    Tarptent Stratospire 1 - taller persons

    I am 6'2" as well and currently use a Stratospire 1. If I situate myself just right, neither my feet nor my head touch the inner walls but it is a tight fit. Inevitably, my feet or my head will touch at some point throughout the night so I usually situate myself so I wake up with damp feet...

    Pistol carry for women backcountry hunting, backpacking, and living in the field

    I'm currently looking for a solution to this problem as well. My girlfriend uses a regular hiking pack that has a padded belt with no attachment points. Is the paddle holster able to be used over a padded pack belt?

    Mystery ranch - noisy fabric?

    If you're serious about hunting and less so about posting Instagram pictures, some spray adhesive for fabric and a yard or so of quiet material will make any pack quiet. I save every piece of brushed or fleece fabric clothing I have to cut up and glue to noisy hunting material.

    WTB Sitka Thunderhead Gaiters

    Looking for size L/XL. Got attacked by hornets while retying my shoe and will not be going back for my right gaiter that I lost while running away. Used or new, I need some for archery season and figure I'd inquire here before buying online. Thanks

    Mystery ranch - noisy fabric?

    Mine seemed nearly just as crinkly after several hundred miles of hard use as it did new. It was noisy but most comparable options are just as loud. That being said, it was super durable.

    Seek Outside Custom Lanner

    Just wanted to give a shoutout to Seek Outside for creating quality packs. I’ve owned several packs from major brands that we all know of and recently decided to give Seek a shot. I’d been eyeing them for a while but I had been hesitant to buy because they didn’t seem to be as popular as others...

    Pics of Custom Seek Outside Packs

    Mine just arrived today! It's the 5400 (Lanner) size with a side zip, breakaway frame, internal load shelf, no face pocketing, lumbar pad, talon, and multicam suspension & accents. First ordered the 4800 in that configuration but opted for the 5400 bag because it has the built-in collar pocket...

    Knife Setup

    White River M1 Backpacker (the paracord wrapped knife). S35VN steel for less than $100. Weighs 3.25oz in it's sheath but the grip is large enough to be comfortable in my big hands. Doubles as a great knife for backpacking and daily use. Also carry a Havalon because those replaceable blades are...

    WTS/WTT Exo K3 4800 Tall Frame, Medium Belt

    Before we get to the details, this pack smells and I'm done trying to get the smell out. Maybe someone knows a trick I don't and will get a nice pack for cheap. I've tried baking soda, vinegar, enzymatic fabric cleaner, and a short stint with an ozone generator. The pack is in great shape other...

    Rank Pack Smell

    Awesome. If vinegar doesn't cut it I'll try that and then go to the ozone. Thanks for the help everyone. I read that last night but missed the enzymatic cleaner. Gonna have to try that
