EP. 577: 10 GEAR ITEMS THAT I'M LOVING

[@yo2stix]

I been backpacking mountaineering and rock climbing for 20 years. You guys are starting to really learn from us. I just got in to hunting. I’m using zero camo and all mountaineering gear. Works awesome.

[@osbornoutdoors8778]

Always a fan of a gear dumps. Still surprised you guys don’t have more subs than 50k, people just don’t know what they’re missing.👍

[@Just_Samson]

I do. Lol. (Agree with you as well know what is missing) TY SEO is the key for growth

[@marshallbradley5892]

a tip : watch series on Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching loads of movies recently.

[@anakinrudy2027]

@Marshall Bradley yup, been watching on flixzone for since december myself :D

[@harolduriah6686]

@Marshall Bradley yea, I have been watching on Flixzone for since november myself :)

[@a_muley_high8344]

Brian, I'm so impressed with everything that Stone Glacier has been putting out and I'm excited for their new products. I have made the transition to wear NO CAMO as I don't see the point. Stone just caters to the ultra lightweight backcountry folks(every ounce lost is freedom gained), their packs are so sweet and for that I am grateful. Seek is also top notch when it comes to shelters, no one comes close in my opinion. Tell Lampers thanks for doing the R&D for Stone as well as yourself, those guys are so cool and just genuine dudes. Great feedback on the trek poles, it's the little insights that enhance my performance. Sissy Stix are changing the game, tell Brice they are just top notch. Great video!-Steve

[@joeybennett1491]

I’m looking real hard at their puffy jacket. and one of their packs. 🤙

[@kqc8224]

I use the SoloHntr bino harness, always a bit careful closing it with the magnetic closure noise, but when I’m within bow range, never use bino’s anyways, rangefinder only. It’s low profile, lightweight and you can add a phone holder to it, but I don’t like it…. Too much crap on my chest. All the others you mention are bulkier and gimmicky in my opinion. I also bought the same larger model for my 12x50’s. Love it too.

[@lrleslie4542]

Been using the Outdoor Vision bino harness. Has everything you were looking for. Fully enclosed, opens forward, very compact, built in rain fly. Excellent rangefinder pouch.

[@dylanstein7139]

I think a bino harness to check out, if you haven’t already, is the Outdoor Vision bino harness. The other guy I hunt with has one and Im unsure right now but I might like it more than my Sitka harness. Another great podcast again, I love when we can hear from guys like you that interact with companies and also test lots of gear. Keep it up!

[@maxs9533]

Try the Hillsound microspikes. I use them in coastal BC in wet grass and walking on wet blowdown, as well as ice, of course. Hillsound has 18 spikes compared to 12 and the spikes are longer which is key in grass and brush. Tiny bit heavier but they also have a velcro strap over the forefoot.

[@cameronmyers6773]

Just harvestes my first black bear over the weekend and I am glad i bought a goat knife! I used my benchmade altitude for the gnarlier cuts but set it to the side for the most part since i got tired of resharpening it lol, those bear hides are tough..

[@andysponseller5941]

Love the in depth and the why like it and what don't like with gear. Keep doing videos like this on other gear.

[@sheerwillsurvival2064]

Great gear from the only real backcountry hunting channel 👊🏻

[@russellandrus3262]

How do you only have 50K subscribers? Always love the content. This review/overview of the Sissy Stixx answered some of my questions on why those. Can't wait to grab a set and break em in on my upcoming hunts. Keep up the amazing work and thank you!

[@joshfreeland759]

Made the switch from AGC to the new Marsupial enclosed. It's got some stretch to it and is quieter material on the exterior. It has some other upgrades to it from the version you're rocking (deeper side pockets and molle bottom). I believe you'd like it even more.

[@deannalemburg10]

So finally ordered the sissy sticks used gritty code saved 19.45 thank you, keep using and breaking things to save us money

[@CourtneyRasbach]

Question- if plastic isnt your favorite thing (mine either) to take out to the mountains, what might you propose would be something good to pack your food in?

[@johnsimonelli9988]

Brian, If you use your walking sticks properly you will be surprised how much better you will feel. I held them the same way, and then I saw some guy on youtube explain why those straps are there. They take all the pressure of your hands and if you hold them at a 70 degree angle going uphill they actually push you up the hill!!

[@HikeHuntHaul]

I run that same marsupial bino rig with my vortex hds and rangefinder. Love that system. Super durable and great fit. Very high quality and fits very well while hunting all day and glassing. 😃👍🏻 great video!

[@rwagner3289]

Great Video, one suggestion would be to add links to the items in the video in the description. That way buyers can go straight to them easily & are more likely to purchase direct instead of through another retailer where you may not get your share from the buyer using your code. Just a thought.

[@dakotaracebrown]

Have you tried the outdoorsman packs? What do you think. It would be beneficial to me and maybe others getting into backcountry hunts. For maybe a video on the different packs you have used. Which ones you like ?

[@darkstreakaia5267]

Appreciate your insight on gear. Thanks. I fell on a pole before. 315lbs versus pole. Pole lost.you sold me on the sissy sticks. I hate when the tip punctures the boot.

[@jamesrobinson9054]

I like your show very much. I just ordered the sissy six with the promo code gritty saved me about $27.00 thanks man I like your Camo hat but sold out at the moment I’ll wait, Safe to say I’m a proud supporter.

[@nathanwiggins5874]

Brian, another great pod cast! I’ve got two questions: 1: What is your SOP (standard operating procedure) for came care once you get back to the truck, for the drive home, and once home? For give me if this has been covered in another podcast. 2: You said that you where able to save around 5lbs off of last years pack weight, what was the total cost for those saved pounds?

[@johnbailey6022]

These gear segments are super interesting. Thanks man!👍👊

[@jonjones3415]

Received my GRITTY shirt and hat in the mail. Was a little disappointed,tried on the shirt and my arms didn't look quite as pumped as Brian's 😁. All joking aside, Awesome stuff. Thanks guys!!!

[@GrittyGearAndPodcast]

😂🤙🏼 Thanks Jon!

[@bigfootllamas777]

Great gear update👊

[@davidgunnels2391]

I like the way your wife adapted the bino case. I now have a new sewing job the wife can do for me

[@fbiz01]

How come every time I watch one of your gear bumps it costs me money? Good explanation of the why on every item.

[@deannalemburg10]

Yup

[@sheerwillsurvival2064]

The big ones are snow baskets lol grass catchers love it so true

[@easymoney1024]

Went in to REI to get that gsi micro light and noticed hydro flask has a trail series line of bottle. 2 oz lighter same heat/cooling technology. I pulled the trigger on hydro

[@GrittyGearAndPodcast]

Let us know what you think after you get some use out of it! 🙏🏼

[@kiteman377]

What got you to switch from Kifaru to Stone Glacier packs?

[@briancharles8392]

My gear is constantly evolving as I find things that work best for my style of hunting.. but man, I NEED one of those Alpaca rafts! I think they would open up so much more country for the backcountry backpack hunter... now, only 1hr 15mins left till leftover tags go on sale here in CO. Wish me luck!

[@GrittyGearAndPodcast]

Good luck!

[@butchbittle6786]

Ok

[@Naumets1]

Would u recommend the u turn stove over the square. I’m planning on getting the seekoutside 4 person Tipi with a large stove. What would you say is better for a large stove. Ushaped or Square. Also do I need a large or medium will do mostly be using it for spring Bear. Some use in October/November. Answer would be much appreciated. Also what sleeping bag do you use and recommend. Thankyou your vids are money as are your podcasts, Keep em coming.

[@russellandrus3262]

Do the Backcountry Pro Sissy Stixx have that extended handle section like these? The ones you can buy on the website don't look like it.

[@1straightcut]

I've always used plastic Nalgene bottles, which work fine for me. My girlfriend got excited because they were the old BPA plastic, so replaced them with new BPA free though she still doesn't trust ANY plastic. I'm not concerned about insulation/hot/cold. Is safety from potential harmful plastic part of the equation for using stainless steel or just a general dislike for plastic? If you think there's still a concern for harm using BPA free plastic (like my girlfriend does), I'll re-tool to stainless. Thank you for your input on this!

[@prestont5769]

I missed what gator model you use and like the best OR? What model? Have you checked out the gravity bag filtration? I think it’s by platypus. It’s awesome. Crazy how you and so many guys prefer a bottle over a hydration bladder. I have had mine freeze if I forget to blow air back in the tube after I drink. But I haven’t had the actual bag freeze. I keep it in my sleeping bag at night if it’s below freezing. Have you tried the kuiu harness? If so what’d you think? Thank you for the podcast!

[@johncrosse9305]

I noticed you always have a pistol in the tent at night. Are you just putting it in your pack? I have been scouring the web for a pistol holster that I can access quickly with my pack on. Any suggestions?

[@GrittyGearAndPodcast]

Checkout Razco holsters. And checkout AGC (Alaska Guide Creations). We use both. Our weapons were always on our person-never in our packs. 👍🏼

[@jsb.1978]

Sweet setup and just started subscribing. What binos are you using? I was looking at 10x42 BX-5 or BX-4.

[@A_Revord]

Are you using the spartan lite standard or long bipod? I need me one of those this season!

[@robtryall9036]

Hey, what camera and lens are you using for audio/video Sony A? Ziess?

[@Justin-zs1ql]

Have you tried out the Kuiu Pro Bino Harness?

[@matthewhunter9491]

You should really check out the new marsupial enclosed harness, I got one and I think it is even better then the old one and I loved the old one

[@GrittyGearAndPodcast]

Can’t wait to check it out!

[@billydevoss1173]

I agree Matthew! Just got mine on Friday, and got to use it this weekend. Pretty sweet!

[@brentkeys1876]

Is that model of stove the medium titanium?

[@colbykinney5633]

Howdy bros

[@garrettolrogg3700]

Thanks for another great podcast

[@1fire1ice]

I'm sure you've covered this before, but what battery bank are you trusting on these hunts to keep your phone/camera charged? I've tried a couple and maybe its just bad luck but they seem to stop working or the cord spazzes out and stops recognizing my devices and refusing to charge.

[@GrittyGearAndPodcast]

Just covered this in an upcoming podcast. In a nutshell, I use the Dark Energy Poseidon.

[@1fire1ice]

@@GrittyGearAndPodcast thanks, I'll check them out and looking forward to the podcast.

[@TheRealEricRose]

How are the sheep feet working out for you? Have you had time to test them out or not? Trying to decide if I want to order some or not.

[@gb3378]

@Eric Rose Figured I'd weigh in. They are great if you needn't correct anything going on with your feet--collapsed arches, etc... If you have some feet issues I'd suggest you see a podiatrist who can take a mold and then have inserts made that help to correct any issues you have. I had to go the podiatrist route, which is about the same price--less the doctor visit. Again, nothing bad to say about the product just depends on your personal reason for getting them. Hope this helps.

[@drested1793]

Live auction time. A live feed auctioning off the bino harnesses you aren't going to use.

[@matthew_moon]

I’m struggling with keeping my phone and watch charged while in the backcountry. What do you take with you as a power station that will last you for 10ish days?

[@kierkegaard907]

Anker 10000, but keep it dry.

[@cameronmyers6773]

I also use the anker 10,000 and 5,000 and i do keep them in a ziplock bag. They work great

[@huntnut8635]

Wish I could get some of this gear in NZ

[@kgrigby]

Have you tried a freight forwarding company like MyUS? I have used them for a couple of years now and the postage costs to Aus. are pretty reasonable. If you can get gear sent free within the US, the overall cost is not too bad. It's the conversion rate on the US dollar that is the killer, though.

[@huntnut8635]

@ keith Rigby. I will look into it. It’s usually our crap dollar in NZ thats the killer

[@ElkArrow]

My mom won't let me go outside anymore. She said I'll catch a cold

[@sheerwillsurvival2064]

Tyvek is great but too noisy every move you make is sooo loud 😳

[@drested1793]

You're pissin Aaron off.

[@GrittyGearAndPodcast]

Truly not my intention. Although we do not always agree, I respect his expertise. Good man-taught me a lot. Nothing but respect for his experience, drive, and work ethic. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@drested1793]

Yea, I know. I was being a smart ass, I shouldn’t have posted that. It was a joke but, hard to get context on the internet.

[@GrittyGearAndPodcast]

Dre Sted - LOL! You’re an A-hole Dre Sted. 😜

[@drested1793]

Brian Call: 👍🏿👍🏿

[@GrittyGearAndPodcast]

Dre Sted 😂
