    Booze flask?

    My Tommy Bahama cigar carrier came with a cigar shaped flask, probably the same ozs as the small airplane bottles. Pairing a good bourbon with a cigar in the backcountry is absolutely the way to go.

    Exo K3 6400 Pack System Review, By Jon Troxell

    I was sold on none of the brands and went with this exact pack. Absolutely love the pack.

    Exo K3 6400 Pack System Review, By Jon Troxell

    I bought this exact same pack about 2 months ago and thus far it has exceeded all expectations. I have not owned many packs prior to this one and definitely not one of this size. My other two packs are between 2500-3000ci and are both Eberlestock. I compared a ton of packs before making my...

    308? 30-06? or 7mm rem mag?

    So the great thing about .308 is there are 100's of rounds out there differing in makes, quality, bullet type, etc... plus you can generally get .308 ammo everywhere. At least you could before the Chinese flu sent newbies to the store for anything that goes bang. Personally, .300win mag would...

    Garmin Montana 700i

    I too am interested in this device. I have an old eTREX which works, but it doesn't have topo maps, is a very small screen, no color, no SOS/inReach functions. I have been thinking about the GPSMAP 66i or the Montana 700i. There is 100.00 difference between the two. The touch screen...

    Lag Bolts vs Tent Stakes

    Interesting concept. Never thought about large lags.

    Seek outside teepee tent

    I bet if you don't run a stove in it you will have no problems with space. My Cimarron is large and I could sleep 4 side by side without a stove with no problem. Make sure if you are going to put 6 people in a single wall tipi you account for condensation as I am sure there will be the chance...

    Seek outside teepee tent

    I plan to only use this on backcountry packpack trips and hunts. So far where we plan to go there is ample open space to pitch the Cimarron.

    Seek outside teepee tent

    Super happy for everyone who's SO order is delivering, got mine about a week ago. I am waiting on some Lawson Glowire to make my tie outs, but the SO products are absolute top-notch. Next will be to set it up a couple of times to get to a great pitch.

    Seek outside teepee tent

    I just got my Cimarron in DCF and it is absolutely flawless. Took quite a while to get it in, but the wait was worth it. I have not decided yet on a stove, but I am debating between the two large offerings from SO or one I just discovered made by Winnerwell. The winnerwell folds up rather...

    Which Budget Bag

    I have heard good things about Outdoor Vitals, and I am sure there are some posts on here about them. I have a pillow and liner from them and so far they have performed well and construction seems to be good. Keep an eye on the classifieds on Rokslide as well as sometimes there is a "barely"...

    Pad Recommendation

    I second the EXPED. I love mine and if I needed more cushion or warmth I would just throw a therma rest closed cell foam pad underneath.

    Help with brand new SO Cimarron

    So here it is, not fully staked out, really just the 4 corners. But this is the SO DCF Cimarron, with carbon fiber center pole, and the LBO nest rather than the Cimarron 1/2 nest. Will be used as a backpacking/hunting 1p shelter, so gobs of gear room for pack, stove, firewood, and chair. Im...

    Help with brand new SO Cimarron

    This is exactly what I ended up doing. Once I took the buckles off the webbing it made much more sense. Also, I rerouted the webbing through the buckles which helped. I am leaving the gate keeper straps attached to the tent itself where the nest will be anchored. and will use line locs at all...

    Help with brand new SO Cimarron

    Just received my SO Cimarron today and I gotta say it is a gorgeous tent. All the seams are straight, zippers run beautiful, and the DCF fabric is crazy light. What I cant figure is their new staking system. In the videos on the website the points all have a large loop. Mine has the small...

    What experience you have with tents that has open/no floor

    My Seek Outside Cimarron is due to deliver today and the tipi itself weighs I believe right at 20oz so just over 1lb. I am going to run a 1/2 nest in it on a piece of Tyvek so I can still get the bug free bed, but I am looking forward to the stove and no floor combo in the other half of the...
