The Ram Outdoorsman

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 your clients hunt.


Thermacell

Thermacell 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 Arbor Wear 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.

ConQuest Scents

ConQuest Scents manufacturers scent sticks, that are made from scents collected from real animals and are encapsulated in a wax-stick formula. They have hunting scents for Deer, elk, bear and predators. As well as for food cover. ConQuest Scent Sticks can be purchased at Cabela's and most hunting/retail stores.

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.


TAG Bags

Technologiclly Advanced Game Bags, or T.A.G. Bags, are manufactured and sold by Pristine Ventures. These synthetic game bags offer superior protection against wasted game meat in the field. The T.A.G. Bags offer a precise thread count and fabric construction that is crucial for allowing adequate ventilation, fabric strength and durability. The guys at Pristine have been Outfitting Alaska Big Game hunters since 1998 and are anxious to share their products and knowledge with anyone who makes a call or emails them.


Diablo Paddle Sports

Diablo Paddle Sports have designed and manufactured a product line of watercraft that not only floats but maneuvers well in shallow water while carrying a lot of weight on top. For waterfowl hunters, they have the Adios Duck Blind. This is a 12.5' long and 36” wide boat that has all the capabilities of a sit-on-top kayak but still allows the hunter the stability to stand up. It only weighs 69 pounds but has a weight capacity of 400 pounds!


Colorado Cylinder Stoves

Colorado Cylinder Stoves manufacturers quality, wood burning stoves for your canvas tents and camps. Their Alpine stove is 28”L x 18”W, and at 100 pounds is easily transported into any hunting camp. It can be purchased either at Cabela’s or through their web site. I use these stoves in my Elk Camp and can personally recommend its value in keeping a guy warm on cold wet days and frosty nights.


Cartridge Guide

 

Cartridge Guide compares every factory available cartridge from the 17 calibers up to the 50 caliber cartridges. It compiles data from all major ammunition manufacturers, and shows the optimal velocity achieved for each bullet weight and calculated bullet energy, recoil and powder efficiency. This Guide is known as “The Hunting Bible” and should be at the finger tips of every hunter and shooting enthusiast.
