    Knives

    I carry a Newberg gerber that I have replacement blades for. I carried my deceased father’s buck 118 for years until I lost it one trip. Since then I have resolved to take only knives that I wouldn’t regret loosing.

    Warmth hiking layer sub zero

    Let me step back and expose my layering. 1.Base- Patagonia mid weight, I use the mid weight to avoid sweat but still give comfort. Warmer hunts I go up to light weight but for colder hunts and moving I still use mid. Heavy was most often too sweaty. 2. I use an alpaca sweater layer that gives...

    Warmth hiking layer sub zero

    It was -8 when I went hunting this morning. Didn’t get to hunt last fall because of work obligations. My five layers worked well at zero degrees but I have been wanting to add a puffy/ synthetic as a layer. Anyone have a good warmth layer? Puffy like or synthetic?
