    Water pump ?

    Update to my system functionality. The addition of the Rapidpure filter does somewhat inhibit the squeeze bulb reinflating. I would say it took 3-4 minutes to fill a Nalgene bottle. Also you have to pin the rapidpure filter to the bottom of the stream or between a couple of rocks as it wants...

    SO Cimarron -standard, light, or ultralight?

    Thanks I was thinking the medium just to keep space maximized which is why I also went with the LBO nest. I don't see myself ever just hanging out in the nest, but sitting by the stove during a rainstorm etc... I can easily see.

    Fully Serrated Kife...?

    Can you recommend a sharpener that you use or do you hand sharpen with steel? I want to make sure when I sharpen my expensive knives that I am not ruining the angles on each side. The knife is an ESEE non-serrated.

    SO Cimarron -standard, light, or ultralight?

    Great write up. I am waiting on mine to arrive. Same setup as yours DCF Cimarron with LBO nest and CF center pole. I will be purchasing a stove eventually as well. What size stove did you go with?

    SO Cimarron -standard, light, or ultralight?

    I am waiting for my DCF Cimarron to ship from SO. I went with DCF for the weight saving as I will use it for solo everything. I went with the Cimarron for the size and shape and I am putting a LBO nest inside rather than the Cimarron 1/2 nest to save even more inches. Lastly, I went with SO...

    Backpack Shootout - 9 Backpacks Go HEAD to HEAD ***Updated 8/5/2020***

    Comitted, I would say don't settle on the pack. There are a lot of deals on Rokslide for gently used packs, sometimes only 1x use. If budget is your #1 consideration I would say shop the 2nd hand market on here or other sites before looking for old tech.

    Water pump ?

    Update to my posts above. I have since purchased the Rapid Pure straw and put the filter on the end of my MSR trailshot. The pump pulls the water up through the filter so I am now filtering for virus as well as bacteria and germs. I still carry the Katdyn tablets as a backup.

    Last 3 sleeping bags western mountaineering vs stone glacier

    Versalite is my vote. I bought mine from Hermits Hut and it is phenomenal. I agree with other posts on here that the 3oz of overfill will at best get you 3-5 degrees, but it does help keep the down where you want it. 2 other easy ways to increase warmth and comfort is first get a great pad...

    Military deals

    Got the mil discount from Exo and the pack is phenomenal as was the customer service. Went with the K3 6400 and I am taking it on an extended trip next week. This isn't a hunting trip so no heavy loads, but I am excited to see how it hauls all the backpacking gear.

    Sleeping pad for side sleepers

    Exped. Im 5'11 and 180 lbs have yet to ever feel the ground. Packs down to about a Nalgene bottle. Maybe a few ounces heavier than the thermarest but it also does not have the crinkle of their insulation.

    2 man Backpacking hot tent?????

    Delivery is sometime in July. I am hoping to get it in around 4th of July so I can take it on my backpacking trip, if it comes in later than the second week of July I won't use it until August. I will be more than happy to provide feedback.

    Stone Glacier or Exo

    I looked at the Kifaru, SG, SO, and Exo. I went with the Exo 6400, but like many on here it boils down to fit and features. The Exo is my first high quality large pack but I have yet to load it up heavy and walk miles and miles. I was very appreciative of Mark at Exo he answered all my...

    2 man Backpacking hot tent?????

    First one. I don't plan to purchase more than 1 tipi and figure I can use this below Timberline year round with the stove. Weight and the no-stretch waterproofing nature of DCF is what pushed me to 800.00 rather than 400.00 for sil. Also, I plan to use it for backpacking, so weight coupled...

    2 man Backpacking hot tent?????

    I did the DCF material with a LBO nest for inside and the carbon fiber center pole. I too ordered the line loc's which are supposed to make the pitch a bit easier as well as to put the nest inside. Im actually going to use it as a solo tent, and will purchase a stove this fall. I was...

    Hilleberg Tents

    Hille makes a great product. I decided not to purchase due to weight. Im not interested in a 1 person tent as I like to keep the other thousands of dollars worth of gear inside. Plus I was not going to pitch a tent above timberline in December, so I elected to go the tipi route and can add a...

    Which Quilt?

    2 man Backpacking hot tent?????

    I am in the waiting que for my SO DCF Cimarron, and am super excited to get it. I didn't like the sawtooth design as well as the SO, and felt the SO might be easier to pitch. As mentioned on here, both are great products.
