Backpack Hunting Gear Purchases!

[ScottR]

What gear are you planning to buy this offseason?

I have my list started, but am planning to start making purchases before spring bear. Starting with a new Jet Boil and another pack bag for the Stone Glacier.

Boots will also be happening this summer. Not sure, but it will likely be a pair of Lowas.

Oh man.... I think I found my pack!!!! Mystery Ranch 3 Day assault pack!!! Hoping to have one by September but they are a coin to pick up.

Boots for sure for me and my little guy his feet keep on growing.

I want to upgrade my backpacking shelter and some new boots would be nice!

FedEx just dropped off my gitzo safari tripod head which looks awesome and super lightweight. Just waiting for my gitzo gt531 legs and 50mm Razor spotting scope to show up. Total wt for the entire set up is just over 3 lbs total

I just got a Mystery Ranch Metcalf, can't wait to put it to work in a few weeks. Am also needing to get a new sleeping bag, but that is still in the research stage.

A primaloft vest. I am going with all my old stuff to try to get more days out.

I'm going with the kifaru nomad this year.

Id like to run a quilt this year but money is tight with the hunting trips. Luckily I'm pretty content with my setup now and I know it works well.

Jetboil, and a Big Agnes sleeping pad for starters

The new Kryptek 800 fill hooded jacket that is comming out soon would be a upgrade along with their rain gear. I would like to replace all my old Russel gear to Kryptek to be honest. Crispi's Wyoming gTx boots and I have got to replace my two man tent! That thing is trashed.

I picked up a Stone Glacier pack and a Swarovski spotting scope. I'm probably set for this year, but I would like to do some more testing with my rangefinder on longer distances. Maybe a new bino/rangefinder combo that has angle compensation might be in the near future. Also a new scope for my wife's 6mm is in the near future.

 

[RockChucker30]

I want a better camera, maybe an updated rangefinder. Other than that just a few pieces of clothing. I'm pretty set pack-wise . I also need another pair or two of hiking shoes and would like to try the Inov8 Trail Rock 245 or the La Sportiva Anakonda. I'm in the market for a good pair of low drop or minimalist boots too.

Other than that I need to throw a different paint job on the Kimber Montana 260 and maybe a set of strings and cables on the Hoyt and I'm good.

 

[kiddwinner]

new lightweight sleeping pad!

 

[IdahoSkies]

New sleeping pad, and pack.

 

[firebeck]

Oh man.. lots of things on the wish list. Probably though the only thing for sure is new boots. Others got used for work this winter and got trashed.

 

[Retterath]

Ikeepitcold. The koldo rain gear by kryptek is great stuff bought some last year and love it.

 

[kevin_T]

Very few upgrades for me, maybe a part of my sleep system or a water bottle or some shoes / slash boots

 

[ScottR]

Sleeping bag may happen for me this year.

Im looking at buy boots this year.........doing a lot of looking around as finding size 15 boots is a real pain so far Danner seems to be the only one that has a good variety to choose from
