Can't wait to hear how the hunt goes and a review on how your gear choices worked out. Thanks for another great video and podcast.

Like the who shoots first answer. A lot of my same thought process. 💪🏻

Great podcast. Very interesting on how much you have to think about what you pack. Can’t wait to see the hunt and hear how it goes

[@MindfulHunter]

The Argali Absoroka is badass, I have several nights in it. With or without the liner and have used the stove.
For boxers - look at Saxx Quest 2.0 I will wear a pair for the duration of any hunt.
I just booked a BC Goat hunt for this year, so the timing of this podcast was perfect!

Hi Jay,
Another great podcast mate.
I am looking into the Leupold 2800 TBR Rangefinder but was wondering if you had any suggestions. Will you be sticking with your RX 1200?
TIA Keep up the great work

[@MindfulHunter]

1200 is enough for me. I don’t do any crazy long distance stuff

[@austindavis2473]

how are you keeping your feet warm with a 50 degree quilt? Are you wear normal socks or do your bring some sort of down booties? Or do your feet just not get cold?

[@MindfulHunter]

Feet rarely get cold. I’d put my socks on if I had to. When I do deep winter hunts I bring down booties.

[@HardwayAlaska]

Who wears crocs hunting 😂

[@mikerobinson6606]

I take mine religiously! Getting out of your boots at the end of the day is amazing, and they weight less than nothing. That would be my one comfort item over a good coffee mug or a pillow.

100% can come in handy for creek crossings too
