RESIST JACKET by Badlands

RESIST JACKET by Badlands

I used this gear during bow season and if it's warm enough out I use it when we go coyote calling. We have had some warm days here during our coyote calling season and I really like this gear. It fits well and the camo pattern blends in well with our part of the country.

This is a great addition to my backpacking and hunting trips. It is very thick and will last a very long time, I'm sure!

A few small adjustments and this is a sweet product!

MOJO^® Jerk-A-Spreader - Decoy Spreader by MOJO Outdoors

MOJO^® Jerk-A-Spreader - Decoy Spreader by MOJO Outdoors

I just started waterfowl hunting this year. So, this review is from the perspective of someone with little experience with jerk rigs. That said, I've used it enough to shed a little light for those on the fence. This has been super easy to use, very intuitive to set up, and relatively tangle-free. It's lightweight and doesn't make too much of a difference on long walk-ins (2+ miles). There's no manufacturer recommendation on weighting each of the 3 spreaders. On my first out, I used 12oz of weight on each spreader (3 oz/decoy). I typically run 4 oz weights on my Texas rigs and figured this would do the trick. This made the rig really heavy to pull and you could probably get away with a 5 oz weight on each spreader. I've run it with no weight and if you pull too quickly your ducks will try to flip over. There's only one thing I'd change about this product and that's the bungee cord and crimp that comes on this out of the box. The bungee cord is thick and durable enough but, in my opinion, too hard to pole with 12 decoys clipped in. It certainly wouldn't stop you from bringing in ducks but if you're pulling this jerk rig for a few hours you'll be a little sore after. Additionally, I feel like a little more dynamic of a bungee cord would allow for an extra foot or two of decoy travel which would be excellent. The crimp on the bungee came off on the first use and quite frankly is better secured with a quick sinch and overhand knot. All in all, this product is very user-friendly, durable enough, and allows you to capitalize on total movement much more than a single decoy jerk rig. If you're after a run and gun setup just bring one of the spreaders and run up to four decoys on the one spreader. Super versatile.

This was a must have for sausage making, and the tilt on the larger size just makes life easier. Go big or go home.

Excellent flavor and love the energy boost while hunting. Makes for a great alternative to coffee in the morning when it is otherwise not available.

SCRIPT CREW SWEATER by MTN OPS

This looked like a cool shirt, but the fit is disappointing. The torso is wide and after one wash, became very short. I've liked other MTN OPS clothing, but this one was a waste of money.

Death Grip Clamping Aluminum Tripod by BOG

Death Grip Clamping Aluminum Tripod by BOG

Really nice - we use this primarily while hunting coyotes. We have both the aluminum and carbon fiber tripods. Both are great, but the aluminum pod is the better deal. There is not enough weight difference between the two to justify the cost of the carbon fiber model. Get one you will love it!

Amazing Grinder

1.5 HP Grinder (#32) by MEAT!

Pretty much as soon as I received this grinder I put it to work. It went through my venison with no problem. Glad I landed on getting the 1.5 HP. Ended up getting the foot pedal which makes using the sausage attachment way easier.

Pyro Putty 2 Oz Can Waterproof Fire Starters by Phone Skope

Pyro Putty 2 Oz Can Waterproof Fire Starters by Phone Skope

I have been using this product in my possibles bag/survival kit for a few years. In any climate or weather it has not let me down. Last year during a winter storm while in the backcountry it saved my bacon by letting me start a fire quickly and efficiently. I strongly recommend it and believe everyone should include it with their kit.

MOUNTAIN EXTREME 400 by Kenetrek Boots

MOUNTAIN EXTREME 400 by Kenetrek Boots

For the few hunting trips I have used my new Kenetrek boots I have grown to love them. My only dislike is how hard the soles are and that translates into loss of traction on hard surfaces. I guess I would rather have a harder sole that having to replace them sooner. The insulation left my feet warm enough and not hot, it also keeps the outside of the boot cold and doesn't melt the snow as you are walking which keeps the boots dry. Given the choice I will buy another pair in the future. Thanks, EN in Idaho

Explorer Two Burner Stove by Camp Chef

Explorer Two Burner Stove by Camp Chef

I picked this up for two reasons. First, was to have a better option than the "old green monster" Coleman stove that's 40 years old. Second was to have something a little larger and reliability for when blizzards come along. This serves both purposes.
