It could be the best hunting pack, but the Mystery Ranch Pop Up 40 pack has annoying locking webbing buckles and pressure based webbing glides. These really slow you down and can be difficult to use in cold gloved conditions. It somewhat ruined the experience for me, too much webbing and locks.
But, I did love how it carried the weight and was comfortable over the course of 8 miles we traversed on the opening day of deer season here in Pennsylvania.
From Mystery Ranch: For those wanting a higher-volume daypack that stays low-profile and functional during your hunt, the POP-UP 40 stands ready – and it has the chops to shoulder some serious load lifting to boot. This pack’s OVERLOAD® feature allows hunters to instantly transform it into a bona fide meat hauler. The telescoping frame offers a hefty 80-lb. capacity that houses the bulk of the weight close to your back for exceptional comfort during long hauls back to your rig. When you need to get moving after a kill, the POP-UP 40’s face compression securely stows a bow or rifle, freeing your hands for trekking poles or navigating difficult terrain. In the meantime, ample pockets and storage compartments stow gear and rations close at hand, and a combination of zippers and a drawstring shroud allows you to grab whatever you need at a moment’s notice.
KEY ATTRIBUTES The POP-UP FRAME feature converts this daypack into a load-hauling system for those shorter, successful day hunts when shouldering out the brutal weight is necessary for extraction. This function allows the frame to easily expand and adjust to carry loads up to 80 lbs. It features expandable pole stays and a load shelf.
OVERLOAD® feature provides functional expandability via a load sling between the pack and the frame, allowing you to put the bulk of the weight closest to your back for optimal comfort. Hunting Light Yoke easily micro adjusts to the torso length
Integrated ¼” - 20 optics thumbscrew allows you to thread your camera, spotting scope or rifle mount directly to the frame for optimal stabilization Telescoping aluminum frame

Whether you are heading into where your tree stand is located or stalking during rifle season, like whitetail deer here in Pennsylvania, taping off you barrel is a must. If you take a spill that will save you from unplugging your barrel if it becomes blocked with dirt and debris.

(Lightweight & COMFY!)CaptainBerz2023-11-12 | The best sleeping bag is a lightweight, warm and adaptable sleeping bag. Somewhat budget friendly sleeping bag, but the Zenbivy Light Bed 10 is awesome! I use it recently on an Appalachian Trail trip and have it down to high 30's at night, the Zenviy Light Bed 10 performed awesome. Very adaptable, given I had my dog with me. I was able to cover him up under the Zenbivy quilt and we slept snug as a bug! The Zenbivy system is reasonably priced, made with great materials, including 800 fill power HyperDRY down which is treated down to resist the dreaded untreated down getting wet and losing warmth. Go get you a Zenbivy for the majority of your backpacking (many people backpack between 20 and 50 degree nights). There is also the Zenbivy Light Bed 25 which will work for warmer nights!
My Zenbivy Light Bed 10 System Specs: Quilt w/ Fast Footbox: Large: 2 lb 5 oz (1.05 kg) Large Quilt Dimensions: 86” x 58” (218 x 147cm) Light Sheet Bed: 25": 10 oz (0.28 kg)
From Zenbivy: "You don't have to choose between an ultralight pack or comfort at camp—the Light Bed gives you the best of both worlds. Our 2-piece sleeping bag combines the warmth and draft-free performance of a mummy bag with the luxurious comfort of a backpacking quilt. It's built to feel like your bed at home with a sheet below you and a quilt above so you can get a comfortable, natural night's sleep outdoors without the constriction of a mummy bag.
We've refined every aspect to save weight including using performance fabrics, high-quality down, and a unique ultra-secure hook and loop system to add versatility to the setup. We built the Light Bed for performance so you can go further outdoors in comfort.
The Light Bed 10° is WARM. It’s built for colder sleepers and those pushing the boundaries of “3-season”.
The Light Bed 10° includes the Light Quilt 10°, Light Sheet 10°, and an extra-large mesh bag for long-term storage."

I would argue, yes, the Marlin .45-70 Trapper Lever Rifle is possibly the best bear defense gun. Granted, you ain't long ranging with this Marlin .45-70 Trapper Lever Rifle, but inside 75 yards, this Marlin .45-70 Trapper Lever Rifle is devastating. Shooting on par with a 12 gauge in terms of recoil, the Marlin .45-70 Trapper Lever Rifle is easy to use, well made by Ruger for the last few years and packs a punch! Stay tuned for more Marlin .45-70 Trapper Lever Rifle action. Some say 45-70, while other say .45-70. But the proper way to say it is .45-70 and not 45-70!

While many countries are posturing and nuclear threats have been made, World War III from a citizens perspective is different than a militaries. Here the in the USA, under Biden currently, if World War 3 (WWIII) were to go from cold to hot and start, would you be prepared and able to live in your house for a while? Or would you have to go to the store and stock up? If you are depending on the store to help you if, or once, World War III (WWIII) kicks off, than you are not thinking properly. Grocery stores only hold a finite amount of food. It does not take long for their inventory to dwindle, it is really enough for the area you live in for a day or two if everyone is rushing to get things.
Like during lockdowns when COVID pandemic occurred. I remember that and do not want to experience it again. So we purchase food that we normally eat, and stock up on it so we have a store at our house if you will. For instance, if you like mac and cheese you will need butter, milk and water. I have a good stock of butter in my fridge, and we always have 2-3 gallons of milk in our fridge. But if the power goes out, or that is nor available, we have other options. Like canned or powdered butter and canned powder milk, or long term carton milk. Storing your mac in cheese in canning glass jars and vacuum sealing them extends their life dramatically. So buy them, then move them to the jars I have outlined below. Long term powdered milk and butter can get you a few years shelf life. Canned butter is indefinitely storable in a cool dry place. This is one example.
I say World War 3 in jest, as it really comes down to not caring about what will happen, it is about what could happen. Which no one knows, it could be aliens! I know my great grandparents generation always canned, it was like their religion. That has slowed down as each generation is used to easier and easier times. But with how easily life can be affected with hackers, power grids, economic collapse or world war 3, we should think more like my great grand parents generation. In my opinion.
For instance, if Mrs. Berz wants to make a chicken pot pie we have to have those ingredients. The lazy way is to have canned chicken, cream of chicken, canned green beans, canned carrots, canned corn, etc. Normally she tops with something like biscuits from the fridge. But given the circumstances of WWIII, that is not an option. So either we need to store a biscuit mix and use that or go without it in a bad situation. But, using all canned, it is all cooked, so technically there is no need to heat up. But if you own a camping oven, one you set over your propane stove, you could war it all up, etc.

(Expensive Better Than Budget?)CaptainBerz2023-10-15 | What is the most best comfortable sleeping bag? The most best comfortable sleeping bag is clearly the ones that feel great on the body, around your head and feet, and along without being constrictive. While the Zenbivy Light Bed runs away with that at home feel since it is a modular setup of quilt and bottom pad connector that has a hood, it is not for deep winter. So most of the year, the Zenbivy Light Bed is the way to go. But the Stone Glacier Chilkoot, Feathered Friends Redesigned Ibis, Valandre Bloody Mary and Shocking Blue, Nemo Sonic and Therm-A-Rest Parsec all are fabulously comfortable options! The rest are okay or really bad. With Outdoor Vitals Summit, Kelty Cosmic Ultra and Sierra Designs Cloud rounding out the bottom of the list as the worst. While I do not have every bag, I have enough to give a good comparison on different manufactures, as they all have their highs and lows. Good luck on your search for the perfect bag!

Which sucks, as the Bib & Tucker 6 Year Bourbon bottle is cool! There is a lot to be left to the imagination after tasting Bib & Tucker 6 Year Bourbon. Rumored to be distilled by Dickel, this is not close to Dickel Bourbon, which I actually like. Thin, weak and an underperformer. At the $50 price, this Bib & Tucker 6 Year Bourbon is a no buy for me. The question is, is it bourbon night? For me that is Friday or Saturday. Thanks for watching!
From Bib & Tucker: "Like the turn of the century that inspired it, boldness and refinement come together to create a bourbon that’s meant to be raised in celebration. Aged for a minimum of 6 years in new American white oak barrels to produce unparalleled smoothness. This harmony makes it easy to enjoy from the front of the mouth to the back. Worthy of any occasion, you pick the moment and this award-winning small batch bourbon will make it."
Nose: Aged for a minimum of 6 years in the barrel this bourbon leads with a scent of vanilla and sweet hay, accented by sandalwood and mace.
Taste: It enters the palate smoothly, and the bourbon is nicely balanced with a hint of pecan pie sweetness.

(Do THIS or MISS!)CaptainBerz2023-10-01 | The best right way to zero your hunting rifle is this! The best way to zero your hunting rifle is to make sure you zero your scope with you actual round of choice. Do not zero with cheap ammo and then never verify the zero is still good with your expensive hunting ammo. When you buy a scope, buy some cheap ammo and your hunting ammo. Go to the range after installing the scope and start at 25 yards. Dial it in at 25 yards. Then go to 100 yards for an ultimate zero. You should be close and just need a minor adjustment, as the windage won't change much if at all. Good luck hunting with the best ammo and scope combo!

Unique in a good way, Legent bourbon packs flavor with a solid body and lots of complexity. I would like to see a higher proof, but that is my only complaint! Otherwise, Legent Bourbon is reasonably priced and seems easy to find here in PA. My Legent bourbon review is an endorsement, as I have a backup bottle of Legent bourbon on my bar! Legent bourbon is a like a budget upper shelf bourbon. The question is, is it bourbon night? For me that is Friday or Saturday. Thanks for watching!
From Legent: "Legent® is a Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey partially finished in wine and sherry casks. But it's more than that. It pushes the boundaries for how bourbons can be created while remaining true to the core of bourbon's principles. It's a collaboration between two whiskey legends – Fred Noe & Shinji Fukuyo – and two unique styles of whiskey making."
Legent Bourbon is a collaboration between Fred B. Noe of the James B. Beam Distilling Co., and Shinji Fukuyo of the House of Suntory. Mature Beam bourbon is finished in sherry and red wine casks, then expertly blended with additional straight bourbon to create Legent.
Nose: Brown sugar, purple grape juice, fresh apples; in the back are subtle figs and raisins; burnt caramel, mild rye spices and light cinnamon; some dry oak; mild-moderate alcohol
Taste: Mild sweetness, caramel, brown sugar, Concord grape juice; dry oak
Finish: Cabernet like flavors join with white and black pepper spice, dry oak and light barrel char; the finish is longer than expected with a moderate burn
The best bourbons for me start out with budget friendly Jim Beam Repeal Batch. At $20, it is not pricey and is well rounded and I prefer it over Evan Williams Bottled in Bond, which is many people favorite budget bourbon.
Next on best bourbons is the stout Elijah Craig Small Batch. For around $33 Elijah Craig hits all the notes and is probably the best bourbon in terms of a quintessential bourbon.
Now on to Coopers Craft Barrel Reserve! This is similar in how I feel about Elijah Craig. Well rounded and not pricey at $35.
I have Baker 7 Year bourbon as my next best bourbon for 2023 and 2024. This packs a punch and acts like a higher proof longer aged Jim Beam Repeal Batch. Which both are ironically distilled by Jim Beam!
Last, but my favorite is the unique and never duplicated Smoke Wagon Uncut and Unfiltered. I love Smoke Wagon Uncut and Unfiltered for its bite and roller coaster of flavor that lasts a while. You will not forget this one, in a good way!
You must buy these and try these, if you are into bourbon! The question is, is it bourbon night? For me that is Friday or Saturday. Thanks for watching!

Do not use fuel with ethanol in it! Especially for generators. Store fuel two years or three years or one year by using different amounts of VP Racing Fuel Stabilizer. I use 1 oz per 1 gallon of fuel, which says 3 years on the bottle, and I use it within two years and it works awesome. Although you could go to 3 years with that ratio for the best long term fuel storage. Be prepared, not scared. Fuel storage preparedness is a good thing!

From Clyde Mays: "Today we bring you Special Reserve Straight Bourbon. A select reserve of our special stock that is non chill filtered and aged 6 years in American Oak Barrels. Incredibly balanced with a smooth long finish. You get a generous amount of orchard fruits on the nose and clove and spice on the palate.."

I really wanted to love Heaven Hill Bottled in Bond Bourbon, and thought it could compete to be the best. But it is not even budget bourbon. Heaven Hill Bottled in Bond Bourbon lacks complexity, body but it makes up for it in price! In the wrong way. Expensive for what you get, with Heaven Hill Bottled in Bond Bourbon, in my opinion. The question is, is it bourbon night? For me that is Friday or Saturday. Thanks for watching!
From Heaven Hill: "This Kentucky Bourbon pays tribute to the earliest days of the Distillery’s history when in 1939 it released Heaven Hill Bottled-in-Bond. The namesake brand quickly became the number-one-selling Bourbon whiskey in the state of Kentucky. Still today, the craftsmanship poured into this bottle by the same founding family meets the exacting standards first set forth in the Bottled-in-Bond act of 1897."
Nose: Warm notes of vanilla, honey, and a rich caramel sweetness
Taste: Smooth, warm and sweet with a subtle rye spice note; caramel and honey mingle with just enough oak and char to round out the richness

A best bourbon, the Coopers' Craft Barrel Reserve is 100 proof and delightful. Well rounded, the Coopers' Craft Barrel Reserve is on par with Elijah Craig, Henry McKenna Bottled in Bond and reminds me of another Brown-Forman offering, the Old Forester Statesman. Grab it if you see it! The question is, is it bourbon night? For me that is Friday or Saturday. Thanks for watching!
From Coopers Craft: "Coopers’ Craft Barrel Reserve is born from our one-of-a-kind, chiseled and charred American White Oak barrel. This expression is a bold and complex Kentucky bourbon bottled at 100 proof."
Nose: Caramel and cotton candy coat fresh apple, pear and citrus fruit atop vanilla wafers dusted with sharp cinnamon.
Taste: Assertive cinnamon spice softens to a lingering apple and clean oak note.
Distillery: Brown-Forman Vol: 100 Proof Age: N/A Classification: Straight Bourbon Whiskey Mashbill Breakdown: Old Forester’s standard bourbon mashbill of 72% corn,18% rye and 10% malt and the bourbon mash bill used by the Early Times brand – 79% corn, 11% rye and 10% malted barley.

Allow it to sit and it will go from milky to black over time. Do a good three coats. Once three coats are on and any excess has been removed, let it dry over night. I recommend doing it in a plastic container, as if you do it on paper it will adhere to the paper.

(Bears, Mountain Lions, Etc.)CaptainBerz2023-08-13 | Do Glock, M&P, XD and SIG suck against bears and mountain lions for wilderness pistol carry? Dangerous game while backpacking means you should have a solid gun like a revolver. But, are semi-autos just as reliable as revolvers? The best bear backup gun, can be a solid 10MM from Glock, M&P, XD or SIG. But people always say revolvers always work, even when something is directly against the muzzle. True! Now, semi-auto like Glock, M&P, SIG and XD, do not fire if the muzzle is pressed against something like a brown grizzly bear! But, if you have a light on the Glock 20, P320-XTEN, M&P 10MM or XD-M® Elite 4.5" OSP you will not have that issue. A Surefire X300 Ultra protrudes from the from, provides 1,000 Lumens and is made for abuse.
Get one, slap it on your wilderness (like Alaska) semi-auto pistol and feel safe against black bear, brown bear, grizzly bear, mountain lions, moose, boar, and more!

(Bear, Moose, Mountain Lions)CaptainBerz2023-08-06 | Are Revolvers better than Semi-Automatic pistols like Glock 20 10MM? Not at all. Revolvers and semi-auto pistols like Glock 20+ years ago maybe there was a point that revolvers always work. Which still then was not true. But, after shooting 20,000+ pistol rounds in my life, I can attest that people stating this myth, revolvers work and auto pistols do not, is false. If you use good ammo and shoot your defensive ammo at the range regularly and it works, there is zero reason not to carry an auto pistol (Glock, xD, M&P, SIG) in the wilderness against things like Bear (Brown, Black, Grizzly), Moose, Mountain Lions, etc. No, revolvers are not better than Glocks when it comes to reliability.
So carry your 10MM (Like a Glock 20 Gen 5) auto with the same confidence as your .454 Casull, .44 Mag or .357 Mag revolver for bears as your wilderness carry! They are just as reliable.

Rescue dog adopting, here is advice and how to! Our rescue dog, we adopted a few months ago, was not on a whim decision. You should think about how much of your life you want to alter. If you do not want to alter your life, do not adopt a rescue dog! Dogs take time if you want to be fair to the dog and to yourself. Think about the breed. A lab mix is much different than say a shepherd mix, most of the time. Think of things like that. Good luck!

(Mystery Ranch, Eberlestock or Hill People Gear?)CaptainBerz2023-07-09 | My Hunting Pack Setup for 2023 is different. I like Hill People Gear and Mystery Ranch over what I used last year, Eberlestock. The main hunting pack need, the best packs, is ability to stow your rifle. If you hunt in areas hard to get to, stowing rifle is a must! The best hunting pack setup has a quick access area, stowing rifle and a easy to get to main pouch.
I converted my Hill People Gear Ute pack to suite my needs, but it felt to busy and while it would work, I wanted something more compact yet have the same features. I saw the new Mystery Ranch Pop Up 40 and was intrigued. I got the Mystery Ranch Pop Up 40` and moved my Hill People Gear Rifle Stock Pocket Pouch and Canteen pouch over to it and it works well! This is what I will use deer hunting in 2023. Post about your elk, deer, bear, whitetail buck, caribou hunting setup below!

(Training & Range vs Concealed Carry & Defensive Ammo)CaptainBerz2023-06-11 | What is the best 9mm ammo(training, range, concealed carry or defense)? The best 9mm ammo(training, range, ccw or defense) setup is one that your training/range ammo has similar groupings as your defensive ammo. For me using Federal 124gr +P HST 9mm ammo for defense and Winchester 124gr NATO (+P) FMJ for the range has proven to be a good combo. I also use Federal 147gr +P Solid Core for wilderness carry, which performs with reasonable groupings compared to my training/range and defensive ammo. Shoot your defensive/concealed carry ammo! Make sure it works, and sight it in to that. While your groupings will never be perfectly the same, paying attention to what is similar will help keep you consistent when training or when you might have to use your 9mm in self defense!
My Ammo Used: Winchester 9mm NATO FMJ - 396 ft/lbs / 1200 fps Federal +P 124gr HST - 396 ft/lbs / 1200 fps Federal 147gr +P Solid Core - 409 ft/lbs / 1120 fps Fiocchi 124gr FMJ - 365 ft/lbs /1150 fps

Here is the best .308 deer, elk, moose, bear, caribou, reindeer, coyote, boar, and more hunting ammo I have shot and heard about. The best is made by Nosler, Swift and Federal in my opinion. I have shot many 308 bullets and ammunition through various rifles. I currently use a Ruger 18" American Hunter Predator, which is a nice lightweight rifle. But have also used a Winchester Model 70. The best hunting ammo is ammunition that puts down the animal. Combining good shot placement and good bullets does that! Here are my tops picks in order.

The Glock 20 Gen 5 10MM is a solid wilderness backpacking hiking (bear) pistol. While M&P and XD are also options in the 10MM market, the Glock 20 Gen 5 10MM is an old standby. The Gen 4 Glock 20 was solid, but not refined in many ways. The new Glock 20 Gen 5 10MM is refined, and fits most budget and is really the best 10MM on the market in my opinion. Glocks are easy to shoot and understand. Change out the sights (Check out my "The Only Glock Mod You MUST Do Video: youtu.be/LawAFfk35CY) and you are in business!

Yes, bear spray is a must, along with a firearm, in my opinion. Bears, and even large animals like Moose, can pose a threat to you. While most encounters with bears, like brown and grizzly bears in Alaska, are nerve racking but not violent, depending on the situation, a very small amount can be. Everyone mentions the 44 Magnum as the end all be all caliber revolver for bears. But, the it's not realistic for everyone to use a 44 Magnum is a falsehood. Take your friends to the range and have everyone shoot a 44 Magnum bear load. You will see what I mean.
Moving down to the .357 Magnum, while much more controllable, you now have a capacity and weight problem. Only 6, 7 or 8 rounds available in .357 Magnum. Also, you cannot attach a light! In comes the 10MM. Similar ballistics to the .357 Magnum, but 16 rounds in the Glock 20! I have a Gen 5 Glock 20 I just purchased and found it much easier to control than even the .357 Magnum. Just the nature of a revolver, unable to get a super high grip, versus a semi-auto pistol where you can get a higher grip and control is better.
Do not think about 9mm in big bear and animal country. That is just a stupid argument. So for me Gen 5 Glock 20 with a Surefire X300 Ultra light checks all the boxes. Great ballistics, capacity, lighter weight, faster reloads and you have a light for dawn, dusk and night time problems! Loaded with Underwood 220gr Flat Nose Hard Cast Black Cherry ammo! Also as great hunting sidearm option.

In a chest rig, like Hill People Gear, you can use it without length changes, etc. and use the same holster. Using a Raven Vanguard 3 Surefire X300 holster, you can use both the Glock 20 Gen 5 (any Generation) and a Glock 19 for instance. Without changing the holster out! If you go different places, like we do between Pennsylvania and Alaska, and you use different calibers, like I do with 9MM and 10MM, this will work excellently!
From Hill People Gear: "Kit Bags are our original and most popular item. Kit Bags were born out of the desire to discreetly carry a pistol in a way that doesn't interfere with a full size backpack. Kit Bags are so handy for keeping small items close at hand on the trail (or in the ATV, or in the canoe, or on the stand, etc.) that many folks choose to use them even without a pistol."
