Your grandfather's cuff is awesome. My grandfather came out to visit me from Tennessee a few years back. Going fishing with him during that time was pretty much the last time that he knew who I was, before the dementia really set in. He died a year ago Dec and I take his fishing license with me on my hunting trips. It means a lot to me. 👊
Nice gear review. Its always good to see someone who isn't just hawking gear, that they really don't use and depend on, just because it was given to them. Ya gotta respect that. 👍🇺🇸
Pretty down to earth. These gear lists are very much environment, trip and personality dependent. We all get in our rhythm, however never take safety for granted. Fire, water, food, shelter & physical/emotional well being have to be sustainable. No your limits!
Nice to see at least one good medical kit highlighted. Can’t stress enough the med kit isn’t what should go to save weight. Been enjoying all the gear dumps!
I normally don’t need a pack where I hunt but been planning a long trip and hope to do it in a couple years or so, glad mentioned a first aid kit. So many people I talk to say they aren’t needed but I always have a smaller aid kit in a pant pocket so even if leave or lose my pack still have something on me.
I'm a huge gear junky so it's super nice to see all these bag dumps and all the differences in gear you all use! I've got a few ideas already of some new gear I'd like to check out and try. I'm constantly working on my kit and always looking for things to make things better and or lighter.
I started carrying a pack 2 years ago but they are just day hunts, that is a lot could imagine packing out an elk with all that gear. But as always I have to hand it to you guys, always a good show.
Great bag dump. I'm right there with you Corey. The older I get, the more I want to be as comfortable as possible and will pack in a little extra weight to be comfortable. I need a new tent and will look into that one.
Learned a long time ago, if you get cold at night, if they are dry just wear your boots...mostly it's just dirt in the sleeping bag and easily shook out...and you practically never get cold Nice to see all the gear
Cool Video. I find it very useful to watch what other people have packed for their hunts. its a great way to get ideas to improve your personal setup. I totally understand the getting cold easily deal with you. My wife is the same way. One HUGE aspect to any sleep system is the fact that you can have a sleeping bag that is rated for super low temps, but if you dont have a proper sleeping pad you will still freeze. unless you are sleeping in the dead heat of the summer where it doesnt get below 60 degrees at night you need a pad that has a higher R-value. when laying in your bag you compress the insulation and in order to maintain its heat retention properties it needs loft. This is where a pad with an appropriate R-value comes into play. I typically shoot for a pad with a value around 3-4. if there is a chance of freezing temps then a pad with a value higher than 4 is best. also when in freezing temps dopnt use your breath to inflate the pad. the moisture in your breath will freeze inside the pad and create another insulation problem. I hope this may help. Keep it up.
Corey, another great series…This year (22) can you do a ‘cameraman’ John ‘Gear Dump’?!? I think it’d be interesting to see just how much John is carrying day in and day out…Just a thought and good luck this season! 👊🏻🏹
Good stuff. Peax gator’s are hands down bullet proof and if you have not tried an exo pack they are worth there weight in gold and then some. Best pack I have ever used. Thanks for sharing Cory
Hmm, I like the Sitka tarp, I would use it as my sole shelter even for sleeping if it is big enough. I really like this channel, I hope you are doing the special hunt Donnie and you do every year.
Somewhat gear dump related: I would like to hear you and Donnie do a video talking about motorcycle elk hunting. It’s pretty easy to throw your gear on the back of a four wheeler or a Ranger. What are some key points a person should be looking at if they are doing it from a motorcycle versus a four wheeler.
I was really hoping that you would share about the bow hanger/hook that you have on the waist belt of your pack. Is that something that you fabricated yourself and if so can you provide information on it?
Corey, would you please tell me where you found the bow hook you have on the waist band of your pack? I love how you can stow your bow while you call. I would love to get my hands on one, but I've never been able to figure out where you got it or who makes it. I've even read elk hunting forums of other people asking the same question, but no one seems to know. Thanks for the info if you get a chance!
Awesome stuff Corey, thanks for doing these this year! How 'bout convincing those Peax guys to make the gaiters in ANY earth color other than 'sticks out like an outhouse in a snowbank black with a bright gold foot strap"?!
Great info! I like seeing what gear you all use and carry. Didn't see any bear spray. Are there grizzlies in that part of Idaho? Always good to be aware of the predators in the back country. Thanks for all the great episodes!
Nicely done Corey! Mind sharing what type of calls you use? I have my favorites but love they way you use yours and would like to try them. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Awesome stuff Corey! Like the gear dump, my question is the arrow u have as a tape dispenser a special arrow? I like that idea for using my arrow off my first bull from years ago
So you did actually invest in a medical kit...LOL. Did you add to the stock first aid kit in that bag, or was it purchased and used off the shelf and fairly complete/comprehensive? Curious which brand/model you went with. I remember when you did a gear dump and went minimalist on the first aid, and ironically needed some gear in an actual emergency. Also very glad that you shared that experience with the group. Its certainly an eye opener.....I carry a DIY first aid kit that weighs right around 14 oz. One tip that I found useful.....keeping it accessible on the outside of my pack in an easy to reach location so its quick to get when needed.
Awesome gear dump. I can’t say enough good things about the Peax gaiters. Hunting for Washington Rosevelts can and will destroy pant legs and cheap gaiters.
I have a similar looking first aid kit (mine is the sportsman 200 by adventure medical kits) and have been considering customizing it. I haven't needed it yet but I still take it on every hunt
Hi Corey, I was thinking about trying the Zamberlan Vioz boot this upcoming elk season. Do you use insole inserts in your boots as well or are the factory boots sufficient?
Surprised you don’t keep your Tourniquet in your Exo top bag! With a serious arterial cut you can bleed to death in 2 minutes…but you’ll pass out long before that due to shock. (Solo hunting, walking down or traversing the long blowdowns…how many of those sharp broken branches call your name?!)

Thanks Corey for the gear dump. Glad you covered your tent and sleeping system. Never thought of the using an arrow piece for tapes, very interesting.
I really appreciate you sharing what you use because it works, not because of sponsorship. I respect that for sure and appreciate what you do! 👊🏻
Thanks for sharing I enjoy the gear dumps.
Nice gear review. Its always good to see someone who isn't just hawking gear, that they really don't use and depend on, just because it was given to them. Ya gotta respect that. 👍🇺🇸
All these reminders and the series your doing is gold!
Thanks for the pack dump. Helpful to see what other people bring.
Pretty down to earth. These gear lists are very much environment, trip and personality dependent. We all get in our rhythm, however never take safety for granted. Fire, water, food, shelter & physical/emotional well being have to be sustainable.
No your limits!
Nothing like a good deep backcountry camp. Thanks for the info Corey. I'm already excited for tonight's episode.
Good to see the recommendation for the first aid kit!
Nice to see at least one good medical kit highlighted. Can’t stress enough the med kit isn’t what should go to save weight. Been enjoying all the gear dumps!
And the bag dump I've been waiting for!
Excellent footage men. Congrats on that bull. You two are the real deal. Always enjoy watching you guys and team 101 hunt.

Nice gear dump! This is a great addition to the series. And the shopping list gets longer!

Thanks for doing these videos! It's great to see the different gear that you and others use

Great pack bump Cory, really like seeing what's in the packs you all carry
Thanks for sharing Corey!

It great watching and learning from you
Thanks for the gear dump!
Wait. What? A trip to Alaska? Destination Moose, maybe? Appreciate the run down of your load out.
Corey, would you please tell me where you found the bow hook you have on the waist band of your pack? I love how you can stow your bow while you call. I would love to get my hands on one, but I've never been able to figure out where you got it or who makes it.

Really good review/ bag dump these are really interesting
love the tent
Thanks for the bag dump!
Awesome stuff Corey, thanks for doing these this year! How 'bout convincing those Peax guys to make the gaiters in ANY earth color other than 'sticks out like an outhouse in a snowbank black with a bright gold foot strap"?!
Seems more like what I would pack. Im very interested in the sleeping set up.
Not sure if we need to respond to the gear dump videos but always interesting to see what everybody packs.
Great info! I like seeing what gear you all use and carry. Didn't see any bear spray. Are there grizzlies in that part of Idaho? Always good to be aware of the predators in the back country. Thanks for all the great episodes!
Great gear video.
The trash bag to put the meat bags in so your pack doesn't get all bloody is a great idea.
Corey. Great video. Where can I find the bugle tube cover with the zipper pouch?
Nicely done Corey! Mind sharing what type of calls you use? I have my favorites but love they way you use yours and would like to try them. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Thanks bud!
Awesome stuff Corey! Like the gear dump, my question is the arrow u have as a tape dispenser a special arrow? I like that idea for using my arrow off my first bull from years ago
Sweet rundown! What is the bag you keep your kill kit in?
First aid kit should be instantly accessible is. I hope it at that bottom of the pack is still one reach in handy.
So you did actually invest in a medical kit...LOL. Did you add to the stock first aid kit in that bag, or was it purchased and used off the shelf and fairly complete/comprehensive? Curious which brand/model you went with. I remember when you did a gear dump and went minimalist on the first aid, and ironically needed some gear in an actual emergency.

One tip that I found useful.....keeping it accessible on the outside of my pack in an easy to reach location so its quick to get when needed.
Didn't notice any shovels to bury that used business paper lol
With all that gear how many trips in did it take with the motor bikes;) thanks for the gear dumps and great season so far!!
Nice video
I'd love to see all that gear in the pack. I use a EXO BRO 4800 and I was having a hard time fitting half the gear that you have.
He had it in the Exo 6400
Thanks for doing that pack dump. What brand is that first aid kit and where did you get it?
Awesome gear dump. I can’t say enough good things about the Peax gaiters. Hunting for Washington Rosevelts can and will destroy pant legs and cheap gaiters.
good stuff! Did that first aid kit come with all those supplies or did you put it together yourself? Also what brand is it? thanks!
I have a similar looking first aid kit (mine is the sportsman 200 by adventure medical kits) and have been considering customizing it. I haven't needed it yet but I still take it on every hunt
Can you comment on the hook you are using to carry your bow?? Can’t see it on elk101 site…
Ive thought about buying the sitka trap.. How durable is it compared to a regular trap?
One thing I never leave home without is a tick key to remove ticks
Do you have anything on camping for a hunt off dirtbikes?
Thanks Corey for low down on your gear.
Hi Corey, I was thinking about trying the Zamberlan Vioz boot this upcoming elk season. Do you use insole inserts in your boots as well or are the factory boots sufficient?
Never go cheap on med kits. Mine is big, but I don't want to "wish I had packed it."
My food potions need to be portioned better. Always find myself starving out in the field
How about you hugs also do your bow builds! What you shoot preferred brand, draw weight, arrows that kind of stuff
what boots you got on ?
Zamberlan 996 VIOZ
Surprised you don’t keep your Tourniquet in your Exo top bag! With a serious arterial cut you can bleed to death in 2 minutes…but you’ll pass out long before that due to shock. (Solo hunting, walking down or traversing the long blowdowns…how many of those sharp broken branches call your name?!)

Agreed. Please provide info on the hook. Corey or anyone!
