The BEST Whitetail Pack Ever?!

In this video we are doing something a little bit different, we are bringing our experiences with different products to the table to do a hybrid style review. We are calling this segment "Gear or Gadget."
We will be determining whether we think this piece of hunting equipment is gear, and we would buy it again or is it a gadget and money can be better spent somewhere else.
There are a couple of ground rules:
#1 We are not here to brand bash anyone. We are simply here to give honest reviews on products we have used.
#2 NO USEAGE OF THE TERM "GAME CHANGER". The game has not changed, and will not change from a single product.
In today's review we are talking about the Sitka tool belt, Trail camera SD card readers, and ghillie suits!
All three of us have run the sitka tool belt for the 2020 hunting season and it has far exceeded all of our expectations. It is a 600 cubic inch pack, which from the surface seems really small, but you can certainly get all of the necessary items in this pack, plus more. This particular pack is gear for us.
The next item brought to the table is an SD card reader for your iPhone.
The particular SD card reader is the one made and sold by Apple, so it an Apple certified device. Using SD card readers can sometimes cause you more harm than good, but having an Apple certified card reader on hand that imports photos directly to your camera roll, rather than to a white labeled app can be extremely helpful when checking cameras. This SD card reader is gear for us as well.
The last item we are reviewing is a ghillie suit. The particular ghillie suit in the video is just a generic one from the local sporting goods store, however any ghillie suit will do the trick. Cameron has been using one for the last two years and in 2019 harvested two bucks three weeks apart on the ground, in the ghillie suit. They give you the ability to hunt in scenarios you couldn't otherwise because of the lack of cover. So for us, its another tool to have in the tool belt, and it is gear!

Love the new serious guys! Y’all continue to provide awesome content continuously.

[@paulcrave3112]

Awesome episode. Good reviews. Thanks guys.

[@gradyrobinson-shaw6079]

This was cool! Y'all should review climbing sticks

[@theohiobowhunter]

Love my Sitka packs 👍🏼

[@chadsyl23]

Excited about this new layer of content!! Should be fun putting these out every month! Let us know if you like these pieces?!?!

[@bradhigh8137]

Love these review-type videos! I'm going to get a new pack for this coming season and I'll definitely be checking out Sitka's line-up. Absolutely love their clothing! Also, I just got my first Render in the mail yesterday, can't wait to get it out!

[@chadsyl23]

@@bradhigh8137 awesome Brad! Appreciate the support

[@travismetheny894]

I did the exact same thing. My kuiu 1850 still has purposes but for saddle hunting the tool belt is perfect. I did modify and add a different set of should straps for when I am not needing to back in extra layers and don't want to worry about the tearing up the laundry bag. I self film and can haul everything I need. Sticks, camera arm...everything.

[@chadsyl23]

Great minds think alike! Nice mod too👊

[@adammiller4595]

Is gear or gadget going to ever make a comeback? Really liked watching!!

[@jimreed3904]

like the idea of gear or gadget...alot of material to chew on...great info on the pack... my brothers and I were just talking about the best rubber boots that do not smell like pungent rubber...we literally do a sniff test in the store...topic of contaminating the boots with scent cover spray as well came up...keep them coming

[@chadsyl23]

Very interesting topic that John eberhart has covered in very deep detail.

[@beforetheecho]

Hey guy great video. Do you think I could fit a sony fx100 ,shotgun mic along with minimal gear (rangefinder, grunt call) and then strap a camera on onto the pack?

[@chadsyl23]

Can definitely fit the body, pending the lens you may have to get creative but I definitely think you can manage to get everything into the pack. If you check Sitka site for pack/compartment dimensions you get a better feel.

[@austinhix8874]

Does anyone know if Sitka will be coming out with a new version this season?

[@bradhigh8137]

Bino packs/harnesses. I'm looking for one for this season and there are alot of reviews and alot of talk about the features but no one talks about how different size binos fit in different packs. I'm probably going to go with Sitka's new Mountain Optics Harness and I'm crossing my fingers that my Vortex 10x50s will fit good. Would be cool see a video on what binos fit in different packs! Thanks guys!

[@chadsyl23]

Binos harnesses were a daily talk last year in the office. We all run different setups so that would be a good product to talk about!!!

[@chrismcneil5543]

I would buy this thing right here right now, but my major issue with it is it’s not waterproof correct?

[@michaelpalmero751]

Love the video, especially the information on the sd card reader from apple. What card reader would you recommend for an android phone ?

[@chadsyl23]

I would recommend something from Samsung. Personally I have not used one however it’s safe to say something from Samsung will be better than a $8 white labels reader off Amazon.

[@mapperrine]

Hunted from ground a lot last year with similar ghillie suit. Definitely not a good idea to wear it while walking in, gets caught on everything. I’d be interested in seeing an update on the homemade suit. Don’t buy the cheap iPhone card reader either! Enjoyed the video.

[@chadsyl23]

Thanks for the feed back! Cameron will be sure to do a update on the gillie suit later this year.

[@camthecameraman5096]

What do you guys think about hunting out of a ghillie suit!? Been pretty effective for me

[@mikeharryhunt1709]

I think u look very handsome in a ghillie suit...

[@paulcrave3112]

How are you guys attaching sticks and platform to the tool belt?

[@ExodusOutdoorGear]

Sticks below the pack with the two straps. And the platform clipped into the hamper!

[@ethanhartman1534]

You guys should do a crib with Rut Daniels!! It would be awesome!

[@chrismcneil5543]

There’d be lots of catchin deers in that episode!

[@devildogyauck7802]

No wonder these guys are doin this, exactly like me, so fidgety its hilarious, not one can stay still unless in a tree stand. Keep on keeping on fellas. Just something really stupid I noticed. Sssssshhhh there's a big one coming, stop moving.

[@chadsyl23]

😂😂😂 you have no idea

[@leonardhorning1473]

Can you pack a deer out on that sitka pack?

[@chadsyl23]

Definitely not a load hauling pack.

[@TheJonathanGibbonsTeam]

Bowmar nose button

[@chadsyl23]

That would be interesting, been curious about that myself

[@PrairieThunder]

Nose Button is in fact a game changer! Made a huge difference in the heat of the moment for me this Fall when it was 15 degrees and snowing...I was able to find that button anchor...and shoot a buck with confidence and with all the extra layers I was wearing I didn't let anything get in my way for that shot. Nose Button! Have you tried one Jonathan? '

[@whitetailfrenzy2557]

Sitka is nice but badlands makes the best packs imo

[@chadsyl23]

Another great option no doubt!
