Hi, I’m Allie! I’m an archer, hunter, angler, and public lands advocate. But really, I’m lover of all things outdoors! I enjoy sharing my adventures here on YouTube including the good and the bad. Learning how to enjoy the outdoors is a PROCESS and I’m here to share mine with you.

perrrfect
no disrespect – and I love that you’re out there hunting. But realistically, a bag dump recommendation from someone who has been Elk hunting the Western States for 1 year? 2 years? doesn’t have the depth of knowledge to be making videos.
Have you checked out the Bow Spider? Pretty bad ass.
Allie I guess your not going to answer my question
You always help with JUST want I need! Haha needed a pack for all around- hunting, recreational backpacking and this one seems to check all the boxes. Great video!
My elk hunt pack only had trail mix deer jerky a terminal blanket and water wish it would have had a oxygen bottle lol Allie you and Nick look like y’all are always having fun work hard play hard and if your work is fun then your always play hard
Subscribed… I haven’t been hunting in a hot minute but I really want to start again and I love watching your archery vids
Ear plugs… ? What if a bear is lurking around or some people up to no good?
Water = 2.2lbs per L. My mindset is if a bladder helps you drink more water, bring it. You can reduce the weight of the bladder by switching to an open top bladder like the platypus big evo. Plus they are easier to clean and dry out. I ditched Nalgene bottles a long time ago for Aquafina/Smartwater bottles. They weigh a fraction of Nalgenes and are pretty sturdy, alot of thru hikers use them.
Do you bring a backup power source?
No Imodium? You’re playing with fire!
If you have the weight capacity, a sleeping bag liner is great to keep your bag clean, adds warmth, and helps some people sleep who don’t like nylon.
Great breakdown, I always love seeing what people pack.
Hey Allie trying to see what packs might fit my wife. She has a short torso and is 5’2". About 120lb. We already tried kuiu and we found even the small frame still the shoulder straps would hover above her shoulders..shoulder straps wouldnt adjust lower as I believe the frame was made for min height of 5’5" or so. How tall are you..have you tried stone glacier or exo mountain gear pack? Any info would be appreciated thank you.

What are these boots you hold while crossing the river ?
Very very informative
Great bag dump video! What bino harness are you using?
What is your torso length? What size did you get, in the men’s or Women’s Metcalf? I have read reviews from women saying they prefer the men’s as the thinner straps on the women’s digs in. I like my husband’s, but measure at 14". The men’s small starts at 15".
That hunting backpack looks really good. Carrying all that seems like a workout.
What brand and what model is your Backpack …. it’s great ….. and again congratulations …. I like your videos
Native Americans were probably sitting exactly where you are sitting now,looking for there quarry being successful with what natural sources they had.
Hey grouse wacker!
Girl, all I gotta say is, How about those STEELERS baby!!!!
Steeler Nation!!!!!!!
Nice review! 1st elk bow trip in Sept 2021 with buddy and my son. Diy backpacking!
I’d like to make a little suggestion that doesn’t add any weight: a couple of fresh chemlights. In the event your electric lights fail, it’s good to have backup.
Looks like you have everything in there
cant beat a pump style water water filter. Used it backpacking thru the U.S. Definitely pretty simple and not too bulky to carry.
What did you do, wear all that equipment for the video then you passed on to your boyfriend. Lol
Good morning Allie & Nick, wish I was there with you rather than sitting at my desk. Best of luck on your hunt! Great video, very informative.
No room for your pit boss?? LOL. Very informative/enjoy your insights.
Great job
LOVE THE DESIGN OF THE BACKPACK. LIKE HOW IT PROTECTS YOUR HIPS & SHOULDERS TOO . I’LL HAVE TO SHOW THIS TO MY SON . BE SAFE ! HAVE FUN ! GOD BLESS YOU BOTH ALWAYS ON YOUR JOURNEYS & HUNTING SEASON TRIPS ! GORGEOUS WEATHER SCENERY COLORS VIEWS & VIDEO ! THANK YOU ! ENJOYED !
Great video, awesome pack!
Good day ALLIE. Mystery Ranch in multicam the best.
I’m up to 3 Mystery Ranch packs now. Simply the best for the money. I love ’em. I even EDC their attache case for my business work. Tip on walking downhill with trekking poles: Make one shorter and keep the other one longer. Use the short one to keep yourself anchored behind you and the long one as a feeler. Your arms & shoulders will be level as you descend because the shorter one will be meeting the pitch of the mountain. Far more stable. You’d be surprised at how much faster you go down.
Floor less tent not for me even in dry country. Mice love to chew on anything including mountain house meals. Big Agnes, Nemo etc all have lightweight tents with a floor.
Great video! Do you use any other camera setup?
Wow this crazy I actually found the loml on YouTube
Wow! We sell land near some hunting areas around the US. Our customers will love this channel so we’ll start sending them here to get valuable information. Great job!
Glad to see you moving away from over-represented trendy brands and go toward gear that works!
Hey there,
Awsome gear dump, very informative thanks. LOVE THAT PACK !
Would be real interested to read a list of your Lightweight Med supplies…we live in NZ so unfamiliar with some of the brand names, if you could please put up a list, maybe we can search for NZ equivalents?
Happy Hunting!
This is my new favorite outdoor channel
Great video I think it is great for hunting
why did you pick Orange over the green EL’s? besides the fact that youll never lose them
