I haven't tried a thermocell at elevation but iguess there not supposed to work over 7000 feet or so according to them. Unless someone has found that to be untrue which would be great.

I dont know, sounds like they gave you good info if you ask me. You could tell us all where you plan on going and we'd prolly tell you the same thing.

Used Swaros or Leicas. Maybe be able to find a pair of new Nikon EDGs for around that from some retailers. But there is no way I'd see spendin $1200 for Vortex anything, there an ok budget option...

Nice buck, great way to start the season.

Spott Hogg Wiseguy, I just got one 2 days ago, I've never shot my bow better, it folds out of the way so I dont have to worry about it smacking on my rangefinder making noise, and it has a nice crisp...

Nice thought on the paddle holster, I didnt think of that, I have blackhawks for all my pistols but never occured to me the paddle would work. I really like my Icon 3000.

I guess that's why I'm a .270 Winchester kind of guy I prefer the 10x32, with good glass it makes up for the low light situations for the most part.

The suspension, it came to me, adjusted just how I would want it, so far that I can tell anways. So I have not had to make any adjustments, but it is adjustable should I need it. I have loaded the...

Here is the top of the pack, I thought intially, it'd be like a dry bag, but was pleased to see this design, its rather simple, and ingenious. There are then straps to pull that goe down to the...

Couple shot of the suspension and hip belt pocket. I have a Samsung Galaxy S phone, and its about as big as anything you could fit into those hip sleeves. I would have liked to have seen somthing...
