- After a fantastic trip away in the Victorian High Country chasing Sambar Deer I thought it was time to delve into the gear we took with us. What worked and what didn't and in this first video I talk about the basics of Backpacks, Tents and general camping gear we used.
Tent wise I’ve used a nature hike snow tent and it was under 300 and it’s worked a treat in heavy rain and snow.
Thanks for the feedback Jarrod. Always nice to keep up with new gear as it is a continual evolving.
I think it's absolutely disgusting that you have the 13000 views and 244 thumbs up
You make an absolutely world-class content but don't get the support
You and into the mountains
And others make absolutely amazing videos how about people start supporting and giving thumbs
Keep up the amazing videos brother I support you 150%
Cheers Pete but it certainly doesn't concern me. It's just our little way of giving back to the hunting community. Thanks again for your support
Thank you brother keep up the great work are you planning on doing hunting videos during the
Been using these videos as a bible planning our next hunt Steve, from a novice hunter thanks so much for putting in the time to make them. P.S looking forward to some new videos. Safe hunting. Chris
Pleasure Chris. I hope they have been of some guidance but don't be afraid to continually change and adapt as your needs change. Stay tuned for some more upcoming videos.
excellent series - thanks for the info
Thankyou
Great run down Steve, will keep this info as a reference for next trip, thanks for sharing.
No problems Hank
Steve, hows the goodie 2 going? Looking at dropping the hammer on one. Details for purchase would be great pretty please🙏👍😀.
Still going strong mate and they have improved a few things on them since I bought mine. A couple of extra ground fixings at each end of the fly to help keep it off the inner. The center fixing between the two main poles has also been revamped as it could break if you twisted it the wrong way. I'm not sure what they are worth now and most likely still have a few options but mine certainly has done me well for both hunting and touring on the motorbike.
Thanks Steve,@@BoltActionProductions
I ended up going with the kuiu storm star...I would've preferred to go Aussie made but the sale on the kuiu was ridiculously good considering they're going head to head with the top tier brands.
Thank your for the reply.
@@PRCRED I seen that Kuiu sale and I think you’ve made a great choice with that tent. Let me know how it goes 👍👍
Fantastic series. Good to have someone doing a good run down of your gear. I've now got the bug to give it ago
Good onya James. Have a go and I am sure the bug will bite deeper. More videos to follow over the next few days
Thanks for the awesome video series.
Glad you enjoyed the videos Adam
Another good lot of info/insight steve. Lots for ppl to take away n think about
Thanks mate. I am surprised you are not sick of my voice by now. LOL. I struggle to watch my own videos most of the time.
Bolt-Action Productions haha i had some time to kill waiting for kids ballet
Understandable. So your not the only one that wears tights in the family.
Bolt-Action Productions legging tights rock !
Good work mate, it's always interesting to see what other people take and can save a lot of pain at the business end if you get this right. I was lucky to have a good mentor in this department from the start. Looking forward to the next installment👍
Cheers PJ. Both you and I are lucky to share the same mentor with much of what I speak over this series being relayed advice from a very passionate deer hunter.
Great review of your gear buddy.
Thanks mate. More to follow
Great Stuff again... Thanks Steve. Other tent options could be wilderness equipment space 2/winter, it seems to be a good option and haven't had the condensation issue mentioned. They also seem to make some robust Packs. Cactus gear out of NZ also a great option for HD packs...
Thanks mate. The choice of gear is definitely endless and only as deep as your wallets are. Hilleberg are another fantastic brand for the extremes but One Planet as a company are also hunter friendly. I can't say this for all companies.
Good stuff🤙🏽
Cheers Mate
Thanks for the great series of videos, just wondering what temp rating sleeping bags you where all using?
I am looking at a -15 but it might be too warm. Any thoughts?
I was using a Kathmandu Polaris which is rated to around -10 if my memory serves me well. Better to be a little warmer than the other way round but I think you will find it will be fine. A good goose down bag will just keep your body warmth in and you shouldn't get hot especially in the winter. Don't get too caught up in the ratings. Have a good look at the construction of the bag which includes the baffles, zips, waterproofing etc. There are plenty of good bags available and some good bargains to be had if you are patient.
Good review mate 👍 maby do 1 for the budget minded sort as well u seem to have all the good stuff sorted be good to see ya thoughts on some cheaper gear
Over this upcoming series I do try an mention cheaper options like I did with my pack. With most of this gear you get what you pay for and the only other option to buy good gear at a reduced price is to look for that item secondhand. Buying new stuff cheap usually costs you somewhere down the line and is really false economy.
Bolt-Action Productions definitely agree with u there. i just see other youtubers do it, i think it works well for showing why u spend the better money on things the first time round it goes like that for most things in life👍
I tend to do things my way and can be pretty stubborn. I don't really see myself as a youtuber rather a hunter that just shares his passion via video. RUclips just happens to be the conduit at this stage. Wait until you have watched the whole series as I do offer some cheaper alternatives where I believe they will do the job. I maybe stubborn but I always listen so once the whole series of videos are up I will peruse all feedback and work from there. Thanks for the input mate.
Bolt-Action Productions no worries mate ya do a top job u just bein ya self is why most of us love ya channel no bs good stuff and keep em comin mate
Hey mate great end to the series. I've got the bug even worse now living on the door step of the vic alps I can't wait. Just one question is your rifle a take down I just didn't see you carting it in by hand? Do you prefer not to carry your rifle , it's something I've been thinking about while planning my backpack hunt.
Cheers mate and yes the rifle I took in is a take-down. You can find more info here if you are interested ruclips.net/video/FMwXn6wl8nI/видео.html. If it were only me hiking in I would have carried my rifle in hand but Ben had this covered with his Black Bear 9.3
Great review, all good gear, but there is a lot I would leave home to save weight.
Thanks Mal and yes I totally agree.
