With the focus on ultra light for so many years, it is good to see some love for gear that makes the hunt more enjoyable/comfortable. Saving 5-6lbs is great for pack weight. But compromising a good nights sleep, dry boots/clothes can be a lot more draining than packing around a few extra pounds.
@livinginorangevilleontario42467 ай бұрын
Agreed! And not only that but if you spend the extra money on a quality pack you’re really not gonna feel the extra 5 pounds as much as some would think

I have followed a few thru-hiker channels for a few years to learn about gear that the hunting industry has overlooked. The Flextail Gear pump was one of those items that I found a few years ago and damn - it's one of the best little pieces of gear in my pack! I bought the larger one to keep in my truck hunt tote. 👌

On really cold hunts I put my power bank in a sock with a hot hand when it’s back at camp charging off my panel. Another thing I’ve added, a drug store eye patch. When stuck behind a spotting scope all day, it really helps with eye strain, no more covering your eye with your hands.

@francismcgouran94657 ай бұрын
Western hunting is a different animal and I appreciated the comments. Good reliable gear is a must. Glassing and rest to recover is 85% of the battle. The more comfortable you are the more time youll put in . However you define a successful hunt …. lighter gear and gear that will hold up to a a few weeks on a mountain means a lot.

I feel that the stove would be more weight to carry than just a double wall tent and sleeping bag. How do you keep water coming underneath when it rains with a floorless tent? Or wind driven snow? Isn’t it risky to put a sleeping pad in contact directly with the ground, for risk of punctures? Especially if backpacking in…

The pump for those rafts is just a bag that you lift up, spin and push down to inflate the raft. And Ryan is including that weight of the raft, and bag. See a video here of how the inflation works: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4GkoXl7oqyqa8U

If you plan on getting in that raft, especially on a river, even more so if you're inexperienced, you need a life vest and should have a helmet. I know, party pooper here. But I've had too many bad experiences with people that would still be alive today if they wore a vest. And now Im going to go spend money on a portable boot dryer and mini air pump

@@Semper_3.14 There are a lot of factors that go into that.. is it a perfectly sunny day, what time of year is it (sun angle), tree cover(even a small section of panel in shade can drastically reduce output), panel angle toward the sun,,are you at camp to reposition it to a better angle throughout day, wattage of the panel, mAh capacity of your bank. If all the those factors line up, yes you can fill a dead bank. But you also don't always need a 'full' bank.. I can usually go 3-4-5 days on my phone before needing to charge if I am in airplane/low power mode in the backcountry. So you might not need a full bank each day.. maybe just 15-25% of a phone charge each day of solar. But then again,, if I am on a 10 day backpack hunt and I bring a bank that can fully charge my phone 3-4 times(20,000mah).. don't really need solar.. If you are purely a backpack hunter with camp on your back every day, a solar panel is not going to be a practical solution. Hanging it off the back of your pack does not work.

It's still hunting. If anything, gear advancements have allowed folks to pack farther in and stay longer. It's opened new realms of opportunity and people are continually pushing the boundaries of what's possible. Having all the nice gear doesn't mean success is guaranteed. Overcoming the physical and mental challenges is still the biggest hurdle and that's what weeds out the vast majority of people who give this style of hunting a try.
