    Wiggy’s sizing and other recommendations

    I was really really close to getting a cosmic but decided against it for a few reasons. Hopefully the Wiggy’s will serve me well and I won’t regret it.

    Wiggy’s sizing and other recommendations

    Aw man I ordered the regular wide a couple of days ago on wiggy’s recommendation. I hope I can return it if it doesn’t work out. I plan on packing it and am concerned about the weight but they have a few colors on closeout and seem to get good reviews aside from complaints about size.. Hoping I...

    warm clothes vs sleeping bag

    I have fallen asleep on top of my bag in merino long johns and crawled into my bag after a few hours in temps mid to low forties. I sleep cold though and like to be warm.

    Coffee !!!!!

    I pack Starbucks via or even Folgers instant. I don’t like instant and tend to chug it down quick to get that caffeine. I love coffee but not enough to carry a Backpacking French press and would probably destroy cowboy coffee. Instant is convienant. Sometimes I’ll bring some of that instant...

    Wiggy’s sizing and other recommendations

    Hey guys, I am going to pick up a new sleeping bag and am really considering Wiggy’s because of the reviews and price. I emailed Wiggy’s concerning sizing because their site describes regular sized bags as fitting people up to 5’9 and 150. I am 5’10 and 160-165 and Jerry recommended a regular...

    Hunting Los Padres National Forrest. Safe Or Unsafe?

    Weather can be great in some areas and awful in others. I grew up on the central coast and feel like we hovered between 60-80 year round. We got some wind but I realized how great our weather was when I moved. I lived in the Sacramento area for a few years and it was hot. CA is a huge state...

    Hunting Los Padres National Forrest. Safe Or Unsafe?

    I didn’t grow up hunting but I spent lots of time in Los Padre NF. I saw the warning signs at trail heads but never worried to much about illiegal grows until I moved up to NorCal. If you see out of place irrigation equipment etc leave the area.

    Scouting for Blacktail

    Nice I need to pick the training up a bit. Lots of hiking but none with a heavy pack. How much weight are you typically packing?

    Scouting for Blacktail

    I am not sure. I plan on doing some solo hunts, but may stick to other Nat. Forest areas for those. I am hoping I will have a friend or my wife to tag along and help me find animals and hopefully pack something out, but I may need to go alone. I don't have guaranteed a hunting partner. I know...

    First Season Hunting Big Game

    I’m starting solo. I try to pick as many brains as I can find but don’t have any experienced friends or family members to hunt with. I am pretty comfortable in the woods but it is a little intimidating getting started alone. Any advice is appreciated!
