How much of a PIA factor are Dyeema/DCF for light and fast camping

"Wouldn’t dcf be easier since it dosnt become saturated with water? " I went to silPoly hoping it would hold less water than with silNylon. I know exactly what you mean having to unpack and dry out in the afternoon

Help with mystery ranch packs

I also like the Pinter as it holds my camping and hunting essentials. If I need to extend trip I can carry extra food and water in the load sling.

How much of a PIA factor are Dyeema/DCF for light and fast camping

Hammock and tarp use?

what exped pad ?

For myself I am going lighter on my sleep system for backpack hunting in September. I am already carrying a heavier backpack for meat hauling, kill kit and a little bit of glass. For myself R4.9 is overkill for September but if you need that much insulation Therm-a-rest neoair Xtherm comes in at...
