Always great to know what actually works when your out on a hunt. There are several things you showed that I'll be picking up to add to my gear list. I appreciate you giving us a peek into what gear you trust. #ABT
Good video. I know it’s a year old already but I will say that a boot dryer is 100% must have. I do not use electric version. I have a PEET Boot dryer that runs off a 1 pound propane tank for the back country That I bought from Cabela’s about 20 years ago
I know this changes the weight on the stabilizer of the bow but I electrical taped a couple Allen keys to that just so it's with the bow and not left in my pack or lost just an idea
@@ElkShape I have a spare set in the pack this in case I set the pack down and stalk in close and something happens kinda deal a fail safe for the fail safe lol am I over thinking this meeehhhhh maybe
Mind doing an update quick review video of everything you used in this kit? So we can hear an after as well? I don't see many dudes do those as a follow up.
Thanks for the great content! I just finally picked up a bow this summer with the hopes of getting out this fall and hunting for the first time in 15 years (and first time bow hunting). Definitely feeling intimidated but excited to get out my back door here in Idaho.
Excited to see how the Kifaru works for you this year. I don’t think you can beat their build quality and customer service. You should pick up some of their ultralight pull outs if you haven’t already for organizing your gear. Good luck this season Dan, keep the good content coming
I dont mean to be off topic but does anybody know a trick to log back into an Instagram account?? I was dumb forgot my login password. I love any help you can offer me!
@Curtis Juelz Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site thru google and im in the hacking process now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Nice bag. I went with the Metcalf but that Kifaru looks nice. This video is definitely going to help me on my first ever hunt. Thanks for the content 👍🏻
Yeah dude, I've been sleeping in a WM Versalite for ten years. Best bag I've ever had. Just add some more wool clothing and a good hat and you are set to serious cold temps.Keep up the good work!
Check out pacific bow butts having shot morrel targets and replacing them every year. I have a pacific bow butts behemoth target. It’s similar in size and way outlasts them with better arrow removal
Awesome video! Definitely gave me some ideas for my first Hunting season in 2021. How much does the entire pack system weigh? And, another thing to add would be Hand Sanitizer for your feet and body. I read in a book that Hand Sanitizer will kill both Body and Feet smells.
what do you do with your hunting clothes to keep our sent off it , also when you shower before you go do you have special no scent soap or , may be a stupid question .
So on the flatlines....why not loosen the set screw and rotate the front cap so the damper works in the same direction of the riser like it’s designed? Just curious.
I'd be interested in knowing what your total pack in weight is. I've always been pretty fit, but at 64 years old, I am now into shaving weight. Including my own, but that gets harder each year older I get. Keep the videos coming!
The bottom pin ACTS like a slider, but as someone said, the housing actually moves. I liked the 3 pin for 30, 40, 50...but went with what I'm used to with the 5 pin version. Really loving the Pro
Elk Shape Yes I understand brother, HOW CAN I GET ONE? I didn’t see a link Also getting ready to buy some property in Montana I’ll invite you to come hunt!!! Teach me some elk hunting! Elk Moose Bear Deer abundant
I'm surprised you are going with the 28. Hey whatever your most confident with. I love my 31.5. Also, morrell vs rinehart, what are your thoughts? How is one better ? Etc
@@ElkShape After some intense internet stalking, I found that it's called Live To Tell About It by First Field First Aid. I found it on Instagram but it looks like the website isn't running. I'm definitely interested in picking one of these up! I'll probably try to message them on Instagram and see if I can order that way. Keep up the awesome content!
Those micro bottles of super glue are a must have. Perfect for broken parts and small cuts.
Bought a Klymit insulated v pad and pillow!
Love them so fara

Electrical tape does not hold real well when it gets wet
Just put those allen(s) in your pack bro! -DS

Loved the video man and helped me out! I Need a nice pack like that! Thing looks sweet.
Dan it would be awesome if you did a video on sighting in the Black Gold 3 pin, floating the bottom pin. Keep up the great work!
Also got the Sherman pocket! I like that I can set my bow on my hoodlum and use the Sherman over top to hold it there.

Glad it could help!
OMG those boots look ridiculously heavy. I'd give a serious rethink to those monsters.
Switched to Kifaru! Congrats dude! Solid set up
Really the only thing I would suggest in ur bag is Paracord u really pack ur bags well my dude thanks for video
23:54
Elk Shape lmao 2 things of paracord I must of not heard because my 8 year old daughter well you have it all my friend 😂 😂
Great video! Thanks guys
Thanks for watching!
I have learn a lot out to shoot a bow better by watching yall
Great video. But just a heads up any waterproofing that is wax based will clog up gortex. Nikwax or anything gortex safe is your best bet
Thanks for the tip!
0:21 why'd you load up the bar with 10 lb bumper plates? loved the rest of the video but this caught my eye lol
It looks cooler - haha cuz we were doing a ladder climbing every minute on the minute and it's a matter of convenience... -DS
love my Marsupial gear bino harness. great company.
I want one!!! -DS

Doing any treestand sits for elk are you hunting Montana great content thanks
No tree stands for elk in 2020, in fact... never killed an elk from a treestand. -DS
what do you do with your hunting clothes to keep our sent off it , also when you shower before you go do you have special no scent soap or , may be a stupid question .
Do you have the link to Patrick Barbers "stop the bleed" kits?
Would you say the foam in the Morrell targets are better than the foam in the 365 targets? I like the replaceable center of the 365 concept.
I am trying to find the uhb bino harness but I can't fine it so if you can help that would be great
In my best Paul Hogan imitation “You call that a Nalgene mate? Now this is a Nalgene.” Pulls out his 100 ouncer! 👊🏻
What bow string on the vxr28?
lol yes!
So on the flatlines....why not loosen the set screw and rotate the front cap so the damper works in the same direction of the riser like it’s designed? Just curious.
How long does that tatget last? I haven't found one that lasts longer than a few months.
FYI discount code is 15% not 20%. All good though, we appreciate any help.

Thanks Roy!
Thanks
No prob -DS
Watching this in 2024 really highlights how quickly self-filming tech has moved forward
I tried looking up the company for the first aid kit in a kifaru pouch but couldn’t find anything. Do you know the name or have a link to it?
Why did you switch packs from the Exo to Kifaru?
Just going for something different, Aron Snyder is a buddy of mine so wanted to give it a shot. Got love the all the folks at EXO.
What's the name of the first aid kit in Kifaru bag?
I'm running the mystery ranch metcalf right now, I've had my eyes on a new kifaru pack in the near future!
Right on - I have used that pack you have years ago so I understand where you're coming from! -DS
@@ElkShape it would be cool to see a tutorial video of packing elk meat out this year with that pack! 🤘
Hey dan man. I can’t play your podcast at work anymore! Did you take them down?
We're getting 30K downloads a month so NO... we're pumping them out bro! -DS. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/elkshape/id1315352438
Do you use a hand held GPS to find your way back to camp?
onX app on the phone if need be!
Like the video, however, a budget friendly dump would be nice. As a retired educator, I simply can not afford pricy stuff.
Which sight is the one with two fixed pins and a third slider pin? What version of MBG?
I believe he mis-spoke. I have the pro 3 pin and it's the housing that moves, not a single pin
@@5shotgroup451 good chance I did - MBG 3 pin slider PRO SIGHT
The bottom pin ACTS like a slider, but as someone said, the housing actually moves. I liked the 3 pin for 30, 40, 50...but went with what I'm used to with the 5 pin version. Really loving the Pro
Hey where are the goat blades? “Knife”
Enjoy your vids and info thanks!!!
Subbed!
Airborne!!!
Thanks for the sub!
Elk Shape
Goat Knife????
@@TopoftheLineTraining I am packing a Goat Knife with me this year 100% -DS
Elk Shape
Yes I understand brother, HOW CAN I GET ONE?
I didn’t see a link
Also getting ready to buy some property in Montana
I’ll invite you to come hunt!!!
Teach me some elk hunting!
Elk Moose Bear Deer abundant

Did I miss him saying what release he uses?
Carter too simple release.. mostly.. he'll practice with others too - TC
I'm surprised you are going with the 28. Hey whatever your most confident with. I love my 31.5. Also, morrell vs rinehart, what are your thoughts? How is one better ? Etc
Christian Albert Morrell foam is easier to pull arrows from. Both are good. Rinehart lasts longer
@God sees all!!! Thank you - that covers my answer -DS
Do you have the website for the first aid kits?
Just tried calling him to get it for ya - once he calls me back I'll post it for ya! -DS

Just missing the kitchen sink bro! :)
He packs that occasionally too lol - TC
Do you still have any free hats with the shirt purchases?
website has 20 hats left in stock - so yes!
What’s the main reason you decided to upgrade from the exo backpack to the kifaru?
No hard feelings for Exo, Dan just has a strong relationship with the Kifaru squad and wanted to try something new.. That's my interpretation - TC
I love gear. my wife says my autopsy will read died with too much gear . Iam good with that
@God sees all!!! HaHa!!!! -DS
What in the hell is the thumping going on throughout the video?
3 year old niece running around the kitchen above my office haha! Thanks for watching -DS
Elk Shape 😂 I figured it was something similar to how my 4 y/o daughter is always making a racquet.
Good advice at the end. Guys be spending hundreds of dollars to shave grams off their gear while they're at 30% body fat 🤦🏾♂️
🤘
“This guy”
that guy
Tell us how much you personally spent... then tell us what was GIVEN to you....
do you even hunt elk? You only show a bunch of gear and say that you hunt.
Maybe watch his elk hunting videos you giant weiner
