Nothing gets worked harder or builds up heat faster than pumping those getaway sticks up and down the hills. We’ve covered (literally) the upper half, now let’s go south of the equator to talk about those legs. Let’s meet the Active Hunter line, shall we? Odin Jacket Where we took it, impressed even our hardest-to-please partners. Quiet, comfortable, warm and moisture wicking are just where we started. Our new Active Hunter line is THE choice for those cool-weather hunts that require a little cardio. So, as we are prone to do here at Badlands, we did something about it. We either sweat puddles during the stalk in/hike up the incline, or we freeze while sitting and glassing or calling in game.įrankly, we got tired of it. And when we’re hunting in cooler weather, we never seem to have the right clothing along. And while Badlands packs are ergonomically designed to make a heavy load light, it’s still a load. We’re not scaling any frozen waterfalls, icicles hanging from our noses, in pursuit of that elusive albino, 38-point elk the locals call “The Dream Killer.”īut, we do often find ourselves huffing and puffing up a ridge to glass the valley. We know that hunting isn’t the way you see it in advertising. If that’s not an option, we’ll often just strap our hunting partners to our backs and do a few hundred wind sprints up the mountain and back. Out in the field you can find us toting logs up mountains, like Rocky in Rocky IV when he’s training to fight Drago. Now, if y’all are anything like us, you like to get your workout of the day in whenever and wherever you can.
