I have always been a huge fan of vortex optics. Their quality is great and customer service is top-notch. Not to mention their warranty program.
I've always used Sitka because their products have always treated me right and have been durable and dependable. The mountain hauler is lightweight yet can haul out an entire deer in one load. These items are necessities and I never leave on a hunt without them.
Nature Valley granola bars and Uncrustables usually fuel my midday snacks.
Sitka is my go-to for clothing. Durable and very good in the backcountry.
Browning is reliable and has always worked well for me. This was a new gun for me this year and I was very happy with the results and how well it could group.
