    The art of layering, I need input

    Since Sitka had a 25% off sale, and I was looking to add to the arsenal of gear purchased last fall, I had to come back and re-read this thread and update. Before my "rut-cation" kicked off last fall, I purchased the Fanatic Bibs and Jacket, as well as the Fanatic Hoodie based on the...

    EHD

    I don't disagree with your statement above one bit. I don't believe we are the lone contributing factor, but I certainly believe we are contributing now more than ever. I've read a few different articles from studies in Michigan and qdma about it as well, and there are more factors in play than...

    EHD

    Anyone have any thoughts on how baiting and putting minerals in the ground might contribute to EHD? Hear me out here. It is my understanding the midge lays eggs and hangs out around muddy and swampy, shallow water type areas. Maybe not so much in the heat of the summer, but in the spring when...

    T mobile

    We have TMobile. I would put their service right up there with Verizon, at least here in SE Ohio.

    Are You Making Any Changes, for the Upcoming Season?

    You know, when I was talking about using a daisy chain on the platform, I didn't really think at the time about it being a webbing daisy chain. It still had a little give to it. I don't believe I ever tried one of the amsteel daisy chains on the platform. That'll give me something to try after...

    Strouds 2022: Week of October 17-23, 2022

    If the weather keeps up as it has, I would love to come down and hunt a little that weekend. I have zero hours in as a public land hunter, so it would be a nice challenge to do a hang and hunt with zero intel. Either way, I will be down again at some point between Thursday evening and Saturday...

    The art of layering, I need input

    I shoot a t-handle release, so heavy gloves have never worked for me. I typically wear a liner glove, or and early season polyester blend glove and run the big hand warmers in my pockets. I don't like variables when it comes to the moment of truth, as I always find a way to create havoc when...

    The art of layering, I need input

    This is the type of experience and insight I was hoping someone on this forum would share. I learned years ago, much to my wallets detriment, that quality gear make for a worthwhile investment. But everything I currently own is showing it's age, so it's time to start upgrading. I will still...

    The art of layering, I need input

    So I have a heated vest I received as a gift two years ago, and it does well. In my case, I found out, the more I used it, the more my body "needed" it to stay warm. I can appreciate the fact that you get instant heat, but when the battery dies, or on a day where I didn't wear it, I regretted...
