Tree Stand Safety Awareness Foundation Partners with the Eichlers to Promote Tree Stand Safety |
|
MUSKEGON, Mich. (October 14, 2021) – Blocker Outdoors Pro Ambassadors, Fred and Michele Eichler, operate Fulldraw Outfitters in Trinidad, Colorado, providing high-quality guided and non-guided hunts for Colorado big game. In addition to guiding customers, the Eichlers enjoy bowhunting, predator hunting, trapping, writing, wildlife photography, and spending time outdoors with their three boys – all in addition to operating a working cattle farm and commercial hay operation from their ranch. The Eichler family lives a field-to-table lifestyle, which is chronicled on their hit Sportsman Channel TV show, Everything Eichler. The Eichler’s popularity comes as a result of the authentic people they are, the simple way they live, and the fantastic things they’ve accomplished through their own efforts. Fred, for example, was the first person to take all 29 North American big game animals recognized by Pope & Young with a recurve bow. Amidst all the showbiz in today’s hunting industry, the Eichlers are as genuine and as humble as they come and are always ready to lend a helping hand and do what’s best for the bowhunting industry. Most recently, they have partnered with the not-for-profit Tree Stand Safety Awareness (TSSA) Foundation to help advance the organization’s mission of promoting tree stand safety awareness. “Tree stand safety awareness is one of the most important things for any hunter who climbs into a tree,” says Fred. “I have personally been touched by tree stand safety issues; a friend of mine fell out of a tree and is permanently paralyzed to this day.” Michelle echoes the importance of tree stand safety: “We’ve all got lives outside of hunting that require good physical health to live fully, in addition to loved ones who need and expect us to come home from each hunt, safely and intact. That’s why we’re doing what we can to support the TSSA and its mission of getting more hunters to practice tree stand safety.” Specifically, the Eichler’s have donated a 2022 guided Colorado archery antelope hunt to promote the cause. The four-day hunt will include lodging, food, and guide service in Trinidad, Colorado. One grand prize winner will be chosen at random. |

And to further support the TSSA’s mission of promoting tree stand safety, Blocker Outdoors will also donate ten Tree Spider safety harnesses for use during TSSA educational seminars, which will be given away by TSSA seminar participants. “The Eichler’s generosity will help in a tremendous way raising awareness of the importance of tree stand safety,” says TSSA President, Glen Mayhew. “This is a shining example of how the outdoors industry can get behind our unifying mission of significantly reducing tree stand incidents through promotion, education and best practices.” Entering to win is easy; simply go to https://www.northamericanwhitetail.com/content/tssaeichler/452090, enter your email address, review and accept the contest rules, then click enter before the contest ends on November 30.

Warmth Through Loft ScentLok’s new BE:1 Puffy Jacket and Pant bring quality and field performance to a popular style MUSKEGON, Mich. (June 24, 2026) – Some things just look warm. Regrettably, a percentage of those things fail to live up to their appearances. Such is often the case with outerwear. More specifically, outerwear for hunting. Consider the puffy jacket. You can literally slide into one online for under $40. The Photoshopped Ai model sure looks svelte and comfy, but that unrecognizable brand is a little wonky. Unpronounceable, really. Never seen it before. And why is it only available from international ecommerce juggernauts? Because it’s crap. The polar opposite is true when new hunting outerwear drops from a legacy manufacturer, like ScentLok. And so it is with their new BE:1 Puffy Jacket and Pant. Dark Slate NEW Realtree XT-3 Delivering on-demand warmth, the BE:1 Jacket and Pant are extraordinarily comfortable and sporty looking to boot. Typically, ScentLok product descriptions open with the company’s “fabric-first” promise, but in this case, we’re diving into the insulation first. The outerwear duo’s Sorona® Aura insulation delivers higher fill power than similar weight polyester insulations, providing a lighter, warmer garment with less filling, which allows for greater packability. Made from the Sorona polymer, a performance fiber that is about 37% plant‑based rather than fully petroleum‑derived, Sorona Aura traps air while remaining thin and flexible and less bulky than traditional synthetic fills. It’s also breathable, designed to let moisture vapor easily escape, helping regulate body temperature and reduce that awful clammy feeling during active use. Sorona Aura also maintains its loft wash after wash. ScentLok takes another step by thermal-mapping the insulation into particular zones. In the BE:1 Puffy Jacket, for example, the chest area – the body’s furnace – contains 80g of Sorona Aura, while the arm insulation is throttled back to 60g to advance mobility. The BE:1 Puffy Pant features 60g of insulation throughout. The final insulation related trait is the baffling. Those sewn seams with individual insulation pockets aren’t for style-points only – they hold the insulation in place, defying gravity and time. Additionally, baffling promotes lofting, which means more warm air is captured. Despite the luscious and lofty insulation, the BE:1 Jacket and Pant are surprisingly packable. “They easily store in a field bag or daypack, so you can carry them into the field for a sit or take them off if the weather heats up,” said Allie. To thwart the olfactory senses of big game, the BE:1 Puffy Jacket and Pant include ScentLok’s Carbon Alloy® scent control technology. Carbon Alloy combines treated carbon, activated carbon, and zeolite to absorb odors emitted by your body. Carbon Alloy utilizes natural coconut shell carbon, as it has the largest internal surface area of any carbon on earth. This massive surface area promotes the adsorption of the broadest scent molecule range. It innately secures these molecules and holds them until you reactivate your gear in a household dryer. The BE:1 Puffy Jacket and Pant are structured of a durable, ripstop nylon outer fabric with soft peached lining – the lining feels easy on the skin and welcomes layering like butter. The shell is also DWR treated to help shed moisture and resist staining. The elbows are articulated for improved fit and mobility. Articulation, or pre-curvature, is a design feature where the fabric at the elbow is shaped and seamed to match the natural bend of the arm. The jacket also features a high-neck for added wind protection and an intelligently designed hood. The hood is constructed of three unique fabric patterns for better sculpting and hold, even while turning from side to side. Moreover, the hood is purposely cut to position behind your eye for better peripheral vision. The BE:1 Puffy Jacket also offers five strategically placed pockets for securing essentials and an adjustable waist to lock in heat and customize fit. The matching pants include specialty features as well, like invisible zippers on the center front fly and pair of front waist pockets. An internal drawcord can be tied on the outside or inside of the waistband. And 18-inch side seam zippers yield easy donning and doffing in the field, boots on.
