SteriPen? What do you guys think?
Biggest benefit they have is they work in freezing temps. Sawyers should never freeze as the straws in the inside will stop working properly after they freeze (cracking, etc.).- ColoradoHunterHiker

Pack Organization
That's the beauty of backpack hunting, you're system can alway be dialed in a little more. That's where sites like this come in handy. It's a great place to see what others are doing and then you can go give that a try... Like I said, let me know if you have any questions! Good Luck!- ColoradoHunterHiker

Looking for the right elk hunting pack. Suggestions
I'd say he's tested it, thoroughly too. I agree, wholeheartedly, with his point about packs being tailored to different styles of hunting. Try them all (that you can get your hands on) and go with the one that fits the best and suits your needs the best. It's kinda like boots... Good Luck!- ColoradoHunterHiker

Rain Gear - CO Archery Elk
I've archery hunted CO for a decade. Rain pants are not necessary, especially if you have pants with DWR on them or quick drying ones. Worst case, take shelter under an evergreen if the storms really bad. They pass quickly! Good Luck!- ColoradoHunterHiker

If you just want a pack that's light to take your stuff in to camp & you're worried about weight over comfort, Kuiu is a great option. If your concern is...- ColoradoHunterHiker

Kuiu Super Down Jacket vs Kifaru Lost Parka
I have both. They truly are different applications. The Superdown is great for warmth while glassing, cutting the chill of a cold morning, etc. Not so great at busting through brush or shedding heavy rain/snow. Also, you'll get too hot with it on while hiking around for very long... But it...- ColoradoHunterHiker

Buy once, cry once. Kifaru vs. Stone Glacier
My $.02: They are both great companies and make great packs. Kifaru has never said they are "light" and especially not "ultra-light". They are focused on one thing: comfort of heavy loads. Stone Glacier markets themselves as "ultralight". So, if you are honest with yourself, are you...- ColoradoHunterHiker
