    Quilt vs bag

    I'm a warm sleeper, I decided to try a quilt and loved it. I bought a Katabatic Flex 30, most say this temp rating is conservative and is plenty warm past 20 degrees. I felt it was perfect for me, and if I ever get cold I will add a layer or put on puffy pants and jacket. I've used it in mid...

    Guided Sheep Hunt - packing list and weight critique

    More than likely you will head out with half and get a food drop later, but definitely good to know if you can handle it all at once

    Guided Sheep Hunt - packing list and weight critique

    Schmalzy just a thought... you might want to see how everything fits in that pack. I have the 6900 and found its a tight squeeze for 10 days. Ended up getting myself the 900ci attachment bag to make it work better

    Guided Sheep Hunt - packing list and weight critique

    Lots of great insight from everyone here! Your list is very similar to what I haul around. I've found it to be no problem to carry for an extended hunt. No matter how hard you try it will be hard to get below 55lbs with food and water for a hunt that long. You could go lighter on an item or two...

    Stone Glacier Sky 5900 and Sky Guide 7900 Live Review

    I have the Sky Talus 6900. I find it barely big enough to fit everything I need. The bag fills out and makes the side pockets unusable. Keep in mind this is my experience, with how I prefer to pack my bag. I have the 900cu access bag attached which does help. I would like to try the Sky Guide...

    Size recommendation for Kuiu KUTANA STORM SHELL PANT

    I’m a Medium in all Kuiu gear and bought the Kutana in medium and had room for my normal pants/top and a puffy top and bottom underneath. It was snug but comfortable enough for moving around camp and while glassing

    2021 Best Wild Sheep Photo Contest, sponsored by Stone Glacier

    Guide snapped a pic of me taking in the moment. You just never know if you'll get the privilege and opportunity to hunt them again. Taken August 6, 2021 at Canol Outfitters in the NWT.

    Trudeau also said "We know vaccines don't work" in front of parliament... the video clip shouldn't be too hard to find

    Border Closure Issue

    Generally we would pay the advertised price (in USD). I know on occasion an outfitter may be inclined to give a slight discount to a Canadian resident , but with the demand for sheep hunts this is pretty rare. Especially for a stone sheep hunt...

    The Rokslide Stock Traders Thread

    MEG, NVA, WCP, TVE, SU, CNQ, ERF all companies making handfuls of money as the price of oil increases. Most not even close to recovered to pre-Covid pricing either.

    GRAT.V has been on a tear this past month. Graphite demand will skyrocket with the increased production of Lithium batteries as the EV market picks up

    Severe Tendonitis anyone??

    I dealt with bad elbow tendonitis all through first half of the year. Pain seemed to move all around the elbow, changing almost daily. I couldn't lift anything without bad pain. Tried treating it myself (rest, stretching, gentle massage, ice, etc.) and nothing worked. I got desperate enough to...

    Solutions for a hot sleeper?

    Thanks for the input guys. After a little research I think I will be buying a Katabatic Flex 30 degree. I can always layer up if I get cold

    Solutions for a hot sleeper?

    I usually sleep clothed and have been very comfortable, but this was the first time using the down bag. I figured it would perform way better than my heavy, standard synthetic bag that I take on horseback trips. I think I'm leaning towards a lighter quilt especially if ill be using it in warmer...
