    Which Enlightened Equipment quilt?

    I have a 20 degree EE. I got it extra wide and love it. I paired it with an Xtherm pad and a zenbivy fast sheet- there is another thread about this. Best sleep system I have found for the backcountry in my 55 years, apart from camper/ truck camping.

    El Coyote quilt on a Zenbivy light sheet?

    This. I did it and it worked excellent.

    Zen bivy sheet/ enlightened equipment quilt

    1cm loops of 2mm cord attached to a quilt with 2" rounds of tenacious tape, stuck to the quilt at 22cm intervals, starting at 35mm from the top of a quilt, works awesome! (You need 2mm cord to snap into the Zenbivy fast sheet.) You can still keep it open for the warmer nights and close it up...

    Bino harness mod

    OK, this sounds intriguing. Maybe I'll wait to cut any straps.

    Bino harness mod

    This may work- I'll have to check again when I get home. Too bad Kuiu just doesn't make a pouch that lays flat when open. I hate destroying two pieces of gear just to get one that works well.

    Holster for Exo K3 hip belt?

    I think I've tried about every conceivable holster option out there, I too like to take it off the pack and put it on my pants belt when around camp or not actively hunting, and I have not found anything better than Ivory. Love it. It took a while to arrive, but it was worth the wait.

    kodiak canvas flex bow tent

    I've got a Kodiak 10x14, and I love it. Really, the only time consuming part about putting it up is driving all the stakes- I am usually solo, but it is still only about 15 min total. I use a buddy heater sparingly, like 10 min before bed and just before I get out of bed, and it heats up the...

    Bino harness mod

    I am a huge fan of the Marsupial bino pack, I love the way it quietly opens almost flat against the pack and is out of the way, but I'm not a fan of the harness. The Kuiu harness just fits and feels better to me, it doesnt bunch up under my pack and the straps stay flat against my body unlike...

    Kodiak vestibule wing opinions

    I have a 10x10 and the vestibule also. I used an adjustable painter's pole with the rubber foot from a crutch (to keep it from damaging the canvass) in the center of the vestibule when it rains hard. If it is just light rain, ill often angle the corner away from the door down slightly to let...

    Rain gear- Sitka dewpoint input?

    I like my Sitka dewpoint for backpack hunts when it might rain for a bit- they are light and packable, but for hunts when I know it's going to rain for days I use the Kuiu Yukon. They seem to stay dryer longer. FWIW, I live in North Idaho and we can get a fair amount of rain.

    Zenbivy Bed?

    I may take it out again for bear if I pack in- if so I'll post pics. I just put a small snap w/ 1" shock cord that I had laying around on the 20 degree EE quilt and thread it through the Zen sheet loops. Not perfect and I'm sure someone with a sewing machine can make something that doesn't...

    Zenbivy Bed?

    I use an EE quilt along with a thermarest pad, and just picked up a ZenBivy sheet because I disliked sleeping directly on the pad. I made some minor modifications to the sheet and this thing seems to be the best of both worlds- lightweight with the quilt and about 1.5oz for the sheet to hold...

    Argali game bags M.O.B/ High country or both??

    I have the Argali MOB bags and use them for both. For deer, I often only take 2-3 instead of the whole set.

    Rain gear recommendations for Idaho hunt September - October

    I live in North Idaho and I have both Kuiu and Sitka (I'm a gear freak, and we get a lot of rain here). The Sitka dewpoint is more packable, lighter weight and better for my archery hunts and early Oct hunts. If I'm packing in, I take this. If it is colder or I'm hunting from the truck or...

    Lightweight hat of choice?

    I love these hats too and was going to buy a spare one from EuroOptic, but shipping is $18.00 on a $9 hat that weighs less than a pound!

    Try the "I need an X-mid" group on FB. They post them from time to time, and I think there are 2 on there now.
