Steve Rinella and Janis Putelis compete to see who can give the hottest tip. Topics covered include drying wet socks and packing grouse arrows. Janis is declared the winner.
Hot Tip: vacuum seal a pair of socks and chonies and keep it in your ruck, they weigh next to nothing and they’ll be dry when you need them even if you go for a dunk. Hot Tip 2: buy some surplus MRE heaters, if you’ve got a wife kids or you’re just in a cold environment they’ll heat up your gear/socks/gloves/ sleeping bag/ food and all you need is about 4table spoons of water to activate it. Put one between your pack and your back and it’ll keep you toasty just make sure you’ve got some layers on or else you’ll get burned. I’ve been in an environment where I was unable to have a fire due to the situation and light discipline, I had 3 heaters pressed against a can and was able to boil some water, and heat my boots and gloves.
Just got my hunter education because of you guys and the meat eater show love yall your getting me out of the house and doing shit again can't wait to start hunting
Of all the crap we carry hunting anyway, why can't we carry a couple of extra pairs of socks? Maybe it's my dislike of feet but something about spreading foot funk to other parts of my body just doesn't sit well. Having been in the military I can tell you you can never have too many socks. Foot health is paramount since when you have nothing else they are the best Cadillacs you'll ever have.
@@GrowYourOwn13 I don't mind wool blends too. They seem to have the same warmth and dry just a little bit quicker maybe. Wool is definitely an outdoorsman's friend though.
On all my hunting, or fishing trips I'll take the time beforehand and pack what the trip calls for... Each trip is unique, packing is different for each one. If your smart, a journal is an important way of documenting the good and bad of each. If your prepared, great things happen! Dont forget your topknot!
My 13 and 15 year old sons and I watch your shows over and over and we love it! Got any tips on hunting cold weather with someone that has Raynauds syndrome? I want to take the boys out but the cold is getting too much for me to hunt when its colder than 50 degrees. Thanks
I always put my grouse arrow in the quiver upside down. Since it doesn't have a sharp point it clearly denotes what I'm reaching for in the heat of the moment.
An upside-down Flu-Flu blunt looks great at the far end of a quiver. The only trick is switching out the broadhead arrow for the blunt without making a ton of motion. I've been FAR too disciplined this year loosing blunts at squirrels.
Beside for different heads how do your grouse arrows differ from your big game arrow? Also what bird/small game/stump shooting arrow heads do you recommend?
Haha I don’t believe it! About the socks, that’s one of those things where you want to try it but you know you never will.... unless it’s in my back yard lol.
My best method for drying socks is to carry two 500ml nalgenes instead of the single 1000ml. That way I can put boiling water in the bottles and put those in my socks. They can then be used as heaters in your sleeping bag. Between your thighs or under your armpits will dry the socks and keep you snug as a bug
Its highly recommended that if you over heat your dogs, to stop at a clear runninand stream and cool down the dogs and give the socks a chance to expel some of the sweat. Too soggy, change them out, with the spare pair!
If an MNR officer catches you in Ontario with a small game broadhead while you are hunting big game you are probably getting fined. For that reason I vote that Steve wins, even though a better tip would just be have an extra pair of socks.
that would depend on if you have a small game license or not, and what small game animals are in season in your WMU. if both of those are in line, then you'll probably be fine
@@shadowa1ien473 the problem is you need to be using a minimum size broadhead when hunting big game, so technically you can't have anything less than that on you. At least that's how it was explained to me when I took the hunting course. If you are allowed to use the same weapon/ammunition it's fine. 🤷♂️
@@jonathancaverly6477 that is true, i'll probably ask a conservation officer his opinion, because to me it would seem kinda foolish to charge someone for that, given a small game head is designed only for small game. Until then i'll just avoid it to be safe
Dont believe that you need to shoot dozens of arrows a day to stay sharp...if the equipment is true and you practice different types of shots and your in decent shape your good. People tend to b.s. about how much you need to shoot your bow.
Where wet socks while sleeping?!?!?! If the goal is to have rotting stumps on the end of your legs and be so cold you cannot sleep, then yea, go ahead and wear wet socks at night. I love you Steve, but that is the worst idea I have ever heard.
Atlas531 It works well for me, always has. Used to fish a small creek everyday up camping. Wore jeans cotton socks and last school years shoes, no waders. Would stand by the fire and dry my shoes and jeans then slept in the same cloths in my bag every night. Shoes inside the old tube tent. Wake up, shoes damp pants and socks dry. Worked in my 4 years of infantry service as well. From Georgia to Kentucky to camp Greaves South Korea. Still do it. No issues
