tyler79+FollowWhat old hunting gear should come back?Canvas water bladders! Soak the outside and evaporation keeps your water ice cold all day. Way better than plastic bottles heating up in your pack. I've ditched all my plastic containers after learning about chemical leaching. Even "BPA-free" stuff has plastic linings. These old canvas bladders are bulletproof and actually work better than modern hydration systems. Anyone else miss the old gear? #hunting #vintagehunting #HuntingGear #NaturalMaterials234Share

Eric Ford+FollowHow I picked the right air rifle for huntingFinally ready to pull the trigger on an air rifle for small game hunting but feeling overwhelmed by all the options. Did some research and here's what I've learned so far: Key things to consider: foot-pounds of energy (fpe) at muzzle, effective range, and accuracy. .177 vs .22 caliber seems to be the big debate - .177 has more penetration with lighter pellets building more kinetic energy. Also looking at scope options since accuracy is crucial for ethical kills. For those who've made the jump - what caliber do you recommend for squirrels and rabbits? #hunting #airrifle #hunting #huntinggear8415Share
tyler79+Followthis knife gets me through entire deer processingBeen using my Outdoor Edge for years now and honestly can't imagine switching. One blade handles the whole process - field dressing, skinning, everything. That's efficiency right there. Never bothered with the gut hook feature, but those longer blades that lock open? Perfect for butchering. What I love most is how compact it stays while giving you razor-sharp performance. Quick blade changes mean I'm spending more time processing and less time fighting dull steel. Anyone else swear by replaceable blade systems? #hunting #outdoors #huntinggear #huntingknives00Share
tyler79+FollowMy $600 boots saved my Washington coyote huntLast December I was coyote hunting on a plateau in SE Washington when 50 mph winds hit with freezing rain. Walking 2 miles back in the dark, I realized my gear investments had paid off - I was perfectly comfortable while nature tried to destroy me. Real talk: You don't NEED much. Rifle, scope, ammo. You can wear surplus gear and save money. But there are 3 things I'll never cheap out on again: 1️⃣ Boots - Kenetrek Mountain Extreme 400s ($600). Get properly fitted at an orthopedic store. These kept my feet dry and warm in brutal conditions. 2️⃣ Headlamp - Fenix HM60R with rechargeable battery and red light. Pack two batteries and you're set for days. 3️⃣ Knives - Minimum 2, maximum sharp. I carry 3: camp knife (Leatherman Signal), skinner/gutter, and boning knife (Benchmade Tagged Out). Pro tip: get blaze orange handles - you'll thank me when you're field dressing in low light. Being miserable on a hunt is optional these days. You spend time and money getting out there - don't let cheap gear ruin it. What's your "never skimp" gear item? #hunting #HuntingGear #huntingboots #backcountryhunting248Share
tyler79+FollowDon’t hunt birds with a crossbow 🏹🚫Honestly wouldn't recommend a crossbow for small game or birds - you'll be breaking bolts left and right and it's overkill. BB gun or pellet rifle is way more practical and cheaper to shoot. Also check your local laws first! Some places have restrictions on crossbow hunting depending on season and game type. #hunting #pelletgun #SmallGameHunting #HuntingTips #HuntingGear101Share
tyler79+Followscent control products are a total scam!Unpopular opinion: the hunting industry convinced us we need $300 worth of scent eliminators when wind direction and basic hygiene work just fine. Grandpa never used any of this stuff and still outshot us all. Change my mind. #hunting #deerhunting #scentcontrol #huntinggear1619Share
