    How does Meindl stack up?

    I picked up the Perfekt Hikers this year and couldn't be happier. Wore them through almost constant rain during deer season over a mix of sharp talus and low, soaked brush, through the swampy conditions while not seeing elk in November, and on a couple hike up/mt. bike down trips in September...

    Recommend a tarp for backup/emergency shelter

    I carry a silnylon Maccat Deluxe from OES for covering my hammock. We've used it on several hikes as a shelter to eat or play cards under during a downpour and it's kept us dry. Not quite as light as cuben fiber, but half the price and still at or under a pound. The 4-season or rectangular...

    Nine Day High Hunt Pack List

    Haven't been to the store yet, but I'm thinking some Bird Dog or Fireball, and likely a liter of cab. I'm hoping to make it to where we camped last time by late Monday afternoon/early evening. No more bulky tarp over the hammock (Yep, Justin, I don't leave home without it anymore), so I've got...

    Nine Day High Hunt Pack List

    Don't forget, I'll be replenishing the supplies with additional whiskey, box wine, and sausages on day 3 or 4. That, of course, assumes I don't consume it all before I make it to the top. Oh, and there will be 3 of us to share the load of my buck on the way down....
