Good luck! How do you keep your peanut butter crackers from getting all smooshed up? Love those things,always have them in daypack while hunting . I don't bring them backpacking because they turn into mushy crumbs.they get a little broken but not totally smashed usually. even so, ill eat them every time. one of the few foods i pack i can say that about. i pack all my food in quart zip locks (daily) and then load that kifaru mega pull out. its kind of the right shape to not get smashed i think. last year i was able to pack a bag of ruffles in without them getting crushed, but that was august weekend hunt and i didn't have a ton of gear.

Kitkats & Twix are awesome on colder hunts....but i hate when they get melted....no high end fancy super bars or gels ??
Those stinger products sure can give a guy a boost

I went to the energy shots for awhile from coffee. It was always perfect timing for when I would just arrive at my ambush spots ... if you know what I mean. Ended the season with trying to not take anything in the morning. Just never really felt like I was getting a boost at all ... seemed more mental than anything. Good hydration usually makes me feel 100x better than any coffee or energy drink. I did a few years of overnight shifts during and after college. Started drinking coffee at the first break, and 3rd break and always just felt tired and *censored*ty. Went to drinking water or nothing and there was a huge difference.

Wow, you must be conditioned for ultra low calories. One column might get me to lunch. Awesome set up other than the food. :chuckle:

Who has the tag? First trip with the Hunter platform? Have a great time. Send reports. Wenaha? If yes, then jealous.another member has the tag. not sure if he'll make a thread or anything. yep, wenaha again. im going to run the arrows in my frame so essentially the UL platform. we'll see how it does. in my testing/training, 65lbs seems to be the upper end of comfort for them, but our packout shouldnt be too bad. we'll send updates to ya :hello:

Thanks for posting, I always like seeing others' setup. Nothing like the confidence to buy something or shed something

How do you like the Pelton 240? Been looking at possibly buying one?i really like the 240. for me, its the perfect addition to my kit. i had been running around in my puffy jacket too much and this fills that need nicely. its proven pretty durable so far, the wenaha tends to be pretty hard on gear..
