Excellent thorough overview of what you are literally packing for your bear 🐻 trip. I found it interesting that each piece of optics you have are a different brand. Find the best deals wherever you can with what you like, right?
It’s pretty rare for all of us to use the exact same gear. With everyone using different stuff it makes us well rounded to provide advice and suggestions when folks as our opinion. What works best for Aron might not fit the bill for Kenneth or Dan. And when all we get together, we can swap and try out a ton of gear and really provide first hand wisdom.
I'm surprised I don't see you guys using the T & K gaiters. They're tougher than anything built on planet earth, backed by a liftetime warranty, they're made in the US, and the company is veteran-owned. And I know Aron is familiar with them because I've seen him using the bino harness before.
That’s not true, I know a few of us have a pair of their gators. Just don’t wear them unless they are necessary. T&K does make some great gear. However, Kenneth has had those longer than T&K has been a company and hasn’t seen a need to upgrade yet as they only get used a handful of times a year.
@@Kifarutube Nice, maybe I just never noticed. I had a pair of OR crocodile gaiters in great shape too, but when I saw the materials and craftsmanship Tyler put into his, I bought 'em without thinking twice and gave mine to my younger brother.
The overall versatility. Dig out a bed, build a seep for water, fall arrestor, and plus MTN sticks don’t break with it being thicker carbon construction.
Headed out for my first spring bear hunt in May. This was super helpful. Thank you!
That's awesome! Best of luck! Send us some photos of the adventure!
@@Kifarutube Copy that!

I did that too, not really intentional, but I love the Zeiss RF, and I love the Leica 82mm spotter!

what's the benefit of the walking stick vs trecking poles

Good stuff Big K!
