Ultimate Pack

X2 Pack by Eberlestock

Awesome pack with so many options to take gear to the woods with you. Perfect day pack. I plan on using the pack for mobile hunting with my saddle and also with my XOP Vansh Evo. It can stow my sticks and stand/platform. This pack supports it and carriers it so well!

Scouting while saving fuel

2021 Blackhawk LTE by FeraDyne Outdoors

Being a guide for a Kansas Outfitter that purchased 12 Covert Blackhawk Cameras last year. I was the one to set them up and get the cameras running. The setup was easy by just following the supplied instructions. Picture quality is ok, little grainy at night. Trigger speed seems to be good. Nice feature of being able to change all camera functions remotely. All twelve cameras ran through out the 21/22 deer and turkey season with only one having a sim card issued which was handled by a phone call to Covert Cameras. Their support team was prompt, courteous and professional. I am purchasing several cameras for land that I have permission to hunt. With the cost of fuel being ridiculous, these cameras will be a cost savor.

I wish I was a little bit taller

Mountain Trainer 2 Men's Shoes by Salewa

I purchased these for work pounding the pavement looking for thieves on the mean streets in Wisconsin. They have good support. The fabric over the top of the foot needs a bit of break in as it was a bit tight for a while. They are definitely heavier than expected. I own a pair of zamberlan 8in boots and I'd say these are as heavy or heavier than those. I'm always looking for a boost in the height department and was pleasantly surprised. It took a bit to adjust to the altitude difference with these and the extra inch or two I get. The nose bleeds and dizziness have subsided. Hope this helps. Shout out to Skeelo!

Worth the Money

Javelin Pro Hunt TAC Bipod^® by Spartan Precision Equipment

The Javelin Pro Hunt TAC is a solid bipod and worth the money from what I can tell so far. It is light and feels well built. The ability to carry the bipod off the rifle and quickly attach it when needed is awesome and the magnet is super strong. My only complaint is the lack of good options for packing the bipod. So far the best option I have found is Razco. Spartan sells a holster by Redkettle but it seems pretty flimsy for a $300 investment/bipod, that you definitely don't want to lose in the field. Pros : light weight, off the gun carry, well built, easily swaps between rifles, and lots of mounting options. Cons: limited carry/holster options and the price is a bit steep.

Buyer Beware

B1 BINOCULAR ADAPTER by MagView

I was extremely excited to see this new product hit the market and jumped on it as soon as I could. The idea of not needing a "special" phone case was very appealing to me for routine daily phone use and not looking for another thing before hunting or scouting. The product is advertised- very sleek and well made and the app helps with getting the phone camera lined up correctly. The biggest bust for me is that I never saw a warning or fun little * about how this could affect you phone… how? The steel plate you attach to your phone case for the magnets doesn't allow you phone to use the wireless charging anymore. I called Magview and talked with customer support and they confirmed this issue and said they were aware of it. I'm not at all saying this is a deal breaker. I really want this product to be what I hope it is so this season will be the make or break for it.

Great Target

SEVR 21″ HD Archery Target by SEVR Broadheads

I have only been shooting this target for a few weeks but it is great so far. Very similar to my old 18 sided target except it is larger with more aiming points which makes spreading out arrows and shooting longer range easier. I like the tie down strap groves to be able to get the target off the ground but keep it stable and in place. The green paint can chip off a little but not a big deal to me. I like shooting the grid side with golf tees too. Arrows can be a little hard to pull out initially but the arrow puller helps with any stubborn ones and it seems to be getting a little better. Rubbing some bar soap on the front 6" or so of arrow can help also. So far I have shot field points and fixed blade broadheads, standard diameter carbon, small diameter carbon, and FMJ arrows into it without issue.

Amazing flight consistency, identical to FPs. Going into hunt I have confidence they will fly true

TITANIUM 2.0 BROADHEAD by SEVR Broadheads

I've been testing these at the range and they fly exactly as my fp's. Going into hunt gives me confidence that they will fly true. Have not shot animal with it yet, but hear from friends they perform well. Practice setting on these with one little screw is awesome. I'm a new shooter, but when practicing SEVR2.0+fp follow ups I'm consistently getting "30y - touching to under 1"

SWEET

Moose Landscape Design Pocket Lighter - 540 Color by Zippo

Beautiful lighter! I don't think it will see much use though, as it is so nice and highly collectable. I may use it for a special occasion.

Tumbler

Elevation 20 Tumbler by OtterBox

I have had my tumbler for a few years now and it holds hot or cold for more that 24 hrs. It is my go to coffee cup. I know it will still be hot when I return to my truck after hunting all day.

I use it all the time

Elite Hunt Membership by onX Hunt

I used onX for the last four years for winter and spring fishing trips to summer scouting and fall hunting season. I enjoy the peace of mind knowing where I'm at in regards to private land while I'm the field and use onX to e-scout almost all year. I put onX at the top of my list for necessary purchases annually. Gohunt maps has a few features not available with onX but if I'm gonna choose one, this is it.

Great bag target!

Category 5 High Energy Bag Target by FeraDyne Outdoors

Great target to throw in the truck and go! It's big enough to feel comfortable flipping sticks at long distance but small enough that it doesn't take up the whole truck bed. Stops arrows and they come out super easy.

Does the job - doesn't leak and holds a lot of water.

Classic Easy-Pour Growler | 64 OZ by Stanley

I use this as my go-to water bottle. The wide mouth is easy to drink from and I can palm it with one hand slipped under the handle. It's pretty tough. The only thing that's made a mark on it is when I accidentally barked it with a chainsaw. Even then, it only scratched the powder coat.
