Anyone have this Asbell Pathfinder ?
« on: October 27, 2019, 02:53:15 PM »
  I been eyeballing this Pathfinder and wanting a new one mainly due because my 2xl is getting a bit "Tight" in the "Grocery department" area if ya know what I mean ?
 So I could only find the size I am considering in this color called "Highland Plaid" and just curious if anyone has a picture of themselves wearing that color pattern. I don't need to see other colors cause I seen most of them but would like to see this color out in nature and what you think about it if you have it.
  I can't tell if it's got a dark blue or black in the pattern but maybe someone can tell me?
  Thanks in advance.

I don't have that color, but I would definitely hunt in it.

Looks really good.  I would not hesitate to hunt in it either

You’ll have to model it Keefer’s.

  Mitch I may have to wait until the Fat man comes down the Chimney on Christmas morning but I have the Evening stand green plaid pull over but it's like trying to put on those compression socks and by the time I get it on I have to sit down and catch my breath from the fight I just had trying to squirm into it.
 That one is just the pullover .
  I really like the Kangaroo pouch option with a 1/2 zipper but need a 3 xxxl due to a wife that cooks really well.
  Poor Mrs. Asbell will probably run out of that wool pattern trying to make one to fit this frame

I have read that deer vision picks up the blue side of the color spectrum to the point where it is much more intense for them than it is for us.  In fact, prior to posting this, I wanted to confirm that memory and did a google search on deer vision range and quickly found several research based articles that confirmed it.  That being said, I would wait for a different color combination to become available.

This is me waiting for all the "I've killed deer wearing blue jeans" testimonials to come out...    :archer2:

Hi Keefer. Fully understand your feelings about getting into a tight pullover. I wear a Asbell 2xl comfortably but just last week purchased a 2xl Pathfinder here on TG. The half zipper makes it so much easier to get into. Contact Shiela personally and ask her about making one in 3xl. If there is any way that she can acommodate you, she will. She is a great lady who provides good products at a fair price. Just remember you need to give her time to get it done. Christmas orders are piling up.  :shaka:

I think Mr. Dudley has is right deer can see blue so I've read from some biological writings, and I have read it numerous times . I have the evening stand brown and I think it is a great camo if I wear a Sitka gear shirt or jacket under it comes off easily if I wear my other wool or fleece I need help getting it off.

Well yesterday I checked my email and had a message from Asbells that Teresa has just listed a New pattern in the Pathfinder with a little green tone to it and soft gray I think.
   Only problem it doesn't show a 3 XL but I'm sort of liking that pattern cause I mainly stay on the ground and use root balls or natural blind set ups when available .
   I believe its called the "Woodland Ghost" pattern?
It's been just listed yesterday in the New Items section on their web page.

I have the woodland magic.
I used to have evening brown.
Great hunting hoodies. I live the big warn kangaroo pouch.
I like that new pattern as well. I might need to buy me an early Christmas present.

   Well I texted Mrs . Teressa and asked if she could make one or have one of the New woodland Ghost she has advertised but she texted me back she doesn't have any of that material but should next spring so that's out for now.
 I also texted back to see what she had in my size with some green plaid in a Pathfinder and she said she would look and get back to me but haven't heard anything back on that yet?
  I may just have to use my original and lose a few pounds for now which isn't a problem.

Keefer,

Try ordering that Woodland Ghost online. I could be mistaken but I think it IS in stock.

Michael,
  Did your brother get the New pattern called Woodland Ghost? in 3xl?
 When I text Teressa last week she replied in a matter of minutes she didn't have that material until spring of next year?
  Maybe she only made them up to x Large with what material she had but I need a 3 xl and asked if she had anything with some green plaid mix.
  Still waiting to hear back from her to see what she has.
 I did get my old pullover on but what a job . My buddy keeps asking for it but as long as I can squeeze in it I  will hunt with it on. Kind of looks like a  :biglaugh: sweater on an elephant but hey I love the way it blends in with my surroundings .

I love mine but I dont know if they make the pattern anymore. I think it was called northern lights. Absolutely love their stuff and been wanting the timber or woodland ghost even though it doesnt really snow here. Evening stand brown would probably be good though.  Anyone tried their haversacks?  Always wanted one.

Dave,
   I have one of their Haversacks and use it every time I hunt and love it.
Once you get over folks calling it a “ Man Purse” you have no worry’s  :biglaugh:
 Today I had a flash light,water bottle,water bottle container filled with extra batteries,tags,rubber gloves,extra back up small flashlight,ink pen,hunting knife,small retractable ceramic stick,bag of beef jerky,roll of orange marking tape,gloves,fleece face mask or neck gator ,compass with whistle,small brush clippers,shooting glove,grunt tube,doe bleat call,scent dispenser,wind detector in bottle,small bottle of cover sent ,bow stringer and if I missed something I will come back and ad it.
   You can carry a lot in one those haversacks but I may have to clean it out again but not sure what I need to remove  lol.... :archer:
