BRANDS THAT WE SUPPORT AND USE IN THE FIELD
INITIAL ASCENT PACKS
When it comes to hauling heavy loads in the mountains, nothing compares to the comfort and durability of an Initial Ascent pack system. We’ve trusted IA on hunts from Idaho to Alaska because the frame actually carries weight the way it should. stable, balanced, and built for real backcountry abuse. If you’re tired of packs that feel good in the store but fail under meat, this is the system we recommend every time.

SLAYER CALLS
Some calls sound good on the workbench. Slayer calls sound good when a bull is raking 40 yards away or mallards are dropping through the treetops. That’s why we run them. From September bugles that cut straight through timber to late-season duck calls that stay crisp in the cold, Slayer delivers the kind of realism that turns encounters into opportunities. They build their calls for hunters who don’t get a second chancE. reliable, durable, and tuned for the moments that matter most in the elk woods and on the water.

ARGALI OUTDOORS
Some gear saves ounces. Argali saves hunts. When you’re miles deep in big country, their knives, shelters, and backcountry systems prove why they’ve become a staple in our kit. Their ultralight blades punch way above their weight when it’s time to break down an elk, and their shelters ride quietly through the night when the wind wants you gone. Argali builds gear for hunters who push past the trailhead and stay out longer because every piece they carry earns its place. Dependable, simple, and made for Western hunters who actually test their gear in real mountains.

FIRST LITE
This was our first year running First Lite in the field, and it didn’t take long to understand why so many hunters swear by it. From the first frosty mornings to the long, sweaty climbs, the system proved itself day after day. The durability surprised us, the warmth kept us out longer, and the temperature management was hands-down the best we’ve worn. Lightweight, comfortable, and built for real mountain abuse. First Lite became the gear we reached for without thinking. When conditions changed, it kept up. When the miles stacked, it held strong. And by the end of the season, it earned a permanent spot in our kit.
