I wish this video was out when I bought my stove, but I still probably would have gone with the Lite outdoors stove. Very happy with it, though Ive only used it a bit. A bit finicky to put together, but Im confident I can do it easily in the cold as it doesn't use as small of parts as some of the other options. Also, it has rods that span the length of the stove to provide rigidity but also function as pot supports. I was able to boil water with a very hot fire. Box stoves would be able to boil water with a cooler fire, Im sure, but the Lite Outdoors did the trick.
Thanks for the review man! The exodus antennas do fold away though! And the price with the exodus app for data has been significantly decreased! Cheaper data and only $3 to add a camera.
Wow. I wasn’t aware of that regarding the antenna. Never saw an anything pointing that out. I wish I had. Even on the site, it looks like a rod that simply screws into the outlet. Regarding the data, I examined what was online with the Rival. Thats interesting if the prices are different, etc.
@@HuntDetail yes sir! We have a lot of content around best practices with cell cameras and one of the tips is always to turn the antenna so it folds away from the tree if a critter or anything would try to grab it. The data plans will be 40-50% cheaper than the SCOUTEK plans with the addition of unlimited! We haven’t made it public because the app just isn’t quite ready! Should be within the week though
I run the cnoc 2L bag for dirty water with the platypus filter, paired with the steripen ultralight. I carry a GSI microlite 1000 for my water on the go. Auquamira in case of an emergency, and i have a 3L and 4L HydraPaks bags if i need extra water storage.
Great video, very informative! What do you think about the new Rainbow AI weather app? They offer highly detailed predictions with 1 sq km and 1-minute accuracy using AI and real-time radar data. Could you include them in your comparison or share your thoughts here? Thanks! 😊
I am going to switch back to Moultrie mobile. I tried them last year but the cheaper camera I bought had terrible photos. But the 16AA batteries is so awesome the cameras last for months and months. That’s my favorite part. I stuck with stealth cameras originally because their customer service was good but I recently had multiple cameras die a they would t do anything for me and they are less than a year old. They actually told me to remove the camera then re add it after I removed it I couldn’t get it to add back on to my app and because of that they refused to replace the camera. Because they said they couldn’t prove it was mine. 😂
Great video. Thanks for the research. I have used a lot of cameras and I recently bought a fewWisEye cameras. They are super solid and and affordable. Maybe give them a look also.
I have a gen 1 reveal and have had it forever almost 4 seasons with a solar panel and have been pleased. But in the last year bought 2 Camojojo trace cameras. I know it’s an off brand but don’t sleep on them lol. I have solar panels on both and they have been my favorite camera ! Videos count as pics ! They are only 10 seconds but trigger speed is fast and hd video requests are cheap ! So for example a mid priced monthly plan is 7.99 and you get 800 videos or pics . It comes with hd request as well. But for an additional 4.99 you get 100 hd request that can be shared with your other trace cameras. Has in my opinion an unbreakable antenna cause it’s different than a standard one. 2year warranty. Only downsides are the 10 sec videos but I haven’t had an issue with it being only 10 sec. They currently only run on att. But I have them in places that don’t have great att coverage and I get great coverage with the cameras. Definitely check them out and check out some RU-vid reviews. The hunting farmer has a great one on the camojojo trace ! He has had them out longer than I have. Great breakdown on your video though keep up the great work !
I wish these mapping software Companies and their promotors and reviewers would make it clear that their property boundaries are not accurate and are not legally binding. The mapping Companies use County Plat maps which are not accurate and are just estimates. I've tested the mapping software Companies property boundaries on my own property and found them to be sometimes hundreds of yards inaccurate. Most County Plat maps will say in fine print that the map is an estimate and not accurate and not legally binding. The reason the Mapping companies use them is because they are fee. The only accurate and legally binding property line source is a legal survey, and the surveys are not free. The surveyor charges for a copy of their survey. You may wonder why this is important well, in my state if you kill an animal on my land without my written permission you will be prosecuted for poaching no matter what software you are using. If you are hunting on my land without my written permission, you will be prosecuted for trespassing and attempted poaching no matter what software you are using.
Ehhh….how is different than a bottle with a filter? And, it’s a bit more expensive. I just don’t see it…but I’m glad it works for you and have heard good things. Best of luck this year!
@@HuntDetail it’s extremely fast and you can fill up your bladder, Nalgene bottle & everyone else’s that’s with you in no time at all and it removes viruses too.
Been a gravity filter guy for years. Just switched to the pen and Nalgene’s as my only option because I don’t have to worry about tubes and bags… and I lost an extra 1lb or more off my water system. No worrying about freezing or filters getting clogged up. Fast and easy.
Hey by the way your video editing skills are on point. With the list that stays on the screen, and a live view of the application in another window. Great work
100% agree. I've contacted onyx so many times asking them to organize their icons for waypoints, and allow us to pick like a top five to put in a quick toolbar that just stays open, and it should automatically ask you what color you want whenever you click the icon, or default to whatever you use last. I could go on for days
Hey pretty solid idea man thank you for doing the review on all these different platforms I'll go check out your other video. You mentioned Google Earth, that might be a good one to talk about also
One thing that you have to take in to consideration is that the specialized hunting jackets give you warmth even when wet, but the non hunting jackets won't.
Ehhhh…synthetic down or synthetic fibers might…but not “hunting jackets”. It depends on their fill. Pretty sure the Columbia was synthetic. Of course, if you’re hunting Alaska…then synthetic is likely a better option. If you’re hunting elk in Colorado…different story…down can be an option if paired with a rain jacket, etc. Environments are going to dictate choices for sure.
@@HuntDetailby hunting jackets I was referring to these jackets in the video... Not just any hunting jackets. You are correct synthetic keeps warm when wet.
How did the mega meat beat the dead meat? I purchased Dead meat for an Elk hunt this year thinking best bloodtrail, penetration and cutting diameter (3 blade) compared to all the heads you tested! Never shot the Mega or Deadmeat but have shot Grim Reaper, Rage, Killzone, slick trick viper tricks and many more with luck for Whitetails…. 62lb Bowtech solution 29.5 inch draw and Bowtech Carbon One 72 lb with 446 Grain Easton 6.5 Matrix 300 spine.
It’s a great question because the deadmeat has a smaller cut diameter…one would think that the deadmeat would have greater penetration. But, the Megameat fully deployed and went 20 plus inches…very surprising. I will say that all of this is simply one data point. I would recommend using what you feel most confident in based on your own examination. Thanks for your feedback and support. Best of luck this season.
Well, I just took a look and they look really well built etc…but the lightest one comes in at a whopping 12.4lbs. Unfortunately, that is waaaay too heavy for backpacking purposes. As I outlined in the video…brackets and fixtures are nice features but add too much weight to be practical. Thanks for the message and best of luck this year!
Awesome video. I love to see non-hunting brands compete head to head with ones that are marketed to hunters and obviously marked way up. Do you have one like this for pants? Or rain gear?
Hands down the best bino harness revie out there. I picked up the Badlands x2 after watching this last year. I love the harness! Super comfortable and versitiel. Not to mention it has a no questions asked lifetime warranty.. Badlands to me is like the ESEE of hunting gear. I haven't been disappointed yet.
I can tell you myself and a couple of my buddies started using the sevr the last couple years and we’ve had incredible results! All have locked open and love we can actually practice with them so we know exactly how they fly! All have locked opted and worked flawlessly! I will be using strictly them until I/we have them fail in some sort of way!
Your testing raises a question, how are you getting so much penetration? Every ballistics test on YT i have seen- no one gets that much penetration. Your arrows weigh more than the typical guys we see on YT. Generally the Gel creates alot of friction/stiction on the arrow and no one gets that much penetration. Not a knock on you or your test- just wondering what is different here..
Good question. I’m shooting into a relatively small area of ballistic gel. And as a result, I’m shooting from about 10 yards. That’s likely the difference. If I were to stretch that out to 20 or 30 yards, I’d likely hit an edge or maybe miss completely…or have the arrows angle outside of the gel. That’s why I’m so close. I understand that most shots are longer than 10 yards. But, my objective is to evaluate these arrows against each other…whether that is 30 yards or 10 yards…doesn’t make a whole lot of difference. Thanks for the question and your support. Best of luck this season!
GREAT VIDEO! When I'm elk hunting, I take 5 elk size game bags with me; one for each quarter and a fifth one for back straps and tenderloins. Separated out, the meat cools faster. I load everything up onto my game cart and haul it all out in one trip.
Curious about the Grim Reaper. I’ve always been told they are designed to close after penetration. How did you confirm the one blade did not open during penetration?
I thinknwhat he meant was they will sometimes close upon exit. It is not uncommon for you to find the head closed, although it fully opened while passing through. Are you sure it didn't close one after?
Yip yap bump your flap with ZERO testing just bumping your gums with opinion and some gel....John Lusk is the Broadhead Testing Guru and it is shown that the Sevr is the best expandable by far
I made the exact same years ago. Even made a video (ROCKSOLID PLATFORM SET UP) about 2 yrs. ago. You should see how I carry them and lock it to the tree. But in other videos I One Stix with one. I don't doubt at all you didn't see it. RU-vid and Content creators not really pushing my stuff. Comments get taking down instantly except for a couple here and there. I give up before but now I'm back with a new channel and the determination to succeed.
Very helpful, thank you! Tried BaseMap last year because of integration with my Sig rangefinder, but even now I can't get the layers working at all on my phone. And on the desktop, the property layers are out of date with several I know have split and sold over the last few years. I also don't see any indication of private land public access programs which here in Montana is a HUGE deal. Nearly 7 million acres of that here and the next closest state is WY with only 3.1 million acres
@1:15 how is the build quality on this vice. This does what I want and I will probably buy one but I'm concerned about sloppy play in the manufacturing due to the fact its a the generic $150 ebay vice. Is it quick to set when leveling the bow or does it sag (slop) a little after tightening a joint. Is it sturdy or does it have a tendency to wobble?
I'm not positive, but I think that LiteOutdoors has the 2 stabilizing rods on top not only to hold the stove together but to offer a flat surface for heating pots/pans. Thank you for the review!
That's true, the other consideration is that because it uses a similar titanium sheet to the Seek U-turn, there is imperfections, and warpage, around the assembly of it, which can let smoke out, and lose some efficiency when compared to the hard sided stoves like the SO standard stoves, or argali.
I killed my first deer in 1965 with the old Bear two blade with bleeders blades off a 55# Bear recurve bow. In all my years I’ve never used a mechanical head. Because bows of the last 10-15 years are so much better than ever to get tuned and tuned WITH any arrow and broadhead why use a head that may fail you? Why not use a head that WILL NOT fail on impact? Want lots of proof of fixed blade heads, RU-vid hunts in Australia. Watch those guys kill large wild pigs, feral goats and the monster Water Buffalo with simple two blade heads.
I’m sorry, but this video wasn’t created to convince you to use mechanicals…it’s simply evaluating mechanicals. Use what you want..heck, use a Lego…I don’t care. I used to feel the same way you do and then I got tired of small to nonexistent blood trails. Best of luck this season!
One thing I see when people use gel is they seldom create what would be considered the skin of an animal. The gel may imitate the meat tissue but there needs to be cloth, leather etc to get mechanical heads to open? correctly? Thin split cowhide used in some videos clearly shows the mechanical heads functioning normally nearly every time.
Which Expandable Broadhead Should I Choose? Mega Meat VS. SEVR VS. Grim Reaper VS. Dead Meat ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-s-swyi4388U.html
Watch this one…this is the update. I’d still go with HuntWise. OnX VS. GoHunt VS. HuntWise VS. Spartan Forge VS. BaseMap VS. HuntStand - Part 1 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-I6mKTOjnhAs.html
@@HuntDetail Thank you. I did watch Part 1. I was debating between Huntstand (used in the past, was thinking upgrading to Whitetail Pro but did not seem to be good based on reviews) and OnX which has a deep promotion of 30% off. I need only one or two states so I can get it for $20-30. I will definitely try Huntwise now.
After 15yrs with a Mossy Oak NWTF vest I retired it about mid way through this season and went to the Sitka vest (caught it on sale) and for a lighter run and gun set up it works great!
Two things to also consider (for me anyway) is 1) the ease of setup and ease of use. My buddy has a seek outside and it's a pain to put together - especially in the cold (which is obviously when you'll be using it). Those wingnuts are easy to drop and lose. I have the Nortent titanium stove (not on your list) which is 81.13oz (heavy) and 882 cu inches. It's very quick and easy to setup (they have a video online) and I like the fact that you can get it with glass sides for those shorter trips where you're happy to take the weight or titanium sides for when you want to keep it as light as possible since they just swap out. 2) I also found that some of these really light stoves will warp more than others which then creates gaps and in turn leaks smoke into your tent. I totally agree that going with too small of a stove doesn't gain you enough in terms of the extra care and feeding the stove will take - in addition to the extra sawing you will have to do to keep the wood at the right length to fit in the box.
