  2. Heated Shirt

    in Boots, Clothing and Backpacks

    Posted

    I finally got sick of freezing my arse off at basketball on Friday nights so did some searching on heated shirts.

    Long story short, I ended up with one of these http://www.avade.com.au/

    It works pretty well!  So I thought if any of you were looking for warn hunting clothes, this might be up your alley.  Looks like it was created initially for dirt bikers.

    I’m rarely cold when I’m stalking (most likely because I’m unfit and walk too fast ;)) so I probably won’t use it for hunting but you never know.

    If I had any recommendation, it’d be to grab an extra battery and a car charger.

    Anyway, if you’re interested, this is an option that works.  There’s a few options out there but I ended up buying this one because it is Aussie made.

    And do the physio work (don’t get lazy) it’s worth it to get back some strength and flexibility

  11. ALICE Packs

    I’m getting a bit of spam lately about ALICE pack frames. “Genuine US Army” blah blah blah. 

    Anyone used them?  Are they any good?  How do they compare with the expensive end of the hunting backpack range?

    I’m not in the market for one - just curious.

    I can't bring myself to trust electronic compasses...  I think they rely on you walking for a bit before they really know which way is which - but that might be total crap.  I haven't read enough to know for sure because I don't trust them :)

    Old fashioned is the way there I reckon

    Welcome back, stranger!

    i thought the iridium network was going to get splashed (literally) years ago?  Someone must have thrown some cash at it and saved them?

    i used to visit a website that told you when and where to look for "iridium flares" which was when the sun was reflected off the solar panels of the iridium satellites into your location. Might have to refind it.
