    Look at Rokslide.com I think that’s how you spell it. It’s a western hunting forum and those guys sell some really nice stuff.

    Then I went to the yukon for a mountain horseback moose/sheep/grizzly hunt. Late season, non-cotton clothes were a must, had a very strict weight limit and weighed everything to the ounce. Since I had a few things already, I went all out with kuiu, and IT WAS WORTH EVERY FREAKING DIME! I wore the same damn clothes for 10 days and only had to carry 2 things in my pack, my down outer layer and rain suit. Never been so impressed and comfortable in my life.

    If i was picking up a few things, it would be their base layers, attack pants, and down jacket. The rest you could fill in but those 3 things make a world of difference. Not to mention you can take off thier base layers without removing you boots in about 5 seconds.

    I don’t spend money on Kuiu and Sitka but that’s just me. I hunt with plenty of guys who do.

    Well hell, I didn’t know they were called attack pants. That might be worth getting a pair.

    I’m not one for fancy clothing. Lived in Idaho for a few years and hunted and fished very hard without any Sitka gear or the like. In the fall weather is extremely unpredictable. May be 60+ and sunny or 20 degrees snowing sideways. Also it warms up quickly during the day, and the dry cold isn’t nearly as cold if the sun is out and the wind isn’t whipping. 40 and sunny out there is very different than 40 in SC

    Is it a blue flag, hanging out his back side? On the left side? Yeah that's that Crip side.

    The only thing cooler would be smoking a cigarette while you were doing it!

    I was paying homage to a fella that was a couple years older me in high school... mofo thought he was the coolest. I ran into him at some show afterwards and he starts yapping about how he wasn't into alt music anymore, solely classical, Bach and shit.. neediness, as if he was that cool.

    Smoking an entire cigarette hands free makes even classical music cool

    Sitka and Kuiu for my yearly Kansas hunt. I’m going to be comfortable and warm the one time a year I take a week off to hunt.

    Footpowder, moleskin, and/ or bandaids for blister care. That is a must have if you are going to be walking a lot of miles. Having your feet break down and not having a way to manage that will be tough.
