Influenced

So along the theme of the day.

Has your hunting style or gear ever been influenced by an influencer?

I’ve been bullied by influencers for drinking Schmidt beer.

Probably some without realizing it. I know some climbing and outdoor gear guys from a few years back had a big influence on my clothing and equpiment selection: Ryan Jordan from Backpacking Light, Andy Kirkpatrick, Mark Twight, Steve House. They way they thought about gear as a concept, then the actual equipment appealed to me. They were sorta influencers of a certain time.

I've probably been influenced to employ more modern rifle and optics concepts by social media, which I don't mind.

In terms of hunting style, I don't think I've been influenced by outside entities much at all.

Interesting question.

I got bullied last season by influencers at a bow shop when I ask for some nock inserts for XX75s.

I exist in a state of affairs quite the opposite of sheep shape, I wear military surplus wool, shoot the most toxic lead on the market out of a dinged up rifle with unimpressive ballistics, often hunt with a slight buzz, never really glass, and wander around aimlessly and ineffectively, rarely finding much less killing my quarry, all the while poorly taking pictures of trees I think are old and ugly.

But I do have a Mystery Ranch backpack.

yeah, it's hard not to have been a little influenced when you started hunting 6 seasons ago and most of what you learned initially was from rinellas podcast.

i have a savage rifle, but that's only because that was the only left handed 30-06 on the used rack that day i walked into cabelas. coulda been damn near any brand of rifle, i just kept walking in there hoping a used lefty .06 would be there one day, and finally one was.

i was pretty influenced by the ultralight backpacking crowd before i got into hunting. i tried translating some of that gear and knowledge to hunting and i was cold as shit every night and didn't have enough room in my backpack. so randy convinced me to buy a mystery ranch. i bought some new sleep gear that was more suited to fall wintry weather instead of summer alpine.

i guess rinella convinced me to buy vortex.

otherwise i mostly wear costco pants and trail runners depending on the weather and terrain and old school GoLite for my puff wear.

no mfer is ever gonna convince me to buy a yeti cooler tho

I think it is safe to say that you didn't learn to hunt on the internet.

This’ll be rich, Brace yourself for the blue jean wearing, 30-06 shooting, cigarette smoking comments.

BUT it's hard to find functional hunting clothing for my midget lady frame that isn't total crap and can take the abuse of hopping over deadfall for 10 days straight. Their pants and early season base layers are

Hell nah.
I brought my own style to this game.

Idk, even an AI bot knows how to keep the honey holes to itself. They're more advanced than we thought!
