Stone Glacier Solo
After packing out my last bull elk with a 15-year-old, ski-specific backpack, I knew it was time for an upgrade. In summer 2013, I came across a new company out of Bozeman
The Solo is 3,300 cubic inches and the frame comes with a load shelf so you can expand the pack by an additional 2,700 cubic inches – this allows the Solo to carry an entire boned-out mule deer. Designed as a no frills bag, it has only one exterior and one interior pocket, but the materials are tough – the bag is built with Cordura 500 and Xpac fabrics, as well as heavy-duty, 1-inch military-approved buckles. The Solo is hydration compatible, with full-zip access to the main compartment. If you plan on packing your game out, look no further than the Stone Glacier Solo. It’s lightweight, tough and built for hunters. $559
Schnee’s Beartooth Insulated boot
If you like to hunt from your feet and not a tree stand, take a look at Schnee’s Beartooth Insulated boot. Made in Italy, the Beartooth Insulated is an 8-inch leather boot with 200 grams of Thinsulate and a waterproof, breathable liner. It’s a great all-around boot for both archery and rifle hunters that will see temps from the 80s down to 10 F in the mountains. Weighing in at only 3.6 pounds the Beartooth Insulate is lightweight, comfortable and has great traction with its Vibram Tsavo outsole.
Not as stiff as some of Schnee’s other boots, the Beartooth Insulated still has great support and mine hardly required a break-in period. With almost 70 miles on them this archery season, they’ve performed great in the wet weather and kept my feet dry and blister-free. $389

We all are familiar with using a limited palette, but do you use one? Do you know how to use a limited palette to create different color combinations? Are you tired of carrying around 15-20 different tubes when you paint plein air? Have you ever wanted to create a certain “mood” in a painting but failed? Do you create a lot of mud? Do you struggle to achieve color harmony? All these problems are addressed in John’s workbook in clear and concise language!
Based on the bestselling “Limited Palatte, Unlimited Color” workbook written by John Pototschnik, the workshop is run by Maggie Shane and Annie McCoy, accomplished landscape (acrylic) and plein air (oil) artists,exhibitors at the Big Sky Artists’ Studio & Gallery and members of the Big Sky Artists Collective.
Each student will receive a copy of “Limited Palette, Unlimited Color” to keep and take home to continue your limited palette journey. We will show you how to use the color wheel and mix your own clean mixtures to successfully create a mood for your paintings.
Each day, we will create a different limited palette color chart and paint a version of a simple landscape using John’s directives. You will then be able to go home and paint more schemes using the book for guidance.
Workshop is open to painters (oil or acrylic) of any level although students must have some basic knowledge of the medium he or she uses. Students will be provided the book ($92 value), color wheel, value scale and canvas papers to complete the daily exercises.
