    What size of trailer for truck?

    A lot of points already covered on here. I tow a 27' 3" with a 3/4 ton diesel. The trailer is a heavier 4 season trailer so I wanted a heavier truck. In addition I use the Equal-i-zer hitch which per the RV store was a bit overkill for my setup. Not sure how well the twin turbo will last...

    Backpack Compression

    I like the height of the side pockets on the Lanner as well as the overall design of the pack.

    6mmCM recipes?

    Its unfortunate, you guys up in NY and the poor folks in CA have been completely steamrolled by your politicians.

    Sleeping pads

    Yes. Compresses in dia to about the size of a Nalgene, but is a bit taller. I like that it is quiet when laying on it and as a side sleeper I find that my hips dont touch the ground. Takes between 2-3 snozzle bags of air to inflate.

    Beginner Solo Shelter System

    I think you will like it, I am in the waiting que for my new CImarron. Hopefully it ships in the next week or two, sounds like they have been working tirelessly to get orders caught up. Though I say hopefully not at the expense of their quality.

    Backpack Compression

    I have not but I will say that the SO was my second choice and I did order a new tipi from them. I looked at the SO Lanner 5400. Since both Exo and SO are cottage manufacturers I used data from this forum as well as correspondence with reps. Wish I could put them both side by side. In the...

    Sleeping bags best and weight and price.

    I have a WM Versalite which is made from their lightest fabric. Love the bag and it is light and packable. I would never place it directly on the ground, it is always on a sleeping pad, in a tent, likely all on a tyvek ground cloth. It is not loose in the pack but in a sea-to-summit...

    Water pump ?

    MSR Trailshot and then you could use your steripen once you have filled the bottle. Guardian is big and expensive.

    Backpack Compression

    I would still consider the Exo. They are super comfortable and easy to use. I chose them for the frame and pack material. In addition I liked the big compartment without a bunch of pockets or other manufacturer organization cubbies. Lastly, I did the Exo 6400 because they can be compressed...

    Questions for SEEK OUTSIDE - Podcast

    How goes the effort to get the DCF orders shipped? I know the SO staff wasn't sewing much over the last 8 weeks, but am wondering if April/May orders will still ship early July?

    Sleeping pads

    EXPED Synmat UL-W I think. They have a large number of offerings, but I would go for a R Value of 5 or greater.

    6mmCM recipes?

    Just rebarreled my 6x47L into a 6mm Creed. Right now I am running the factory load Hornady Black and getting under 1/2moa at 100 with consistent velocities measured by a Labradar. Im a huge Berger fan so once I start to reload 6mm I am leaning toward the 105's. Im running a 28" Bartlein with...

    Chronograph Reccomendations

    LabRadar. It will miss a shot on occasion, but very easy to use. You will have to purchase a tripod in addition to the unit itself.

    Bases & Bi-Pod help

    I would do accu-tac bipod. Solid, a bit heavier, but the legs are rock solid. I have an accu-tac on my precision rifle and wouldn't replace it with anything. As for rings there are hundreds. Seekins precision makes some nice ones, I use Night Force on a couple of mine but also have some...

    WM Bag Length

    Im 5-11 and went with the 6'6" for a couple of reasons. First many forums I read mentioned that if you are a side/stomach sleeper you add a couple inches to your height. Think about your toes being pointed and adding the length of your feet to your height. Second, it gives room to fully pull...

    FNG On the Colorado Front Range

    I joined in Apr so I guess I am still somewhat of a FNG, but this site is addictive. I too am on the front range in CO, although if my job wasn't here I would live either west slope or central mountains of CO. Denver is a disaster and it is starting to pull in the rest of the front range...

    Pistol Carry with MR Sawtooth

    Im considering the ivory holsters for my Exo bag. I had a drop leg when deployed for about 1 week and got rid of it. Ivory has a couple different attachment options so you could run it on the pack waistbelt and when you drop the pack move it over to a belt. Just another option.

    Western Mountaineering - Where to buy

    Bought my Versalite from Hermit's Hut. Above post is correct they overstuff w/ 3 extra oz of down. Very easy to deal with.

    Trekking poles; gimmick or gear?

    Great thread and comments are interesting. For the last few years I have not used them, but bought a set off Amazon that are highly rated to try out this year. Obviously if you are running a light backpacking tent or some tipi's they are gear as they become your support pole. Im excited to...
