    Gear recommendations from the field

    With lots of folks hitting the woods and putting to new gear to the test, thought I'd see what's working. Couple things that were new to me this year, although not new overall, that I thought were worth every penny were: - OnX maps on my iPhone. Wow, it made my Garmin Oregon feel like a...

    Just wanted to make a quick intro. The names Brad and although I'm a born and raised Texan, my mind has always been in the mountains.
