[@shanequimby4889]

3 boys, 27,26&24. They went a few time with me and my dad when they were younger but didn't stick. After the 2020 mess they asked if they could start Hunting again with me too spend time together again, blessing to be with them. Dad had to retire from Hunting so God's perfect time.

[@sofasquirrel]

Thanks for these vids. I'm in a building stage to prepare for my first elk hunt. I had to pass on a trip this September due to budget, so these tips are very useful to finish out my gear list and prepare for my first elk experience.

[@ELKSHAPEGEAR]

Glad its helping you!

[@justingarant9367]

That Peax Solace is a fine looking sleep sack. Great video with some excellent advice to get moving into the backcountry. I’m always on the hunt for the new and improved gear and my wish list remains with a lot of wishes. I will be hunting in Nova Scotia 🏹

[@brennanharris1832]

Kansas hunter going out to Utah for for first ever elk hunt this year! Learned alot watching this chanel and Elkshape!

[@ArrakisExplorer0093]

The more I watch your videos, the more and more excited I get for September to roll around. I’ll be spending my time chasing elk in my home state of Utah this year! Let’s get it 👊🏼

[@ELKSHAPEGEAR]

Good luck!👊

[@isaacmccreery2271]

Thanks, guys. Love all your content! First year trying bow hunting out, chasing after speed goats in southern Idaho and possibly a bull in central Idaho! Thanks again, Dan and Tyler! Good luck to everyone on draws/hunts this year.

[@ELKSHAPEGEAR]

Glad it was helpful! Good luck this fall!

[@BryanKent]

Loved this review series. New to the Elk Hunting experience myself and have 5 kids - so I appreciate the budget tips!! I’ll be hunting Elk in Southwestern Colorado this fall. Let’s go!!!

[@ELKSHAPEGEAR]

Good luck this year!

[@joeunderwood2530]

Lived in Post Falls for 5 years (miss Idaho elk hunting), looking forward to our Colorado Elk hunt this fall! Great video and thanks for sharing.

[@Uncle.Mike.]

Awesome video, tested my equipment I got on a budget this weekend, failed miserably! Really appreciate your insight. Especially on a budget! Hunting coastal SWWashington, before watching this I came home knowing the sleep system needed and big improvement.

[@mikeftball44]

Got into bow hunting from your videos and now looking to do my first Colorado elk hunt this fall. I’ll be taking my daughter who is into bow hunting with me. We started hunting 5years ago and just switched to bow last season but are slowly putting together our gear. Just got camo last year lol and have killed a 10 whitetail. Love the videos they are helpful please keep them comming .

[@ELKSHAPEGEAR]

Glad you like them! we will do our best to keep pumping out content!

[@Codee_see]

Appreciate all the work you guys put in here for us! Fall otc elk here in Utah for me! Gonna be a grind as always!

[@ELKSHAPEGEAR]

Glad we can help!

[@imdollar]

Hey guys. Always great content. I appreciate it. I will be hitting OR for elk the first week, WA for the second and ID for final two weeks. Let’s go.

[@cartersmith8329]

Love this channel guys think it’s a great addition to the elk shape channel. I will be hunting Big Wonderful Wyoming!!!

[@ELKSHAPEGEAR]

So Very Glad you are enjoying it!

[@nathanoneill12]

Great video! Been following the series on budget gear and it’s been a great reference for my own setup. I’ll be hunting in Texas for whitetail season. Keep up the great videos!

[@Saltyskiangler]

Thanks for the great feedback on the products. Gathering gear now for my first hunt, I’m going hunting with a friend in New Jersey, great info, I feel like l might not freeze my ass of now!! Looking forward to the next episode.

[@ELKSHAPEGEAR]

Glad we could help!😊👊

[@parker456]

Born in Utah and moved away when I was 1. now I 15 and moving back! Successfully drew an archery mule deer tag. Won’t have more than 2 weeks before opener to scout. Wish me luck on my first mule deer!!!

[@thatmuledeerguy]

Sticking to the home state this year in ND. Going into the badlands and living off your back is a next level challenge but its a blast! Thanks for all the info you provide!

[@ELKSHAPEGEAR]

Have fun!

[@stcroixarcher3237]

Hope to be going back to Colorado again this year. I really like that you’re showing guys there are options out there that don’t break the bank.

[@ELKSHAPEGEAR]

Good luck!

[@mjphale218]

Some good insight! Need to pick an choose your upgrades for sure! Thanks for pointing us in the right direction! I'll be Hunting ND and hopefully MN this coming fall!!

[@Durham0629]

Love the discussion. I have become a little bit of a gear junkie my self. Gonna be hunting with my old man this year! He drew a late rifle bull tag in arizona! Can’t wait.

[@ELKSHAPEGEAR]

Thanks going to be a fun trip! enjoy it while you can!

[@jay_c140]

I'll be hunting Arkansas, Missouri, and Colorado this fall. Awesome video, keep it up!

[@craigrobertson6082]

Great info fellas.

[@F15Bluto]

Good series on this. Budget doesn’t mean cheapest version of everything. I like this angle. I prioritized (feet, sleep, pack, then worked base layer outward.) Took several years. But every time one piece became that year’s priority, the higher end stuff is still working great. Example - bought a used Kifaru frame and bag 8 years ago (the old “bikini” frame) and it’s still as solid and functional as day 1. First lite base layers, 8 years and still kicking. Once you drop coin on the good gear, it just works, dependably, for a long time. After close to a decade, I now only have to replace wear items like boots, but stuff like this video definitely got me into the woods and hunting while I built it up.

[@ELKSHAPEGEAR]

Thank you 👊

[@wasatchback5072]

Cool thoughts. Hunting UT this year. Deer, elk and an awesome OIL tag.

[@RudyHassallPMP]

Keep the great insights coming! I will be hunting the Appalachian Mtns in Virginia this fall.

[@bobdozepy5807]

Awesome news and reviews. Can always use good gear. Gonna be hunting 1st time Colorado OTC Sept archery lets go

[@sethhollar5922]

Great review and really good point about building your gear up over time. Being 26 and just starting out I feel like I have so many things to buy and not nearly enough money lol. Thanks for sharing thoughts on the most bang for your buck items though and where to start. Definitely helpful. Hope to be chasing whitetails this fall (NC) and maybe an Elk if I get extremely lucky with a tag out west.

[@zacharynaranjo1481]

Awesome info for the average joe!! Thanks for you testing and info

[@ELKSHAPEGEAR]

You bet!

[@FreshCoastKnife]

Love the channel, I guess I watch more for the dream of hunting out west as I will be in Michigan.

[@ELKSHAPEGEAR]

Plan it and make it happen!

[@bigbadjohnfamily4642]

I'm headed up to meeker Colorado 1st rifle in Oct. this will be my 1st time ever going great video BTW

[@406Yotes]

Don’t know how I missed this gear channel, but subscribed now and loving it 👍

[@joshblodgett9341]

Hunting elk western WA, deer/ turkey eastern WA

[@ELKSHAPEGEAR]

Welcome aboard!

[@Saddle-Ninja]

Hopefully this will be my year for az elk! Been putting in for 10 years so finger’s crossed 🤞🏻

[@patrickharrison4136]

I was there once with very little cash and used or borrowed anything that I could find within my budget. Army surplus stores were my go too at the time. Thanks for the gear gouge video.

[@ghaugsness]

This was a great series on budget items for a backcountry hunt. Will be taking a look at the Black Ovis base layers. Going back to Utah on general season tag.

[@darrellcrowson8588]

This has been a great series. Thanks guys!

[@mervinhershberger7284]

Great review guys ! Really like how you break the items down and explain definitely helpful!! Will be spending time chasing elk with the bows in Colorado this fall and my son has a deer tag as well! This will be my 3 rd trip but the other 3 guys going with me it will be their first hunt!!!!

[@jeremyhildebrandt]

So this fall I got drawn for an Arizona archery elk hunt. I plan to hit up some fall turkey and winter Javelina hunts. Thank you for the budget reviews I do find them helpful.

[@ELKSHAPEGEAR]

Glad its helpful!

[@andreweickholt7023]

Liked this video and subscribed to both this channel and the Blackovis channel. Appreciate the info! Have a general deer tag for Montana this year! Could use some new gear!

[@christopherriley4823]

Excellent video. Completely agree with the slowly acquiring quality gear. Planning a CO elk hunt this year.

[@ELKSHAPEGEAR]

Right on!

[@jeredhogansen875]

East side Oregon Cascade for elk and mule deer. Thanks for share the insight. Really liked that hydration system.

[@ELKSHAPEGEAR]

Our pleasure!

[@ryankirwan2121]

Great budget gear recommendations! This fall I'll be hunting Elk and Whitetail Southeastern Idaho.

[@mattgoin]

This video nails it! I don't have a lot of money now, just save a build a kit. One thing that helps is don't look at the newest stuff that just came out but look at the stuff that came out last year or the year before. It's going to be quite a bit cheaper. I will be in the Oregon wilderness for archery elk! First year I've put in for a rifle deer tag since I started hunting 15+ years ago

[@ELKSHAPEGEAR]

Thanks for your support!😊👊

[@hameedtalebian4738]

Sweet video! Another great tent option is the Paria Outdoors Bryce 2P for $180. I run that tent and am really pleased with the performance to cost. I’ll be hunting MD this year but planning to get out west in 2025!

[@ELKSHAPEGEAR]

I will have to look into that one! Thanks for the tip!

[@clark3694]

Thank you so much for the wisdom yall bring! I’ll be hunting in Arkansas this fall. And Lord willing Idaho next spring!

[@ELKSHAPEGEAR]

👊

[@jeffsackett679]

Good information. Appreciated it.

[@ELKSHAPEGEAR]

Glad it was helpful!

[@pikdiesel]

Great sit down gear discussion. Love the unbiased, real world reviews. Unfortunately, not gonna make it west this year. I'll be kicking dirt here in MD and Pa.

[@elipesio2186]

Oregon coast for Rosie’s and a week east of the mountains for some Rocky’s . Keep this type of info coming !

[@engineerz_hero6771]

Great video. Thank you for the review of the gear. Juat whitetails in NJ and PA this year for me. Unless by some miracle I pull a PA elk tag. Building points out west for the next couple

[@ELKSHAPEGEAR]

Good luck!

[@ChadR41]

Thanks for the videos and gear list. I have an archery deer hunt in Arizona this year I am looking forward to

[@ELKSHAPEGEAR]

Good luck!

[@rlandhauser]

Thanks for the insight! I'll traveling out to CO for the 3rd season (and hopefully 1st bull)!

[@biggun7171]

Hitting Colorado in September. Been a 5 year plan with my buddy buying gear during this time to alleviate the huge cost of gear all at once. Definitely have got a ton of quality gear that we have tested during this time.

[@tonylarson974]

Chasing bugles in CO. Great info! Camofire lights my wallet on fire🔥! Great stuff! I use a quilt opposed to a sleeping bag…lighter & cheaper than a bag. Love the content! Keep it up!

[@ELKSHAPEGEAR]

That can be a problem! I have been there as well!😂👊

[@AnOutdoorEnthusiast]

Good solid honest reviews. Appreciate it!!

[@ELKSHAPEGEAR]

Always!

[@royhoglund1322]

Thanks for the info! I'm all geared out with primarily KUIU. I'm stoked to have an Idaho elk tag this year! I also have CA, KS, and AZ deer tags. See you in the field.

[@ELKSHAPEGEAR]

Good luck!

[@smitty88190]

First over the counter tag this year, ready for the grind!

[@ELKSHAPEGEAR]

You got this!

[@robertirving7764]

This was a great series. Thank you for doing this. Will you make a mid level or high end budget video? Im hoping to be hunting anywhere I can this fall.

[@nickporter9976]

Thanks guys! I will be hunting in Idaho this year for elk and deer. I'm definitely still piecing my kit together. I would still love to see you guys do a review on the seekoutside courthouse. That is my white whale right now, and I would love to see your opinion on backcountry basecamp with that.

[@ELKSHAPEGEAR]

We don't have a Courthouse to review right now, but it does look like a great backcountry basecamp option. I have the 6 man teepee and it works well for a back country minimalist basecamp shelter. couple that with a stove and you are warm and comfy.

[@JohnConnell-wz5lg]

Elk hunting Eastern Oregon in the fall,good luck to you guys.

[@dolzinnig]

Great review. Have been happy with the BlackOvis gear I've purchased so far. Drew a Utah buck deer tag but still waiting on results in Oregon.

[@KevinNeidigh-jy1kv]

Great reviews guys! I’ll be hunting bow hunting here in Montana. Maybe Idaho calling bulls in for my brother.

[@MrPretendingtowork]

Hunting WY Antelope this year. Thanks for the great content!

[@joshuadiaz9256]

Hunting eastern Oregon backcountry pursuing elk and mule deer. Great reviews.

[@Preston.Whiteley]

I will be in Utah for muzzleloader Mule deer and archery Elk. Great resource for a starting point! I enjoy the videos you guys make.

[@CahenBarlos]

I'll be hunting Central and NE Washington this fall Im intrigued by a few different things you guys reviewed

[@ericandlindydubbelde3538]

Awesome video! I have alot of the pieces you reviewed. I'll be hunting SD and MN this fall.

[@ELKSHAPEGEAR]

nice!

[@TheWVgoodguy22]

Excellent breakdown and reminder to not spend all your money on gear, but also get some tags 🏷️ and go on adventures. I will be doing a general deer 🦌 muzzleloader hunt in Utah for my first western big game hunt. Plus I will be hunting Ohio public land for the first time since I moved here. 😃🏹🦌

[@ELKSHAPEGEAR]

Thanks for your support! I really appreciate it!

[@TheWVgoodguy22]

@@ELKSHAPEGEAR you are quite welcome 🙏 and thanks for sharing your thoughts and helping us out.

Really enjoyed the review and will be picking up some of these. Going on my first bow hunt in Nevada this fall

[@ELKSHAPEGEAR]

Good luck! Glad you enjoyed the review!

[@wyatthill92]

Trying to draw a special elk tag in my home state of Wyoming and trying to go help my brother with a buffalo tag in AK. So much info in this video. May have to watch it a second time to get everything.

[@newenglandbowhunter4403]

great job Tyler!!! Utah Elk Hunting!!!

[@cagostini25]

Great video guys. I’m hunting muleys in Utah this year

[@ELKSHAPEGEAR]

Thanks! and Good luck!

[@papaschuette]

Wassup Brothers. All that stuff is some awesome gear. I do have a Klymit sleep mat, so, besides the sleep mat you tested, everything else would be an upgrade for me. I'll be checking out some BlackOvis merino wool base layers for sure this year. What I have isn't very good. I was liking that tent until you pointed out that design flaw with the water dripping into the tent. This year I will be hunting for Colorado elk in September and whitetail hunting in Northwest Indiana from October to January. Thank you for doing this series.

[@ericsnyder9975]

September in Idaho mountains. Well done on the gear list!

[@kellennaizer]

Will be in Colorado and New Mexico this year! Looking forward to trying out some of the Born Primitive gear.

[@coltenglawson2454]

Be my 3rd heading to Colorado and hopefully points in 3 other states. 22 years old and absolutely hooked on it. I want to get to where I can hit 5 states in one year one time in my life.

[@ELKSHAPEGEAR]

That's a good goal!

[@alexbrewer7166]

Great information, hunting general season elk in Wyoming, western unit tag. First time elk hunting there, heard it’s get country.

[@dannyfernelius1764]

Thanks for the video. I've worked my way up through gear over the years but I'm always curious to see what others are using and how I may be able to incorporate it into my gear selection. I'll be hunting archery elk otc and muzzleloader deer, looking forward to hitting the hills!

[@ELKSHAPEGEAR]

Glad you found this helpful!

[@alexalves2064]

Be hitting up the great state of Texas for Aoudad and whitetail and potentially back to my home land of Alberta for mule deer. Love your info Tyler thank you!

Im all about the budget gear and would love to use some new gear for this year hunting in California and a late season hunt in Colorado

[@rudyhuhta9237]

Will be hunting in the upper peninsula of Michigan. Hoping for a black bear tag along with whitetail.

[@boonebrown]

Love these types of videos gear reviews or not the casual campfire shootin the shit vibes its awesome fellas! This fall will be full of many adventures right here in good ol Western Washington 😎🤙😅 Deer elk and bear spread out between the family we have it going down all seasons, archery, muzzy, and rifle! Going to be epic!

[@ELKSHAPEGEAR]

Sounds like an awesome season!

[@jonathanmcglin9982]

Heading to MT for elk! Last year was my first trip out west and Camofire/BlackOvis sales were essential in getting the gear I lacked.

[@ELKSHAPEGEAR]

Awesome!!! Glad you are getting after it and the gear is working out!

[@thecoldrensfurfishandfeathersl]

Very informative series thanks guys! Colorado for elk and Pa for whitetail

[@ronaldirvineII]

Tyler really thought that out smart move bro. To look at it like what you would get if you where on budget and not just Googling cheapest stuff. Love the elkshape gear side of things keep crushing it bro. I'll be hunting western washington the coast range

[@TheeGluee]

Going to be hunting in Colorado, Nebraska and Wyoming!

[@kylebutler5150]

First time ever. Planning on going to Colorado for OTC if I don’t draw a limited tag this week

Thanks fellas for the honest opinion, I'm from western Pa, I'll be hunting the big woods of pa, some suburban areas as well, im hopeing to hunt Ohio as well, possibly west. Virginia but will see. Mostly all whitetail, some bear in PA. I doubt I'll be lucky enough to get a elk tag here so not counting on that. Thanks again.

[@ELKSHAPEGEAR]

Glad to help!
