The Gear Guide


Karl BadgerDear Guides and Outfitters:

September 23 is the first day of fall. That date marks shorter days, cooler temperatures, time to harvest fields, and responding to the “Call of the Wild”. In preparation for the above, be sure you take a hard look at the Special Offers from VANGUARD & CRISPI, as well as the product information on the Ram Outdoorsman, Havalon Knives, EZ Haul Trailers, Sightronics, Thermacell and Arbor Wear pants.

As Always-Gear Up and Get Out.

Crispi Boots

Special Offer

Crispi Boots wants every Top Rated Guide and Outfitter to be wearing a pair of their boots this hunting season; and is offering you a wholesale price to make it happen. The Hunter HTG GTX boot is one of the most technically advanced boots I’ve ever seen. It has water-repellent leather, Gore-tex insulated lining, ABSS construction, an insole with differentiated structure, rubber border protection, a Vibram sole with a shock absorbing midsole, and is absolutely the most comfortable boot I’ve ever worn. Email me at kbadger@ypc.net for the details.


Dodge Ram

The Ram Outdoorsman is designed specifically for truck buyers who hunt/fish and camp. It provides trailer towing, interior comfort and rugged durability for off-Road. Some of my favorite features are the Class IV hitch with 4 & 7 pin trailer connector. Heavy Duty Cooling. 17-inch LT tires with on/off road tread. Quad halogen headlamps and fog lamps. Courtesy lamps in mirrors, under hood and glove box. Electronic shift-on-the-fly part time transfer case (4x4). Heavy duty rubber mud/slush mats both front and rear.


Havalon Knives are proving to be the most effective tool for capping and skinning. Consider these testimonials. The value of these knives, is that they’re surgically sharp and can be easily replaced with other blades when one becomes dull. Havalon knives can be purchased at Sportsman’s Warehouse or directly from the Havalon web site.


First Lite

I’ve been wearing First Lite merino wool products everyday since January, when I saw this company receiving awards and recognition at the 2011 SHOT Show. Merino wool has proven itself as a superior base layer product for its wicking and insulation benefits. First Lite has taken these benefits and crafted them into some well designed tops, bottoms and mid layer products, that should be on the backs of every Professional Guide and Outfitter.


Sightmark

Sightmark manufactures award-winning products that include riflescopes, gun sights, lazer sights, night vision, range finders, flashlights, bore sights and other shooting accessories. Inspired by military and law enforcement technology. Sightmark products are designed for hunting, shooting and tactical uses. This triple duty concept ensures that every Sightmark product can be used for all of your hunting needs.


EZ Hunt & Haul

EZ Hunt & Haul is a solid wall trailer mounted hunting blind. It sets up quickly and provides a sturdy, comfortable hunting shelter. EZ Hunt and Haul combines the sturdiness of a permanent stand blind with the maneuverability of a pop-up, so that you can get to where the game is. It can also be converted into a sturdy utility trailer. With at least 10 different options this blind will add to the comfort and success of you clients hunt.


Thermacell

Thermacell mosquito-repellent/hunting allows you to be the “Predator, not the Prey”. Thermacell Appliances are easy to carry and will repel mosquito's, black flies, no-seeums, and other flying insects out to a 15'x15' buffer zone. Their products do not use Deet or other odors that might spook game.


The Arborwear

The Arborwear Ascender Pant has no equals when it comes to design, comfort and toughness. This is truly the perfect Hunting Pant. They are made from a blend of 4-way stretch 89% nylon and 11% elasthan-with a coating of Teflon. The Ascender pants also feature well-designed pockets, cuffs with Velcro straps and reinforced knees with a unique fabric for extreme abrasion resistance. I’ve tested these pants in all of my climbing and hiking adventures this summer and found them to be totally bullet proof.
