100% yak wool for the win. I was a diehard Darn Tough user until I tried yak. Much less sweat and warmer feet. Yak is all I use now for hunts and the DT have been relegated to around town.
Thanks @Mark at EXO . Can you share how much potential weight savings we’re talking about in a 5,000ci configuration?
Just my $0.02, but I view the bag (not frame) as a replaceable commodity after a few seasons (like boots, clothes, etc). I’m more concerned with failure (which would make a...
@Mark at EXO I see there’s at least one EXO lightweight prototype bag floating around for the K4 frame. Looks very minimalist - similar material to Stone Glacier’s Terminus 7000/8700 series. I think something like that would be the cats ass and I would be first in line to buy one … can you...

I am getting a septoplasty on March 25th to hopefully fix my deviated septum. My issue is more structural from breaking my nose a few times. My ENT doc did a physical exam, video scope and then a CT scan. The CT scan was most helpful.
This is my full kit - sometimes I take less if scouting, camping, fishing, etc. All fits in a FAK dry bag and within easy reach. Everyone in the party knows contents and where to find it. Good to be a good backcountry citizen if others are in trouble. In addition I’ll typically have cut...
