Thank you for mentioning SUPER GLUE! My wife used to give me grief for carrying this to use for cuts. It burns like fire but it definitely works in a bind and you can use it to mend your equipment.
Exactly I keep super glue in my hunting pack in my truck and especially in my gear bag for bullfighting guys or my self get little gashes from a hoof or horn glue it up and back to work
That idea of putting the bugle tube end through the back pack strap and twisting it back is INGENIOUS! Why didn't I think of that years ago?! That idea alone was worth watch this video. Thanks man!
This is absolutely what I needed to see. I've gotten the bug to do different hunts than just whitetails but I've always been intimidated because I wondered how much gear I'd need. Now I know and it's way less intimidating than I thought. That's as much because of the way y'all bring us along with you on your trips and into your world. Many thanks for making me feel like one of the boys!
When I first started watching Born and Raised Outdoors a few years ago, the idea of backcountry hunting was super intimidating. But, the more I watch those videos the more it makes sense. Thanks for doing the gear dump video. Good to know those backpacks are probably not as heavy as they look.
I agree with you 100 percent and this year is my first year doing it leaving next weekend good luck to you on your season btw
I've been doing it every year since I was 16. Gotta come up with what works well for you. I save some room on food by eating 2 grouse mostly every night and cook on a fire. I bring more clothes. However these days I started going into town every 4 days over the 14 day hunt
The most intimidating part is packing out the animal if you get one.
@@Schnot For sure, but it must also be very rewarding when it's done.
@@SNAGEMNTAG3M how’d it go? This will be my first year
whoa whoa whoa.... is that darn tough socks?
Zach, as a fellow elk hunter I enjoy your videos. For many years when I was on a budget I bought economical boots. Now that I can afford any boots, my boot of choice for mountain hunting are Meindl's. I also have a pair of Zamberlans for winter. The Zamberlans can run around $400 and the Meindls are under $300. If I knew they made that big of a difference, I would have still found a way to buy a pair when I was closer to broke.
For someone living as far south as it gets, can you guys do a video on HOW you plan these hunts and what all goes into it? I'm a hunt over bait guy (Texas has very limited public land) who wants to chase bulls, but since I've never done it, I'd like to know all the prep work that goes into making one happen. I'm a newer subscriber but already liking the channel! Great bull!
This might be late but watch randy newberg
I keep coming back to this video as I pack my pack and scratch gear off my shopping list
That's a giant load for a small pack. Thanks guys. Be safe out there and keep the good stuff coming!
going to try a solo backcountry elk hunt next summer, this was a very helpful video, thank you.
Wish you told us about the pack too brother!
That is the best advice for packing a sleeping bag and pad I have ever heard
Nemo makes some backpacking pillows that are small, light, and comfortable. Would recommend, always take on my trips
No nonsense and very helpful. Solo elk hunting this weekend
Awesome video guys! I have been looking for a simple video like this. I'm planning my trip for next year, and this was a huge help.
Stick cotton balls in the advil bottle to take up extra room so that doesn’t rattle, they weigh pretty much nothing. Cotton balls and Vaseline or wax makes good fire Starters too. Old man I met in the woods taught me that. We were hiking not hunting but he said he could hear my pill container rattling 100yards away.
What tent system are y’all running, I looked and didn’t see any in the comments but I’m not very technologically savvy! Thanks and enjoy watching your stuff!!
Good setup! Gold bond powder is a elk hunters best friend for rash and swamp ass.
Thank you for this I’m going on my first public land elk hunt here in Colorado I’m lucky to say I’m a local with my brother and I’m super excited and finally got a tag!!❤
Excellent video. Glad you guys are having fun out there. Can’t wait to start white tail season here
Headed to Colorado for my first DIY elk hunt. This video has TREMENDOUSLY helped me out.
That advice about just stuffing your sleep system in your pack is great. I started doing that years ago and it helped immensely. You probably know this, but EXO makes a dry bag for their packs in case you get tired of that hefty bag. :-)
This is great! Always wondered how you packed your tent and supplied!! Can’t wait to go out west next fall and hunt!!
Boom and we're glassing😂💪💯
It's like you read my mind with a video about what you packed
Nice gear dump....eagle scout here with many mountain miles on my boots with a pack like that. Some things have stayed the same over the years but that water filter sure must beat the iodine tablet water I drank! Congrats on a great bull again
Really? I thought iodine was pretty certain. So outside of boiling what’s the best method?
Boiling is always the best but I'm impressed by these new filters
@@JimRyser yikes I had a mild case once from drinking non iodine water
Those Zattaran rice & beans, are freeze dried too, and super cheap.
How about an updated video of things y’all might of adjusted or changed after 3yrs of elk hunting.
Roll up and secure the straps on your backs. Not only does it look like a soup sandwich when they aren’t well kept, but they’ll catch on stuff and ruin your trip real fast
You're a legend! Thanks my guy, good to see what other people use
Heading to Colorado in couple months. Drew a bull tag. Been trying to figure things out to bring. Thanks for the video.
Great advice, Zach! I pack similarly for time out bush here in Australia, though I pack heavy-duty gaiters every time - in summer, I'm protected from our snakes and all-year they stop me from getting smashed-up shins.
Yo...wildland firefighter here...duck tape works better then mole skin...
I have the same boots. Put a lot of mile on them. They are amazing.
What boots are those?
@@loganbryan1833 Quest 4d
Nice exo.. all that in that is why I want that. . Exo packs are nice..
When Zach starts doing practice draws with an arrow nocked everybody scattering like rats looking for something solid to get behind lol sorry buddy I had too.
InstaBlaster...
Zach is a superior human in every way.....except for his eyesight.
You guys are awesome love all the videos I learn a lot from you guys always watching you guys hope to get my first deer soon just started hunting went twice nothing yet but hopefully this year stay safe guys the hunting public #1
Hello y'all and good evening
Always stellar content boys!! Keep Killin it!!
You should use wilderness athlete me and my dad have used it for a long time
darn tough socks!!!!!!!!!!!
A big question for me is in the backcountry, how do you keep your hands clean when putting in contacts and taking them out?
Soap & water
Would you consider a hammock system instead of a tent to stay off the ground?
Once in college I got embarrassed in front of my girlfriend because I borrowed my parents' big ol' canvas tent and it was missing some poles. So as soon as I got my loan money for tuition/books/etc. from the bank I went straight out and invested in a great pup tent that's lasted me ever since. That four hundo seemed like a lot at the time, being a broke student, but it was one of the best investments I've ever made in terms of the return in value. I'm now closing in on forty and my five year old son can setup that tent and stay warm and dry in it.
Great video! You nailed it!
👍🏻
What brand of main pack and where can I buy one?
MissionFishin exo mtn gear
@@45bigred1 4800?
@@vanschyndeln yes 4800.
What Keens do you wear?
I saw you guys get your gear for free on the first episode... jealously
Very Informational Thank you guys!!!! Keep up the Great Work
What tent are you running? Looking at getting into hunting out west and just curious what I need to spend.
What size of pack would you guys recommend for the hunts you go on?
Great idea on packing the sleeping bag and pad without rolling it up, thanks! Did not see any rain gear?
Steri strips to replace stitching?.
Keep calls in Bino harness and keep tags in Bino harness. If drop bag you have your tag on you. Never know when DNR agent wants to be a complete ass.
Put rain gear and puffy in outside pockets. Make it easy to get to. Put dirty water inside. Want heavier items middle of pack close to back as possible.
Hey, so are yinz doing the challenge in PA this year?
Zach what’s your Venmo? I’ll send you some money for some crocs. Crocs>everything else.
Curious what you do with all your gear when you pack out?
typically packing out, assuming with a butchered game, takes multiple trips. So leaving your gear in the woods while you pack out is typically necessary. I have 'shuttled' game and gear and broke up the return trip before. this way my gear is never more than a couple miles away. I tend to keep my rifle with me as it is a very expensive item.. also, if you return to your vehicle with your gear first, you may have a hard time convincing a waiting game warden that you have intent to return for the meat. Also why most states suggest packing out the antlers last.
Always pause when people recommend boots, and also recommend moleskin lol!
Not saying he did, but ive seen so many dude say "these 300.00 boots are a must have" then show how they take care of blisters🤔
I must be lucky, but I've never had problems. I wear new boots everywhere when new and before a trip. Keen have been outstanding, and these Irish setters are great too. Just my 2cents
Great video! What's your Max pack in weight before getting meat with everything max food and water and how many miles per day could you go with that at full capacity. Vs If your weight was 100 pounds total how many miles a day could you do?
Cant forget the electric tape
What model of pack is this? Great video
Yall are funny as hell
Good job
How much weight is your bag?
Great video!
So what a cheap merino wool top. I'd like to buy some
What happened with the bear archery giveaway y’all were doing?
So when u get a bull, is there still room to pack out some meat or do u leave some of your gear behind?
But what kind of pack did you and Ted get from Cody?
Randy McClellan exo mtn gear
Great video!!! What knife you use?
Boot Guru, I must consult one.
I would love to know what kind of Keens you wear while whitetail hunting.
nice job
So if you get something, do you bungie the head/meat to you backpack on top to get it out? Semi new to hunting. Never went more then a mile out and then just dragged the deer back to the truck. Didnt have to pack it out on my back
If you have a dehydrator you can make your own meals for a fraction of the price.
What kind of tent do you use? I can’t decide what kind to get. I don’t really want to buy a $500 tent, but I don’t want junk either.
Weight of total pack when full? Taking 1st elk trip this coming fall. Ohio whitetail hunter. Thx
I’m looking at doing some public land deer (gun) hunting this November/December, looking at going to Indiana. What state is the most accessible public land you can gun hunt if you’ve never been there before?
What pack is that?
what pack and size dimensions is it???
I will never buy another pair of hunting pants that are not first lite pants. I love mine.
I will cause they are like $200
@@reaganriddle I try to catch them on sale. I would not pay $200 for a pair of pants.
@@burkejones8277 ohhhh ok lol a lot of people pay $400 for Sitka so I just figured it wasn’t much different
@@reaganriddle 140 to 150 regular, but sales are around 120. I don’t think it is possible to be more frugal (cheap, tight, etc.) than me. But I really like these pants. I never have worn a pair of Sitka pants, so I don’t know anything about them other than being very pricey.
@@burkejones8277 lol idk I’m pretty cheap about clothes, I run a $30 pair of pants from walmart
Might have missed it but What pack is that?
Outdoorsman of Michigan exo mtn gear
Allen C thanks for the response. I meant model was what I was getting at.
EXO 4800 Born and Raised Outdoors Signature Series
What kind of tree stands do y’all use on the deer tours?
Awesome & extremely helpful vedio . But I'd like to have a link for all that stuff 😉LOL . I literally need all of that . I'm going to Colorado in Oct for the first time. So yeah I need to know what all to take along !
Wind checker....what happen to Milk Weed?
No milk weed in the mountains... Plus, you are CONSTANTLY checking wind. You'd run out of milk weed in half a day.
Which pack??
I'm looking to go on my first Colorado elk trip in 2021. What items would you make sure you buy quality on? What items can you cut corners on?
I know the reply is outdated, hopefully you got to your hunt! just a random guy here, but I have done this hunt a couple of times. quality items; pack and frame, boots, tent/sleeping pad/sleeping bag, merino wool layering system (must), rain gear, water purifying system. cut corners; pants/jackets, smalls (knives, cooking system, gun/bow (can be an $800 tikka instead of a $2,000 special) - same with scope. look to find pack on rokslide or ebay used. a $600 pack can be found for $200 or less. dont need brand new hats and gloves. use whatever you have. must stay dry though!!
@@ez7977 I appreciate your reply even if it was late! I didn't go on that Colorado trip but I did an unsuccessful Idaho spring bear trip this spring and am aiming to hunt Idaho elk or muley next year. I learned quite a bit since I posted this comment and would agree with what you said!
When is the bow giveaway?
Do you guys have a cheap merino recommendation?
Just subscribed
What is the total weight of the pack? And what brand is that pack?
I haven’t gone elk hunting yet but I bought an inreach to use this October when I go. I was amazed how useful it was when I was deer hunting in areas I don’t have cell service. I love the comfort it gives me that I’ll never be hurt in the woods alone. I actually keep it in my truck at all times just in case. What stuff sack do you use for your jetboil?
What Keens do you wear for whitetail? I had a awesome pair of super soft bottom boots that were marketed towards bow hunters but i cant find them any more.
What brand is your pack?
What’s the brand of pack you have?
What kind of boots were those?
What backpack are you running?
What do you do with the guts when you field dress a deer on public? I’ve been wanting to hunt on public land but I don’t want to leave guts and organs on the ground.
Why not? It will be eaten Very quickly by critters, birds, coyote etc
Coyotes and buzzards will clean it up in no time.
Anyone know who makes that pack Zach is using
