Steve Rinella and Janis Putelis compete to see who can give the hottest tip. Topics covered include drying wet socks and packing grouse arrows. Janis is declared the winner.
Hot Tip: vacuum seal a pair of socks and chonies and keep it in your ruck, they weigh next to nothing and they’ll be dry when you need them even if you go for a dunk. Hot Tip 2: buy some surplus MRE heaters, if you’ve got a wife kids or you’re just in a cold environment they’ll heat up your gear/socks/gloves/ sleeping bag/ food and all you need is about 4table spoons of water to activate it. Put one between your pack and your back and it’ll keep you toasty just make sure you’ve got some layers on or else you’ll get burned. I’ve been in an environment where I was unable to have a fire due to the situation and light discipline, I had 3 heaters pressed against a can and was able to boil some water, and heat my boots and gloves.
Just got my hunter education because of you guys and the meat eater show love yall your getting me out of the house and doing shit again can't wait to start hunting
Of all the crap we carry hunting anyway, why can't we carry a couple of extra pairs of socks? Maybe it's my dislike of feet but something about spreading foot funk to other parts of my body just doesn't sit well. Having been in the military I can tell you you can never have too many socks. Foot health is paramount since when you have nothing else they are the best Cadillacs you'll ever have.
@@GrowYourOwn13 I don't mind wool blends too. They seem to have the same warmth and dry just a little bit quicker maybe. Wool is definitely an outdoorsman's friend though.
On all my hunting, or fishing trips I'll take the time beforehand and pack what the trip calls for... Each trip is unique, packing is different for each one. If your smart, a journal is an important way of documenting the good and bad of each. If your prepared, great things happen! Dont forget your topknot!
My 13 and 15 year old sons and I watch your shows over and over and we love it! Got any tips on hunting cold weather with someone that has Raynauds syndrome? I want to take the boys out but the cold is getting too much for me to hunt when its colder than 50 degrees. Thanks
I always put my grouse arrow in the quiver upside down. Since it doesn't have a sharp point it clearly denotes what I'm reaching for in the heat of the moment.
An upside-down Flu-Flu blunt looks great at the far end of a quiver. The only trick is switching out the broadhead arrow for the blunt without making a ton of motion. I've been FAR too disciplined this year loosing blunts at squirrels.
Haha I don’t believe it! About the socks, that’s one of those things where you want to try it but you know you never will.... unless it’s in my back yard lol.
Beside for different heads how do your grouse arrows differ from your big game arrow? Also what bird/small game/stump shooting arrow heads do you recommend?
Its highly recommended that if you over heat your dogs, to stop at a clear runninand stream and cool down the dogs and give the socks a chance to expel some of the sweat. Too soggy, change them out, with the spare pair!
If an MNR officer catches you in Ontario with a small game broadhead while you are hunting big game you are probably getting fined. For that reason I vote that Steve wins, even though a better tip would just be have an extra pair of socks.
that would depend on if you have a small game license or not, and what small game animals are in season in your WMU. if both of those are in line, then you'll probably be fine
@@shadowa1ien473 the problem is you need to be using a minimum size broadhead when hunting big game, so technically you can't have anything less than that on you. At least that's how it was explained to me when I took the hunting course. If you are allowed to use the same weapon/ammunition it's fine. 🤷♂️
@@jonathancaverly6477 that is true, i'll probably ask a conservation officer his opinion, because to me it would seem kinda foolish to charge someone for that, given a small game head is designed only for small game. Until then i'll just avoid it to be safe
My best method for drying socks is to carry two 500ml nalgenes instead of the single 1000ml. That way I can put boiling water in the bottles and put those in my socks. They can then be used as heaters in your sleeping bag. Between your thighs or under your armpits will dry the socks and keep you snug as a bug
Dont believe that you need to shoot dozens of arrows a day to stay sharp...if the equipment is true and you practice different types of shots and your in decent shape your good. People tend to b.s. about how much you need to shoot your bow.
Where wet socks while sleeping?!?!?! If the goal is to have rotting stumps on the end of your legs and be so cold you cannot sleep, then yea, go ahead and wear wet socks at night. I love you Steve, but that is the worst idea I have ever heard.
Atlas531 It works well for me, always has. Used to fish a small creek everyday up camping. Wore jeans cotton socks and last school years shoes, no waders. Would stand by the fire and dry my shoes and jeans then slept in the same cloths in my bag every night. Shoes inside the old tube tent. Wake up, shoes damp pants and socks dry. Worked in my 4 years of infantry service as well. From Georgia to Kentucky to camp Greaves South Korea. Still do it. No issues
2:50 When Janis was saying his hot tip, I 100% thought he was going to finish his sentence with "second pair of socks"
Hot Tip Off: When two dudes are riding in a rig, nobody should be in the middle seat.
I know a Bob Wilson ?
Steven was not buckled in. Surely he moved over to just get in frame.
@@jonathantate8103 Middle seat only has a waste belt.
Jajajaja......I almost forgot about the golden rule...
@@mightyjoeyoung1390 look about 2/3 through. He ain't belted in.
I think Janis would make a good senator or congressman.

Same, Janis. I have different fletching colors on my "bonus arrow" so I never get them mixed up
Great tips.. Cool format.. you guys rock.
Just got my hunter education because of you guys and the meat eater show love yall your getting me out of the house and doing shit again can't wait to start hunting
Updates?
Of all the crap we carry hunting anyway, why can't we carry a couple of extra pairs of socks?

True wool also
@@GrowYourOwn13 I don't mind wool blends too. They seem to have the same warmth and dry just a little bit quicker maybe. Wool is definitely an outdoorsman's friend though.
@@rogerpemberton79 deff hiked a bit of the Appalachian and wet cold feet are no fun 👍👍
I always bring two sets of socks and briefs on backpacking trips. Very rarely do the second set get used but damn glad they are dry and ready.
Amen, Lt. Dan.
On all my hunting, or fishing trips I'll take the time beforehand and pack what the trip calls for...
Each trip is unique, packing is different for each one.
If your smart, a journal is an important way of documenting
the good and bad of each.
If your prepared, great things happen! Dont forget your topknot!
Thanks Steve!!
Hot tip with the grouse arrow... carry it upside down so the nock is in the quiver instead of the tip.
I've never left the house with my bow, but without a grouse arrow setup
My 13 and 15 year old sons and I watch your shows over and over and we love it! Got any tips on hunting cold weather with someone that has
Raynauds syndrome? I want to take the boys out but the cold is getting too much for me to hunt when its colder than 50 degrees. Thanks
this is great, thanks for sharing.
I always carry an extra pair of socks...
Ya, no kidding. They are super light and take up next to no space in your pack. Silly not to bring an extra pair.
Hot tip, don't wear ANY cotton hunting/fishing/hiking/skiing/. Nothing. If you get warm, you will stay warmer.
What material would you recommend instead?
@@sukhdhatt5202 merino wool dawg
Always have a grouse arrow along. Doing it for years.
Old cal popping out of nowhere! Didn’t see that coming. Good stuff fellas!
Hot tip....make puppets outta wet socks to avoid waking up depressed.
ethaniel bennett I really like your comment
@@amitchell2009 hahaha...puppets make the most sense to me to avoid depression.
Good job boys! I usually end up with 3or4 grousers a year

I have flu flu fetching on my grouse arrows. Easy to tell by feel
My grouse arrow is always a fluflu (areal shot option)
Tip: if you think there to slow rip off three of the six feathers
I always have carried a grouse arrow. And a second pair of incase one gets short taken lol
Haha I don’t believe it! About the socks, that’s one of those things where you want to try it but you know you never will.... unless it’s in my back yard lol.
Tom Schumacher get out more!
Love how Callahan just pops up outta nowhere lol
That's not Callahan lol
@@MadeinUSA4 he's a callahan...
Steve, that cowlick on the left side of your head. Lets get that fixed up! lol
Beside for different heads how do your grouse arrows differ from your big game arrow? Also what bird/small game/stump shooting arrow heads do you recommend?
Also different fletching, often called flu flu fletching.
It's called a blunt tip. Looks like a rubber cylinder
@@ajvv100 Can you shoot stumps with a judo? My local place doesn't sell them so I've never used them.
Do an interview with Callahan
@Chris WNC when defining creepy @Google results as @ChrisWNC
Email Account bruh chill your coming off really creepy
There’s an old saying that cotton kills never wear cotton socks when your hunting or fishing
Steve is s my number one man on hunting
Seth - "PEAKABOO!"
My hot tip to wet socks are no socks. 😎✋🏽🎤
That's why mixed quivers are illegal in some states
Hot tip. Baby Callahan in the back seat.
Its highly recommended that if you over heat your dogs, to stop at a clear runninand stream and cool down the dogs and give the socks a chance to expel some of the sweat. Too soggy, change them out, with the spare pair!
Dry your socks with the campfire?
Mmmmmm, country-fried grouse.
Did you guys kidnap the UPS guy?
You could probably go into more detail. Get really deep with those hot tips.
Who is that with the question in the back seat? Is that pounder? Just trying to put a face to the voices I hear in my head all day.
That isnt even Callihan! Hes got a doppleganger! Its that other mark guy or whatever his name is, the cut of his stache had me fooled.

Turn it upside down! Thats what I do!
Pack more socks?

They can then be used as heaters in your sleeping bag. Between your thighs or under your armpits will dry the socks and keep you snug as a bug
My hot Tip is a quarter in a fire.
??
It's a joke you tip someone a quarter hot tip quarter in a fire never mind
Oooorrrr bring more socks than days x2 takes up 0 space and nota for weight.
Take extra socks... your welcome
Nope. Nick your buddy’s extra socks and say you got confused. He won’t respect you in the morning, but no one else does either, so, yeah.
Never sleep in your clothes. What’s the over /under on the number of comments that say the same. Wool is the hot tip
Why no seatbelts?
Janis is wearing his. Steve probably figures he doesn't need one since he has Trichinosis anyway. 😂
Steve's is probably around his waist since he sits in the middle seat.
SOCK TALK
Dont believe that you need to shoot dozens of arrows a day to stay sharp...if the equipment is true and you practice different types of shots and your in decent shape your good.
People tend to b.s. about how much you need to shoot your bow.
Hot tip: never jump on a bike without a seat
Rookies, join Marine Corps find out how to truly fuk up your feet :/
Hydrophilic, not hydrophobic
Sorry it wicks moisture away from a sock , there for hydrophilic
He’s talking about the down bag not the sock.

Your face needs more camera time
If your feet are wet buy better boots.
