Simple tool that could save a hunter
Mathews Stay Afield System is a simple yet effective tool for minor bow repairs when a bow press isn’t available. It is easy to use and could save a hunt if something were to go wrong. It is extremely light and will not be noticeable in your pack. A simple yet effective piece of equipment that everyone should own for piece of mind while in the field.

Perfect mid season whitetail pant
I wore these pants extensively this past fall on my whitetail hunts in Missouri and Idaho. There pocketing is perfect for sitting stands and they are super quiet and comfortable. I love having a specific set of pants for my whitetail trips.

Compact and Durable, but Limited in Storage: A Review of the MARSUPIAL GEAR - BINOCULAR PACK by Kryptek
The MARSUPIAL GEAR - BINOCULAR PACK by Kryptek is a decent option for those in need of a compact binocular carrying solution. The pack itself is well-constructed and durable, and the straps are comfortable to wear. The binocular compartment is well-padded and keeps the binoculars secure. However, the pack is on the small side, making it difficult to fit larger binoculars, and the zippers feel a bit flimsy. Overall, the MARSUPIAL GEAR - BINOCULAR PACK by Kryptek is a good option for those looking for a compact, basic binocular carrying solution, but it might not be the best choice for those with larger binoculars or in need of more storage space.

Kuiu 145 Zip-T Hoodie
An incredibly comfortable and quick drying mid layer hoodie that is perfect for spring and early fall hunts. It works very well on its own or it layers well under other clothing or jackets to provide a wide range of uses. I mainly wear it as an outer layer but it works great as a mid layer when the temps drop on those colder hunts. The hood fits very well and does not block my peripheral vision. The small zippered chest pouch allows me quick access to small items like my wind checker or game calls. Overall a great piece of gear.

upgraded from Kuiu Guide pant
I decided to upgrade from the Kuiu Guide pant to the axis pant in order to have a little more waterproofing in the legs and a little more insulation for later season hunts. only thing i wish all kuiu pants had is knee protection and suspenders. the Kuiu guide pant had knee protection which i liked when i was glassing from my knees. the axis do not have them but the added waterproofing makes up for that. these pants have plenty of pockets to store small items, as well as zippers on the hips for vents. one feature i wish pants had that a different brand of pants i had is vents in the crotch area. i have all the kuiu verde pattern which i like for all seasons of CO elk hunting. All pockets are zippered which is a very nice feature. these pants are very comfortable, fit is a little snug imo i am a skinny guy so they fit very nicely and how i prefer. i have ridden many miles horseback in these pants as well and they are holding up well

Bright rechargeable light
The wedge is a very bright rechargeable light. Has two brightness settings. 300 lumen low setting with a 3 hour runtime. Will put out 1000 lumens on a 35 second burst. The wedge has a slim design making it easy to carry in your pocket so you always have quick access to your light on the mountain or back at camp. I love my wedge light on an adventure.

Sharp Edge, Retention spring sucks
I have 3 of these knives. First of all, the blades are razor sharp out of the packages. Ive caped and quartered easily over 30-40 critters using this knife system. One blade is good for 1 deer. start to finish.
and this is where the headache starts...
the release button and the slot in the tang where the blades slide in and out, gets easily gunked up with fat, hair and blood. It regularly requires a set of pliers and a screw driver to remove the old blades.
ive soaked them over night in dawn with no better luck.
Ive tried to keep them as clean as possible to facillitate easier removal... doesnt seem to help. any amount of debris getting into that groove, or into the retention system is going to hinder replacement.
i love the knife, however they need to rethink the blade retention system.

Recommended to clients coming from low elevations worried about Altitude
nothing beats proper hydration for combating altitude sickness. but i have had a few clients that have always had altitude sickness issues they tried these and said that along with these and their normal water intake they did not get altitude sickness symptoms. i have heard many different things for altitude sickness, but the only thing i ever found worked best was either dropping back to lower elevations, acclimating over a long period or drinking a gallon of water per day. i cant say if these were the whole reason to help these guys or not but they swore by them so i do recommend them to anyone who thinks they may have issues. i have liked all the wilderness athlete products i have tried, these i cannot attest to personally due to the fact that ive never had altitude sickness. after the clients told me this was the only difference they did between one season and the next and it helped i will take their word and recommend it to them, they do suggest you need to start taking these atleast 15 days prior to your arrival at high elevation.
When i did take these myself cause i bought the kit of hydrate and recover with the altitude i felt it made me drink tons more water and my recover time in my breathing was way quicker. when i really pushed my self hard i felt i could go longer and harder without feeling like i was dieing and my recovery time was way quicker.
