Greatest source of hunting videos i've ever seen. I've been a deer hunter my whole life and really appreciate a no nonsence and realistic look at a real life hunt.
Yes, lots of items I have no relationship with are in my pack. And most items I use for sponsorship I was buying with my own money, at full retail, long before I stated these platforms. Thanks for watching.
First time watching your video on TH-cam and I have to say I'm impressed with your no BS approach to talking about your gear and not over talking the why and whats. Nicely done
Jeff Purcell - you subscribe bro Randy is the real deal. Been watching him on TV and on the TH-cam. Also Steven Rinella Legit too. Oh, get a howa alpine too
In the Marine Corps we lived by the motto "Breeze and Freeze" long humps made us shed every single thing that wasn't absolutely necessary. For a tent I preferred nothing but a gortex sleeping bag cover. Good for rain, snow, mud, sand, you name it. Some really shitty nights sleep. Good times regardless!
I really like watching YOUR advice/info videos. I feel that I am getting your honest unbiased opinion based on experience/what works and not on sponsorship. Maybe all my brands aren't the same as yours but I can apply the basics. THANK YOU!
Randy not all your viewers are guys lol I've lived her 14 yrs and husband is from South ... my new journey I will be hunting by myself from now on . So I appreciate the insight from a hunter been there done that man . I'm trying to figure out the book now to apply for different areas and put in for draws
Thanks Randy, I just ordered my Kifaru Universal Gun Bearer $46 shipped. The Universal one attaches the butt stock carrier to the waist belt with velcro (not MOLLE) so it can be used with packs other than Kifaru's. I carry a very large, heavy barreled rifle and I haven't found a sling that I can stand yet. I hunt the Northwest also. Some of the same places as you. I think this is going to be my ticked. Thanks again.
would love to win a great mystery pack also great infor on basic gear along with others. thanks for taking us along on your hunts all these years Shooter
TENT-> Tarptent Moment DW solo tent with 2 doors and 2 vestibules. Plenty for me. CAMERA-> Olympus TG4. Does everything I want including videos with sound. COOKING-> I carry a DIY fleece "cozy" to slip my quart freezer bag of hot freeze-dried food o keep it hot for 10 to 15 minutes. TP-> These days of the pandemic "Mountain Money" is now called "ButtCoin". ;o) My mountain rifle is a 6.5 PRC Browning X-Bolt Pro (6 lbs. 3 oz.) and Bushnell LRTS 4.5 - 18 x 44 scope W/illuminated G3 reticle. SHOOTING STICKS->I use hiking poles with Quick stiX discs below the handles to instantly make them into a solid, adjustable bipod.
7:04..... Great to hear! I had a couple guys haggling me, telling me how "new" I was to hunting because I had an empty chamber unless I was getting ready to fire. Like being "new" to hunting, and not trusting my mechanical safety was a bad thing. Makes me think everyone, regardless of age, should take hunters education. Not that it would change much with guys like them.
Jake Martineau a lot of people seem to confuse hunting practices with self defense practices when it comes to this topic. When hunting i rarely carry with a loaded chamber. Exception is when hunting ground dwelling upland bird like quail or pheasant. Kinda hard not to then.
Great video wish I had seen it before asking about the gun bearer (I've ordered one). I just have to say that baby wipes are IMO so much better than tp especially on hunts and backpacking. The can get wet, they go farther, and clean better. THey can also clean your whole body.
John Harris The new parents choice wipes at Walmart are much thicker than any of the previous wipes offered by Walmart, and you get 100 to a packet - good stuff.
Kirkland Signature wipes from Costco. I keep whatever I need in a sealed Ziploc bag. Besides doing the typical paperwork they will take stains out of clothing like magic, I keep them in my briefcase in case a business lunch turns messy. If they dry out just add some water, they still work!
Wish i could be hunting, would love to be out in nature like you are :( For the time that i am not permitted to hunt, please keep me warm with your amazing videos. Happy hunting to you Randy!
Randy, I use frame packs to pack out my harvest almost 80% of the time, I tend to over think & try different methods or organization of managing the load. sometimes it works & sometimes it doesn't. It can be frustrating to have to stop periodically to readjust reload, or reorganize the load. after viewing your Alaska blacktail hunt & observing your loaded trek down the mountain I would appreciate a video of your secure loading method.
I use the Mystery Ranch packs. They have a bag attached to the frame that allows everything to be organized. Lots of compression straps, so the load stays stable and secure. We are in the middle of a video about those packs and how we use them. They are the best packs I have ever found.
Does mystery ranch make the rifle "holster"? gun bearer.... did I miss that question/answer? anyway if you already answered it i am sorry for the repeat. thanks for taking time and answering the other questions I have asked.
Randy, have you ever heard of Vorn Equipment? They have an interesting pack that allows you to have access to your rifle with out having to remove the pack. I am curious on your thoughts. I appreciate all your input and information you have on your channel. Thanks
Sorry i have a question.. if the water is for camping only.. way don't carry a 25lt jerry for each person? I allways carry in my 4x4 50lt jerry for camp drinking, and i use purification tablets for any other water.
First time I have been to your site and found it useful but I have a question about overnight gear. Are ALL of your hunts based on CERTAIN ability to return to your camp or vehicle but do you not see the value of carrying a minimum of gear to ensure that you can survive an unexpected overnight stay in the field should you take a tumble and cannot hike out to camp or truck or if a nasty storm were to roll in unexpectedly? Personally, I don't care HOW fastidious I am in checking the weather reports prior to a hunt or if I'll be covering a lot of ground during a hunt, but I've been caught out in a storm or two that I couldn't see due to tall hills or mountains and I'm STUCK in place for at least a few hours. Sure, your helpers or other hunters "might" be hauling a tarp or such, but if out alone, if you don't have it, you cannot create it out of thin air. So as a minimum, I carry a quality poncho I can hunker down inside of alongside a small fire under some trees and not be at the mercy of some bad storm event. It just makes sense to carry a bit of extra weight and bulk to ensure I am not overly inconvenienced or facing a storm where I can't get at least a little out of the worst conditions. Call me paranoid but IF it is going to happen it seems to ALWAYS happen to ME. A quick example: my Dad and I were out bear hunting and a rainstorm came out of nowhere. As I had a quality rubberized Military style poncho, we were able to snuggle together under a broad pine tree, gather some small tinder and build a small fire over which we were able to heat some water, add some instant coffee and wait out the storm while munching on some trail mix and sharing a large canteen cup of hot coffee. Talk about a Bonding moment for Dad and I. As much as a PITA as that experience was, Dad and I were SO happy we were able to stay (mostly) dry and warm and nibble on some snacks and coffee until the storm passed (about 2 hours). While Dad has been gone almost 12 years now, even though that situation was nasty, we survived, solved all the problems of the world and shared some time that will stay with me FOREVER, or st least until I join Pop in that Great Hunting Camp in The Sky one day in the far-off future. In closing, thank you for your site and I look forward to watching many more of your video's. I get to live and hunt vicariously through your hunting exploits. Take Care and God Bless.
In my pack is everything I would need in the event of an overnight requirement due to emergency. Extra layer or two of clothes, fire starter, emergency shelter space blanket, water, water sterilization drops, first aid kit, etc. It weighs a few extra pounds to carry, but is worth the comfort of knowing I am prepared for most any emergency. Glad you found us and thanks for watching.
Does this sling work with packs other than Kifaru? I use an Eberlestock J34. Kifaru's website says it only fit's Kifaru pack belts. I kinda find that a little hard to believe. But, if that's true, that's no bueno.
Randy, love the videos! Wanting to get the item that attaches to the pack and carries the gun. What is it called or what is the manufacture? Also, in one of your videos, you talk about the various seasons of the bull elk... early, late, rut, etc etc etc. Could you make a video that talks a little more about each of those time frames, and typically what we can expect to see or watch for. Being new at this, I'm hoping to figure out more of the characteristics of the elk during each of those periods so I can hone in on them more. For example, are the elk up higher in the pine and quakers, or down lower in the junipers in the early or rut or late season. Hope that makes sense. oH.. I"m in Utah. Thanks again for all the work you do. Ever need a camera guy or editor LMK. Nate
This playlist has videos that talk about all of those season of the elk calendar - th-cam.com/play/PLLdxutimd-JucEFczP4LgCS75Lt7caIMm.html Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the very helpful info. I have been searching for a good setup w binos, range finder, and gps, and your FHF system looks pretty good. How do you like the gps carrier case by fhf? i saw it in one of your videos, but don't see you wearing it much? Really enjoy your videos.
hey randy! love the vids! man i really have to say i woukd LOVE to see a western Oregon Blacktail hunt! thats where im from and theres not many good filmed hunts for blacktails except just a handfull.
Columbia Blacktail is on my list, for sure. Part of why you don't see many shows from there is how thick the vegetation is. It is very hard to get good footage. Thanks for watching.
Randy Newberg, Hunter exactly! the pnw is very intimidating to most hunters across the u.s.a. make sure if you do a western oregon or washington blacktail hunt you film it because it would be awesome to watch!
Depends on conditions and time of year. I have synthetic bags and down bags. I have bags from 40F all the way down to 0F. For the gun bearer, Google the term. Many companies are now making them, just depends on whether you want a sling mounted version or one without a sling. Thanks for watching.
Link works for me. The link shows the military version with a pack frame. The sling itself is far less expensive. If you can't find it on their site, call them to see if they still sell it.
well I see the lack of confidence you have in your rifle, that the safety system will work properly . weather there is a bullet in the chamber or in the clip there should no reason that rifle should ever fire u. So I got 4 things from this , you don't trust your rifle to preform up to standard, with the safety on a rifle should never fire and should be as safe as me holding a round in my hand. 2. the safety system of a howa is in a bad spot and may click off by it self and that's the reason you don't put a round in the chamber, I mean by its self like bumping or hitting it on things. Or 3. you point your rifle in bad directions that could possibly put the people around you in danger!! Or finally number 4 you feel the need to be a responsible gun owner and you believe in murphy's law if it can go wrong it will!! Everyone as far as I am aware of has walked away from your hunting show alive and that is an awesome testament to proper gun use and figure out one step that could eliminate any variable that could possibly get any hurt by one simple step , don't put a round in the chamber until your gunna fire that weapon. Now I hunt alone a lot and I put a round in the chamber the second I leave the truck . my ruger m77 has a three position safety where its kind of hard to get it off safety when its in the third position which locks the bolt and the safety is on. I trust my rifle when I alone . Well heres an example you can drive like the biggest idiot in the world speeding doing crazy stuff.. what ever your alone doing this . Now pretend your vehicle has you family riding alone with you . You are responsible for there life's and I bet your going to error on the side of caution. That is the same way you should friends and family in the woods. And while in the woods yeah definitely don't for get the tp!!
Greatest source of hunting videos i've ever seen. I've been a deer hunter my whole life and really appreciate a no nonsence and realistic look at a real life hunt.
The reason I really appreciate Randy's equipment advice is that he endorses items that he is'nt sponsored by.
Yes, lots of items I have no relationship with are in my pack. And most items I use for sponsorship I was buying with my own money, at full retail, long before I stated these platforms. Thanks for watching.
First time watching your video on TH-cam and I have to say I'm impressed with your no BS approach to talking about your gear and not over talking the why and whats. Nicely done
I'm more interested in people going hunting. They'll figure out what equipment works best for their hunting style without me hounding them.
Jeff Purcell - you subscribe bro Randy is the real deal. Been watching him on TV and on the TH-cam. Also Steven Rinella Legit too. Oh, get a howa alpine too
In the Marine Corps we lived by the motto "Breeze and Freeze" long humps made us shed every single thing that wasn't absolutely necessary. For a tent I preferred nothing but a gortex sleeping bag cover. Good for rain, snow, mud, sand, you name it. Some really shitty nights sleep. Good times regardless!

My uncle taught me the same thing. I don't have a round chambered when I am hiking around either. Always keep a mind towards safety when in the field.
Your the best, I feel ready for my first hunt
Good luck. I hope it is a great hunt.

I doubt it. Requires a good waist belt to support the weight.
Thanks for the reply.
How many of those yeti coolers do you pack to drive elk meat home
Dear Randy Newbergs do u build camp fires to keep warm will the smoke be bad for u when ur hunting and will scent killer take the smeel away?
I often do. Smoke will not scare anything that I've encountered.
Randy, how come you don't carry any cordage or rope? I find it invaluable in the field.
I usually carry a small piece. That would have been a good thing for me to add in this video. Thanks for the input.
No problem, thank you for all the effort you put into your channel, one of my favourites.
