LOL my wife was like......"what the hell are you watching" when you said "swamp ass and sweaty balls"

[@desertdogoutdoors1113]

That is awesome!!!!

[@mickeymouse9654]

😃👍😂

[@harrisonjones6988]

This is the best hunting show on KZbin. Thx so much DD.

[@pauldeahl3980]

I guess I’ll be “THAT” guy. You mentioned Levi’s and Walmart in your video. Please understand this is just my beliefs, but I wouldn’t shop at Walmart or buy Levi’s because both companies are anti gun. Levi’s is also anti-trucker. Levi’s found out that their pants were being sold in truck stops and quit supplying to those retailers and said that truckers are not their preferred clientele. When I read that I was floored. Our truckers keep this nation at the level of comfort and convenience we’ve come accustomed to and now demand. They sure have my respect. There are apps and lists that hunters and gun owners need to look at when we’re out there spending our money. Especially these days we can’t afford to be supporting the very companies that lobby or donate to law makers that want to strip our 2A rights. Another great video DD! Keep em coming.

[@lenich89]

I am proud to be your countryman. Wranglers for the win!?

[@mdirtydogg]

Thank you for taking time to make this very useful video. Much appreciated.

[@jaybailleaux630]

DD got his stuff together. Not only a good rifle a ammo that count to be a successful but all your clothing and gear count.

[@mikefromoh2925]

Liked and subscribed. Thanks for the great information and it’s really obvious your review is based on real experiences in the field.

[@YellowHammer26]

Great review and tips for buying hunting pants. I can pretty much wear anything where I live, usually something light and comfortable. I do wear some camo but what I buy is inexpensive and cost no more than if it wasn't camo or either it was a gift.👍👍

[@MrYoungangel22]

This video is awesome. Great details and knowledge about which pant would work in different situations. I’ve never hunted and never will but this some quality stuff

[@jackbuendgen389]

I love my sitka mountain pants! The suspenders are great and the knee pads are awesome for hunting out of a tree saddle!

[@KenDombeck]

Thank you for mentioning an American made clothing company. I'm always looking for products made in the USA and had not heard of FORLOH. Thanks for the great content that you produce.

[@neillmurchison5329]

Buy USA!! GREAT MESSAGE BROTHER 👍

[@desertdogoutdoors1113]

Absolutely. And if you have to go with an overseas product, stay away from Chinese products.

[@paulharding1621]

Smiled when you showed the full camo suit. I do wear some camo but usually plain green or khaki trousers ( not pants, 😂).

[@paulsimmons5726]

Great review. I must admit that blue jeans are my usual pick because I really don't have any specific weather problems to deal with in my area. I guess it also matters that you are a stalking hunter and most hunting around here is tree stands, climbers, and tripods; hunting methods will dictate the types of clothes needed. And I'm totally with you on buying American!

[@seboudog]

Good topic! Presented well! Great advice!

[@theoriginall001]

Nice hat! I have the exact same one. if you haven't been out to Kern this season try the new Ewings. I really enjoy the revamp and new vibe of the restaurant.

[@outdooroutfitters3658]

Great information! Thanks for sharing.

[@lenoxchew4732]

Awesome video. I live in North Florida and go with Carharts. I feel the same way about camo.

[@mountainhobo]

Great video, thanks. The pants I've worn over the years are getting needlessly heavy and stiff with latest updates (among other annoying changes), so this video will come in handy the next time I start looking around. I wonder if you are planning to make a similar video reviewing boots? I am about overdue, and they don't make the ones I liked anymore, and almost everything now is with GoreTex, which I despise.

[@Airplanebrain]

Great review here! I’ve done a lot of hiking and hunting and the Zion stretch was my go to when I went to Mt. Everest base camp in Nepal. I scout in them as well. Then I found out about the wrangler outdoor pants and I switched to them because they are just as comfortable and I can get 3 pairs for the price of 1 Zion. I just wish they came in camo too however some of the colors blend in very well outdoors.

[@mikefromoh2925]

Being from the Midwest another option are carhartt style bibs and wool pants for winter/snow. I like the wool for stalking and the bibs for stand hunting.

[@rgalletta58]

I'm really happy with Duluth Trading Company Flex Firehose Pants and Alaskan Hardgear. I haven't worn bluejeans in forever. Comfort is huge at my age. The only camo I have is from Natural Gear. I like the camo pattern and there is plenty of stretch. Plenty tough, too. I use suspenders as well.

[@RandyMan388]

Thanks for another great video. USA Strong! Blessings your way.

[@stevenhryciw7563]

I just got the first lite corrugate foundry pants. I like the features. Haven't tried them yet, in the field.

[@argentinedogo7702]

Much appreciated DD, I'll try a pair of those and get out of these Wranglers for a while. Thanks!

[@lockhackle2645]

My go to outdoor and everyday pants are the wrangler outdoor tech pants… awesome for living here in the south east… almost a year round pant, till mid Jan to late February… then maybe some thermals to go with them

[@HobbiesHobo]

Good info. Although I have to admit I just use work pants or milsurp cargo pants, one size to big with some good sturdy button on suspenders. Mike

[@lizlou714]

Great Video. The Flexpedition cargo pants from Duluth Trading are worth a look as well

[@DrBreezeAir]

In my experience, Blaser clothing performs fantastically. I swear by layering yourself depending on the weather, mountaineer style. On my last hunt, I wore my Levi's, though. ))

[@colt10mmsecurity68]

I love Hawx brand pants (boot barn). I also love during cold months, Wrangler denim tan colored (cowboy cut) jeans. They’re better than Carhartt. I also wear surplus military BDU’s. Love em all!

[@mountainhobo]

One thing about jeans -- cotton is good until it rains. Then it never dries and weighs you down. Worse if it gets cold. I know you are in California (as am I), so it's not usually a concern.

[@callsignmohas5190]

I am the Cory get guide pants and I will admit they hold up really well when you’re busting through brush and punching through thick stuff that being said the fit of them is borderline terrible they look good from a distance but the waste sucks I now use them as a shell over my obsidians in the colder months

[@brockboening]

I’ve had issues with my kuiu gear snagging on things, and seams coming apart. I’ve started replacing my kuiu gear with killik, and I’ve found that their stuff performs well for the price. Also, I can try stuff on at my local sportsman’s.

[@davidderr2662]

I'm like you, I have a hot body too! Usually if I'm getting cold, I'm not hunting effectively unless I'm glassing. Good job DD!

[@wyomtnhippie]

I’ve always had good luck with Columbia pants, but I have been interested in the stone glacier pants

[@chrisboynton1211]

Thank you for including China related info- so important.

[@akthad]

Great video!!

[@wolverinekut]

Great job 👍💯

[@falba1492]

I couldn’t agree more about not buying Chinese products, especially rifle scopes. I really enjoyed this review. In my very hot and humid weather, Carhartt 98% cotton 2% spandex works just fine. RUGGED FLEX® RELAXED FIT CANVAS WORK PANT is awesome. Especially if you wear larger than a 42 waist. And nothing say hillbilly like a good old pair of denim overalls in our 68° winter lol.

[@desertdogoutdoors1113]

As long as you are shirtless under the overalls.

[@eddieb4227]

Grew up hunting on the upper washington coast. I dint think ive ever saw anybody wearing other than blue heans, except when the local outfitters carried surplus wool. I was in my 20's beefier i bought rain gear. It had an average rain fall of 144". Then going Down to the HOH it would be over 300".

[@luvtahandload7692]

Great review, Dog. What irks me about pant makers is they forget about the huskier guys and top out their waste sizes at 44, sometimes even 42. I can't even wear pants that don't have 'spenders. I realize it's hard to put a belt on a bowling ball but c'mon guys. Two more inches won't kill you.

[@desertdogoutdoors1113]

My oldest son wears 42s and has the same issue. It really gets tough to find good waders!

[@jamesking4225]

This video just made me a subscriber

[@garywinkelman521]

Great review. I picked up a couple pair of Zions at REI as a result. BTW - The KUHL Klash pants are a go to pant if you have not tried those? Good hunting.

[@chellib3533]

Super helpful

[@cardsfan8782]

I really like those wrangler outdoor synthetic pants but I can’t find them on Walmart’s or Tractor supply’s website. Can you please give us the item number?

[@JJM0]

Good base layers (when needed) make poor pants adequate.

[@kellym3531]

I "listen" to most videos. Please announce which item you are describing next in addition to the displayed banner. Thank You!

[@Dalesarty]

So I gotta ask why did you change your intro music. I liked the old one.

[@marcogram1216]

I like the old music as well. Especially since I know the haters complain about it. 😈

[@BCBtrucks64]

great review very informative , and the last bit about china a big yes to that , sick of everything being made in china , dont know if you know much about australia losing our holden(GM) and ford car manufacturing and anything else we use to make here clothing included but its a very dismal state of affairs to rely on one country or another for all your imports as we are now . a boots review would be great if you havent already done one ? as i am hot blooded as well and hate wearing hot tight boots that seem to strangle the feet of blood and air

[@bradfieldrich]

DD - please share any further thoughts on Forloh, as you mentioned.

[@desertdogoutdoors1113]

Check out the next hunt camp mail (Jan 2023). I'll be answering a similar question.

[@bradfieldrich]

@@desertdogoutdoors1113 Looking forward to it. Thanks.

[@franktaylor3248]

Would you be up for reviewing a part of pants and base layers for hunting that are fully made in Europe? The majority of this company clients is miliarty and law enforcment. I am the NA distributor for them .

[@desertdogoutdoors1113]

I have no problem reviewing any high-quality gear. Just be mindful; if the gear fails me or has issues, I will not pull any punches.

[@franktaylor3248]

@@desertdogoutdoors1113 not an issue at all! Want you to run it through the paces.

[@accountcontact7764]

dickies duck canvas not bad either. I really wish they'd bring back a high waist style - I'm always pulling up so my belt doesnt crowd my waist but then I'm dealing with a wedgie all day

[@billp6312]

Good review and thank you for taking a stand for U.S.A. made products. Check out All American Clothing company for some awesome jeans to replace Levi’s.

[@lenich89]

It's not too often that I comment on videos these days. Pulled out my phone (i don't log in on my PC to prevent tracking) just to say thank you for speaking the truth regarding chinese made equipment. While the global situation is a convoluted mess of liers, cheats, & criminals, I'm trying my darndest to avoid chinese made goods entering my kit. Tough to do for some products though it's the only way we bring creation back to the US of A & discontinue fueling the rise of the communist plague...

[@TexasLonghornRanch]

Kuiu is not made in China. All the tags say Vietnam. People need to take a close look at what they think are American products. LL Bean and Eddie Bauer comes from the Philippines and Singapore.

[@desertdogoutdoors1113]

Not true. Kuiu moved lots of production to China in 2013. I have current Kuiu gear made in China, Philippines, and Vietnam. Probably at the same Chinese labor camps that assemble Sitka, Patagonia, North Face, and First Lite gear.

[@Shikaari1]

Day One is a small operation. Made in the USA

[@marcogram1216]

Awesome video. Oh, I like a big woman. Just sayin’.

[@desertdogoutdoors1113]

Don't we all

[@mickeymouse9654]

It is very simple, when it rains a rubber jacket and pants, for all other conditions Carhartt! 😃👍👌Gore-Tex and similar fabrications are hype, a waste of money...

[@stevenalvarez487]

Pants lives matter

[@KnightlyNerd]

Avoid the issue entirely and hunt without pants.
