Mamba, I checked out the Kylmit web sit. The gear looks great! Had not heard of them. I'm tempted to get one of those ultralight pads for myself and my dog. Might be worth starting a stand-alone thread for the purpose of listing great little companies/products similar to Kylmit.
Robby,
I asked 1hoda to keep it civil, and threw very little gas, considering his smart ass approach. I've commented on a couple other threads about how this is a growing problem on Rokslide. Other guys have commented on it too, with no real response. Definitely not the first time we've seen...
James,
I've eyed those watches but they are pricy. I'm decent with map and compass navigation and will probably stick with the Foretrex 401, which is only slightly heavier on the wrist, mainly as a backup when I'm stalking beasties and not paying attention. If a guy was going to use one of...
Yeah, my dog is a house dog too. I think I'll get my dog a little inflatable pad, or cut a thermarest in half, like Ben said. Also, maybe a small fleece blanket or even a small down quilt. Something like that would only add minimal weight to my pack.
Dogs crack me up. :)
An old girlfriend had a mutt, shepherd mix and that dog was fine sleeping on the bare tent floor. With the Kelpie being a short hair, I'm just wondering if the dog might need a small pad/blanket. I saw that ruffwear stuff and it looks alright.
I have an Australian Kelpie. The dog will be going on a few backpacking trips with me on the western slope of Colorado. I am acquiring a two-man TarpTent model for trips with the dog. I want to get an ultralight doggie sleep system, that can be carried by the dog in a doggie backpack.
What do...
Hmmm, how much gear will you be packing, and what type (heavy, lightweight, or ultralight)? Some guys can go into the field for four days with 20 pounds of gear in a 3600 cubic inch pack. For those packing heavier stuff, optics, etc., a load for the same duration can run 40-50 pounds and 7000...
Vortex didn't bother responding to my email. As an optics firm, Vortex is not central to the fishing market space, and they probably figure the customer base will not care. Having spent a lot of time in the board room, I can imagine how the discussion panned out. Too bad. I agree with everyone...
Simms responded to me by saying they do not currently have a commercial relationship with Montana Wild, and that the ethics of fly fishing are very important to them.
