I have commented this so many times I hate to do so again. The video quality and information you get from gritty is second to none.
We just got back from our first DIY backcountry hunt...and we thrived thanks to your videos! I may have been a walking gritty billboard in the colorado mountains...but we didnt see anyone else lol! Thanks for what you do!
Love these pack dumps. I've replaced several pieces of my gear with stuff you've recommended. You're demanding of your gear, and I have found your recommendations trustworthy. Keep 'em coming. Love that little wood stove behind you!
Thanks Brian great video love the way you inform your viewers about different products you tell it like it is. great stuff
Thank you for the insights. Nothing but quality!
Thank you for the gear break down! Very helpful!
Been following for years and love the quality of your video.
Fantastic video! Thanks Brian!!!
Thank you for providing these videos! You guys introduced me to Peax, Dark energy, and grakksaw! great gear for the back country!
Good stuff! Quite a few things in here we will be adding to the gear list for sure. Thanks Gritty crew.
Outstanding!
What about a review of the trailer you are in.....
Working on a trailer review/build episode. 👍🏼
I was about to comment this.
Same here. Would love to see the build but also how you could use it for road hunting!
I agree, I was sidetracked trying to check out that wood stove setup.
@@andrewhoward8603 I spent a couple nights in a toy hauler couple weeks ago while out elk hunting and thought a small wood stove like that would be great
oh man the winner of this is getting HOOKED UP.
Wonderful info. thank you for sharing, this will help me tremendously gearing up for next year!
What a great and informative video.
Got to say, I’d put the Argali CarbonX poles with their QuickShot Adapter up against any trekking poles on the market though.
Coming from a 68 year old...I love listening to your podcasts. Tons of info without the "mercial". LOL Of course I've followed you for a few years now. The best collaboration of content making me feel as though I'm right next to you and the crew. Keep up the great work!
Thanks!!!
ThKs Brian, most of us out here don’t have money to blow and it is nice to know what works best and outing. Just so you, I’m not able to do one of these hunts packing in but I have a son-in-law who loves to hunt. I look for useful and good solid equipment for him. So I build these list from those who knows what works and not biased. Some of this equipment I want but a lot of it is for him or my friends who are able to use this equipment. Good to know and thanks again! God bless and keep on keeping on. Hope to meet ya one day brother.
Thanks for the info
F@#$%@% brilliant tip on using those trekking poles to assist with skinning!! I have that exact setup.
Great list! Killer tips on multi use of trekking poles and the Flextail! The ONLY item I would challenge you on is the MTN OPS Battleground hoodie. I love it but found it doesn’t do well as a top layer if you are wearing a pack. The parts that contact the backpack shoulder straps - chest, shoulder, or back - showed wear for me after only a couple hikes. Otherwise, it’s a solid piece of gear.👍🏾
These are always the best videos. I ordered the pump for the sleeping pad, i have been debating getting one but you sold me on it dude. Hope its quiet! Thanks for the 15% discount code. Happy New Year Brian
You’ll love it. Thanks for supporting us as well. It is very appreciated.
Outstanding information. My wife absolutely cringes when i watch a Gritty gear review.
This disease of hunting cannot be controlled, its a monster and must be fed😁
😂😂😂
Flextail zero is like 1.8 ounces. Saves 2 ounces and I like the cr123. Fits steripen, my fenix headlamp and charges nicely from bat pack and have the option for non rechargeable for backups. Your channel is legit. You clearly have been there and done that.
I’m definitely going to have to pick a few of these items up I’ve been using the argali high country game bags and fell in love with them I’ve used them for 4 elk and 6 deer but truest fantastic and the most durable I’ve used I’d love to see you try the born and raised game bags though so we can see your view on them
Let’s gooo!!!!
Thanx
Great content as always! You may have done so in the past, but Id love to see you do a video showing how you pack your gear into and on your pack. This is a lot more gear than ive used in the past, but im only doing sept archery hunts. And it already feels heavy! Be interesting to see how you assemble and organize everything. Sorry Brian! I see now you mention doing a separate video on that toward the end of the video.
We will be doing a video down the road on exactly what you're talking about. We think it will be very useful for many people.
Brian you would of made a great car salesman my man!
I've been using the Flextail for public land duck hunting to blow up my inflatable boat for 2 seasons now, and it's been awesome. I used to hike in a giant pump and this thing pumps up the 3 chambers in nearly the same amount of time. When I first opened it, I was actually concerned it wouldn't be able to do it because of the size, but it handles it like a champ. Nice to see other guys using it for hunting purposes as well. I bet hunters is a segment they never thought of for their products.
That's awesome! Totally agree--that pump is way more useful than the hunting industry to predict.
27:05 Like a leaf blower in your bbq pit.😉
I like that shirt 🔥🔥
What do you think of doing an edc gear list? I know you guys are a hunting channel, but might be a cool idea once hunting season is over.
When you said " for those of you who follow, you know I've had problems with airpads" pedro was watching from Spain just laughing his ass off.haahahahahahaha
He’s a bad hombre! LOL
Nice, video. I like to see backpack loadouts with personal experiences on everything inside. One thing I like to keep in my pack with me anytime i can get into a sticky situation is an inreach. Most guys in AK dont leave the house without em. Id imagine you already have one, but that SOS button would be a god send to anyone in need of it in a bad spot. Merry xmas, happy hunting to all.🤟
Thanks brother. I agree, the InReach is imperative. I always carry my Garmin InReach on my chest rig/bino harness.
22:59 "You can build forts with it." Harkening back to childhood.😁
Men are just semi-grown boys.
Hey Brian love your gear vids! Was wondering your thoughts on the Crispi Shimek insulated? Thank you and Merry Christmas!
I haven’t tested them out yet, but I think they will be a great boot. Adding just a little insulation can go a long way, but still having a light weight boot is nice.
Hey Gritty, my feet sweat like crazy in any boot/sock combo I’ve ever tried. What socks and how many pair would you recommend for a 3-5 day Idaho spring bear hunt?
Currently running Crispi Idaho II GTX and the guide GTX - UA Hitch 3.0 socks, by the end of the day I can’t wait to get the socks off my feet.
Hey Brian you should look into the new Flextail pump, its called ZERO PUMP.
I’ll check it out!
the grakksaw bags shown here, are they the reg size or the xl?
Looking forward to a reputable company making a good steripen
Looking forward to your battery pack shootout. Imkind of a battery pack nut
great review, thanx. some of this gear ganna go to ukrainian defenders
Man looking at that kuiu set of down puffies its super sharp in black compared to my stylish shiny stone set, love mine tho works great up here... just wish I didn't look like the tinman from wizard of Oz.
I know, the SG is so shiny! The KUIU is better but both get the job done.
Awesome gear dump! Curious what size your super down pro coat is.
I run a size large. I'm 5'10" and around 195-200lbs.
Cool trailer! Do you have a video about it?
After years of slowly buying, I think I’ve finally gotten a gear list like yours. Now I’m broke and my wife wants to divorce me!! 😂 great video man, stay Gritty
Thanks for the vid! Will the Tricer work with a Swaro btx or is it too light?
It will work. Brad here and I threw on Jeremiah's BTX on the Tricer head on the sheep hunt. Works great. That is also what Drew from Tricer uses for his setup.
Been wanting to see inside your trailer for a while. Which stove is that? Doing a build on a hunting trailer right now and next is a wood stove is a must over a dumb propane one. Let me know! Thanks for the content!
We will have a video dropping soon on the build out of the trailer. The stove I am running is the Grizzly Cubic Mini stove.
@@GrittyGearAndPodcastSweet!
Thanks for going over everything in the giveaway and some testimonials on each. Makes me want to buy a Peax shirt and a second spoon 🥄 in hopes that this aspiring western hunter can win. Plus I might pick up a couple items even if I don’t. God bless and Merry early Christmas 🎄
Have you compared the mountain ops merino to kuiu? I have kuiu and have not even thought about trying anything different since, that puffy set is awsome ive had mine for 4 years now, proper layers it handle ND sub zero weather
Hey Brad, I haven't used the KUIU in a couple of years. I'll try the KUIU later this year and see how it compares. I'm still shocked by how good the MTN OPS Battlerground merino is. I've used First Lite, Sitka, and countless other brands of merino base layers and that OPS merino stacks up better. But my KUIU merino is old. I'll try a new one and see how it holds up.
what would you recommed, the stone glacier puffy or the kuiu? I believe in one of your videos you said the grummen is the same weight as the ultra, but the same amount of insulation as the super down.
I greatly prefer the KUIU Super Down to the SG Gummen. I like the matt finish of the KUIU, the cut, and the exterior material, which is less prone to getting snagged and getting holes in it. And the KUIU Super Down just feels warmer too. But all that said, you can't go wrong with either jacket.
Yeah my rechargeable steri pen doesn't stay charged. Original one works great.
Yes, the last Ultralight Steripen we bought for my dad didn't work. We ordered a replacement and the replacement didn't work. We ordered a 3rd UL Steripen and it works like a champ. Not sure what's going on with Steripen, the failure rate has always been bad but the failure rate in the last couple of years seems to have skyrocketed.
Brian you are a walking talking commercial, but all solid gear.
Do you shoot off the tricer?
That's a question for Ryan and Brad. Generally, we get prone whenever possible and don't shoot off of tripods. However, in places like Kodiak a tripod is brilliant. I see no reason why the Tricer wouldn't do a great job as a shooting platform.
Curious if you have tried a quilt such as Katabatic? Cut about 10oz for equivalent in a sleeping bag.
Brad here. I have been using the Enlightened Equipment quilt for years. I have been super happy with the performance of it and the ability to stay warm in temps below zero, yet also open it up during the hot summer months. There are some great things coming down the pipeline that are far superior to my quilt. I love that thing and the weight to performance ratio, but our new sleep system is again far superior.
@@GrittyGearAndPodcast Brad! Does the forthcoming sleep system have a hood like a mummy bag?
Brian, have you demoed the zero pump from flextail?
I have not yet, but I have been curious.
I ordered one, so once I receive it I’ll give you some feedback. I wanted to try the lighter version. 🇺🇸
Whew, ok, you finally moved your hand. For the first couple minutes I thought you’d cut off most of your finger. That thing looked just like the hand of all the old oil rig dudes.
Ive spotted that Peax sleeping bag in some of your other videos. Is that going into production? Im in the market for a sleeping bag but i can wait.....Should i wait? Or should i go stone glacier 🤔
Wait. You won’t be disappointed. I promise.
@@GrittyGearAndPodcast Copy that. I appreciate the reply. I'm sure peax won't dissapoint.
Kuiu over SG puffy?
Yes. The KUIU puffy is superior to the SG. But the SG pack is superior to the KUIU in my opinion. The KUIU puffy gear is not as reflective, warmer with similar loft, and the exterior is more durable--especially the pant. Each company has their specialty and KUIU makes the superior puffy clothing.
His pack must weight a ton
Our 10 day pack weight starts out around 55-58 pounds. We then add about 15-20 pounds of camera gear. This is all before we add water into the mix.
Brian! Dude! You’re the man!
