Gear Drop: Sheep Season

Over the past couple hunting seasons our founder Ryan Efurd, along with Content Director Kurt Rutter and Designer/Photographer Ryan Lee, have set out on multiple sheep hunts in the farthest corners of the world. From the Himalayan Mountains in Nepal, the Brooks Range in Alaska, Sredinny Mountains of Kamchatka Russia, the Chinati’s in West Texas, and the desert mountains of Sonora Mexico, each destination bears its own set of extreme country and weather conditions. Having the right gear in your pack can determine your success and in some cases, life or death.

Our Team has put the CANIS gear through the absolute worst and harshest of conditions. One thing consistently remains the same, THE GEAR FLAT OUT WORKS! Although the decision on what to bring and what not to bring entirely depends on the weather and the terrain, we have compiled a list of the gear that is consistently with us on all of our sheep hunts.

Sheep season is right around the corner, so gear up, train hard, and make some long-lasting memories. Sheep hunts are once in a lifetime experiences, and being prepared physically, mentally, and gear wise can make or break you. If you have any questions about what to take on an upcoming hunt, shoot us an email at info@canisathlete.com. Good luck and hope you enjoy the list.
