Your gear upgrades/changes/additions for 2024

[Wag482]

What changes are you making to your 2024 loadouts and why?

Upgrades, additions, and changes from functionality to comfort.

Let her rip.

At the moment I'm focusing on weight reduction.

Switched up from a Vortex Razor 65mm to a Kowa 554. Better glass and drop over a pound.

Planning on adding a Durston X-mid to dropa couple lbs from the dragonfly 3p I've been carrying for solo trips.

Between those 2 items and a couple small things I'm planning on leaving behind this season, I should drop about 4lbs.

I want upgrade from a separate range finder and binocular to a set of rangefinder binoculars.

Trying to decide between the Revic, SIG10k gen 2 and the Leica with applied ballistics.

I am hoping some new bino tech comes out this year because I too want one unit. Something like NL-Range? I'm not paying that much for the sub level glass just because it has a rangefinder built in. I'm more working on changing my fitness than my kit. An injury set me back and now that I'm recovered I need to lose a few pounds and build back to pre injury endurance.

This is my focus, but on me not my gear... it's parsed down enough... me not so much.

Lost a good pair of binoculars from the boat a few years ago, could use to track down a new pair.

EL glass is inferior?

Exactly the same here down to the brands and models

I was really strong last year hunting. Plan on training harder this year.

We have all of the necessary gear….at our age, pretty senseless to add more.

Though, with old age on a rampage…..perhaps a "seeing eye dog" in the future! memtb

Huh….what did you say? (Hearing aids).

Garmin Mini II and a few month subscription so I know how to use it. (Sept.)
Triicon scope for my 300
Started Rucking today with <150 days til serious season begins
Building and shooting from field positions more. ( Rifle and load development are done )

New quiver for my bow. And a weight set trying to stay strong enough to pull the bow with no exaggerated movement. Mid 70s and it seems like if I turn my back on trying to stay in shape (and I use that word with tongue in cheek) it takes a month to gain anything back. Good luck everyone.

Man did you nail that! Seems a week off requires 2 months to return……it ain't fair! memtb
