I’m so glad I watched this. I just realized I pack so much unnecessary stuff for “just in case”. I need it. Was an eye opener!

I love your T-shirt collection 👍

Interesting!Great job!

I'm guilty of taking more things than I need. I was always thought it's better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. There's a problem though I went overboard with it and this year I'm not taking a backpack in the wood with me anymore. Great video Dan keep them coming

Depends how far ya going. I carry 32 ounces of water my bow 2 knives and 2 flash lights a wad of paper towel and about 25ft of Paracord and 15 ft of bank line a lighter and a bunch of milkweed my hunting stool and a couple granola bars

Learned about Purslane last year. I like it.

Good shooting Dan 👍🏼🦌

I havent see one of those vests in years. My buddy had one with seat belt style clasps. Blast from the past. Haha

Don't eat spurge. The way you can tell the difference? When you eat spurge, YOU DIE! ROFL! That was hilarious and got me laughing out loud. 😂😂

Nice place you have there Dan.

Prostrate spurge is a euphorbia and common purslane is a portulaca. Both garden bed and turf weeds. Both drought, heat, and deer resistant

Today was my lazy day, so it was an all day Sunday with Dan Infalt

SUPER cool info, also Awsome to see you have a complete hunting package plan on Beast Gear. I’ve been using a lone wolf climber for years, with all my gear I’m still carrying 30 to 40lb, be time for a change soon, your package weighs what? 11lbs

@thehuntingbeast

stands under 7 pound, each stick is under 2 pounds.

I am really trying to get away from having a pack, but I like the idea of carrying my jacket in my pack and putting it on After I'm in my tree and starting to cool down. I also like taking a snack and spare stuff like gloves, head net, batteries for my headlamp, etc. I put my calls and release in it as well. But man I would love to go packless! I Will however not take one for only sitting the last two hours on a p.m. hunt though

Nothing wrong with taking a backpack Just try not to completely fill it up! A lot of times a small backpack like you had in school is all you need depends on how far you're going in if you're packing out a animal but if you want to be a minimalist, the safety vest with pockets and packing gear on your stand or saddle setup is the way to go. ( my o-pin-yun). Shoot a big one this season👍

@brushcrawler8612

Same with the addition of I like that my platform and saddle fits inside of it and there are many different straps and buckles on it to tie up your sticks, jacket, hip waders, etc.

The safety harness is a big thing to me there's a few they just suck the cheap ones are a hassle to put on and I've had them come unhooked I wish someone would come up with a good one with pockets.

Forgot the bow stuff, where I get a shirt like that! 😆

Hell yeah I got the Prime revex 2

glow stick, frickin genius........I have left a deer to go drop off gear and head back out, that would be perfect to leave it hanging from a branch were the deer is

That's the best shirt yet 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I really matured as a hunter in the last 10 seasons Use to bring a 2500ci day pack full of gear on every hunt Now most hunts I only carry what I can fit in my pockets and a med sized fanny pack Heaviest thing I now carry other than my bow is my 4.9" P320 Most bow hunts now dont even pack any snacks or water Usually take a 5" folding saw Fiskers pruning shears two XSM head lamps ORG surveyors tape 30mm film container of milk weed Leatherman Wave binos LRF compass Buck Vanguard and phone bow rope & Hanger Just makes hunting all around more enjoyable having simplified things

My dad and I each got a pair of rocky rubber boots in 2003 or so when I was in school. After the military and years of travel, I grabbed them from his house in 2019 or so and they still work great with no leaks. I wonder if they weren’t made the same way many are made today.

Yea the old LaCross boots we used to get in the 90s had the same quality as the Gumleaf's but modern Chinese boots including LaCross don't last me 1/2 a season. Gumleaf is made out of rubber not a plastic/rubber mix

@Ranger.Vt.

One of the main ingredients these companies started adding along with plastic, is clay to the rubber to cut corners . So instead of 100% rubber like the old days. It’s more like 70/30. Years ago we always used Lacross and Northerner rubber boots on our farm and they lasted for years. Putting them through the ringer in the barn. Now, hunting Lacross don’t last a full season. The clay/plastic drys out and they constantly crack. Another great boot company is Baffin out of Canada. 100% rubber, expensive, but they last.

I'm fornsure gonna buy one of them camera mounts, even if I just put my phone on or a go pro for now

Sharpen the montec yourself 600 then 1200 diamond stone then stab a rineheart target 3 times and they are dangerously scalpel sharp👍

King of the graphic tees.

We put that stuff in the juicer , full of nutrients , very healthy

Dan , I just wanted to say thank you for getting me out of my comfort zone 🇺🇸

I went to keeping my release strapped ALWAYS to my bow.

I'm losing the backpack this season too

You really should design your own safety harness I know there's a lot that comes with that but we as viewers can tell you have a lot left to be desired when it comes to the harness

Don't break your back on a motorcycle and have a spinal cord injury like I did in the leather camps in 1995 but I did learn to walk again after 7 weeks in Froedtert hospital and a helicopter ride but it took a year to learn to walk again I even went back to painting Barnes for a living anyways it's made my life difficult that was in 1995 here I am in it's almost 2024 I'm going to start bow hunting again😊

Have you ever eaten milkweed pods? A woman I know from Ontario eats them, she had some recipes on her Instagram last month.

Purslane tolerates salinity better than just about everything. So if you salt your driveway, that's probably why it grows there.

Thanks for the video Dan! Do you use a bow holder?

I'm not trying to criticize you in any way, or knock your bow what so ever, just offering my my opinion after hearing you shoot it. Your bow is making quite the "twang" after the shot. Didn't know if you noticed it too, but I wanted to say something. Hate to have you miss or wound a deer due to it reacting to the twang. I enjoy your videos and have learned a lot from you!!

May even just use compound during rifle season for the challenge and fun of it.
