The tried and true
Good Gear Matters When You're Miles From the Truck
When you're hunting, fishing, camping, or spending the night on top of a mountain, the gear you bring can make or break the trip.
The 208 Boys have learned that lesson the fun way—and sometimes the hard way.
Austin and Petey aren't interested in having the newest gear just because it's new. They stick with equipment that works, holds up, and earns its spot in the truck, pack, or hunting camp.
Over the years, there have been a few tried-and-true brands and pieces of gear they continue to count on. This is where we're sharing them.
