find someone to take over - he just wants to retire.

    Help me find a job

    I know someone trying to sell a pool business on Martha's Vineyard. Works his ass off from April-Sept with opening, cleaning, maintenance and closings, but he clears over 400k for himself during that time. Pros: pretty much no work from October-March, good money, and the Vineyard is crawling...

    Kuiu Guide Review

    I have a few puffy jackets - LL Bean 850 down, Kryptek Ghar, Patagonia Down sweater and probably my favorite - Arcteryx Atom L, which is synthetic. For pants, I have the discontinued Kuiu Kenai pant (synthetic insulation) which are awesome because they have a full side zip so you don't have to...

    Kuiu Guide Review

    I've been using the guide jacket and attack pants (and guide pants late season) for 3 years now. I love them, but if you think that they are for sitting in any temps below 45 or so, you will be very disappointed. And cold. They are great at what they are designed for - active, mountain hunts. I...

    Tether tag end help!?!?!?

    The buckle on both are certainly load rated. Hadn’t really occurred to me that someone would put a load rated buckle on a belt that wasn’t, but I guess that’s why I’m asking. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Tether tag end help!?!?!?

    I don't contribute much here, but I've been reading for years. And maybe this has been covered before, but here's what I do (please feel free to tell me why this may be dumb/useless): Ropeman attached to tether, running the bridge through it, but I have a prussic on the tag end that I simply...

    Hot weather camo

    Kuiu Tiburon series is pretty amazing. The fabric lets more air through than anything I've ever worn. Doesn't look like the 1/4 zip is on the site anymore, but the pants and 1/4 zip I have are hands down the best warm weather stuff I've tried. Much cooler than Sitka ESW, light weight hoody...

    What are your plans for a fall?

    Why not just bear hug the tree and slowly slide down? If your tether is still attached, it would take some strength to grip the tree and get your weight up enough to loosen the tether. So I might just disconnect and shimmy down. But facing a fall from 20 feet, I'm pretty sure I could figure out...

    Sitka vs First Lite vs Kuiu

    I have Kuiu for early season, and mid season if I'm going to be hiking a lot and it's over 40 degrees. Or for tracking in the winter, when I won't be sitting at all. It's light, it breathes, it dries quickly, and the soft shell (Guide series) is super durable. And in a pinch, I can throw a down...

    Top 5 best/worst gear purchases

    Best: 1) Wild Edge steps (+knaider and swaider) - ability to keep climbing method in my pack all day, but be able to get 20 feet up if I want has been a game changer. I sometimes cover 4-5 miles scouting/hunting and having sticks poking out and catching on brush drove me insane. 2)...

    Mantis Saddle shipping status

    I ordered a Large Mantis on 6/14 and it was delivered yesterday, so under 6 weeks. No news on Sys Hauler and Predator yet, but that was a hell of a lot quicker than I expected for the saddle. Good stuff. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I"ve read a lot about kickouts, gaff outs, "Partial Falls" and potential accidents lately....

    no, just 8mm climbing rope. Knowing I had the RC harness hooked in as a backup I didn't take the care I would usually take, and it was only my second time in the sitdrag. Tied a loop on one end and girth hitched it, then tied a figure 8 on the other. Didn't notice it had slipped from my first...

    I"ve read a lot about kickouts, gaff outs, "Partial Falls" and potential accidents lately....

    I'm super new to (posting on) this forum, but as someone who just got a knaider/swaider and only used Wild Edge steps a few times last year, it worth it to point out that we are all very, very different. Both in terms of our comfort with risk and with our ability to feel comfortable in sketchy...
