I've been using the LPP the last 5 years now in AK and it's been great. A little loft has been lost, but it still keeps me warm. I burned a hole in the pants at moose camp one year, but after T tape it's been fine.
I got a chance to play with the Wrangell pack at the outdoors show last weekend. Seems pretty slick can't remember the price off the top of my head. If I ever wear the barneys bag out on my frame that's what I'll replace it with.
I won one years ago at a ducks unlimited banquet and it has been fantastic. The only issue I ever had is when I fell and the gun went under water in a marsh. After cleaning it up it was fine.
I forgot to mention Cedric goes to a lot of the SCI shows, so it's been nice being able to talk to him in person. He's usually at the Alaska SCI banquet every year.
I've gone Hunting with Cape to Cairo twice. Once in south Africa, second trip was to Namibia. I've had a fantastic time with Cedric. His wife runs a safari business that we plan on using for our honeymoon eventually(can't remember the name). He is going to work with me to hunt everywhere we go...
I wish they were cheaper, but for something small and light I can throw in my kill kit I'll give them a shot. I party drew an elk tag on Afognak this year, so i'm curious to see how they will work.
Update if anyone cares. Got a response from Wiser Precision today. They are hoping to have the "Pynch Pulley" live on the website in a month or two. They said inventory isn't an issue, but there are other things that have to be done before the official launch on the website. Price will be closer...
