    Tree Stand Etiquette on Public Land

    Hey guys. Whats the etiquette for tree stands on public land out West? Climbers only? Can you put up semi-permanent stands with ladders? If I put up a stand, will others respect it, or is it fair game if I'm not in it? I know there's other scenarios I haven't thought of, so please lay it...

    Layering a Quilt vs a Warmer Sleeping Bag

    I think explaining what works for you does help. Thanks! Sure. Synthetic base layer I bring just for sleeping (in the hopes sleeping in a base layer that isnt sweaty should help). Heavy wool socks. Kuiu Attack pants. A light mid layer synthetic shirt (whichever I have brought) and a Peleton...

    Layering a Quilt vs a Warmer Sleeping Bag

    I have worn all my layers, minus my puffy which I put in my footbox to keep my feet warm. I was not warm in the high teens in a "19 degree bag". As said above, judging my bag vs the WM's, which everyone agrees are the warmest, I would say my probably competes against WM's 30 degree bag, which...

    Layering a Quilt vs a Warmer Sleeping Bag

    I have worn my layers, it didnt make a huge difference for me. Im tall and skinny and have low body fat, I sleep pretty cold compared to a big guy that has a few extra pounds on him.

    Layering a Quilt vs a Warmer Sleeping Bag

    I do live in a hot climate... but I used my 19 degree bag (IMO more like a 30 degree bag, thats what I think the equivalent is for WM) in the low 50's this summer and it was perfectly fine. If I unzipped it and laid it out I am sure I would have no issues in the 60's... so I am not sure how...

    Layering a Quilt vs a Warmer Sleeping Bag

    Hey guys, I still can't decide what route to go and I'd love to hear some other opinions, especially from anyone that has tried both. I have a couple hunts this winter where average lows in the areas are 10-15 degrees. I sleep cold. I just stepped up to an Xtherm from my XLite, and that should...

    SG Sky 5900 vs Sky Talus 6900

    6900 gets very compact in bivy mode, so I wouldn't worry that its going to be too big. I'm happy I went with the 6900. My only regret is I bought it 3 months ago. Now they seemingly are sold everywhere under the sun and I could have saved money by waiting, lol. I didn't expect Kurt's bags to...

    Oh sweet, I didn't know that they were plastic. Thanks! Anything in particular that can be a PITA when making these pullouts I should warn her about? It seems basic but I don't really know anything.

    DIY Pullouts, pouches and pockets
