    Bad experiences with stone glacier packs

    Ive had nothing but good experiences with SG packs. The frame just plain works for me and doesnt even feel like Im wearing a pack. Ive run my Solo more than anything and love it for day trips. I also have a 5900, 6900, and 7900 that Im running through the paces this season. I love how well the...

    Mid-Layer Shootout Review ***Updated 2/18/23***

    Awesome review. I was originally sold on a Sitka Ambient this season until I found out the the jacket didnt have a hood and the hoody wasnt a full zip. I ended up ordering a Cirque Lite. Waiting for it to arrive but pretty happy with all the rest of my SG apparel and after reading the review I...

    New Argali Lightweight Tent Line **Review Added 7/10/22**

    The 1P inner for the Rincon is far more important! Lol

    New Argali Lightweight Tent Line **Review Added 7/10/22**

    Any word on the 1P inserts? Before I order the 2P insert. Id hate to order it then have it release a month later.

    Crispi vs Salomon

    My last pair of Salomons lasted like 3-4 months of mild use. I was really not impressed. I have a pair of Crispi thors now and first impressions are theyre tough as hell. Time will tell though.

    Best pillow for stomach sleeping in bedroll

    I carry a small pillow. I personally have tried 5 or more inflatable pillows and can never sleep worth a shit with them. I bought a small little pillow id say about 12x24 and a small compression sack and just crank it right down and it packs small enough and is comfortable as hell. I can dig it...

    New Argali Lightweight Tent Line **Review Added 7/10/22**

    Just got my Rincon 2P today (scooped a used one off the classifieds) I have to say this thing packs down to almost nothing! I am super impressed so far and once the weather clears up (-15c currently and snow) I will get it out and try it out. I picked up the carbon pole and some argali game bags...

    New Stone glacier Col 4800

    A bigger solo is probably the best explanation of this pack. I do love my solo more than any other pack ive ever owned. So maybe the big brother might not be a bad addition to the family after all. I can get away with the solo for 3 day trips in the early season maybe a little longer if I...

    New Stone glacier Col 4800

    I think id take the 6400 or 6900 over it. I do like the looks of it but wish the lid could be added.

    New Stone glacier Col 4800

    I do like the addition of the spotter pocket on the 4800 though.

    Durston X-Mid Tents

    My stakes with my older 2P are just basic shepherds hook stakes but they do work quite well. I usually carry some mini ground hogs and some off brand carbon stakes as well. Always good to have a small variety for varying ground.

    Any Goat hunters on here from British Columbia Canada?

    Im planning for an early September excursion so thanks for all the tips. I was hoping to find someone with some experience to show me the ropes but I may just tackle it solo if need be. I have a couple hunting buddies from over the years who are thinking of joining me but none of them have...

    New Stone glacier Col 4800

    I currently have a solo and a 5900 so this is a nice in-between but at the same time if I decide to add another SG pack to the mix may as well go ever bigger as I already have the mid size day/multi day pack size covered. I do really like the looks of it and with my gear that I carry I could...

    Durston X-Mid Tents

    I would say the advantage is the packed sized. The 1P is a bit smaller and takes up less space in your pack. I Own both and honestly never use my 1P. I love running a 2P tent minimum just for the comfort aspect. Sleep system I dont really skimp on comfort for that little bit of space in my pack...

    Sleeping bag choices (2)

    I have 2 years with my Taiga Ronin R20 quilt and love it. It packs down to a nalgene bottle and weighs almost nothing. Id buy a Taiga bag no hesitation if I decided to go back to a mummy bag for those colder late season hunts.
